Standard-sized apartments do not always allow to place in it all the zones necessary for a comfortable pastime. For example, the dining area. You have to be content with only a small-sized kitchen, used not only for cooking, but also for eating.
But at 6 kitchen meters, there are already too many headsets and appliances. How can you place a table, chairs, the whole family and guests there ?!
"Compact dining room" for a small kitchen
If you skillfully use the kitchen space, then it can accommodate everything you need not only for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also for receiving guests and relaxing. And in order to recreate such a functional kitchen in a small apartment, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Small furniture.A compact table and small stools will help organize a "dining room" area in the kitchen, even for a family of 4 people. You should choose only light furniture models, made without unnecessary details in the design.
- Transforming table. For a small kitchen, the best choice would be to purchase a table - a transformer that allows you to use it folded in the cooking process, and unfolded when sharing dinners with your family or receiving guests. The transforming table, depending on its design, can be used not only in the kitchen space, but also in the living room.
- Corner sofa. Even if the chairs that come with the kitchen table have a compact appearance and elegant design, they still cannot accommodate more than 4 people at the table. A cozy corner sofa that can accommodate a given number of guests on just two sides of the table will help to cope with this perfectly! Combining a corner sofa with a pair of transforming chairs will help place about 6 guests or household members at the table!
- Folding table - shelf. If only 1 or 2 people live in a small apartment, then instead of a standard kitchen table, you can purchase a folding table - a shelf attached to a vertical surface. It will allow you to completely free the center of the kitchen when necessary, and at the same time enjoy food during breakfast or dinner.
Design nuances
Small kitchens can allow you to correctly use the entire space, but for this it is important to use not only a specific furniture set, but also generally adhere to the following interior solutions:
- when decorating the kitchen, use only light colors;
- choose furniture of round or oval shape;
- minimize the use of bulky parts, including in the design of the table;
- materials such as glass and metal should be preferred over wood.
These nuances are simple and insignificant, but it is they that allow you to use the kitchen space at 100 percent, without resorting to a full-fledged building redevelopment of the entire apartment.
