Alternatively, the cut can be ordered nearest shop in your town, after preparing the specifications for the main cabinet.

Choosing kitchen sofa design, better to stay on the modular assembly as corner section without additional racks would not reliable enough. It is also interesting to look and are quite reliable corners of the pallet.

Dimensions of upholstered furniture is best defined in the kitchen plan, drafted in the scale (you can use graph paper). The most important thing, "put" area so that the passage between the dining group and other pieces of furniture is not less than 60 cm. Other parameters are also chosen arbitrarily, but use these figures for a benchmark:

• The height of the backrest can be any, especially if it is curly, like the picture of designer furniture. But it is the most comfortable kitchen "growth" of 85-95 cm.
• Optimum seat depth of 45-50 cm, but note that the back is still a thick layer of foam, which steals a few centimeters. So blanks from particleboard will be slightly wider.
• The overall dimensions of length and width of the furniture you choose yourself, but if the area allows, will be enough to make a standard corner 1,2h2 m.

If you enjoyed the photos dining area, and its dimensions are not suitable for your kitchen, you can adapt peeped option. Just calculate the multiplicity of some of the parameters to get a constant factor and move all the values ​​from the original drawing in its size.

Materials and cutting

For the manufacture of corner kitchen settee their hands need chipboard laminated sheets 16-18 mm thick. When the furniture layout is ready, you can perform detailed, expanding the area to the boards. Look carefully at the picture you liked model and possibly from all sides, so that nothing is missed.

You should get something like this specification:

• The front panel of the box under the seat - 2 pcs. and the same rear wall.
• Figured rack (supporting sidewall) - 4 pcs. 6 or if the sofa will consist of three separate sections.
• The bottom of the box (you can use MDF) - 2 pcs.
• Seat and back - 3 pieces.

All this is necessary with the help of paper or in a special computer program "expanded" on a standard sheet of particle board to build a cutting scheme. Examples detalirovok specifically for kitchen corners can be found in the photo on the web. Then only will give the drawing furniture makers or use it himself if all the work decided to perform his own hands and out.

After cutting the finished parts be sure to okormit. It is better to take a good tape ABS-plastic already coated with adhesive, instead of cheap and short-lived PVC. However, this service it is possible to order the professionals who will tailor your furniture sheets.

The most difficult moment in all work - back corner of the kitchen sofa section. Make it a semi-circular sheet of chipboard with their hands will not succeed, so it is better to simplify the task and collect it from three separate panels.

Stitched the couch with your hands need to purchase foam 38 g / m³ 5-10 cm thick, dense upholstery fabric type tapestry, jacquard or artificial leather, and a thin nonwoven web to close the fastening on the back side of kitchen furniture. Blanks for soft elements smeared with glue and put it on the packing. Thus tailor 2cm wider foam sheets for seats to fold on the end edge inwardly. For backrests add 4 cm, because there will have to bend the foam from above and from below.

To carve out their own hands the furniture fabric is stitched with a margin of 5-10 cm to the hem on each side, it is attached to the seat with the help of a stapler. In this case, the material should be good to pull and bracket to drive around the perimeter as much as possible. We do the same thing, and with backs. Particular attention should be paid to the corners: the more accurately you add them up and secure, the more your self-made sofa will look like a picture from a store catalog.

All elements of the kitchen area are ready, it remains only to fill center plates on the ends of the lateral legs. You can do without them, but in the case of the DSP is better to spend a few minutes to do the right thing. Firstly, the small support allow safely move furniture on the floor without scratching coating and flattening the lower edge. Secondly, they are slightly pripodnimut Area, so that during washing floors you do not damage or wet wood particleboard panel. And the kitchen sofa for accurate glides looks more aesthetically pleasing - photo of the factory can not be distinguished.

Assembly

Now before you lies a constructor that you only collect their own hands in a single package. Boxes couch and side seat mounted the same way:

1. Mark the sides and drill them in deepening under the dowel. They plant support rails, which take over the weight of the bottom box and the top of the seat.
2. Screw metal corners 27x27 to cabinet side - by 4 per. Through them, attach the rear wall of the furniture to obtain an open box.
3. Set at the bottom of the resulting frame of polished chipboard, then screed to fasten the faceplate. And it is better to slightly tilt - 10 degrees to sitting at the table was comfortable, and the bar does not interfere with the legs.
4. Screw from the inside to the back wall of the box support bar and have it put piano hinges and fasten them jump seat.
5. Evrovintami backrest to fasten to the sidewalls, making a small inclination of about 5 °. They are fixed to the bench through the support bar, planted on a dowel, and using slightly bent metal parts.

Now our kitchen sofa looks more like a couple of individual benches, which will connect the corner modules. It is easier to do without the lower box, but with their own side supports for strength. In fact, here you just need to tie shaped legs strap under the seat and lock them already covered cloth segment. With dowels rest on it is attached, which in this case acts as an additional stiffener. All - built module can be screwed to the short and long benches corner, pulling them together, and your kitchen furniture with their hands ready.
