For most, the kitchen is associated with the image of a home hearth, a feeling of warmth and coziness. Many people have memories from their childhood, when their mother or grandmother cooked something delicious in the kitchen, and the wonderful smell spread throughout the house. So that the kitchen always pleases and it is pleasant to be in it, read on which kitchen to choose in the blog of the furniture shopping center "Diamant".
Choosing a layout
Depending on the area of the room and its shape, you can choose the layout of the future kitchen. An L-shaped layout is suitable for small square spaces. The furniture of the working area will occupy two adjacent walls, and a dining table will be placed opposite them.
The U-shaped layout will be an excellent solution for large spaces. Here, the furniture of the working area already occupies three adjacent walls, while the dining area is placed in the center or on the fourth wall.
If the area of the room allows, you can choose an island layout. In this case, some interior element is installed in the center of the room, for example, a bar counter.
Material selection
The cost of the kitchen can vary several times due to the materials used. Chipboard and MDF are considered the cheapest today. At the same time, MDF is especially convenient because it can be covered with plastic, enamel or acrylic on top, and its structure is almost identical to a wooden board.
Kitchens made of natural wood, as a rule, are much more expensive. They have their undeniable advantages: such kitchens look more presentable, they are environmentally friendly and safe, and in case of wear and tear, they can be restored. However, such kitchens also have disadvantages: the wood tends to dry out, rot, and fade. Such kitchens are quite capricious in operation and require special conditions.
It is important to choose the right material for the tabletop. It can be made of plastic, artificial stone or quartz. At the same time, although plastic is distinguished by a fairly low price and practicality in care, it loses its appearance quite quickly, is sensitive to moisture and high temperatures. Expensive artificial stone lasts longer and looks better, but such a countertop is more difficult to repair or replace.
Design and color range
It is important to choose the right color scheme and design of the kitchen. Here everything completely depends on the owner's preferred taste and his financial capabilities.
The kitchen can be monochrome or in several different colors. However, experts do not advise using more than three different shades, the main idea of the room may be lost due to the variety of colors. Some colors improve mood and appetite, others, on the contrary, spoil them. In this regard, many do not like black or metallic kitchens. Another important aspect to which you should pay attention when choosing a color is the lighting of the room. If the windows face the dark side, then the dark design will look gloomy.
Choosing a kitchen is often a difficult and responsible decision. But if it is done correctly, the kitchen will delight the whole family for more than one hour.
