Built-in kitchen furniture allows us to solve many problems of close or simply non-standard premises complex architecture. With its help it is easy to arrange a comfortable and ergonomic work space, even if the kitchen is replete with narrow niches protruding corners or is part of the studio apartments. Of course, the built-in furniture would cost more than a standard headset, because it is made only under the order. But you can choose any design that perfectly fit into the interior.

The main thing - the project
Before you start the production of furniture, any serious manufacturer will ask you to create a design project. It is needed not only to visualize the future of interior, but also to determine the number of basic elements, decorative accessories and facades sizes.
In drafting criteria:
- The shape and size of the premises, as well as its architectural features;
- Location and size of window and door openings;
- Placement of engineering communications;
- The number, size and location of the installation of household appliances;
- family members as well as mode and features meals in your home;
- Personal preferences of the hosts on the interior style and color palette.
The basic rule of design built-in furniture: first you need to buy household appliances, and even under it to determine the size and layout set.
You see how many things you need to consider to create a truly ergonomic kitchen? As a rule, this work is done by professional designers, but you can try to make the project their own, if you're handy with the relevant computer programs. Alternatively, simply sketch a diagram on paper, but experts have already outsource it to the 3D-designer. But all have vymeryat with millimeter precision - this is the feature of furniture without housing.
After that you have to draw up and sign a contract with the contractor, which will not only produce, but also to mount your kitchen, since most of the work is done directly on the spot. Be sure to check the application, which indicate a complete set, size and specification elements of manufacturing and delivery date (here should alert the word "preliminary"), warranty documents.
Advantages and disadvantages
Built-in furniture - a sufficiently broad concept. In pure form it is simply a set of different storage systems, shelves and holders fastened directly on the walls, floor and ceiling. With traditional furniture her native only facades, which are partially or completely cover the inner contents. This is a very robust and reliable design, stationary, allowing to use the kitchen space as efficiently as possible.
However, high-grade modules, custom-made according to your size, also often referred to as embedded. They have a back cover can be completely absent, and the role of the side walls sometimes perform vertical bridges that divide number into separate "cases".
In this and in another case, the main advantages of built-in furniture remains unchanged:
- No gaps between the modules and the wall makes the kitchen neater, easier for her care and allows efficient use of every centimeter of space.
- Compact accommodation with all necessary household appliances in specially prepared cells of appropriate size.
- The amount of internal volume and functionality of the cabinet is completely consistent with the concept of the home side a comfortable kitchen.
- Possibility to mount the furniture without any problems even on the walls are far from ideal.
- Exclusive design.
By cons, as we have said, it concerns the higher cost of furniture, made in a single copy on order, as well as the timing of its production. This may also include the installation complexity, because there is no room for maneuver, and any error in the installation will affect the external appearance of the entire kitchen. The rearrangement of the furniture, if the finished result suddenly seem uncomfortable, and speech can not be - all the elements are fixed permanently.
Equipment
In fact, built-in kitchen - a solid row of wall cabinets, actually finished furniture components (angular or linear). It is located between two walls limiting the room or on the one hand closes the standard shield. Between these planes and shelves placed telescopic system for drawers, and also vertical webs, to which are attached front parts: swing, tilt, lift and so forth.
But because there is an individual approach is welcome, you can also order the production of the individual elements of the "headset":
- Wardrobe-column - the perfect solution for tight spaces, allowing arranged in one vertical row of a lot of built-in appliances. Alternatively, it can be placed in a sufficiently wide recess, formed by the duct between the ventilation shaft and kitchen wall.
- Rack-partition - for the zoning of the space combined kitchen and living room. It can be single or double-sided, and have through the shelves, if he is required to good light transmission.
- Corner Module with functional internal fittings - allow you to create an ergonomic S-shaped kitchen, the best use of awkward corners of the room.
- Mezzanine - increase the useful volume of kitchen furniture, simply increasing it up to the ceiling. They do not take up extra space, but are suitable for storage of utensils, which you rarely use. For convenience, they are fitted with special shelves, elevators - they can be easily lowered to reach the desired dish.
- Housings niches for installing built-in appliances: a refrigerator, a dishwasher and a washing machine, liquor cabinet, oven, microwave oven. Also included furniture can include special boxes, masking gas column or hood over the stove.
- Combined rack - ideal for the wide kitchen niche, a bay window or "dead" angle of the door.
- Folding table - a piece of furniture should be provided, if the kitchen area is small and the cutting surface is too small to complete the work.
- Narrow cupboards and butylochnitsy - thanks to their narrow width easier to fill in too tight a space where you do not build a full rack.
When the headset is built completely arranged, it becomes clear what the size and shape should be at the table top, which unites the whole set. It can be combined with a monolithic kitchen sink, supplemented by side "wings" that increase the functionality of the work area, or a compact bar.
Ordering the production of built-in furniture, pay maximum attention to hardware functionality. The more elaborate and comfortable interior will be "filling", the more likely reduce the total number of embedded elements. This means that you not only save some money, but also release a little more kitchen space.
