Choosing a set for a small kitchen: criteria and rules

The freedom of a small space is the main criterion for choosing a small headset. Usually, it is most convenient to place a corner set in a small kitchen. Of course, someone would argue that a straight set of furniture looks great too. But still, not only the footage of the room is taken into account, but also its other characteristics – a square kitchen or elongated, how narrow it is. Therefore, it makes sense to consider each case separately..

Corner kitchen sets for a small kitchen

A corner kitchen can be L-shaped or vice versa – L-shaped. If the kitchen is square, then it is better not to find a corner set.

Corner headsets are:

With a 45 degree joint. Good for a headset with a very spacious box. This module has the following difference: usually two countertops wings are adjacent to it..
With a 90 degree joint. Suitable for a headset that is quite limited in size. The most common type of wing docking in this case is 60 and 42 cm.

Corner cabinets in which there are five corners are popular in small kitchens. Often the swing door in such cabinets is slightly rounded and curved inward. But usually it is still located at an angle of 45 degrees to other facades. The smallest size of such a module is 800X800 mm.

Cabinets with rounded corners are an order of magnitude more expensive, however, their advantage is undeniable

Of course, such a cabinet is convenient to use, and the rounded corners give it the very softness that is so lacking in the kitchen. But the price will also be appropriate, such cabinets (or headsets with them) are more expensive than more standard models.

But if you make a custom-made kitchen module, you can become the owner of a headset with corner drawers. It is fashionable and functional, it looks very original, and there is no better place to store small household utensils.

How to choose a kitchen set for a small kitchen

There is, of course, more than one selection criterion. And which is more important, it is difficult to say. But you can draw up a hint scheme, using which it will be easier to choose the very ideal option..

How to choose the right headset:

Production material. Will it be plastic or solid wood, or maybe chipboard? Each material has its pros and cons, it is important to focus on the available amount that you can afford to pay for furniture. The middle option will be plastic, the technical characteristics of which are quite good, the design is modern, and the price is reasonable. And it’s easy to take care of a plastic kitchen.
Headset manufacturer. If you decide not to make furniture with your own hands, but still choose a ready-made module, you will have to take a closer look at branded companies or their less famous counterparts. Listen to customer reviews, read recommendations, consider whether the company offers additional services. For example, does she have a free delivery and installation service for furniture, does she take measurements (in the case of custom-made furniture). In the catalog, see what design concept the company adheres to, whether it follows the latest in the world of interior fashion.
Headset shape. If the kitchen is small, then you have two options – you will have to choose between corner and straight headsets, because U-shaped is a rarity for a small kitchenette. Usually they put it only if the dining area is taken out of the room..
Color and design. Light colors are definitely in favor. Bright is also often chosen, since the owners believe that at least somehow it is necessary to decorate, it will designate a small room. But bright does not mean variegated, avoid multicolor, large patterns, rough ornament. But she needs more gloss: reflective surfaces in a small kitchen will benefit her.
Decor headset. The main thing here is not to overdo it. There should not be a lot of small elements, the design is laconic and even strict, no bloating and color pressure. If the decor is made only with your own hands, and in a small amount – great.

The capacity of the lockers can be increased due to the height of the room and not its width.

Not knowing what to choose – classics or newfangled trends, choose a style. A certain interior style that you will like more than others, and already based on its laws, you can choose a certain headset.

Design of kitchen sets for small kitchens

The design of the small kitchen unit has some peculiarities. Whichever style interests you, there are some things that should, in one way or another, be present in any design concept..

The design of a headset for a small kitchen space is:

Metal in decoration and framing of some important interior elements;
Mirror surfaces;
A lot of light;
By increasing the length of cabinets and pedestals, you can reduce their width;
The design can change even only because of the horizontal drawing of the facades – such a drawing visually expands the room.

It is sometimes easier to make a small kitchenette to order, because in a small set it is easier to take into account all the requirements that you have for a kitchen module.

But I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the tendency to equip the apartment yourself, and the kitchen space, including without using ready-made headsets, can be considered very popular today. For example, so, with your own hands, you can equip a small kitchenette in one of the popular interior styles. For a sample, you can consider such an option for arranging a room as a do-it-yourself Swedish-style kitchen.

DIY kitchen set for a small kitchen: Swedish style

What must be in a Swedish-style kitchen is a lot of light, austerity in forms, functionality in every item. And the Swedish style is also very democratic – you can never say about the prosperity of a person who lives in such an interior. But you will definitely make sure that this person has a taste.

When planning a small kitchen, it is important to correctly distribute the space.

To equip your small size in such a Scandinavian style, you need:

Give preference to a cold, but white color, bright accents (for example, green chairs) will still “warm” and embrace it;
The headset should have a simple design – very comfortable, uncomplicated, without complex shapes and decor;
Natural materials – Swedish style is, above all, environmental friendliness.

Do not be afraid to use old furniture that you can turn into a fashionable interior element with your own hands. Grandma’s dresser, painted in a milky color, can be useful in the kitchen.
