Modern orange kitchen with black apron

The apartment is located in a simple panel house, and the kitchen is square. The organization of the interior was needed to create a cozy atmosphere for a large family: mom, dad, daughter and son.

Planning difficulties

The location of the hood is very inconvenient (on the left side of the entrance), because the priority was compliance with the rule working triangle, that is, the refrigerator, sink and stove are located symmetrically, which brings convenience when work.

According to the rules of cooking, the refrigerator, sink and stove should be located exactly the same as shown in the drawing. But in the initial version, the stove and the hood were at a fairly large distance from each other.

The air duct is located in a three-stage ledge, where in theory there should be a wall with a flat surface.

The balcony is very impractical due to its small size. The balcony door is also uncomfortable, because it interferes with the installation of furniture in the eating area.

The budget was small. After much deliberation, it was decided to contact the designer from the manufacturer. The choice was made in the direction of the AYRO brand - a Belarusian manufacturer.

Their advantages:

• Use of decorative carpentry glue seam for joining furniture parts.
• Providing choice in the depths of countertops.
• The ability to select a surface for work, that is, it can be made either higher or lower.

Briefly about the kitchen

• Doors and windows, it was decided to leave the same. Roller blinds - A great option for this kitchen, because if there are children, there is a high probability that they can ruin them during the game. The option with blinds is not suitable, since the atmosphere is more office than home. To buy Roman curtains did not allow the budget.
• The floor is made cork. Its advantage is that it is very warm. The floor material is unpretentious in care, safe and environmentally friendly, which is perfect for an apartment where children are.
• Part of the complex structure of which the ceiling is made is removed behind drywall. This was done to hide a three-meter air pipe, which reaches to the ventilation itself. The rest of the ceiling is stretched, glossy, caramel color. It was necessary to remove from view most of the cables and wires, especially under lighting.
• When choosing wallpapers, preference was given to combined ones: paper wallpapers of four fragments adorn the dining area with a forest theme. But it turned out that such wallpaper on a non-woven fabric is of better quality, although it costs a little more.
• Location chandeliers almost centrally selected, and spotlight. One of the positive aspects of the chandelier is its lightness, warmth. Handmade light source. Spot lighting is a fluorescent lamp. Initially, their color was planned to be yellow, but due to confusion, they turned out to be cool white, which in principle is very good.

Equipment

A microwave from the Samsung brand was purchased before the repair, or rather, before moving to a new apartment. The refrigerator, like the microwave, is also Samsung. The problem with the refrigerator is to outweigh the door. A separate hood was purchased from Cata. Hansa - oven and hob. LG is a TV. All equipment was purchased at different time intervals, respectively, the manufacturers are also different. The main principle was compliance with the price / quality rule.

Dinner Zone

Dark brown wood is the material for the table and chairs. Furniture made in China. The table has an additional extension function and reaches a length of up to 1.6 meters. When folded, its lengths are 110 × 80. A soft seat, selected to match the color of the wallpaper, adorns the chairs.

Here is the kitchen itself, the project of which was created independently. Dark brown chipboard served as the material for the kitchen. Orange Italian plastic - for the front side of the room headset. The countertop and the kitchen apron are the same wenge chipboard.

All cabinets and drawers have a special mechanism with the function of an auto-winder - bloom. The three upper lockers also have a mechanism, but a lift - Aventos, that is, they open by lifting the door up and folding it like a book. What is the first, that the second mechanism is quite expensive.

The cabinet above the sink opens by pressing (for designers this type of mechanism is called a tipon). Initially, a mistake was made, since the handle rested on the cabinet on the left side, but after that everything was fixed, and the mechanism was replaced.

Drawers are pulled out all the way, and special stops are installed on their sides. Such a system is called metabox. A drawer is installed on the right side of the oven, and on the left there is a shelf for various trifles, such as tacks, cookbooks and children's toys.

Recently, a set of equipment was purchased slow cookerwhich works great. All furniture neatly closes and opens, does not clap and does not knock, but there is also a drawback, which consists in the installed auto-feed in the cabinet under sink: when the drawers on the right side are smoothly closed, which also have an auto-drawer, the possibility of quick access to the cabinet under a sink.

Positive aspects of the kitchen:

• Conveniently organized space, which turned out thanks to the drawers. In the whole kitchen there is only one hinged cabinet.
• Saturated orange color of the front side of the kitchen. Facades have the same color both inside and outside.
• Mechanism with auto-couplers and Aventos system.
• Cork flooring, one of the advantages of which is its warmth.
• The beauty of the ceiling.
• Compliance with the rules of the working triangle, which greatly saves time.
• Plastic front side of the kitchen set, unpretentious in care.

What you need to pay attention to

• Outlet location. This is a very important detail that must be carefully considered to avoid the presence of various extra cords in the kitchen. They will interfere.
• Sink and faucet. This may seem like a trifle, but neglecting it can bring some trouble. That faucet, that the stainless steel sink was purchased from one seller in an online store, but one seemingly insignificant, but actually important point was not taken into account: the drop height is not suitable for the installed sink, which ultimately leads to water splashing when washing dishes (dishwasher is missing), even if the water pressure weak.

• The skinal and the work surface are dark in color, and also do not require special care. But it is worth noting that the kitchen is constantly maintained order.
• LED backlight for the work area. At the moment, a switch for it is not installed, but it is not particularly needed, since there is quite enough light from spotlights.

It is also planned to replace the door with a sliding door in its place, buy a freezer, find a manufacturer and create a project for a sofa that could create an extra bed and take into account the presence of a balcony door next to him. There are also plans to do wall decor, decorating them with various framed photographs.
