Facades with glass inserts, under the color of the walls or above the bar - collected these and other ideas in the article for registration of an additional row of kitchen cabinets.
The mezzanines call kitchen headsets, where there are even additional row to the ceiling above the top cabinets.
Advantages in such a kitchen there is a lot, first of all it is the rational use of space, which is especially relevant for small premises. In the second row of the upper cabinets, you can remove utensils that are rarely used. In addition, cabinets to the ceiling visually increase its height. Also, it is also easier to hide communication (for example, a corrugated pipe from an exhaust). Consider a closer look at the design of such antleesoles.
1 with an enlarged depth
The depth of the antlesol cabinets can be different: along the lower mounted row (approximately 30-40 cm) or by the width of the table top and the kitchen column (usually from 60 cm).
In the mezzanine, 60 cm depth can be placed more things, and such a kitchen set looks more interesting than the standard - the volume under the ceiling attracts attention. But when planning it is important to consider the location of the ceiling lights. Built-in point lamps should not be overlapped with cabinets, mounted or tracks - interfere with the opening of the door.
2 with glass inserts
Facades do not have to be "deaf" or strictly in a minimalist style. For kitchens in aesthetics Provence or classic you can choose glass inserts. It will give the headset lightness, he will look less cumbersome. For more comfort and as an additional scenario of light, you can make an internal backlight.
3 as an independent element
Sometimes it is more expedient to abandon the lower row of mounted cabinets. For example, as in the kitchen in the photo, where only the horizontal upper module over the stove left. In this project, the mezzanine, most likely, also closes the pipe from the hood.
To make the kitchen look more complete and laconic, it is worth providing the front panel under the mezzanine - it will hide the joints between the sections.
4 with facades under the color of the walls
If you make the antlesol cabinets under the color of the walls, they visually dissolve in the interior. This is especially relevant for the combined kitchen-living room, where the emphasis is directed to the recreation area. Or for a small kitchen, where you do not want to crush the space color and shapes. So that the headsets do not look boring, you can make a contrast apron and lower row of upper cabinets.
At the same time, for a shallow kitchen mezzanine, it is better to choose the same texture and color as a number of cabinets under it.
5 above the bar
Speaking of mezzanine, we usually imagine furniture located along the wall. But the additional row of cabinets can be made separately from the headset, for example, above the bar counter. In this case, they will join the wall only the sidewall. Cabinets should be design like showcases, with glazing on both sides to exhibit beautiful glasses and dishes.
The possibilities of modern furniture manufacturers are almost endless. But when designing the mezzanine in the kitchen, it is necessary to focus primarily on the overall style of the room and the volume of things that you plan to store there.
