Selection parameters
1. folding or not
If the sofa becomes part of the dining room, does not fit the unfavorable, quite a rigid model. It will be convenient to sit on it. In small apartments, you need a sofa into a kitchen with a sleeping place for guests, because this is the only place where you can post them. In this case, the folding models are chosen. Practical layout mechanisms - French, Dolphin and Click-Klyak. The folding sofa must be medium hardness for comfortable sleep and seating.
2. Height
Before choosing a sofa to the kitchen, refer to the height of the chairs of the dining group. Why it is important, it is easy to understand, remembering how it is actually inconvenient to arrange family dinners in the living room. If you put the kitchen chair next to the soft group, the seats will be at different levels. Chairs are always higher. But the depth of the seats they are usually less.
Now to numbers. The average distance from the floor to the dining table table top - 72-78 cm. In this case, it should be 40-45 cm from the floor to the seating. Then it will be possible to put legs at right angles and get the elbows to the table.
If the seat is mild, it will see the weight of a person. Buying such a model, deduct 5-7 cm from its height to have a "stock".
Size 3
In order for the furniture composition to look harmoniously, Sofa must correspond to the rest of the largest objects in the kitchen. Choose it in the width of the dining table, the edges should not be the protrusion more than 15-20 cm. Also consider the scale of the kitchen headset. If the cabinets occupy most of the room, the upholstered furniture is better to take smaller, so as not to overload the space visually. An important role is played by the area of the room and its geometry. In the extended space, the furniture should be long. In a small - miniature, two seats.
4. Upholstery and filler
The upholstery material must be wear-resistant and not absorbing moisture and smells. Ecocked, flock (durable synthetic material resembling suede), Shenille and jacquard. If you prefer natural materials, pick up a removable tight cotton cover. Then it will be easy to wash it in a washing machine.
Many manufacturers offer a special anti-vandal coating: it is steadily for pollution and abrasion, and also suits people with allergies. It is important to pay attention to the filler. It should not be too tough or completely soft. Suitable polyurethane foam. It is inexpensive, enough elastic, elastic and environmentally friendly. Filler from natural latex is more expensive, but will serve for many years. It has high elasticity, quickly restores the form, hypoallergen. But it is better to refuse to refuse the syntheps - it is finished, dents appear, which are difficult to get rid of.
5. Style and shape
Upholstered furniture ascetic and strict shapes will fit into the interior of the modern direction: Scandinavian, minimalism, ecosil, even loft. The model on the curved legs and with elegant armrests is suitable for the kitchen in a classic style. But since the kitchen, no matter how cool, the rigid environment, the furniture should be easy to care for. Many recesses and curved forms complicate cleaning.
The model with armrests is better chosen under the oval or round table. It is more convenient to sit down, without hitting angles and armrest.
The choice, an angular kitchen sofa or direct depends on the area of the room. Most often choose a direct model, it is easier to enter into space, make the zoning element.
6. Color
If saturated colors are used in the interior, select the upholstery in light neutral tones or in a shade close to the walls and kitchen headset. Such an upholstery will not be an independent accent. In a neutral light room, on the contrary, you can make uphill furniture accent. For example, in a white interior it will be interesting to look any bright and rich color. In the gray space, orange or yellow fabric will add heat.

How best to put a sofa in the kitchen
How to place a sofa in the kitchen depends on its purpose. If the dining table performs the function of the worker, put a soft furniture back to the window. Then there will be more sunlight on the table. But it is important to consider the nuance with the battery. Upholstery can crack from overheating, and warm air will not circulate normal through the room. You need to leave a gap. If the area of the room does not allow it to do, you can choose a radiator narrow elongated form. It is placed vertically on the side of the window.
