To equip a small room, it is necessary to take into account many parameters. Everything affects the size: the dimensions of the furniture, the selected shades, the texture of the finish. Identical rules work for a small kitchen, in which the angular kitchen set will look most harmonious and compact. This furniture set can be in different configurations, taking into account the location of the plate with a sink, all this is solved individually, depending on the characteristics of the room itself. So, how to choose the right furniture and appliances for a small-sized kitchen?

Corner kitchen set can be ordered on an individual project

The main advantages of the angular layout

Advantages of such furniture placement:

• Compactness. Thanks to the placement of the headset in the corner, space is saved, and if you make all the furniture to order, it is suitable for accommodating any size, even the smallest. Models made according to individual sketches can also be located in rooms with a non-standard layout - niches, protrusions, etc. The spaciousness of the cabinets and drawers of an angular headset for a small kitchen is not inferior to more cumbersome visually direct options.
• Ergonomic design. Corners not only take up more space, they are simply traumatic. Furniture with smoothed forms occupies a smaller area, differing in a special aesthetic appearance.
• The ability to create a kit to order. Furniture made to specific standards, from the necessary materials with a pre-planned internal content will fit into any style of kitchen interior.

The main types of corner sets

Such sets have two important properties for small rooms - compactness and functionality. This allows you to save valuable space in which there will be enough space to accommodate a refrigerator or a soft corner with a sofa and a table. In the photo you can see different versions of kitchen sets for a small kitchen.

L-type

The most simple to perform version, when both parts of the headset are located along adjacent walls. Such an angular layout allows you to occupy less valuable space compared to others, differing in particular convenience. As a result, one of the corners of the kitchen is occupied, the rest remain free for large household appliances or a dining area.

If part of the headset is not cluttered with upper shelves, then there will be a place for the TV

If you choose this form, it is more convenient to place the sink in the very corner, and the stove with a refrigerator at an equal distance from it. This is the so-called work triangle, when everything is near and there is no need to constantly move from corner to corner during cooking. If there is no room for a refrigerator, it can be put in the far corner. How it will look L-shaped corner set in a small kitchen can be viewed in the photo below.

L-shaped headset is very functional and fits perfectly into the interior of a small kitchen.

U-type

Another option, how to put a kitchen set in a small kitchen, is a U-shaped layout, when two corners and three walls are occupied. This arrangement is quite convenient, the result is several working surfaces. They are convenient to cook or use as a dining area. In this case, along one of the walls, as a continuation of the headset, you can place a compact stand or a transforming table.

For the U-shaped kitchen, it is better to choose light shades of facades

It should be borne in mind that with this layout there is not enough space in the center of the room. The distance between drawers, tables and shelves located along parallel walls should be at least 80 cm. If it is not possible to provide enough free space, such planning in a small kitchen should be abandoned. Too narrow aisle will interfere with the opening of drawers and doors. In the photo below you can see several options for placing an angular kitchen set in a small kitchen designed according to the U-shaped principle.

As an additional table top with storage space, you can use a sill

Design features

If cabinets, shelves and countertops, traditionally located along the walls, do not cause problems, there are some difficulties with corner models. Although they are much more spacious, in contrast to the standard options, it is not convenient to reach all the shelves in the wall cabinet due to excessive depth. To solve this problem, several methods were invented to make storage systems more comfortable to use:

• Pop-out shelves are a godsend for the design of a kitchen set in a small kitchen. They are distinguished by a wide choice of models, and also have several of the most popular forms - drop-shaped, semicircular, or peanut-like outlines. These shelves are convenient, they are often embedded in corner cabinets or models with beveled corners.
• Locomotives combine several shelves at once, when opening the door stretching one after another. This is a convenient roomy option for headsets with right angles.
• If the corners of the bollard are beveled, you should choose models with carousels. However, such a design can easily be placed in classic square cabinets or bedside tables.

Non-standard shelves above the table top and roundabout shelves in the corner make the headset more functional to use

Also added convenience is the internal hooks on the doors, nets, fabric bags, cup holders, etc.

Very practical in the kitchen are railing systems

How to place a corner sink

This is one of the most common options. The parameters of the sink are usually selected under the dimensions of the dishes, especially pots and pans. If necessary, you can choose a model consisting of separate compartments, one of which is designed for washing glasses and small plates.

If the sink is very large or high, it is not always convenient to reach for the faucet. For convenience, there are options with the location of the mixer on the side or in the center. It is practical and convenient to use for small corner kitchen sets, as well as for more bulky ones.

Important! You can save space by mounting the sink with additions in the form of a storage system for boards or other useful household trifles.

To save space, you can place the sink at the window

In order to keep your back tired while washing dishes, the sink should be positioned so that there is no need to bend down. During operation, the torso should be straight, in this position the muscles will be less tired. Therefore, there should be free access to the sink, this also applies to the pedestal under it or the wall cabinet. It is convenient to store dishes, detergents, gloves, sponges, etc. in them. You can look at the options for a small kitchen set with a corner sink in the photo below.

The location of the plate in the corner

Cookers with ovens take up a lot of space, but a compact hob can be easily installed in the corner of a kitchen unit. The surface can be both electric and gas. If the area allows, you can choose a roomy panel on 5 rings, but the model with 3 rings will be more compact. Large plates can be placed on the U-shaped working surface.

The gas stove can be placed in the corner of the kitchen unit for greater functionality.

Important! Wherever the stove is located, there should be no more than 80 cm from the sink and the refrigerator.

The choice of colors kitchen furniture

In a limited space, you should not use dark and bright colors. It is better to choose two or three light shades as a base. Darker tones can be used for finishing recesses and niches, they will visually look deeper. The main thing is not to overdo it with bright or dark inserts.

Very impressive in the interior of the white kitchen looks a glossy apron and countertop, rich purple hue

For facing apron, you can choose ceramic tiles or glass panels. The surface can be both monophonic, and decorated with various patterns. It is important to choose small ornaments or drawings that are not very prominent on the main background. Too contrast or large images will visually make the kitchen even smaller. Stylish look inserts of mosaic or brickwork with a smooth surface. Glossy facades and light walls visually expand the space. The color options for different models of kitchen sets in a small kitchen can be seen on the selection of photos below.

Facades
