Narrow kitchen - a problem zone of the apartment. A place for cooking in its destination should be not only cozy and attractive, but also convenient. For visual expansion Space narrow room exist general ruleswhich obeys the kitchen. Providing convenience - the task is more complicated, the design of narrow kitchen is developed separately in each case.

Much depends on whether there is a window or balcony in the kitchen, what are the length and width of the room. How to make the kitchen seem more, accommodate everything you need in it?

Working out the design of a narrow room, it is necessary to take into account 2 principal directions:

• formation of the interior of any elongated room;
• specific features for cooking space.

When planning an elongated room, you try to visually increase the width and reduce the length, make the room more square. The leading role in solving this task belongs to color. Choosing a bright decoration for walls, ceiling, furniture of non-latch pastel tones, you can visually expand the room. The use of saturated, dark tones will turn an elongated room In the tunnel or coupe of the train.

Flowers finishes should be a bit. Usually choose two shades, the cold are preferred. The greatest effect will give gray, blue, white colors.

The setting style also subordinate to the common task. Minimum decorative elements, attracting attention, bright details create a feeling of a single light space, which seems spacious. Minimalism, high-tech are preferred from styles.

Visitally expand the room diagonal floor pattern. Choosing a coating, stop on linoleum with a suitable pattern or laid diagonally tiles.

An interesting solution is furniture of two colors, dark and light. This option is applicable for a two-row arrangement. kitchen furniture. The dark side rushes into the eyes, and the light merges with the wall, adding the passage between the rows of the width.

Kitchen design should reflect its purpose. Besides general requirements, the elongated room must be done functional. The working area consisting of a stove, washing and table is formed taking into account the convenience of use. Movement in the narrow passage will slow down the cooking process, create an inconvenience hostess. Based on the length of the room, it is divided into 2 zones: dining and working or endure a dining group beyond the kitchen.

Planning options

There are 4 basic ways to create a narrow kitchen interior. They differ in the options for the placement of furniture:

• single row;
• double-row;
• M-shaped;
• P-shaped.

Single-row alignment is the most common. It minimizes obstacles to movement, but does not allow to rationally plan the work area. For each trifle, the hostess should separately go to the appropriate cabinet.

The double row is more profitable in terms of the organization of the workspace. However, that such a narrow kitchen layout is possible, a sufficient width of the room is required.

The two-row layout is chosen if the remaining passage will have a width of at least 100 cm.

Double-row layout is suitable for narrow, but long rooms. Narrow kitchen design with window in front often provides for dining areaadjacent to the window. Further from the dining area to entrance door There are two rows of cabinets and household appliances.

M-figurative layout allows not to occupy one of the walls, which facilitates movement and visually increases the width of the room. With a sufficient width of the room, M-shaped furniture alignment allows you to accommodate a linen dining table that can be folded. Such a layout is convenient for the formation of a working triangle.

The angular placement of furniture allows the use of a single M-shaped countertop that captures the working area and can serve as a dining table. The use of special angular or radius lockers smoothes the angle. Furniture of these models has a lot of capacity, which is important when the space is lacking.

Kitchen design with window

The design of a narrow kitchen with a window at the end can provide for the P-shaped placement of furniture. This option allows you to arrange all cabinets on the opposite walls, and the place under the window to give under the work area.

Next to the window do not have gas stove or hobs panel. They are installed so that the air flow during ventilation does not quille the fire of the burner.

Long and narrow kitchen design with education working area Near the windows makes it possible to use the rest of the room for the installation of the dining group.

What exactly to buy from the furniture and how to place depends on the location of the doors and windows. If a window is located in one of the ends, and the door is located along the long side, then a small sofa or corner is set near the window, and the cooking zone is shifted to the opposite direction from the window.

If the distance from the door to the window exceeds 120 cm, the working area can be moved to the window, and use the opposite end wall to create a recreation area. The lockers hang on the wall at the maximum height, and a small soft sofa is installed under them.

Having a place to make food near the window, a window sill and a worktop are often connected. It gives a win in the square and allows you to get a large comfortable table.

Balcony

The kitchen design with a balcony can be resolved in two ways:

• the balcony fits into the interior, but does not turn on in the room space;
• the balcony is re-equipped for year-round use as part of the room.

The lavetled balcony is used as a summer veranda. If the lack of a place in the main room does not allow to create a full-fledged seating area in the kitchen, a small table with comfortable chairs is transferred to the balcony. With sufficient loggia area, it is installed a small sofa and a TV. After all, the kitchen is the most visited and frequently used room in the apartment.

