Functional use of corner kitchen: dining area, washing at the window, built-in equipment

From shortcomings:

2. If the kitchen is small, most often in the corner put a car wash. The square in this case really saves, but in use such a sink is not too practical - there is little space in front of it. This problem is especially noticeable for owners with a large physique.

Built-in headset lighting in the kitchen

Country

Country is more appropriate for kitchens in country houses. At the head of the corner - naturalness and comfort. Wooden furniture with sweepers, small cracks, chips - the room should have a long-hazed look.

Modern kitchen is not only a place where food is preparing. Increasingly, this room is combined with the living room and becomes a cozy place for homemade gatherings and reception of guests.

Kitchen - important room in any house. It takes cooking and often use. In this room focused most household appliances And economic trifles: from jars with spices to large-sized saucepan. Competently place all this culinary wealth especially in a small room sometimes it is difficult. Each kitchen affiliation should have its place, only in this case the order will reacted. IN small-sized apartments It is necessary to drag on any way, so even the windows are not only decorated and decorated with curtains, but upgrades into a completely different functional zone. Consider popular and non-traditional options for the conversion of window sills and the court adjacent to them.

Window features in the kitchen interior

The windows in the kitchen are often undeservedly ignored. They are used exclusively for direct purpose, only as a light source, and on the windowsill, you can put a couple of cacti and geranium in pots. In fact, this undervalued element of the interior after the transformation can be a completely different functional unit. In standard kitchens, the window is only one thing, but large sizes. Let's start with the glass. The tree is of course naturally and gives a retro old one, but it is more convenient to replace it with modern plastic, which will last long, will not miss the heat or cold. With French panoramic windows, in half the thirst for experiments will have to cool. In this case, it turns out to be sulled except with the selection of curtains, blinds and original frames. Such beauty to force the interior objects is simply sinner, but the usual openings with wide windowsill can be modified and turning into the working area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen. From the window sills make spacious countertops, working areas, storage space or washing for dishes. Let's talk about each of the options for practical use of windows in more detail.

Washing at the window

The idea of \u200b\u200bplacing the washing at the window is not Nova. The first in fact it was tried by the British. In the inhabitants of Misty Albion, the Americans took over the idea, who distributed it around the world. Magazines in the interior fascinated by photos, where the headsets are "wrapped up" to the windows. The most relevant is similar designer solution For small kitchens in small apartments, the old, Khrushchev planning is often. In such premises, almost every centimeter for gold weight. Advantages of such an interior stroke mass:

• The work area for washing the dishes will no longer need additional lighting, which will be replaced by natural. This will save on electricity bills.
• The sink can be "recycling" with special holders for towels, which are installed above the working area directly in the windows frame.
• Aesthetic plus is also important. Now the hostess will be able to perform routine, domestic work with beautiful view outside.
• Wide countertop. Washing - continuation of the kitchen headset, to which extra centimeters are added by the windowsill. Now this zone will be wide and comfortable.

Among the disadvantages note:

• The emerging need often wash windows due to the small droplets of water on the glass, which fall on it from the crane. An apron here is nowhere to post, so the surface will remain completely defenseless. The problem is partially solved by a decrease in pressure during the washing of dishes, but even the most neat owners will not be able to exclude it completely.
• Too high crane can be interpreted when carrying out if the window opens inside. The problem is solved by purchasing a mixer of a special design. Its height is adjustable, and before venting, the unit is simply pressed against the sink.
• Many seems to be too unusual. No dryer for dishes above the sink at the eye level. Disadvantage will disappear over time, since the new layout of the lattice becomes familiar, but at first, the hands will be involuntarily stretched up.
• In standard apartments under the windows have heating batteries. They can be embedded in the headset or transfer. The first fraught with a loss of tangible tool heat, and the second version is expensive.

About wooden frames in this case will have to forget. Increased humidity It will inevitably "eat" the tree and catalyze the processes of rotting. No special impregnations will be saved, so only PVC.

Window side table top

The main rule with such a modernization of the kitchen: the air from the battery should rise, and sink without interference from the window. It is impossible to disrupt its circulation of the installation of table top and the cabinets under it, otherwise the microclimate of the kitchen will change for the worse, it will be cold and raw. On the other hand, an ugly radiator can be hidden with additional niches behind the doors, and the work area from the window sill again will allow domestic things with good daylight, not including electricity. There are three main types of tabletops:

The average height of the working area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen headset is about 85 cm. In order for the tabletop to be comfortable to cook, it should be below the bent elbow of the hostess by 15 cm. Take this fact when modernizing the kitchen, so that you should not cut the vegetables having embarrassed or substituting the low stool.

