Layout

Many factors influence the layout: in which part of the apartment the room is located, what shape it has, how many people should accommodate, location of utilities. Consider the options of modern interior design with real photos of 2017.

Convenient arrangement of furniture in the U-shaped kitchen with a bright fridge

Rectangular shape

The most successful option. If you divide the rectangular room optically into two parts, you get two squares, or two triangles, in which the functional zones are located. For a rectangular kitchen, any arrangement of objects can be suitable: single-row, double-row, U-shaped, angular layout.

Linear kitchens are often used for rectangular rooms, making room for a dining table and other furniture.

It is possible to divide functional zones with the help of furniture elements, for example, a sofa or a TV stand, a bar counter will complement the decor. It is possible to combine the dining and working parts with the help of the island: we will arrange tile and sink on one part, and another for eating, on the other, which can be seen below on real photos of 2017. Large items of household appliances, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, will stand along walls.

The set can be placed along all the walls, preferring light colors

Square

Correct organization of corners is the main rule of modern interior design of square rooms. It is necessary to occupy opposite corners with furniture, and not to overload the free corners with anything, preferring light shelves or a large floor vase, lamps, and other interior decor items.

The square room will provide an opportunity to arrange a set of any type with a kitchen table.

On real photos of 2017, the angular variant of the arrangement of kitchen furniture, where the tile, the cutting table, the sink, the refrigerator stand on the principle of a working triangle, looks favorably. The corner opposite can be arranged as a guest: place the corner sofa with a table. If the corner sofa is folding, then this will create an extra bed for guests.

A cozy L-shaped sofa can be placed on the opposite side of the corner headset.

The U-shaped layout will be the ideal location for a headset in a square-shaped room, all the objects of the working triangle are at an accessible distance. In the front part or near the window there is a dining room with a sofa, which can be an extra bed for guests, and a TV.

U-shaped layout will help rationally use every meter of the kitchen.

With a balcony

Modern design ideas of 2017 allow us to use the balcony. This is a good idea for owners of the kitchen with access to the loggia. This solution will increase the room, placing a dining room or a corner for tea drinking on the balcony part. There you can also put a wine rack, refrigerator. If a complete analysis of the partition between the kitchen and the balconies is not possible, then the effective solution would be to use the sill board as the basis for the countertop of the bar counter, which you can see on real photos. Such repairs will require approvals and significant investments, supply of utilities.

High-quality insulation and warm windows will provide an opportunity to place on the balcony a cozy seating area after a hearty lunch.

If combining a kitchen with a balcony is not possible, install high-quality double-glazed windows for a balcony door and pick up textiles, as is done on real photos. Spend the zoning of the premises by flooring: laminate on the balcony, tile inside the room. The working version of the use of the balcony - use under the winter garden, as in the real photo below.
