1 porcelain stoneware on the floor
For the kitchen it is better to choose a durable coating. Or combine - next to the working area (headroom, sink, stove) lay a porcelain stoneware, and then - parquet or laminate, depends on what you use in other frequent apartments. The kitchen is an aggressive environment. There may be splashes of fat, water. Wash porcelain stoneware, you can use hard tools. What you can not say about a natural tree or laminate.
2 durable material on apron
The wall above the working surface is also subject to loads: from a pair of boiling pan or kettle, from splashes from the sink during the washing of dishes and from the stove during cooking. Therefore, the apron is better made from a durable and unpretentious material.
And not necessarily tiles or wall-mounted porcelain stoneware. Also use tempered glass. And you can also choose a steady washing paint - save and use the usual still does not stand. The surface will quickly lose a beautiful appearance.
3 Dishwasher
It seems to be already well known pluses of the dishwasher. But when the budget is very limited, they refuse it. Especially if the apartment is planning to live one or two people. Usually, in this case, the opinion is guided: the dishes will still be a bit, you can wash your hands. But in fact, they regret it. After all, if people prepare at home, a lot of dishes are accumulated in the cooking process. And the dishwasher accounted for very by the way.
If in the process of arrangement of the kitchen on the technique, it is not possible to highlight the tools, leave at least a place for it with a socket and the possibility of connecting to communications. It is better to buy a dishwasher then than to wait for the next global repair.
4 Additional outlets on the table top
When designing the interior of the entire apartment should not save on electric and outlets. But in the kitchen, sometimes forgotten that in addition to mandatory large household appliances - oven, cooking surface, refrigerator and hood - there is a need for fine. And it can be purchased after repair. The same coffee machine or toaster. Multicooker or meat grinder. Replace the punch kettle on the electric. If there is little sockets above the tabletop, you will have to choose that connecting simultaneously during the cooking process - the same kettle or meat grinder. It is better to make sockets with a margin.
5 mixer
The mixers do not recommend save designers. And this is justified - the quality of the plumbing determines the overall quality of repair.
It is not necessary to choose a premium mixer with a flexible hose if you don't need such a functionality. But contact a reliable manufacturer who gives a guarantee on its product, worth it.
6 Working surface lighting
Scenarios of light in the kitchen are as important as in the living room or bedroom. They not only create comfort (after all, it will be much more comfortable to dinner with the family under the light of the hanging lamp above the table), but also provide convenience. It is about convenience that it is worth thinking, thinking through the illumination of the working surface. It can be done under the top of the cabinets. Or mount suspended, wall lamps, attaching scarves to the shelves on the wall, if you do not have the top row of modules.
