Today we will learn all about corner headsets in a classic kitchen.
Features
Corner kitchens are in great demand today because they are comfortable, practical and stylish. They can be L-shaped or U-shaped. The latter are more suitable for large and spacious kitchens, but the L-shaped (or L-shaped) will be the perfect solution for a small room.
Today, many people are faced with the problem of lack of free space in their homes. This problem did not bypass the kitchen. Often, the owners do not know how best to place everything you need in a very limited quadrature. This is where the corner furniture designs come to the rescue.
If the room is less than 10 square meters. m, such a headset will become a real "lifeline".
Corner kitchens are also distinguished by the fact that they are ideal for combined spaces. We can talk about a popular studio apartment or two rooms connected to each other - a kitchen and a living room. In such circumstances, the corner furniture design can serve as the subject of zoning of space.
A little less often angular headsets are bought by owners of spacious country houses.True, even there such furniture is appropriate, it is simply equipped with additional functional components, since the area allows.
Headset angular design, like standard direct kits, must be selected in accordance with the general style of the interior. Fortunately, modern manufacturers produce many different options for such furniture sets. Interesting new items are constantly on sale. For the interior, designed in the classical style, you can choose a wonderful corner headset, which will make the atmosphere more comfortable, welcoming and attractive.
Main characteristics
Many people prefer the classic style in the interior. The situation in this vein always looks dignified, solid and rich. There is no excess pretentiousness, variegation and catchiness - everything is reserved, noble. Before heading to the store for a selection of corner kitchens in a classic style, you should find out what basic characteristics it should possess.
- Furniture design must be sound and steady. There should not be any staggering, swaying or poorly fixed parts. Furniture with such defects can spoil the entire ensemble.
- In classic interiors, furniture made of natural wood is most often placed. Furniture structures made of valuable species like oak look especially harmonious and rich, but such options are expensive. Instead of natural wood, many people buy MDF kitchen sets - this material can perfectly mimic a solid wood.
- Classic-style furniture sets can be complemented by beautiful decorations. Embossing, inserts from precious wood, stained glass, patina, mirrors will be appropriate.
- Classicism is characterized by the fact that columns can be present in all areas. This applies not only to architecture, but also to the interior and even furniture. These elements may be present in the corner kitchen set.
- Typically, classic furniture is made in bright colors. Beige, white, cream or milk shades are suitable. In some cases, in contrast to such palettes, wood is preferred in noble dark colors. For example, a luxurious combination of mahogany with copper decorations looks elegant and expensive.
Externally, classic kitchens look simple but beautiful. The design can be either L-shaped or U-shaped, and complemented by an island or bar.
Facade color
If we are talking about arranging a small-sized kitchen, designed in a classic style, then here most often they put small headsets, whose facades are painted in calm colors:
- cream;
- beige;
- creamy;
- champagne;
- bleached or stained oak;
- white ash.
Corner kitchens in such colors are able to visually make the room lighter and more spacious. In rooms of small quadrature, it is better not to turn to dark palettes, since they will only reduce the already modest space, make it cramped, "crushing".
In classic interiors, angular headsets designed in rich colors look interesting and expressive, but visually can “overload” the space. Typically, classic designs in this vein are brown in all the richness of shades. It can be sets from pure black to light cognac tones.
Rarely, classic kitchen sets are colored. If manufacturers resort to a certain color, then it is usually neutral, calm. Natural colors predominate:
- delicate shades of green;
- Dark red;
- burgundy;
- wine;
- light yellow;
- pale blue.
Materials
As mentioned above, the facades of classic corner kitchens are often made from the natural massif of a tree or high-quality MDF imitating wood.
On sale you can find relatively inexpensive headsets made entirely of MDF only. In classical versions, this material is often supplemented with natural wood veneer or cheaper coatings - polyvinyl chloride film or enamel.
Furniture designs that combine materials such as MDF and solid wood. For example, a panel from MDF is inserted into a frame from an array. Such options for facades are inexpensive, but they are more practical than wooden ones (MDF does not allow wood to deform). These types of facades today are very popular and in demand, so they can be seen in many furniture stores.
Decor
Classic kitchen sets are often decorated with beautiful stained glass inserts, spectacular decorative milling, grilles, pilasters and other details characteristic of the classics.
To make the interior more interesting and cozy, you can stylize the area of the stove or hob as a fireplace portal or hearth. Such decorations look amazing in classic environments.
Can resort to artificially aging classic facades. The noble touch of antiquity can be given to them by resorting to patination. Against the background of the elegant, aged facades of the kitchen set, fittings stylized as antique bronze, gold or silver look chic and stand out. The presence of painted ceramic inserts is allowed.
Classic corner kitchens are often complemented by a decorative element in the form of an open shelf, designed to accommodate beautiful dishes, cute jars with spices, souvenirs and porcelain figurines.
How to place household appliances?
Many people are interested in how to place household appliances if the kitchen is made in a classic style? In most cases, such combinations use exclusively built-in models of refrigerators. This device can perfectly mask a tall sliding wardrobe equipped with a blind door without glass.
It is very convenient when the oven and microwave are built into tall cabinets in the form of columns (a great complement to the classic style) and are located approximately at the level of the waist or chest. In this case, the younger family members will not be able to get to the indicated equipment, and the hostess will not have to do the slopes again to check if the dish is still ready. In this case, both above and below there will be enough free space for installing shelves and drawers.
Beautiful examples
Classic corner kitchen sets are the epitome of elegance, simplicity and nobility. If you choose the right furniture set for the kitchen space, then it will sparkle with new colors and become more comfortable. Let's look at some attractive examples.
If in a small kitchen it is recommended to put only light headsets, then in a spacious and oversized room there is a place for a chic set of solid black wood. A luxurious L-shaped set in this color can be complemented by golden lines, embossed stripes, rounded edges of the cabinets. A brown retro plate will look spectacular in tandem with furniture. This furniture set is best placed on the background of beige or peach walls, a white ceiling with a black wrought iron chandelier and a black floor trimmed with a wooden board.
Originally, against the background of light finishes, a solid set with burgundy facades decorated with golden lines will look. If in the kit the upper cabinets are made in white and decorated with stucco molding, then the result will be a truly chic furniture design. Such a set will be combined with black stone countertops, a white stove, beige-gray wooden floor and a multi-level ceiling with a classic chandelier decorated with pendants.
L-shaped wooden set, designed in brown tones, with rounded (radius) cabinets at the edges, will look harmoniously against the background of a wall decorated with imitation of brickwork (instead of masonry, you can put white tile). On the floor you can lay out a tile of gray tones, repeating the print of natural stones.
The set will look harmonious with a stone worktop in beige or milky shade.