An option of a warmed balcony in the interior of a long narrow kitchen is an additional area on which the work area can be issued. If you do not want to carry the sink and pull additional pipes on the balcony, you can position outdoor lockers and a refrigerator on it, which will benefit from such an accommodation.

Choice of furniture

The kitchen set for an elongated space should not be too large. If you choose the necessary items among the finished samples will not be able, you will have to make a headset to order. This will increase the costs of room equipment, but will allow planning rational and visually increase the space.

The furniture is chosen by light tones. This is especially important for premises with a high ceiling. Dark furniture will turn the room into the gorge. For high ceilings light walls, The ceiling and furniture complement the dark color gamut of the floor to visually reduce the height of the side walls of the passage.

The upper lockers hang as high as much as possible, choose models with light shiny facades or with glass doors. It is advisable to do without protruding handles, as they will make it difficult to move and can cause injury.

With a bilateral or P-shaped layout, the built-in household appliances are placed along one wall, the tabletop and the depth of floor lockers from the opposite side are reduced to increase the passage. The sink and refrigerator are located at a distance of at least 60 cm from the stove.

If the kitchen is large enough to place a dining group, install a table with a glass table top, plastic chairs with transparent backs. Thanks to the free passage of light, the room seems wider and more spacious.

The design of a narrow long kitchen allows expansion of space due to the failure of the attached elements. Standing below lockers do not fall into view, leave the maximum width of the room. If you cannot refuse attached shelves, you choose a combined headset with dark outdoor lockers and light mounted shelves. Brilliant shelves' facades visually increase the space at the eye level.

The small kitchen is furnished, taking into account the lack of free space. Hinged cabinets choose or order the highest, dishwasher or washing machine hide under the sink. The retractable table performing the functions of the worker and dining, hide under the windowsill. Under the windows, there are niche for storing a saucepan.

The already passage, the more the campaign and retractable elements should be present in the interior. Outdoor cabinets are chosen with drawers instead of the traditional door. This equipment facilitates the use of furniture without prejudice to the passage.

Use instead of the horizontal blinds or Roman curtains helps to expand the window area. The transverse stages of the ceiling, echoing with the window design, turn the elongated rectangle of the room into the square. Make the kitchen deeper saturated tones of the apron between the worktop and mounted shelves.

Lighting

Place for cooking should be highly lit. This is necessary for work, in addition, lighting is a great tool to control space. Cuisine lighting is divided into 3 groups:

• central;
• highlighting the working sector;
• individual light for dining group.

For a narrow room, the chandelier is chosen at high ceiling height. Otherwise, ceiling lamps come to shift, creating uniform bright lighting of the entire area. Good decision Point rotary lamps will become, allowing to focus on the selected area. But the upper light is only the first stage. In very small rooms, for example, in Khrushchev, you can refuse it. The main thing is to provide good illumination of the working area. Small premises Get enough light from highlighting functional sectors.

At the upper boundary of the mounted cabinets, a cornice with built-in light bulbs are installed. Local light sources are located on the bottom surface to illuminate the working area. The dining group is provided by light with suspended lamps. The number of them can be varied. The design of a small room often provides for one lamp, but more advantageous, suspended at different heights.

The table located at the wall will successfully clarify 1-2 sconce. The flooring on a high arc provides good lighting and looks modern, but its installation is not always possible due to the lack of area.

When choosing lamps pay attention to the color spectrum. For the convenience of cooking and creating comfort, luminescent or halogen lamps with yellow spectrum are suitable. The lamps choose simple, and the power of the lamps in different lighting devices should not differ too much.

Attaching efforts narrow extracted kitchen You can make cozy and comfortable. Proper combination of colors, a good choice of furniture will ensure comfort and good mood of the whole family.

Double-row kitchen especially letter M is the most common option of any kitchen

With an average narrow kitchens will suit Double row accommodation. This option is more successful, like mistresses, as it is convenient for cooking. It is necessary to plan furniture setting, taking into account the "kitchen triangle". Refrigerator, stove for the preparation of basic dishes and a large sink cannot be located on one side. It is advisable to accommodate them grouped to be able to quickly move to each instrument. For accommodation just perfect. Not suitable You can not even consider.

P-shaped kitchen must be as comfortable as possible.

P-shaped layout Suitable for narrow kitchens only in exceptional cases. Such a placement of furniture is possible provided that square meters Enough, the owners cause inconvenience only the stretch of the room. The kitchen set is divided into segments. More important devices are installed in the transverse side, and then there are devices descending importance. It is possible to limit the rows of furniture, to make them shorter than the length of all walls until it stops. This action provides additional free space.

