Kitchen design 12 m2

Consider the popular planning schemes and analyze their nuances. The basic principle of the organization of the kitchen space is the placement of the kitchen set. Its location and dimensions are determined by economic necessity and individual characteristics of the room. Often these two parameters conflict with each other, but you can always choose the best option.

And if you can’t independently combine what you want with the real, then do not despair, but seek the help of an interior designer for help - perhaps this It will require additional costs (insignificant in comparison with the cost of materials for repair), but on the other hand, you will have a long-term sense of comfort guaranteed.

Zoning

In addition to zoning by the arrangement of furniture, twelve squares can be visually separated using the following design techniques (more here):

• The combination of different floor coverings on the floor, the use of different directions for their installation or just color contrasting surfaces can give clear lines of demarcation that harmoniously organize space with different functions.
  
• By combining different wallpapers on one wall, you can visually separate the dining and working areas.
  
• A multi-level ceiling can significantly differentiate the space. Do not take it only as an element of decor.
  
• Light can also have a zoning effect - divide the groups of lighting devices, and with the help of the switch it will be possible to combine or separate the space.
  

Move the walls in color

Color picker tips are discussed in detail in this article. If your room is narrow and you do not like the feeling of a pencil case, then long walls can be made light (along with the facades of the headset), and short walls can be made darker. Such a design technique visually compensates for elongation. In combination with the separation of the walls with different wallpapers, you can achieve a harmonious volumetric and spatial design of the room.

For high-quality repair work, take care of accurate drawings. Even if you do it yourself, in a room with twelve squares it’s easy to get confused in size.

Communications

The location of sockets and switches, as well as the location of the water supply, must be taken into account even at the stage of interior design. The layout of the kitchen set and the rest of the furniture must be done in conjunction with all communications, the withdrawal points of which will be depend on the location of the main consumers of electricity and water - a dishwasher, electric stove, microwave, kettle and others.

On an area of ​​12 meters, you should not save on outlets. Add a couple to the calculated ones, and they will be useful to you during the operation. Think carefully about the lighting - a lot of time is spent in the kitchens, a lack of light during cooking can adversely affect health. Placement of additional luminaires above the working area, united in a separate group, will add comfort during operation of the room.

Finishing materials in the kitchen 12 m2

Such a kitchen can not be called very small (in comparison with the kitchens of 6 and 9 square meters). Therefore, when choosing finishing materials, some restrictions can be removed.

Wallpaper

• You can use colored wallpaper with a contrasting pattern (selection tips here) without fear of overloading the interior.
• Suppose a large picture on the wallpaper - in such an area it will not cause visual discomfort.
• It is not necessary to use only cool shades to visually expand the room. Warm and even bright colors will not spoil the interior.
  

Flooring

• You can safely use large-format ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles in combination with a smaller format.
• It is not forbidden to use linoleum with an active ornament.
• You can use the laminate and wooden floors in contrasting colors.
• The texture of the cork coating will look very appropriate.
  

Ceiling

• Any combination of drywall ceilings and stretch ceilings - glossy, matte, tinted. But do not overload the ceiling design. 12 squares is not enough, but it is worth knowing the measure.
  

Estimate

Do not be too lazy to make an estimate. The price of facades for a kitchen set, especially if you have a two-sided type of layout, may surprise you. When all the numbers are on hand, you can confidently argue whether you fit into the budget or not. And if necessary, you can timely correct the project. Otherwise, an unfinished room will spoil your mood for a long time.

Remember that prices for the same materials in different stores of even one region can differ significantly from each other. Therefore, do not despair when receiving inflated numbers, but look for more profitable acquisition options. Online stores or small vendors often sell at more affordable prices.

Finishing work sequence

If you do not have free storage space, make sure that the kitchen set and other furniture are delivered to you after the repair work is completed. To do this, when choosing a store or workshop, find out about the availability of storage services for finished products and its cost.

The trick of completing the finishing work is not to spoil the work that has already been done. Therefore, they usually adhere to the following sequence: free the room from furniture; clean the walls, floor and ceiling of the old cladding; then do engineering networks; then they finish in order - walls (first of all, if a stretch ceiling is used), ceiling, floor; further cleaning and installation of furniture and equipment.
