For small kitchens, there are three ways to arrange furniture without compromising space:

• In two rows - at the opposite walls there is a kitchen (cabinets and cabinets), and at the window there is a small dining area. The table can fit up to three people;
• L-shaped - an angular set is used for planning, and a soft corner with a table or chairs and a table is placed in a free corner;
• Linear - the headset is located along one wall. On the contrary, you can make a bar counter with high chairs.

Furniture selection and placement

To make the device of a small kitchen practical, multifunctional and comfortable, you need to correctly select furniture.

Designs that fit:

• Cabinets to the ceiling allow you to use the vertical space of the kitchen. On the very top shelves there is a place for things that are not used every day;
• Folding furniture - folding tables and folding chairs do not eat the space of a small kitchen;
• The bar counter takes up much less space than the usual dining tables. In addition to it, you can make an add-in with shelves, and from above organize space for mugs or glasses.

Appliances

The arrangement of household attributes for cooking also plays a role. For example, a conventional cooker can be replaced with a hob. And build a refrigerator in one of the walls of the kitchen.
