How to place a sofa in the kitchen

If the room is small (less than 12 sq. m), then it is better to look for another room. Before choosing, you need to first select a place for it. When in the kitchen, the sofa should not block the passages and kitchen equipment. There are two placement options: in a corner or along a wall or window.

Placing a sofa in the kitchen

By correctly placing such furniture in the kitchen, you can save square meters. After all, if you place the sofa incorrectly, the kitchen will seem much smaller than it actually is.

In the corner

Corner sofas are a surface consisting mainly of polyurethane foam.

Important! Preference should be given to surfaces made of genuine leather - it is easier to care for. An alternative could be artificial leather or arpatek.

The surface is located on a frame consisting mainly of wood or chipboard. Typically, inside such sofas there are drawers for kitchen utensils. The color should be chosen neutral, light for small kitchens, so that it does not catch the eye. But for larger rooms, you can choose brighter colors, such as blue or yellow.

The sofa replaces chairs and stools, so it should be placed near the table. It is also worth considering that there should be enough free space between the furniture and the table to make it comfortable to sit. This type of arrangement has the advantage of saving space due to the corner location.However, there will be a disadvantage for guests who are assigned a sleeping place in the kitchen: the furniture will have to be laid out and the table removed.

Along the wall

This option is suitable for those who want to recreate a cozy atmosphere. In this case, an ordinary sofa is located at the table, replacing chairs and stools. You should also remember the necessary space between the table and the furniture. The item should not block passages or access to kitchen utensils. This will also serve as an excellent place to sleep (for one person), which does not require additional manipulations.

There is another accommodation option. For example, if the room is square, then the furniture can be placed near a free wall, regardless of the location of the table, and it will perfectly serve as a place to sit down or lie down and relax, reading, for example, a book. If the kitchen is rectangular, then the furniture can be placed near a narrower wall, which will also serve as a place to relax. For spacious kitchens, the option to place it in the middle of the room is suitable.

Important! You need to take care of the hood if the sofa surface consists of fabric to prevent the absorption of odors.

Placement depending on the shape of the sofa

Upholstered furniture is most suitable for modern kitchen spaces. For a classic interior, a rectangular sofa would be an excellent option. Upholstered furniture with fabric or vinyl covering will fit well into the youth style. Small wicker sofas are suitable for ethnic-style kitchen spaces. Kitchens of the “urban interior” will be well complemented by bright sofas with armrests, legs and a rounded back panel.
