Kitchen interior in a wooden house

Tree as a building material has been used for more than one century. Today, with a large selection of building materials, the tree also does not lose its popularity and relevance. This is due to the high operational, environmental and aesthetic characteristics of natural materials. And the special attention is drawn to the kitchen in the wooden house.

Features of the kitchen in the house made of wood

As in any residential building,in the wooden house a special place is occupied by the kitchen. Since this room often performs several tasks, its design should be functional, practical and cozy.

Typically, the kitchen is divided into several zones:

• work area, which serves for cooking;
• space for lunch;
• quite often the kitchen performs and the function of the living room.

Based on these features, to stay in the kitchen is comfortable and convenient, some important aspects should be considered in the design:

1. The ventilation system, lighting, plumbing, refrigerator and stove position are of particular importance in the kitchen of the wooden house. Thus, it is recommended that the hob is equipped with a good hood or placed near the windows. The refrigerator should be placed in a dark place.
2. In case if the house is built not so long ago, having communication, it is necessary to take into account the possible process of "subsidence" of the building. For these reasons, the pipes and wires are placed on a special frame. Therefore, considering the interior of the kitchen, care should be taken to make these communications as inconspicuous as possible.
3. It is also necessary to take measures aimed at preserving the wooden material. The kitchen is a place of high humidity. The tree, as is known, does not have resistance to moisture and is quickly destroyed under its influence. For this reason, the material should be treated with special compounds. This measure will help preserve the tree, make it easier to care for it. In addition, it will make the material fireproof.
4. Wood processing will increase the life of the building material, but it will not be able to protect it from spoilage due to the constant ingress of fat, food and moisture during cooking. Therefore, the apron - the most affected place, should be protected with a finish.

There are several best options for this kind of finishing. Let us consider them in more detail.

Types of finishing of an apron

An apron refers to a part of the wall surface in the kitchen, which is located between the hood and the sink. Those.this longitudinal zone, which is at the level of the working segment, where the hostess is engaged in cooking, washing, etc. Make a high-quality finish of the apron can be made of such materials:

1. Plexiglas is a material that has a high enough strength and a transparent structure. The latter feature will help make the interior of the kitchen in the wooden house more original. For example, under plexiglas you can put a spectacular backlight.
2. To protect the apron, you can also use tile masonry. This material is easy to care for, it retains the external appeal even after several years of operation. In addition, tile has one more advantage - a relatively low cost.
3. Another rather effective option for finishing is the mirror. The interior, complemented by such an element, will look rather profitable and unordinary.

You need to look after the mirror constantly and carefully. This material is prone to scratching. Therefore, care should be neat, otherwise this finish prematurely fails.

Lighting the kitchen area

An important aspect of the kitchen design in the wooden house is lighting. Since the tree has the property of absorbing the sun's rays, it is necessary to provide extensive illumination. If it is a kitchen with a small footage, in this case it will be enough for one large window or two openings of medium size.

When creating artificial illuminations, care must be taken for the presence of diffuse and point light. Dispersing lighting is achieved by installing lamps in the ceiling. Point light should illuminate the main areas of the kitchen. For example, a place for cooking or a dining table. This effect can be achieved by installing wall sconces or a hanging lamp.

2. If the kitchen is not large, the L-shaped layout is the best option. This option will give the maximum practical use of the angular space. In this place you can put a sink.
3. When finishing the kitchen in a wooden house can be used and parallel planning. It involves placing work areas on opposite sides of the room. Such a design solution will provide a more free movement around the room. With this type of planning, the sink and the stove are recommended to be installed near one wall, and under the other place the refrigerator.
4. If the kitchen area has sufficient footage, it is better to apply the layout of the U-shaped type.
5. The last option is called island. You can create it by using each of the options listed above, but with one feature. In the center of the kitchen you need to put a table.