Dining area

This is another one modern options. If the window goes outside, the dining area becomes one-sided. For those who are used to eating a "round table" face to face with sotrazniki, such an option may seem strange. But even we began to practice the placement of the dining area in one line, as in the cafe. This method is convenient for rapid snacks and significantly saves space. If the windowsill is significantly higher than working areas in the kitchen headset, it does not have to be seriously modified, it is enough to just buy high stools. In addition, meals with a beautiful view of the street raises the mood.

Place for recreation, reading books and snacks

The windowsill can be turned into a cozy soft corner with a pair of decorative pads, which is pleasant to sit, read the book or slowly drink a cup of coffee. Even in the kitchen, such a solution will look at the original, but appropriate. A significant disadvantage is to clean textiles more often than in other premises. You must not forget that the kitchen has its own microclimate, and no matter how well the extractor, but the particles of fat and smells will still be absorbed into the fabric. This decision is superbly suitable for private houses in which there are erkers. Little Niche has to solitude, and a short break will pass with double comfort, if a wonderful view of the city or a rustic landscape opens from the window. W. wide windows Usually low window sills, which are just enough to strengthen the bottom and set the mattress in size. In standard apartments will have to dismantle too high "shelf" and replacing it with a full-fledged mini-sofa, which guests can sit or tired from the preparations. If the windows width allows, on the one hand, there are several narrow shelves for storing books and decorative baubles, which will only add comfort.

Storage system under the window

In cases where the hostess is already desperate to find a free place to accommodate saucepan and dishes, designers offer a simple but original option. Empty space under the window occupied by shelves. They can be both open and closed type. The second option is used if the zone is continuing the kitchen headset. The problem in this case can only be batteries that are most often placed under windows. They can be left and simply not to store products on the shelves, but only objects kitchen utensilswho are not afraid of heat. Either have to start more overhaul And redo the entire heating system in the kitchen, moving the battery to another place. The lid of such a bedside table is used as an additional working area or as a window sill under flower pots And other decorative little things, as before.

Window decoration options

Traditionally, the window opening is decorated with curtains and tulle. The window decor plays an important role, because it depends on how much "will play" in the interior. To evaluate this difference more clearly, pay attention to the "naked" frame during repair or cleaning and on neat curtains adding comfort. The perception of the premises in these cases changes radically. The varieties of the main scenery mass. Eaves also has its own "weight". Recently, the market offers original models with bizarre forms. Eaves are single, multi-row, string, round, wall and ceiling. Materials are leading metal, wood and plastic. Methods of attaching curtains to the eaves set, but most popular are considered:

• Rings (as in the bathroom) with clips or hooks;
• Clothespins;
• Strings;
• Kulisk;
• Loops.

"Clothespins" with the toothy clips, to which everyone is accustomed, has already moved into the past due to their impracticality. They easily damaged a gentle fabric and left traces from "bites" after a long use.

Curtains and Tulle

With the role of curtains and tulle in the interior are determined in advance before the purchase. They can be:

• The highlight of the design, bright and throw, for which guests will pay attention first.
• The neutral background on which the decor will play bright colors.

• Short curtains. Suitable for those kitchens in which the windowsill is not used for direct purpose, and the additional space can not be very close to the cloth.
• Long curtains and tulle to the floor. The unstasive classic that is suitable for stylish and strict interiors (modern, industrial).
• Curtains with garters (cyatasi) and lambrequins. Beautifully look at the kitchens, which are decorated in the style of Provence, Vintage or Victorian motifs.
• Mobile panels.
• The curtains collected along the length.
• Thread curtains.

For the culinary "center" apartment, it is better to give preference to a thin, practical natural textile, which is comfortable to wash, because the fabric will accumulate odors. Synthetics after such operation will quickly come into disrepair.

Roman curtains

Roman curtains are simultaneously elegant and simple, they are sometimes called rolled. As it is clear from the title, they came up with such a way to enhance the windows of the ancestors of modern Italians even during the existence of the Great Empire. Surprisingly, the overall design since the invention of the curtain has not changed, only more options for the main material appeared. The cannon is attached to the eaves, which along the entire length of "rolled" on special horizontal pins. They form beautifully falling folds, and the curtains are attached to the base, which fixes the shape. The entire design is adjusted using a chain or cord. Curtains can be raised and lowered to the desired length. The Roman version is practical, it fits well in almost any design kitchen and ridiculous can only look in the pretentious, rich interior.

Austrian curtains

Austrian length curtains get to the floor. With the help of the cord, they are raised up on the required length, and the material forms neat wavy folds, broken into the sections along the entire length of the canvas. The higher the curtain raised, the volume is going to the tissue. Exquisite option using deep, noble shades of blue, burgundy, brown will be elegantly looking at the kitchen, decorated in accordance with the canons of Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo or ancient style. Translucent fabric with a slight floral pattern is suitable for Provence, Italian, Greek motifs or romanticism.