Photo of narrow kitchen design

Long and narrow kitchens are often found in block typical houses. From the point of view of design and functionality, the arrangement of such a premises is not an easy task. But this does not mean that the owners of such rooms are doomed to "non-functionality", the inconvenience and the need to squeeze between furniture and appliances. The design of a small narrow kitchen requires a special approach to the arrangement, in this article we will tell you some interesting ideas.

Narrow long kitchen - design, photo and interesting ideas

Performing a narrow long kitchen design, it is important not to overload it and try to correct the proportions. Fortunately, there are several ways to organize a kitchen with such architecture, at least a few.

Let's start with the most radical. If you do not see another exit, you can make a decision to demolish or transfer the wall or make a niche in it, open. As a result, we get fashionable interiorwhich will have an open kitchen combined with the living room.

In case if open kitchen It does not correspond to your ideas about this room, or to carry the wall is not possible, then you have to look for other solutions. We can save the wall, but significantly expand the entry area, in this case you will have free access to the room. In the doorway, you can put: traditional doors occupy too much space, and sliding when opening are hiding in the wall. Glass door to the balcony will give extra light.

Narrow and long kitchen: the letter "g" or the letter "P"

Depending on the width of the room, the cabinets can be installed in accordance with the scheme with similar letters "P" or "G", that is, the cabinets can be located on one side, including the area under the window or on both sides.

How to choose the right furniture accommodation in a narrow and long kitchen? The width of the room should be taken into account:

• with the width of the room to 180 cm, it is recommended to install cabinets along one wall;
• with a width of 240 cm we have a slightly more features.

It is extremely important to leave at least 120 cm of free space in the central part, otherwise the use of space, a particularly large number of family members will be uncomfortable.

Narrow I. long kitchen In the form of the letter P allows you to get optically more preferred ratios than furniture along the wall. At the same time, we can plan a uniform distribution of furniture and necessary equipment And get a lot of storage space and a fairly large working sector. But there is one here important moment. Often we place furniture from top to bottom, thus the interior is very overloaded. Therefore, it is better to harmoniously distribute cabinets and alternate them with open shelves, on which you can place some dishes or banks for spices.

Also help us in this translucent doors with glazing and religion, where you can hang kitchenware.

Self simple solutions are the best. Sometimes to shift the focus with the size and proportions of the room just choose the right colors. In a narrow kitchen should be avoided dark flowersBecause they optically reduce the room. Of course, bright colors are best suited.

Some optical effects can bring in the interior of the mirror located on the wall or on the side walls of the cabinets.

The most successful colors for small rooms is:

• white,
• beige,
• various shades of gray
• yellow,
• blue.

On the contrary, on the most narrow wall we can place an interesting drawing, a picture or graphics. On a free wall, you can stick a photo wallpaper with a perspective that visually increase the space.

Brilliant furniture fronts are also a good option For narrow kitchen. They, like a mirror, will reflect the details of the interior and beat the space, making the room visually more. Therefore, it is worth thinking about what furniture is suitable for you, after analyzing other factors. You can read about it in the article about what to choose.

It is also desirable to take care that the kitchen countertop is in the shades of the floor, the consistency of this decision will give a harmonious type of narrow kitchen.

The key point, no less important than choosing the color of the walls of the kitchen, is the choice of lighting. With this form of the room, the natural light goes through one small window installed in a narrow wall in the depths of the room. Therefore, a twilight can be dominated from the window. It is very important to highlight this wall.

In addition to the main lamp, it is necessary to highlight the worktop, the very convenient solution will be. It is necessary to evenly illuminate all the main sectors of the room, including the cabinets can be highlighted.

Where is the long and narrow kitchen to find a place for the table? If you are lovers of the traditional approach to the dining room, then you can break or fold-out, which in the event of guests visit you can increase, and in everyday life it will be compact and not to take a lot of space.

Here you can also apply other original and non-standard solutions, for example, a table, folded from the wall, or retractable from the kitchen wall. Under the window, we can put with chairs or re-equip the window sill, placing a worktop on it. So we get a comfortable breakfast room for two-three people.

Calculate the countertop, taking into account the fact that one person will need 60 cm. In the case of a tabletop under the window, you can choose a table slightly higher than the standard, in the form of a bar rack and bar chairs to it. With the table at the window we do not lose the workspace, as it can become a continuation of the table top of the kitchen itself. If you do not want to spend the working surface by the window, then the bar rack can be made elsewhere in the kitchen.
