A little bit about the size and location

• The dimensions and location of the kitchen corner should be such that the passage from the dining room to another furniture (for example, a kitchen set) were about 90-100 cm, and in order for you to sit comfortably and get up from the table, the distance from the table to the wall / furniture should not be less than 80 cm.

• The depth of sitting is about 50 cm - the most comfortable for an average adult complexion.
• Near the front door, near a refrigerator, sink or stove - all these are not the best options for placing furniture, the ideal option is at the window.

As for modern upholstery materials, they are often synthetic and characterized by practicality, ease of care and resistance to burnout. Among the popular materials is worth noting:

• Chenil, plush, jacquard and velor are popular and common coverings;

• Microfiber with protective Teflon coating - wear-resistant material with good color stability;

• Flock - practical, but somewhat less wear-resistant than microfiber.Important! Only a qualitative flock with a short pile and a diagonal weave is allowed - if the fabric is interwoven with the fibers transversely-longitudinal, it will very quickly lose its original appearance;
• Skin - durable and easy to care, but quite specific in terms of design;

• Eco-leather is a popular substitute for natural material. It differs by its fire resistance, breathing structure, it imitates the natural skin well.

On furniture with a solid surface, such as benches, put pillows that can be sewn by hand and changed from time to time. This "garden" option today in a trend in urban apartments. Look at the photos - the benches and the sofa corners with the pillows look very cozy.

If you make a soft corner with your own hands, and if you buy ready-made furniture, you need to understand the differences in existing types of fillers.

• E (ST) - normal rigidity;
• EL - increased;
• HL - hard;
• ER - soft;
• HS - hyper soft;
• HR - high elasticity.

The best fillers can last about 10 years. More solid is considered only furniture with spring blocks.
