The desire to equip an apartment technique to the maximum can play a keen joke with the owners. After all, in addition to technology, you will need some minimal space for work. Working surfaces must necessarily be near the cooking panel and kitchen sink.
In addition, there should be free space near the oven cabinet, refrigerator and washing machine. After all, the process of opening the door, loading and unloading products or linen, if we are talking about a washing machine, - all this requires the place and on the floor. In this regard, it is very important to correctly arrange the technique to make one common space on the floor for several instruments. This can be achieved, for example, placing several devices "in the column".
Small-sized dishwashers

Problems with the placement of dishwashers arise, probably most often. And many refuse this type of technology due to problems with the area. But the solution exists, and not even one, and two. The first is to use the desktop dishwasher, it approximately corresponds to the microwave oven. The second solution offers Candy. Their TRIO 9503 model is a combination of approximately three devices - a cooking panel, a brass cabinet and dishwasher. And all this is placed in a 60 cm wide module.
Wall washing machines

Not enough space for washing machine? Nothing terrible, because there are models for which the presence of a free place on the floor does not matter at all. This is a DWD-CV701PC washing machine (Daewoo) designed for wall mounting. It can be placed in any convenient wall of the wall, because its width is 29 cm, and the weight is 16.5 kg. At the same time, the maximum capacity is 3 kg of linen.
Multifunctional technique - appliances equipped at once with several useful and at the same time heterogeneous functions, help save space, while at the same time increasing the utility and ergonomics of small rooms. No less relevant and compact household appliances. The fact is that the last few years in the primary market, in new buildings, is prevailing a small-sized housing with niche or included in residential space kitchens. And during the arrangement of me and my colleagues in the workshop, there is always no completely ordinary embedded technique, say brass cabinets combined with dishwashers, refrigerators lowering the kitchen countertops, equipped with roll-out drawers, telescopic recycling hoods that are pulled out of the working surface.

Healthy food again in the trend! People prefer to prepare not only delicious, but also useful food. Hence the sharp increase in the popularity of the steamer. But traditional panarishers-pots do not provide proper multifunctionality.
Many homeowners want to acquire precisely by the steamer, and there is no place to embed it. The decision offers Panasonic - the world's first portable steam convection furnace NU-SC101. The novelty combines the last Japanese technologies for proper nutrition can easily be replaced by a double boiler, microwave, oven, fryer, yogurt, and many other kitchen appliances.
Embedded cooking panel

The standard four-meter boiler takes approximately 60 cm of table top width, and how often do you use all four burners? If not, then maybe it makes sense to use a single or two-door built-in module? They are often called "Domino". This module is arranged just like a full-fledged cooking panel, and he has the same functionality. Only in width it is much less - about 30 cm
Built-in exhaust

The space above the cooking surface does not allow to place an exhaust? In such a situation, the extractor will help, embedded in the worktop. If it is connected to the tabletop, it turns out a smooth surface. Another option is a cooking surface with an already built-in hood, such models are in the assortment of Elica and Gaggenau.
Built-in tabletop refrigerator

If there is a little free space in the kitchen, the refrigerator can be placed under the working table. Such models have Bosch, Liebherr, Miele. Their capacity, of course, is inferior to full-size, but it can still be more than 100 liters. For example, the Bosch Kul15A50Ru refrigerator is built under the tabletop has a useful amount of 125 liters.

Why not take advantage of the ... portable electric stove? Only, of course, not the one that lives his age in the garage or at the dacha on "every case". There are modern options for these devices, and they are in their economy, convenience and design are little inferior to the built-in glass-ceramic. There are induction electric shields. The cost of such models is several thousand rubles, and the equivalent heating area of one or two burners.
