When determining the style of kitchen design, you have to consider the aesthetic wishes and tastes of all family members. At the same time, it is necessary to place functional pieces of furniture and all types of kitchen household appliances in the kitchen space, which should have high quality characteristics and be in harmony with the general style of the room.

In houses built at different times, kitchens have certain differences and design features. The whole variety of modern kitchen facilities can be divided into several types of premises:
  • very small spaces in small apartments, in which you can place several pieces of furniture and the most necessary household appliances;
  • large kitchens where you can install a full kitchen set and a complete set of modern household appliances;
  • with niches in which you can put household appliances or storage systems;
  • non-standard, where there are ledges of walls or columns, which designers often use to divide the room into separate functional zones;
  • with several windows, where a competent approach will be required when searching rationally for the arrangement of furniture and household appliances.
A very popular modern design technique is the combination of the kitchen space with the living room or dining room area. This allows you to push the boundaries of the room and create a large single space, designed in a single stylistic direction.

Options for the execution of kitchen furniture sets

In modern apartments and private houses, the area reserved for the kitchen room can have a variety of sizes and shapes. Not only the dimensions of a set of kitchen furniture depend on this, but also the choice of the option of its spatial placement:
  • single-line execution provides for the installation of necessary furniture and household appliances along one of the walls of the kitchen and is suitable for small premises, often a retractable table is included in the package, which saves usable space;
  • angular or L-shaped is a reasonable choice for small kitchen spaces, which allows, in comparison with other options, save usable space by filling one of the corners of the room with furniture or household appliances;
  • two-line equipment (installation of furniture and household appliances along two opposite walls) is possible in rooms where there is at least 1 m 20 cm wide free space between the furniture rows; this set often includes a mobile or folding table design;
  • U-shaped configuration will be a good choice for rooms where in the installation process it is possible to use just three walls of the kitchen, while the distance between the opposite walls should be in the range from 1.2 meters to 2.8 meters.
  • a kind of kitchen with an island can be used only in large enough premises (at least 16 sq. m.), while you can use the island as a dining area, work surface or fill it with household appliances and storage systems.
Using a special catalog will greatly facilitate the selection of the most suitable execution of the kitchen, taking into account the parameters of a particular room.

Classification of household appliances for the kitchen

The modern kitchen is filled with a large number of a wide variety of household appliances. A careful review of all types of household appliances, which greatly facilitate the work in the kitchen, allows you to choose the right models that can be classified:
  • by functional purpose, that is, by the type of work that it performs;
  • by color and design of the housing of the household appliance;
  • by power and energy intensity;
  • in size, this technique is divided into large units (stoves, ovens, refrigerators) and small household appliances (mixers, kettles, vegetable cutters);
  • according to the method of placement, household appliances can be built into kitchen furniture or special niches, hanging, which is mounted on the walls, and its smallest representatives are stored on shelves or in cabinets.
