Kitchen set: how much is ready to order?

Kitchen set determines the character of the interior. On it depends the design style, comfort, and even the "mood" of your kitchen. Lifetime it should work flawlessly, if necessary, easily repaired and preserve the aesthetic appearance. Let's talk about how to find a set of kitchen furniture, fully meets these requirements.

Where to begin?

The first thing to do before buying a headset for the kitchen, this room measurements. And the need is not only the height and length of the walls, but also the distance to the summing up of communications. Indeed, in a furniture wall will have built-in appliances, and here to install the sink. Make paper kitchen design and transfer the results of measurements on it.

Then make a list of required you to run the modules and equipment. This will help you to choose the kitchen to be really functional. If the room is quite small, it is necessary to consider options for the replacement or modernization of bulky items. For example, instead of shelves equipped with bollards lower row of roomy drawers without handles.

When you will be in the hands of the floor plan, as well as the approximate composition of the "players", you can proceed to the choice of the scheme of arrangement of furniture from the options:

• straight;
• corner;
• with the island;
• two-row.

The last stage of preparation - determine how much money you can spend on such a serious purchase. If the budget has turned out a good margin, better to order the kitchen set individually. There is such expensive furniture standard, but it allows you to use the space optimally.

important criteria

Now you will be confronted with the diversity of which is famous for the modern kitchen sets, and confused. But we are not in vain so carefully prepared. We will step by step be picture perfect furniture set. So, what does is kitchen?

Number of furniture

If your kitchen does not compete in size to the palace, you have to look for bunk kitchen sets. And when the modular kit will collect in parts, would be nice to start to understand what elements it consists of, and how many do you need for happiness.

frame

For the manufacture of kitchen sets require a solid foundation. This corps of all future cabinets, pedestals and canisters. Most often offer prefabricated structures made of individual panels, which are collected on the bolts. In them the same ease of transport is not, as in the ease of installation. But are more durable laminated furniture base. There are those, however, rare and are considered one of the hallmarks of luxury furniture.

facades

Doors with handles and overhead panel drawers - "face" of any set. Here the choice is richer, and it is dictated by the abundance of decor, as well as the diversity of the materials used. Among the facades kitchen furniture classics It has long been considered MDF panels. They do have an optimal combination of reasonable prices and high quality.

For expensive furniture often use natural wood, shiny metal or tempered glass. But if you are a supporter of bright interiors in a contemporary style and cost of materials, choose for your kitchen set plastic.

findings

In addition to all kinds of pens and pads, furniture is still all sorts of useful devices:

• straight grid and shelves;
• guides and hinges;
• folding mechanisms;
• closers and dampers.

All of these products will have to literally pick up the piece of modular kitchen set for each subject. Thus it is necessary to immediately determine where and what you store - the only way to accurately calculate the amount of required hardware.

Handles select much easier, because any manufacturer represented in the samples fit harmoniously into the design of the majority suites. More important, that their form was easy to open.

Not everyone will like the laconic pen-balls, as well as the wet fingers glide over them, and the first time it is difficult to open the door. Quite different is the case with direct reylingovymi handles, but there are some limitations. In a small kitchen unit with such a large furniture will seem more cumbersome. Alternatively, you can order one material different in shape of the handle for the upper and lower row of cabinets.

dimensions

The main dimensions of furniture for the working area, select from the standard range, but taking into account the measurements performed:

• The height of the floor pedestals with tabletops - 85-90 cm, depth of 60 to 90 cm.
• Direct modules mounted on a height of not too limited (30-92 cm), as may be vertical or horizontal layout.
• The depth of upper cupboards of kitchen furniture ready - 30 or 45 cm.
• The distance between rows is conventionally 60 cm, but it can be varied in the range 50-90 cm.
• The width of the upper modules, in general, is not standardized, but the lockers is less than 20 cm are not found.

Do not forget to leave on the plane of the passage between the working group and the dinner table about 90-120 cm, so as not to cling to the handle of furniture or chairs when dinner is served.

But with the choice of kitchen units to Khrushchev, the situation is more complicated. It does not fit the standard modules and will have to either look supercompact options or to order custom-made for specific sizes.

Choose manufacturer

Previously, the country of production can be judged good or bad you have chosen for the kitchen set. The word "imported" by itself means "a reliable and beautiful." Until now, Italian companies are the best in this business - legislators fashion furniture yet.

But the difference between domestic and European models are not so noticeable. And where it come from, if the same Belarusian kitchen sets are made in German and Italian equipment. furniture manufacturing technology today is also not kept secret, it turns out that our furniture is not worse than the European models, but costs much less.

It is very convenient if there is furniture production anywhere in the city. In this case, the local representatives can order kitchen on the sizes and designs. Just look at the samples and ask reviews of other customers to avoid contact with any underground workshop.

Individual order kitchen furniture from the manufacturer cost slightly more expensive than buying ready. But here it is already possible to adjust costs through choice of materials. However, for the quality of pay still have.

What do furniture?

Materials for manufacturing kitchen sets are quite diverse and different from each other as the price, and durability. The kitchen, which is always something being cooked, roasted and cleaned, need furniture, resistant to moisture and high temperatures. To care for the suite brought no problems from it also requires easy-to-clean surface that is not afraid of household detergents.

Kitchen sets with facades and handles of different materials with the same set of modules may have different value. Let's see, from what makes the door in descending order of price.

There is such furniture is not cheap, but for all the service you it will not be any problems. Just choose tempered glass or laminated glass at least. A need embodiments of metal corrosion resistant aluminum or stainless steel.

MDF

An excellent material for the manufacture of kitchen furniture - from the box to the facades and shelves. Composite is very tight, so good resists excessive moisture. On the strength of MDF little inferior to the tree, but it is worth less, which significantly reduces the cost of production of furniture.

Plastic

The material, which causes a lot of controversy, too, is entitled to their place in the furniture world. But in the production of kitchen furniture plastic usually used only as a protective coating particle facades.

chipboard

This inexpensive material often is used to produce housings. Facades of laminated board is also not uncommon in low-end models. Particularly resistant such panels have not, but if the laminating coating enough dense and well covers the edge in a kitchen headset will be able to hold out for a few years.

The functionality of the kitchen
