Big kitchen - room for imagination

The owners of a spacious kitchen from 16 square. meters can afford a fairly massive model: a beautiful folding sofa made of leather or textured fabric. Some problem may arise with the placement of the bar: these two elements must relate to different zones, they should be placed far a

part from each other.

Luxuriously it will look like a leather sofa in a large kitchen of 16 square meters. m to 18 square meters. m. Place it in a rest area, and with a reasonable zoning of the room, it will not distract all attention to itself, remaining the center of its own zone only.

For a large kitchen is an actual variant of designer furniture - so you will emphasize the unusual design and its great taste.

Can I put a sofa in a small or medium kitchen?

Small sofas will fit perfectly even in a small room and ideally complement the interior. Here it is necessary to understand that in a small or medium kitchen it is unlikely that retractable or transforming sofas will fit: for them there simply is no place. It's a simple couch-bench.

However, on such an area the sofa should not stand out much, its main role is to fit well into the interior. Leather models are not recommended. Massive, bright sofas will also attract too much attention and occupy a useful space. If you have a kitchen 10 sq.m. m or 11 square meters. m, pay attention to a mini-sofa of neutral color, for example, gray.

On the area from 11 square. m to 12 square meters. m you can put a sofa-couch - an easier, elegant option. It is easier to move, change the layout, and if necessary, it can play the role of a berth. In general, the sofa-couch looks not so heavy and gives the interior elegance. In the kitchen 12 sq. M. m of space a little more, here you can consider the option of a classic soft sofa of a small size.

If the narrow kitchen is rectangular, then there are fewer options, but in this case you can also choose a mini-sofa and place it along the long wall of the room. Here much will depend on the art of the designer. But with such a meter about the bar, you should not think. Choose one thing: either a sofa or a small bar counter.

In any case, the following rules are relevant for a medium-sized kitchen:

marginal functionality;

use of the principle of zoning;

conformity to the general color scheme.

Option for a one-room apartment
