It is necessary to make measurements of the room before you start choosing furniture for the kitchen.
Before you go to the store for a headset, you need to measure the space in which it will be located.
It is better to follow several rules and then nothing will be forgotten.
To obtain accurate measurements, you need to arm yourself with a tape measure. You need the exact dimensions of the window and door openings, and you should measure the length of the walls and the distance between them, the height of the ceiling, the distance from the floor to the window sill, do not forget to measure the protruding elements - sockets, pipes, switches and taps. After the data is recorded, it is necessary to design an already detailed kitchen plan. Based on this drawing, it will be possible to determine exactly what the set will be and how to efficiently use the space in the kitchen.
Possible layout of furniture in the kitchen
Due to the fact that modern headsets are made according to the modular principle, it is possible to leave every corner in the kitchen space empty. It will be very rational to stop the choice on the headset in the shape of the letter P, if the kitchen space allows such a model, then you can use the window zone. That will expand the working space for cooking.
According to experienced designers, you should follow a certain sequence for rational space planning:
Functional areas of perfect cuisine
However, not all kitchens are suitable for this ideal planning option.But thanks to the versatility of headsets, even for a small room, you can choose a great option. After measurements are made and the project is made, it is possible to start the choice of kitchen set. This is a difficult process - choose a kitchen set. The first thing you need to choose a quality material from which it will be made, well, and the second to pick up the accessories, decide on the facade and come up with a design.
Choosing a quality headset, make sure that the lower cabinets have legs. This will protect the product from moisture, and it is also advisable in terms of hygiene and cleanliness.
The main points when choosing a product:
The height of the working space of the headset is selected, starting from the height of the person who will be following him most of the time. Usually it is 85-90 centimeters, and the dimensions of the cabinets are 72-36 centimeters. The main thing is to keep the distance between the work surface and cabinets about 50 centimeters.
Standard sizes and ranges for kitchen furniture
According to experts, working surfaces and the stove should be at different levels, this reduces the load during cooking, but single-level surfaces are often made, as this looks more aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. In addition, multi-level furniture should be made to order, and this increases its cost at times.
Manufacturers of kitchen sets act as domestic factories, and import. The difference in the price category. For example, domestic products ideally fit into Russian small kitchens for quite reasonable money. Most parts are ordered in Europe, so the quality speaks for itself.
Italian cuisine is the best in the world. It is an exquisite design, high-quality assembly, high-strength materials and expensive accessories. Sometimes the prices for such products reach a million. But it's worth it. The truth is that there is a lot of space for such a headset, otherwise it loses its appeal.
Italian cuisines are considered the highest quality in the world.
The material from which the future headset will be created must be distinguished by high strength and must also be protected from the effects of water and steam. In order to correctly determine the material, it is necessary to study the characteristics of each type.
The main types of material for the manufacture of kitchen sets:
Chipboard is the main material for the manufacture of headsets, as it is cheap and quite practical. It comes in a variety of colors; it is made of chipboard, which is subsequently coated with a laminate or other resistant material. Along the edges of the parts there is an edge that protects the product from moisture.
Cheap kitchens are made of laminated wood chipboard or other resistant material.
MDF is an environmentally friendly material, at a very reasonable price. It is well tolerated by all sorts of temperature drops, steam exposure, resistant to the appearance of fungus. Furniture for the kitchen, made of this material, is almost no different from furniture made from wood. The color scheme may be the most diverse.
MDF kitchen sets feature a huge variety of colors and textures.
Solid wood is one of the most expensive materials. Usually it is oak, ash, walnut or cherry. Solid bars are glued together and treated with special means so that the wood would tolerate moisture well and not dry out.The sets for kitchen made of the massif of a tree amaze with the esthetics and multifunctionality.
Furniture in the kitchen of solid wood
Now we should talk about the material from which the facades are made for kitchen furniture. LDSP, MDF are usually used.
LDSP is laminated by a chipboard. Its popularity has earned due to low cost. These are the most economical facades for the kitchen available to the average buyer. But LDSP has its minus. The edge of the parts is poorly protected from moisture, so with prolonged exposure to moisture and steam, it gets unstuck and with time facades swell and become unusable. Therefore, so that this does not happen, at least very quickly, it is imperative to hang the cabinets from the hob approximately at a distance of 60 centimeters.

MDF - unlike LDSP is more practical, but it is also environmentally friendly and safe to use, as part of no formaldehyde resins, as in chipboard. The facades of MDF are popular for their durability, and manufacturers use in the design of various types of finishes, which allows you to save the product even longer. For example, the most popular elements of the finish - veneer, plastic and PVC film. All this protects facades from chips, scratches and temperature effects.

After choosing the material for the future kitchen facade, you need to take care of its coverage. The four main types of coatings are PVC film, acrylic, plastic and enamel.
The first option suits consumers for the price and variety of textures. The kitchen can be decorated brightly and dynamically. But the film has its main disadvantage - sensitivity to high temperatures. So at a temperature of 100 degrees the film can be damaged, so in such a kitchen you must carefully use the stove.
It will be more practical to choose - plastic. It will protect the furniture from chipping and scratching, it is possible to choose any color scheme. Minus plastic is its cost.
Also, facades can be painted with enamel, but this is not a very practical option. Over time, the paint loses its brightness, and very noticeable chips and scratches appear on the headset.
Acrylic coating adds shine and shine. You can choose any color scheme. But there are some drawbacks here too. On acrylic facades, dust, stains from fingers and scratches are clearly visible. True, there is also its own feature - cracks can be sanded.
What will be the cover of the facade to choose only the buyer. Some will choose beauty, others practical in use, and others low cost.
As experts suggest, it is better to choose a solid worktop along the entire length of the kitchen.
