What is a kitchen set

When arranging his home and planning the future interior of the rooms, a person dreams that it will be fashionable and stylish. But at the same time, he also wants the environment to be easy to use and comfortable. The ideal solution to this problem would be to purchase a set of ready-made furniture. This rule especially applies to the kitchen area.

What is a kitchen set and what elements are included in it?

The kitchen is women's territory. The owner spends a lot of her time in this room. Deciding on the necessary set of furniture for this room is not an easy task. It was to simplify the choice that kitchen sets were invented. Made in a single style, they fit organically into the interior and are particularly convenient and comfortable.

The standard set usually includes:

1. Floor elements: tables, cabinets for kitchen equipment and sinks, cabinets. One set may include either single versions of these items or several pieces each. This group is different in that it is placed on the floor in one line (mainly along the walls).
2. Hanging elements: cabinets, pencil cases, shelves. They are fixed in a single line on the wall.
3. Free-standing elements: table, chairs, sofa. The location of these items is not tied to other details.

IMPORTANT! The configuration of a particular set is mainly influenced by the size of the room. The larger the area, the more furniture you will need.

Any set of kitchen furniture must include: a table, a sink, a wall cabinet, and a drying cabinet for dishes.

Types of kitchen sets

There are several characteristics according to which kitchen furniture is divided into types:

1. In terms of style and design: it can be one-piece or combined. One-piece is when several objects are combined by a common tabletop: table, sink, cabinet. The combined option is a set of different items made in the same style. The last type is good because you can acquire it gradually: first a table, then a sink, and so on.
2. By size: standard and non-standard. The standard version is purchased as a ready-made kit. The furniture in it has certain dimensions. In this case, you do not waste time on manufacturing. The non-standard type involves the production of a set to order. This method allows you to get a set of individual design and create a non-standard interior of the room.

It is worth mentioning that making a custom set will cost more.

How to arrange the elements of the headset

Another point that should be taken into account when planning a purchase is the proper arrangement of furniture in the kitchen. According to the location methods, the following options are distinguished:

1. Placement in one line. With this method, objects are placed along one blank wall.
2. In two lines - along two blank walls located opposite each other.
3. Corner: objects are placed at an angle along two walls.
4. In the form of the letter "P". This location option is used if there is sufficient space.Moreover, the furniture can be placed either along the walls or on one side serve as a kind of partition separating the work area from the dining area.
5. The island option implies a partial arrangement of elements in the center of the kitchen. Like the previous one, it requires sufficient area. Therefore, it is not suitable for small spaces.

REFERENCE! When arranging kitchen furniture, follow the so-called triangle rule, placing it so that the refrigerator, sink and stove are located at the tops of the visual triangle.

What is kitchen furniture made of: materials and decor

The specificity of the kitchen is that there is always high humidity. In addition, this room requires frequent cleaning. Therefore, when purchasing furniture, it is important to pay attention to the base material. There are several types:

1. Chipboard. This is the most budget option. This furniture must be used carefully, as if the protective layer is damaged, the furniture will quickly become unusable.
2. A more reliable option would be a set made of MDF. This is the best combination of price and quality.
3. Natural wood. An expensive option, but the most reliable. Wooden furniture has a solid appearance and can reliably serve for a long time.

The surface of the façade also differs. It can be smooth or decorated with decorative elements: glass inserts, spraying, patterns or other details. For natural wood, for example, skillful carving and varnish are often used. Recently, decorating facades using photo printing has become fashionable.

And whatever option you choose, remember that the style and beauty of the room depends on the harmonious combination of interior elements, appliances, wall and ceiling decoration.
