How to choose the right furniture for the kitchen

Currently, furniture manufacturers provide an unusually wide range of furniture, which literally looks wide. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to decide what kind of kitchen you need and how it should look like, i.e. what goals are being pursued.

First, let's decide what furniture is needed in the kitchen

It may sound strange, but the goals can be completely different for everyone. For example, if furniture is necessary just for beauty and the hostess is not an ardent lover of cooking, then in this case it is quite enough to apply the option of "minimalism", namely, the minimum number of different cabinets, all that’s the most basic and necessary.

If the hostess of the kitchen is a business woman, trying to spend as little time as possible behind the stove, in this case you need to "save" literally every step and place household appliances carefully and thoughtfully.

If a kitchen studio is preferred (meaning a combined version, usually with a bar), such a design will significantly increase the kitchen by at least one and a half times, and also turn the house into a very fashionable and modern house, as it usually looks in European or American apartments. However, this option implies mandatory zoning of the room (division into different sections, depending on the purpose: for rest and for cooking). Most often, the border of these sites is a one- or two-level bar counter that separates the kitchen from the hall. Regarding household appliances, it will not be superfluous to place additional appliances in the kitchen, for example, a washing machine, and you also need to decide which appliances you like: built-in or the most ordinary.

If the owners are inclined to warm family and friendly conversations in the kitchen, then the kitchen-dining room option is best suited, the design of which is also based on the separation of the work and dining areas using the same bar counter, as well as a kitchen set or other design techniques.

Now you need to determine the color of the furniture

  • Optimistic yellow

    Intense color that symbolizes the sun, freedom and an invigorating mood. It is often used in a place where you need to temporarily focus

  • Life green

    It has long been believed that green is the color of life, nature and spring. It is able to help with negative psychological differences, improve well-being and mood. At the same time, it can both stimulate action and relax.

  • Reliable brown

    This color symbolizes loyalty, hard work and common sense. An incorrect shade can cause fear or boredom, frustration or depression.

  • Stimulating red

    Initially, red is considered the color of a warrior. It fills with energy and desire for action and life. But here it is important not to use it in large quantities, otherwise you can achieve the opposite effect. After all, the flip side of red is rage, aggression and anger

  • Calm light

    White is the color of serenity, spirituality and tranquility. This color will fit perfectly into any interior, because it is considered universal. Moreover, it is able to enhance the intensity of any other color. But here it is important to remember that pure white color “hurts the eye”, so it is better to use it either in combination or choose the right shade

  • Sky blue

    Blue is always associated with sky, relaxation, ice, calm and serenity. He is able to both calm and induce action. It all depends on the correct shade selection.

In order to correctly approach this issue, it is best to make repairs in the room before changing the kitchen furniture. But first of all, you should imagine the color scheme of the whole room as a whole, as you want to see it, in plain colors or in a combined version. An experienced designer will help you best. But you can save money and cope with this task yourself by contacting the Internet for help. The only rule that must be observed is that all objects must be in harmony with each other, starting from the walls (color and texture of wallpaper), tiles in the working area, the color of the laminate and ending with the shade of the planned curtain or blinds.
And of course, you cannot do without choosing the style in which the kitchen furniture will be made.

A variety of styles of kitchen furniture

Classic - never aging and never out of style. Implies wooden furniture as close as possible to natural. The classics are ideal if the house has large windows and high ceilings - the kitchen always looks solid and at the same time calm.

Art Nouveau is a fairly popular style, where the main advantage is convenience: built-in appliances, the complete absence of unnecessary things, because everything is thought out down to the smallest detail. The Art Nouveau kitchen is usually made in bright colors (bright excluded) and looks calm, not flashy.

Modern

Country - no less popular style, reminiscent of the "rural". As in the classics, everything here is also natural: wicker furniture, wooden facades, flowers in clay pots, all appliances are hidden. The kitchen looks very cozy, convenient and simple by definition.

Some more useful tips

  1. A very important role in the design of the kitchen is played by countertops, where it is recommended to give preference to a moisture-resistant coating. After all, the life of the selected furniture directly depends on this;
  2. It is also very important that the hinges and guides of the drawers function normally, without jamming or warping;
  3. Choosing furniture for the kitchen, you need to focus not only on the external attractiveness, but also on the quality of the material from which it is made.

And finally

Regardless of the size of the kitchen, you can always find the best individual solution in the selection of a set of furniture, given all the necessary nuances at the design stage, and not when the furniture comes to the salon. And one more important point that should be taken into account: the more extravagant it is to choose the color scheme and the form of furniture, the faster it will start to bother, and it will simply go out of fashion, unless, of course, there is a desire to change it every year.
