Types of layout 

Before choosing furniture and stuff for the kitchen, it is important to decide on the layout.

For 12 squares, 6 successful layouts can be distinguished.

Single row or linear

If the room is long and narrow, a linear layout is an excellent choice. At the same time, the working area is stretched along one wall, and the lunch area is at the end or vice versa. Also this option is good for studio apartments.

Double row

With this layout, the working area is located at two parallel walls, and the distance from the cabinets in the passage should not be less than 1.2 meters. A square or elongated room is well suited for such a solution.

Since with such a layout, the sink, stove and refrigerator are located triangularly, the working area is convenient and quite extensive. The only contentious issue that may arise is the location of the table. It can be taken out to the loggia zone, placed at the window, or, if the area allows, placed between the working walls.

U-shaped layout

This is the most comfortable and convenient layout, which retains its position in 2018. What gives such an arrangement of cabinets and cabinets?

• if you observe the metric norms, without violating the area of ​​the working triangle, then everything is within reach, making the work comfortable;
• if the design of the kitchen is 12 sq. m maybe combine a working area and a dining roomThis is the best option.

Isle

Kitchen 12 sq. M. meters is quite spacious, and ideas, interiors are quite diverse. The island is one of the new ideas that make this part of the house more stylish and fashionable. A photo:

This surface performs 2 functions at once: aesthetic and functional. If everything is clear with the aesthetic, then the functions of such an island can be varied:

• the island can be used as a dining table;
• cabinet for storing utensils and other things;
• hob or sink;
• additional work surface.

Adding this simple element, there are three things to consider:

1. The island itself should not be less than 1.2 m * 1.2 m. And the distance from other surfaces should not be less than 1.2 m.
2. The island is an excellent kitchen option if the room is square.
3. Using the island as a hob or sink, you need to think through all the important points that ensure work (hood, sockets, drainage and more), in advance.

An equally significant moment is the opportunity to replace the island with a peninsula made, for example, in the form of a bar counter. But for a kitchen with twelve square meters, such an element loses its functional importance. It is too short for receiving guests and too large for an additional workplace.

Errors to consider when planning

Number of drawers and nightstands

Washing

If the sink has a wing - this is an additional plus. After all, this is how a place for wet dishes and products appears, and you can also put hot pots and a kettle on it.

Textiles and Hoods

For curtains and other textile decor, it is better to choose fabrics that are resistant to dirt and frequent washing.
