Kitchen living room 17 square meters: the design and layout

The kitchen area of ​​17 squares already have a place to roam. Enough space, so there is easy to accommodate everything you need and still remain free place. But to use this location was convenient, and the owner did not have to run from one end to the other, will have to think carefully about the future plan. But in choosing the design you are virtually unlimited.

layout options

linear

At 17 squares so simple layout will select a maximum of space for comfortable dining area. At dinner one would have to huddle in the corner, and approaches to the table will be accessible from all sides. However, when a large extent of wall furniture working triangle may be too stretched, so that by the main regulated zones need to come respectively.

Place the washer within 1-1.5 m from the cooking surface, and the spacing between them let them take cutting table. Fridge is also better to place near the sink.

Storage space for basic utensils also have to place the compact - closer to the working table top. For this stone under her better equip deep drawers with internal dividers, and the top row cabinets to make the most high and spacious, everything you need to fit precisely in this part of Headset. Not superfluous will and rails: handle and prepare foods is much easier when everything is at hand.

two-row

The kitchens in the 17 meters this option is rare, because it is suitable only for very elongated and narrow spaces. The alignment of the modules and core technology in this case is performed along the long opposite wall, which allows to arrange almost ideal working triangle. However, it has its own rule, between two rows of kitchen furniture distance should be not less than one and no more than one and a half meters.

Dining area in this case would have to be placed in the back of the room: the window in the end of the headset or as a continuation of one of the series. There is one caveat: because the lockers are usually put almost right at the entrance to the kitchen, the door will have to rewire so that it opens to the outside, not the inside.

angular

A great option for facilities of any size. Suitable for open-plan kitchen with living room, and in the case of an organization full dining room. Places such a set does not take much more than linear, but it allows you to create a comfortable work area for the hostess. However, the use of angular options plan does not mean you have to completely get the two adjacent wall cupboards and appliances to its full length. This headset looks ridiculous, and extra modules for the most part will be empty.

U-shaped

This is where this unusual layout looks really harmoniously, so it's a 17-foot kitchen. Even if the work area is part of the studio apartments or combined with living room. Particularly well this solution looks smokers correct form with equal sides. In this case, the center can be established round or square dining table suitable design.

Especially in interior looks elegant U-shaped kitchen with window in the center of the headset. It is better to arrange the main work area where you need good lighting: washing, cutting table. However, it will have to move, and utilities. If you like, and 17 meters at its maximum sense of space, give up the wall cabinets in the side wings of the U-shaped headset - here and lower pedestals will be more than enough.

The island

Very modern and comfortable design option is well suited for large kitchens, and in terms of functionality it is better not to find. Here everything the hostess at hand, and in addition it can simultaneously prepare and communicate with family or friends, who looked into the guests. For this island in the middle of the kitchen is often combined with the dining or bar countertop - and the place is saved, and not have to run to dinner to the table.

The shape of the island should be chosen the same as that of the remaining free space of the kitchen. That is, the square is suitable only for square rooms, in other cases, use rectangular design.

Peninsular

This option is ideal if the additional meter kitchen has grown at the expense of the living room attached to it. Here Peninsula functions as not only a continuation of the work area, but also helps to visually delineate space. However, when two arch divides the room with an integrated bar, the final corner set, this option is also called peninsular.

If 17 squares everything for a comfortable kitchen you are missing due to the fact that part of the area belongs to the living room, it is better to replace the standard island it is so "appendix". He will be just as functional, but due to the abutment of one of the walls will release much more storage space, making the transition to another part of the room more comfortable.

Design and finishing

Despite the relatively large area, kitchen 17 squares imposes some restrictions on the choice of finishes (although not critical). The design is better to abandon the following decisions:

• Mirrored surfaces (tile, furniture front insert). They would further increase the already rather big room, which will begin to appear just immense and therefore not too comfortable.
• Zoning space via the contrast and saturated pastel colors. On a large kitchen area, especially combined with the living room, you risk getting an incomprehensible image, as if glued together from two different frames. Make working, dining and relaxation area in the same design and color palette.
• In the combined space kitchen and living room We need a common semantic center. As a rule, it becomes a bar or an island, but it should not pull the attention from the true "owner" of the room - a sofa.

If the kitchen seems a bit empty, no need to artificially increase the amount of furniture and equipment in it to fill the space. In such a room to create a chamber effect is better to resort to other design options:

• The relief decoration on the walls, and without glitter effects.
• Bold color combinations - will be especially look good furniture, contrasting with the wall.
• Bright's emphasis on the background wall with the help of photo wallpapers, or just attention-finish with a complex pattern.

When choosing furniture necessarily follow that the basic set and a dining group size was proportional to each other. Of course, the temptation to put a large table for 12 persons, giving him space maximum. But on the background "scanty" lockers kit for small apartments will look like a poor cousin. Accordingly, the long and massive wall of the furniture does not fit the compact table for two - it just gets lost in the background sort of swinger. Stick to the golden mean.
