The main purpose of using the kitchen is cooking. The process implies the satisfaction of gastronomic needs, makes it possible to realize creativity through cooking. To quickly prepare food, having done this with all the amenities, it is necessary to rationally equip the kitchen. The design of the large kitchen allows the use of modern household appliances, built into the furniture. The integration of a coffee machine, combine, dishwasher, and other equipment allows you to use the kitchen with a decent level of comfort. Also, all associated furniture, which is assembled from separate blocks, must be used in a suspended state. Then it will seem larger, and the space will allow members of the family to expand there. Use corner models to fit bulky objects.
The main rule of the design of the kitchen composition is that the refrigerator, sink, hob must be placed in the upper zone of the elongated triangle so that during cooking you do not move several times more due to the need to use all objects at the same time.
Give preference to parts that allow a free approach from all sides.
Here are some suggestions:
Build all the equipment depending on whether you are right-handed or left-handed. If your leading hand is right, then the items from the refrigerator to the table should be located from left to right. If left-handed, respectively, vice versa.
To set up comfort, as well as to avoid injuries to the back or knees, make the surface of the working area of the table 14 centimeters below the level of the arm bent at the elbow at an angle of ninety degrees.
Make yourself comfortable conditions in the kitchen with the following elements: a chair with the ability to adjust, a board with a sliding element, a countertop with the possibility of folding.
Adjust the arrangement of the lockers to the height of the person who will use them most of the time.
Seal the work surface. Take care of solidity.
To protect the air from mixing odors, install a hood above the stove, the necessary ventilation and, if desired, additional elements that allow the air to “walk” freely.
Consider the layout of the table. Since it takes up a lot of space, think about its location in another room. If you want to put it directly in the kitchen, then place it at least one and a half meters from the cabinets to enable free movement.
Divide the room into two parts - the working and dining areas.
If you want to install a bar, then tailor it just for a standing person. It is used during breakfast.You can also install a model with the ability to adjust the height to ensure the proper level of comfort for guests.
What materials to use?
The list of materials for the production and decoration of the kitchen set is quite wide. The facade can be made of wooden materials or metal. The tabletop is made of aluminum, chipboard, marble, granite, laminate, ceramics, and other materials.
If you intend to use metal objects, then remember that they are at least durable, but have a high risk of being scratched. Using a laminate will weaken the blow to the wallet and will not give a feeling of natural material. Natural stone will give an atmosphere of reliability, high aesthetics, but there will be unpleasant traces of various liquids on it. When using artificial stone, the risk of damage is reduced, and if there are any defects, they can be easily eliminated.
The 21st century is characterized by the abandonment of materials such as plastic and laminate. Wood, tile or metal is being used more and more. With the help of these materials, she looks more like an elite restaurant with a more pleasant atmosphere for eating.
Design Trends
Characteristic design elements should fully reflect the character. For this, new trends appear that give the kitchen culture a certain level of functionalism. One of the trending aspects is the installation of rounded furniture.
Also fits well installation without hanging cabinets, as well as cabinets with a facilitated extension of drawers and closers on the doors.
There is the possibility of opening the facades with one touch of a hand, legs (even such happen), and closing is carried out automatically by pressing. On such facades you will not find a classic handle; there is an ordinary slot there. Quite often, facades have contrasting surfaces - this gives a unique style.
The lower blocks must be placed on high legs - this can give some lightness.Try to drown the base deeper. It is also a good solution to suspend large blocks to give extra spatial comfort to the legs.
One of the latest trends is the combination of living room and kitchen. It is used even in the classic interior of a large kitchen. This is justified, unless you are worried about mixing smells in the living room and have good air circulation. To prevent odors in the living room, install a transparent, drywall, or wooden partition. The actual area will remain the same, but the separation will help to solve problems with aromas from cooking.
To give the design of a large kitchen a classic style, it is worth making a bias towards the country.
The design is supported by stained-glass windows, panels and other elements. To make room in a large kitchen, to make it even more free, use transformable furniture. Among them: various tables with a reclining top, an increase in the working area near the window, the arrangement of the window opening with shelves. Functionality will add various storage systems for products under the ceiling, table or organized niche.
Take care of the availability of a sufficient number of seats, because in recent years it has been the central place of family and friendly communication. Now you can cook there, reheat food, just drink tea with friends or communicate exclusively.
There is also a trend of a straight solid line. The burners are arranged in a line, the sink takes on horizontal shapes, and the cooking surfaces and other utensils are located under the hinged lids. The TV is also built into one of the cabinets, and the crane is hiding in the wall. The basic principle that works in the field of design is that the less a kitchen looks like an ordinary one, the more stylish it is.
Color
First of all, it is worth remembering that our brain automatically rejects dirty and acid colors.That is why you should not make the choice of colors in favor of gray-brown, bright green or pink. All this will create a feeling of some kind of poisonous atmosphere.
Better we perceive natural colors. They create a more pleasant atmosphere and improve appetite. Woody warm colors are very suitable. Also, the brain perfectly perceives simple colors - coffee with milk, beige, cream, etc. White color also works well, but any defects on it will be instantly displayed.
It is worth taking care of good lighting over the work area and the power point. The lack of natural light makes us lethargic, and its surplus makes us quickly tired. Soft, diffused light is what you need to design a large kitchen.
