How to choose the right furniture for the kitchen
Currently, furniture manufacturers provide an unusually wide range of furniture, which literally looks wide. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to decide which kitchen you need and how it should look, i.e. what goals are being pursued.
First, let's decide what furniture is needed in the kitchen
It may sound strange, but the goals can be completely different for everyone. For example, if furniture is necessary just for beauty and the hostess is not an ardent lover of cooking, then in this case it’s quite enough to use the option “minimalism”, Namely, the minimum number of different lockers, everything is just the most basic and necessary.
If the hostess of the kitchen is a business woman, trying to spend as little time as possible behind the stove, in this case you need to "save" literally every step and place household appliances carefully and thoughtfully.
If a kitchen studio is preferred (meaning a combined version, usually with a bar), such a design will significantly increase the kitchen by at least one and a half times, and also turn the house into a very fashionable and modern house, as it usually looks in European or American apartments. However, this option implies mandatory zoning of the room (division into different sections, depending on the purpose: for rest and for cooking). Most often, the border of these sections is a one- or two-level bar counter that separates the kitchen from the hall. Regarding household appliances, it will not be out of place to place additional appliances in the kitchen, for example, a washing machine, and it is also necessary to decide which appliances you like: built-in or the most ordinary.
If the owners are inclined to warm family and friendly conversations in the kitchen, then the kitchen-dining room option is best suited, the design of which is also based on the separation of the work and dining areas using the same bar counter, as well as a kitchen set or other design techniques.
Now you need to determine the color of the furniture
In order to correctly approach this issue, it is best to make repairs in the room before changing the kitchen furniture.But first of all, you should imagine the color scheme of the whole room as a whole, as you want to see it, in plain colors or in a combined version. An experienced designer will best help with this. But you can save money and you can cope with this task yourself by contacting the Internet for help. The only rule that must be observed is that all objects must be in harmony with each other, starting from the walls (color and texture of wallpaper), tiles in the working area, the color of the laminate and ending with the shade of the planned curtain or blinds.
And of course, you can’t do without choosing the style in which the kitchen furniture will be made.
A variety of styles of kitchen furniture
Classic - never aging and never out of style. Implies wooden furniture as close as possible to natural. The classics are ideal if the house has large windows and high ceilings - the kitchen always looks solid and at the same time calm.
Classical
Art Nouveau is a fairly popular style, where the main advantage is convenience: built-in appliances, the complete absence of unnecessary things, because everything is thought out down to the smallest detail. The Art Nouveau kitchen is usually made in bright colors (bright excluded) and looks calm, not flashy.
Modern
Country - no less popular style, reminiscent of the "rural". As in the classics, everything here is also natural: wicker furniture, wooden facades, flowers in clay pots, all appliances are hidden. The kitchen looks very cozy, convenient and simple by definition.
Country
Hi-tech is the exact opposite of country style. In this case, metal and glass prevail, cutting-edge technology, and accessories are also required. The kitchen looks bright, spacious and comfortable.

Some more useful tips
- Play a very important role in kitchen design countertopswhere it is recommended to give preference to a moisture resistant coating. Indeed, the service life of the selected furniture directly depends on this;
- It is also very important that the hinges and guides of the drawers function normally, without jamming or warping;
- Choosing furniture for the kitchen, you need to focus not only on the external attractiveness, but also on the quality of the material from which it is made.
And finally
Regardless of the size of the kitchen, you can always find the best individual solution in the selection of a furniture set, taking into account all the necessary nuances at the design stage, and not when the furniture comes to the salon. And one more important point that should be taken into account: the more extravagant it is to choose the color scheme and the form of furniture, the faster it will start to bother, and it will simply go out of fashion, unless, of course, there is a desire to change it every year.
