Kitchen remodelling - variants of a lay-out of kitchen

Carefully thought over lay-out is necessary for the kitchen device. The comfort and high functionality when each subject of a kitchen interior and it's remodelling  is not simply convenient should become an overall objective, and is optimum from the point of view of requirements of the person. All internal space should be created under laws of economy of space. The kitchen shares on three zones - the worker, a dining room and a pass zone.

Working zone - kitchen heart; here places for storage of products, tables for разделывания and cookings are located. According to opinion of experts, the refrigerator, a bowl and a plate should adjoin not with each other, and to finishing tables. Thus they образовывают a so-called working triangle: storage - разделывание - cooking. The comfortable area of a working triangle should not exceed 7 sq. m, differently it is necessary difficultly, running from a plate to a bowl and a refrigerator. There should not be it and less than 4 sq. m is will create narrowness.

But it is not necessary to forget and about the internal maintenance. For example, the large-sized ware is more convenient for placing in deep boxes under a plate, and the products occupying great volume, under finishing tables. Installation of double sockets over each working surface will essentially facilitate a life for while in one place the teapot begins to boil and toasts prepare, nearby it is possible to grind coffee or to shake up eggs for an omelette. The bowl and the dishwasher is better for establishing near to a waterpipe that preventive works did not become burdensome. Look narrowly at a double (threefold) bowl - at an abundance of ware and tablewares they it is the most convenient. Illumination should be and directed along hinged cases on the bottom panel, and background.

It is necessary to pay attention, whether not too it is a lot of in a variant of the project of homogeneous materials and long parallel lines? Perhaps, it is necessary to recover severity of appearance, having provided angular shelves, разноуровневые open racks or simply one-two opened rack. And, at last, about angular cases. Rotating, they are convenient, economic in respect of an expense of efforts on доставание this or that subject.

The kitchen in one line is calculated on 1 or 2 persons, established under conditions of very limited space, the working zone at it makes half of all area, therefore, if you have decided to combine it with a dining room, establish a sliding or folding dining table, differently a pass zone will be minimum and, of course, the extremely inconvenient.

Also this lay-out can be used in a multi-purpose room "kitchen - a living room", in this case all kitchen furniture will settle down in one part of a room, another will be used for food intake and rest.

The kitchen in two lines - is simple and compact in a lay-out. Rational placing - a plate and a bowl on one party, a refrigerator and cases on another. The optimum distance between opposite lines makes not less than 1,2 metres. This lay-out too assumes presence of mobile tables or, actually, the table.

L-lay-out is exclusive for creation of a convenient working triangle, furniture and technics in this case are placed along two adjacent walls. The dining table easily takes places without damage to a pass zone. This variant approaches almost for all premises, except the narrow.

P-lay-out the best of everything, is convenient and safe, as furniture and technics are established along three walls. Here there is no through movement. If at such lay-out the pass zone makes the little less than half of working zone it allows to use kitchen as a dining room. For a big kitchen or a kitchen-dining room the combined scheme will approach: an angular working zone plus, throughout a line, perpendicularly put a dining table. In kitchen-dining rooms the short perpendicular line of a table divides the worker and table zones, and at correctly picked up length of a table harmony of conformity of a working zone and a dining room with a pass zone is not broken. It is possible to use the P-lay-out and in small kitchen (5-8 sq. m.) then the distance between end faces should be not less than 1,5-2 metres.

Lay-out "peninsula" and "island" suit only big kitchens (from 16 sq. m.). The Kitchen-island includes angular or P-shaped models with an additional working surface in the middle. "Island" looks elegantly, but demands especially a well thought-out plan to avoid unnecessary transitions.

There are the certain problems connected with re-modelling of kitchen. In such apartments the kitchen has the minimum sizes. There are some decisions of a problem.

The first. It is possible to get rid of a door or to make its moving. It is good to clean one of walls, (or its part) to unite two small premises and to transform them into the uniform functional area. At a modern level of development of building not so it is difficult even to make a good dining room-kitchen in "five-storey apartment block". This variant is expensive enough, but also is most convenient. Though it is possible to be limited to carefully thought over lay-out. For kitchen in "five-storey apartment block" kinds of lay-out will approach as angular, and in one line. In an angular variant most simple - to get a folding table or to build at an unoccupied working zone of a wall of a rack of type bar, with a leaning back table surface. In angular designs do not forget about versions of mobile shelves. But it is possible to be limited and open racks. For kitchens in one line and техничным the decision narrow and high racks on an opposite wall will be good, and the small little table can be placed with a window.

Lay-out problems are and at big kitchens where atmosphere of uniform space is extremely difficultly created. The space is frequently split up for small zones and creates sensation of discomfort. The "kitchen-island" lay-out in this case is recommended. In the area centre there can be a plate, a rack for a breakfast and a bowl. The optimum sizes for island - 1200 on 1200 mm, minimum 600 on 900 mm. "Island" can be not only the square form, but also bent.
