Transformer kitchen and other types of transforming furniture

Many housewives huddle in a small kitchen and try to place all the necessary furniture and equipment as accurately as possible. It seems that everyone is already used to crowding and small aisles, but you can save yourself from this. A convertible kitchen and folding furniture can improve both functionality and aesthetics of the room.

Transformer furniture is an excellent solution for small apartments. The essence of such items is that not all of them are used simultaneously. For example, a folded table will completely replace the work surface during cooking, and for a family dinner it can be laid out. Retractable and extendable structures have the following advantages:

• a great way to save space for a small kitchen;
• ergonomics and comfort of use of a kitchen set are increased significantly;
• creating a certain design style, because you can make furniture to order or even make it yourself;
• Improving the aesthetics of the kitchen due to the lack of bulky furniture.

Transforming furniture is imperfect, like any other. Some flaws are rather subjective, but they should be taken into account.:

• the constant folding and folding of furniture does not appeal to everyone;
• regular use of such furniture leads to the rapid emergence of traces of operation;
• this option is not combined with all styles; a headset of this type is inappropriate, for example, in Provence;
• it is worth thinking about additional fixation of the sliding elements, sometimes the protection may not cope, and the folding table will cause injuries.
• frequent shifts will be difficult, transformers have an impressive weight.

The main idea of ​​such furniture is considered to be space saving. Furniture items that are not used constantly, simply add up to a more compact look. Once they are needed, they can be easily decomposed back. Manufacturers offer transformer kitchens in two variations.

The entire kitchen set can be folded. In a compact state, the kitchen looks like an islet. Unfolded, the furniture turns into a full-fledged kitchen with stove and worktop, sink, dining table and chairs. In this configuration, everything is as ergonomic and functional as possible.

Manufacturers think through every little thing, therefore even the dishes are located inside in special cabinets and niches. Such transformer kitchens are quite expensive. The island can be either round and located in the middle of the room, or angular, rectangular and installed along the wall.

This design can be ordered or purchased ready-made for a more reasonable price than the previous version. Folding tables and chairs allow you to save space during cooking, when they are not needed. It is such a set that can often be found in small kitchens.

Compactness above all. Folded furniture is reduced by at least 2 times. It is worth considering the size of the kitchen when choosing transformers. It is important to determine the place where the folded furniture will hide. The dimensions of the table and chairs in full size should enter the kitchen so that there is room for aisles.

Particular attention should be paid to the coloring. The choice is especially wide if you take furniture to order. However, it is worth considering the features of a kitchen set of this type. Most of the finished structures are made in white. Experts believe that when choosing you need to consider some tips.

1. Too dark or bright options when decorating a small kitchen are unacceptable. They will visually hide the space.
2. Pay attention to headsets in warm and bright colors. They look stylish and expand the space.
3. White and grayish colors are ideal for modern high-tech kitchens. In this case, dark shades in household appliances are acceptable.
4. All shades of yellow and muted green in combination with gold, white and beige are ideal for a classic style.

Absolutely all furniture can be replaced with transformers, which a priori takes up a lot of space. The dining table in the form of a book is folded into a compact cabinet. The construction, which is mounted directly on the wall, looks quite interesting. The transforming table can be folded into a rack. Typically, the design can be laid out in 2 positions: a small countertop and a full-fledged family dinner.

It is possible to equip a small-sized kitchen as comfortably as possible, although at first glance it seems to be unrealistic. For this, certain furniture options are suitable.

• Looks original full wall wardrobe which hides in itself everything you need. Inside are niches for storage, benches, a table. This piece of furniture is designed for small families, but very compact.

• Vertical stalls quite popular among housewives. Inside is hidden the necessary appliances. It can be a small refrigerator, an oven, a hob, a microwave and even shelves for storage. Depending on your needs, you can open or close the content.

• Transformers with bed combine a berth and a table. It is very convenient for cases when guests remain in the house. However, consider this option as a permanent bed.

• Transformer stand can combine an attractive piece of furniture, a hob with a countertop. Inside the furniture you can store essential utensils and important kitchen accessories.

• Folding dining groups quite relevant in small kitchens. The unfolded structure is a table and chairs, stools or benches. Usually, when folding, the seats are hidden in the table, and the table itself is folded into a cabinet or rack.

The choice of cuisine is a very important and acute issue for the hostess. Everything should be convenient and functional. In the case of small-sized kitchens, the situation is complicated by space. It is important that the kitchen does not look cluttered. In this case, tips for choosing a folding headset come in handy.

1. To save space, you can use built-in appliances. If the hostess often cooks, then the stove should be taken in a good, right size. If cooking does not happen often or in small volumes, then it makes sense to pay attention to the cooking surfaces with two rings.
2. If the kitchen has a clear place for the dining area, it is better to choose a folding table. If the meal is planned somewhere in the middle of the kitchen, then you should choose a table-book or a folding transformer.
3. You can completely abandon the usual table. An excellent alternative is the built-in countertop and two stools in the kitchen. This can be realized when buying furniture to order.

The main task of such furniture is to save space, so you need to arrange all objects as thoughtfully as possible. Examples of the location of the transformer kitchen:

• it is convenient to install the multifunctional structure along the wall: the space in front of it should be enough to use all the modules;
• an island with everything necessary for cooking can be placed both against the wall and in the middle of the room;
• the stall looks best when it does not stand close to the wall, but closer to the middle of the room, it should be possible to bypass the structure from either side;
• if the structure unfolds only in one direction, then choose a place so that the unfolded parts do not interfere with the entrance and exit from the kitchen;
• transformers in the form of a cabinet will allow you to divide the kitchen space into a working and dining area.
