Choose a kitchen set: 5 important points that should be taken into account

1 Kitchen measurement

Properly made kitchen measurements are the basis, without which it is impossible to choose a kitchen set correctly. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, try to hire a professional task for this task. You can also contact the manufacturers of kitchens that often offer this service for free. And if you have the opportunity to compare several measurements made by different people, you can be absolutely confident in the correctness of the data.

If there is no possibility to invite the measurer, try to measure yourself.

What will be required for independent measurements

millimeter paper sheets (you can buy in the stationery store or print on the printer);
Roulette or laser meter;
Simple pencil or chalk for checkpoints;
The stepladder (as the width of the walls, for example, is better to measure at the base, in the middle and at the ceiling);
camera.

Start measurements from the largest moments: the size of the walls, the height of the ceiling, the doorway and windows. Gradually, put them on a millimeter. Then proceed to the central heating battery, plum, ventilation box, gas pipe or socket for the stove. In the end, put the switches, sockets, windowsill protrusions and other small parts. If you already have a technique and you do not plan to change it, the devices are also very important to measure to adjust the kitchen set under them.

Dimensions all write in millimeters and try to make the error in more than 10 millimeters. As a result, you should get the most detailed kitchen plan. If you make it for the first time, spend time a few days to create it from scratch two or three times. As a rule, there are missed moments or errors in measurements. In the end, take a picture of the kitchen and small details to show consultants in stores, if you need.

2 Choice of layout

At this stage, you choose the planning of the kitchen headset as a whole. Now it is not the most principled details, but it is important to understand how it will stand.

There is a work triangle rule. Today it does not play such a serious role, as new household appliances have appeared and often the size of the area does not allow to enter a perfect anger-free triangle into the workspace. But keeping it in my head still stands to make work in the kitchen a little more comfortable.

There are several types of layouts that allow you to achieve a working triangle:

linear;
P-shaped;
double-row;
M-shaped;
with island or peninsula.

At the same stage, you can plan some parameters of the headset:

The working surface must be approximately 15-20 cm below your elbow.
The bottom of the upper cabinets should be 10-15 cm below your shoulder.

Of course, make an individual headset for your parameters - an expensive solution. But you can plan the height of the fastening of lockers or add the heights of the work surface due to the volumetric table top.

3 Selection of style and color

Catalogs of kitchen manufacturers are usually divided into two types of heads:

classical;
Modern (so-called modern models).

For the first characteristic decorations, a matte surface under a tree, suitable handles. If your apartment is to classic or some historical style, you will suit this option.

The second is often performed with a matte or glossy surface, with a wider color palette, in strict lines and without special decorations. For modern destinations - minimalism, pop art or Scandinavian style will suit the modern kitchen.

Any headsets can also be modified a little. For example, if you are a fan of minimalism, look for pushboxes opening mechanisms or hidden handles for boxes.

To choose the color of the kitchen headset, decide whether it can become an accent solution or better to make it neutral. If the room is small in the area, there is not enough daylight in it or the whole interior of the house is quite calm, it is better to limit ourselves to the solution in neutral colors. The bright headset, in turn, will make a room more interesting and less, but choose not cutting eyes.

4 Selection of material

The most common and affordable materials are chipboard and MDF. The chipboard is spoiled under the influence of temperature and moisture, toxic, if not covered by the entire protective layer and is inferior by the strength of MDF. MDF is a little more expensive, but not toxic and more durable.

More expensive option - an array of wood. It can be saved a little if ordering the kitchen from local producers. The tree is easy to scratch, it means a tabletop is better to pick up from another material.

5 Selection of fittings and accessories

After the main points have been solved by the little things:

Select cabinet doors;
Choose handles;
Select filling.

Retractable boxes stand just more precious than swing, but this is the most practical option for the lower level of the headset. On the upper doors you can save a little by choosing the usual swollen instead of loops with the closer.

Do not forget to plan the filling so that in the boxes there is always order. Pay attention to the holders for stacks of plates, separators for trifles and cutlery.
