Ideas for a small kitchen: piggy interesting solutions

Small kitchen somewhere close Khrushchev or brezhnevki can hardly count on the title of convenient facilities. But this does not mean that it can not be made functional and ergonomic. Presenting your attention the treasury of interesting ideas and solutions that will enable even very close kitchen not experience discomfort.

Optimizing space

The problem is not so much a small kitchen in a modest squares, as in the amount of furniture and equipment necessary for setting up. And the biggest chunk of usable area "bites" headsets. From it and begin.

Placement of furniture

The best option placement of furniture in a very cramped kitchen (either Khrushchev or any other small-sized housing) is considered to be L-shaped layout of cabinets. But this is true only when it comes to the standard set. In fact, in small rooms is better to install built-in furniture made to order. First, it will harmoniously fit into the overall kitchen space, and secondly, to enable the best use of every square centimeter, leaving no gaps.

Here are just a number of cabinets, even very narrow in this kitchen can get a reduction - simply because of lack of space. In order not to deprive yourself of extra storage space for utensils and supplies necessary to use the following ideas:

• Mezzanine - extra shelves above the ground near wall cabinets will increase the useful volume of the kitchen units, to "relaunch" its vertically. In some cases, the mezzanine can be placed even on the refrigerator, and the entrance door to keep them rarely used dishes. It is also a great way to visually raise the ceiling low apartment in the Khrushchev.
• Drawers - a small kitchen, they should fully occupy the bottom row of the headset. Such systems are more spacious than traditional shelves for hinged facades.
• Wardrobe-column - it is not a standard pencil case for the kitchen, but the monolithic structure mounted in the total number of furniture. The inner recess of the enclosure are discharged by embedded appliances (dishwasher, oven or microwave). Located "turret" devices occupy minimum space in a small kitchen, but themselves are very roomy. The upper part of the column again, the same can be reserved for the mezzanine.
• Discard the handles on the doors headset. The usable area of ​​the gain will be small, but on a close the kitchen you will stop getting bruises and abrasions. In these modules to build a better mechanical or Electroaccessories, through which easily open any locker by simply tapping on the door.

A radical solution would be to purchase a unique mini-kitchen.

design idea completely copied from the rotary table organizer for writing instruments: the same stable base, which rotates around a central axis of the built-in suite with all necessary appliances. A sort of a hut on chicken legs, which can be rotated to him by any party of your choice: sink, cutting table top, oven or mini-fridge.

windowsill

In some kitchens, this part not as a class. But in the Khrushchev sill not only very wide, it is also located directly above the deep recess of the winter "refrigerator". Depending on the layout and size of the window openings that zone can beat differently. The most popular ideas for the kitchen to Khrushchev:

• The niche below the window may be converted under additional cabinet, for example for storage or preservation of normal ware. True, it is necessary to elevate himself Khrushchev refrigerator inside and out, finished it, and insulated doors closed cute.
• Very wide kitchen windowsill will cope with the role of an additional working area or a dining table. To do this it will need to replace curly top made of laminated chipboard, and better composite.
• Also, here you can transfer the sink, if you can stretch to the window, water and sewer - it is still a space idle without work, and his literate arrangement can save additional space at the other end kitchen.

correct retention

The main disadvantage of the majority of small kitchens housewives believe that a small amount of cabinets just do not fit all the necessary utensils. Here it is not fit to think about the disadvantages of close spaces, but about their own relation to the storage of things.

Before you cut out of the kitchen plan additional square to accommodate one more module, try these ideas:

1. Conduct an audit of all its pans, pots and other large utensils and remember the last time you prepared each of them. If it's been 2-3 months, and you've never once taken advantage of some object, it should get rid of. Optionally throw - can give mom clean the pantry or to take away to the country. The main thing that the extra utensils no space in your kitchen cabinets. As a result of such a "census" you can stay just a couple of pans and three pots of different sizes, which are really necessary.
2. If you are only going to acquire the dishes, take a look at a compact kitchen sets and separate subjects of various sizes, but similar in form. It is desirable that the large utensils easy going "pyramid" and had removable handles.
3. Nafarshiruyte cabinets in the kitchen modern furniture. Carousel, magic corners, organizers and holders for drawers allow to place in existing modules a lot of small items, and at the same time will provide free access to them.
4. Part of the devices on pereveste railing system, placing them in the working area of ​​the kitchen. Utensils, hung on hooks and crossbars, cease to occupy space in the closet, but there will always be at hand.

Also, as an additional storage area, you can use a soft dinette. Spacious box under the kitchen sofa folding seats solve the problem of lack of shelves in the main cabinet.

Unfortunately, this piece of furniture can not fit in a tiny Khrushchev - this option is more suitable for the kitchen area of ​​not less than 7 squares.

If the room has remained unused narrow niche in the wall, here is better to put a sliding bookcase or butylochnitsu with a large number of internal shelves and holders. Here you can store household chemicals, beverages, fine kitchen textiles or spices. Some are placed in such flat reprimands canisters, lids for pots and even dinner sets.

Extendable elements and transformers

Reach can be not only the usual boxes. Today, the furniture manufacturers are seriously engaged in equipping the small kitchen and gave us lots of ideas:

• Built-in countertop cutting boards, sometimes once a bin for easy cleaning cleanings. Such a device can be found in some models of kitchen sinks.
• Pull-out tables and even stools - allow you to organize a dining area, without taking up the only free corner in the kitchen (a great idea just to Khrushchev). As further worktop can be used to increase the operating space.
• Tables and kitchen sofas transformers, as well as folding and stacking chairs. As they folded does not occupy much space, but one movement transformed into a comfortable full-sized furniture.

design approach

Here all the tricks are aimed only at a visual extension of the space, creating the impression that the kitchen space larger and more spacious than it actually is. The practical benefits of this will be a little, but the interior will definitely more comfortable and harmonious.

Basic techniques:

• Maximum light - a well-lit sun rays or more lamps kitchen does look a little more spacious. It becomes "more air", and to replace the oppressive narrowness comes easy inherent rooms are medium in size.
• Glossy surfaces, glass and mirrors - all that can reflect light, helps to visually expand the space. However, it should be borne in mind that small items of kitchen decor and the hoof, if you choose a material with high reflectance. This will give the opposite effect - the feeling of clutter and congestion of space. To avoid this, it is necessary to considerably reduce the number of actual items in the kitchen.
• The neutral palette of light colors in the interior. As you know, white and shades of those close to him do all the things visually larger. That kitchen seem more spacious, if you paint it in bright colors of the walls, and even of furniture to choose a similar color - not too stood out from the crowd.
• Awesome idea - 3D-Wallpaper, expanding perspective. If you give it at the mercy of one of the free wall, close to the kitchen space immediately added to the endless sea, endless dense forest or a cozy yard. The total area will not change, but the visual effect is simply stunning.
• Custom floor finish in the kitchen. Oddly enough, some design techniques and is able to work in the right direction. For example, two-color tiles with a diagonal or longitudinal laying wooden "pattern" postpone the kitchen wall, thus creating the illusion of spaciousness.
• Arched doorway instead of swing door or sliding design that allows for a time to combine the kitchen space with the adjoining room.

You can also use items from a dining group is absolutely transparent plastic or tempered glass - they become almost invisible in the interior of the kitchen, which contributes to the expansion of prospects.