French curtains

French curtains at first glance are very similar to the Austrian. They really lies with the same idea: the fabric is stitched from the wrong side along the entire length of the threads that form "sections" and collect material into folds. But the Austrian curtains in the "straightened" form to the floor have a smooth surface, and in the French version, flirty assemblies always remain. When the lifting mechanism is activated, they simply become greater. If you choose white color or pastel shades, then this option looks incredibly air and easy, as if the window closes the bright cloud from thin, translucent fabric. Heavy materials for sewing French curtains are not used in principle, it will destroy the atmosphere of flirty and sophisticated France. It combines such an option with the traditional style of the French deep - Provence. In length, they can be in the floor, medium or short. Also allocate two types:

• Static;
• Movable.

The first option is used only for short curtains that do not have to raise.

Kiese

Under the cheese, they mean dense, thick (from 1 mm to 1 cm in diameter) threads. It is made from natural materials (cotton, flax, silk) and synthetic (polyester). Recently, preference is given to the last: they do not burn out, do not understand and serve for a long time. Kiese has a number of advantages:

• She skips a lot of light into the room;
• Does not collect dust;
• Has a slight weight;
• It is easy to handle it with your own hands. When circumcised the threads are not dissolved.

Kisey decorate not only windows, but also openings without doors. Neat, weightless threads do not interfere with the outlet of the room and just as unobtrusively cover the window. Complete with Kisey usually go special ribbons with ties, on magnets or clothespins. If necessary, such curtains can be fixed on the sides of the window. This option looks very effectively, especially if a saturated shade or color graduation is selected with the ombre effect.

Rolled curtains

Rolled curtains are classified by type of design.

• Open system. It includes the shaft on which the cloth, the bottom plan and the control mechanism is winding: the electric drive, a spring holder or cord.
• Closed type system. Equipped additionally a box that fixes the material, presses it tightly to the window and does not allow to burn.

From materials for the canvas, preference is given to cotton, nylon and polyester. Rolled curtains can be monophonic, with print, matte or glossy glitter. In the kitchen, this option is practical and convenient. A well suited design for windows overlooking the shadow side, where the day disappears the need for Tulle. Combined rolled curtains With blinds. To avoid the feeling of the treated room, the material is chosen with the original patterns that fit into the overall design.

Japanese panels

The window design in the kitchen using Japanese panels is usually concise and simple. This option is suitable for minimalism, avant-garde and style of the same name. By type of construction, Japanese panels are divided into two types:

• Simple. In a special cornice, only one groove, with which the curtains are synchronously shifted or diverged to the sides.
• Sophisticated. In the cornily, several multi-layer furrows, which allows you to move each panel separately in the desired side. The option is convenient if it is necessary to adjust the degree of illumination of the room.

For kitchens, the first type is mainly used, since there is no need to constantly move the panel in this room. They are simply closed on the night so that from the street it can be seen what is happening in the room, or during the day when the sun shines quite mercilessly. For Japanese panels, a long service life is characterized, as they wear little. At the bottom of the canvas there are special cargoes that provide its uniform tension.

Original Japanese panels look in cases where each cloth has its own color and print, and in the aggregate they complement each other.

Jalousie

Blinds in the kitchen have a number of advantages:

• They do not collect odors;
• Simple installation;
• They are easy to wash;
• The illumination of the room is easily adjustable.

Horizontal blinds are used more often than vertical. They are tightly adjacent to the glass and allow you to freely open the windows, without constant modification of the mode. This design happens:

• Overhead type;
• Built-in (interferer).

The last option is suitable only for wooden windows. Vertical blinds Most often made from the fabric, and for the kitchen this option is not suitable. Unfortunately, they quickly absorb smells, and they collect dust. For this room, only segments with a vinyl coating are suitable, which can be periodically soaked. The rolled construction in the kitchen is very rare, as it is considered outdated and prevents the windows to open. Blinds are made of aluminum, plastic, fabric, wood and combined materials. All types except fabric are suitable for the kitchen room. Contrary to delusions based on boring office versions, the blinds are of various shades, with color gradation, patterns and prints.

Narrow windows visually expand horizontal blinds, and unnecessarily wide can be pulled out with a vertical segmentation of the structure.

The kitchen with two windows is a real gift for the designer. There is such a layout only in modern, non-type apartments or private houses. For lovers of symmetry, the windows are often drawn up in a single style, as if two twins. In cases where the kitchen is combined with a dining room or living room, different design Allows you to zonate the space so that it was immediately clear that they belong to the two "worlds" at home. If the window sills are upgraded in countertops or bar racks, then the space between them can be filled with a narrow, but convenient seat for seating. For example, a neat sofa or a retro bench for a rustic style, Provence suitable. Moreover, if one window is reworked into the continuation of the kitchen headset, then the second is left in its original form to use it in direct intended.
