Kitchen corner with table

Most housewives strive to create as much comfort in the kitchen as possible, since this room brings all the inhabitants of the house together in the morning and evening. Therefore, it is so important to make the room cozy and calm. Modern designers offer a large number of unique solutions that will help create a pleasant atmosphere in the kitchen. First of all, this concerns the kitchenette, which has a number of advantages over the classic furniture set made of table and chairs.

The kitchen corner is a comfortable and roomy sofa where you can sit comfortably. This is important, since in modern families in the kitchen they not only have breakfast and dinner, but also receive guests or get together to share their impressions of the day. In addition, most modern apartments do not have a separate dining room.

Typically, a kitchenette consists of:

• corner sofa;
• table;
• two chairs.

The main advantage of this set of furniture is the sofa. Depending on the design, it can solve several problems at once, allowing you to effectively use the kitchen space. In particular, he can:

• provide additional seating;
• serve as a sleeping place (for example, for guests);
• provide additional storage space for household appliances.

Modern designers offer a large selection of such furniture, even for small spaces. The compact kitchen corners feature a cropped sofa and a folding table. But this set also has several disadvantages. First of all, they should include the presence of soft upholstery, which is unstable to high humidity. In addition, when stains appear, they are not always easy to remove the first time, even with modern cleaning agents. Streaks may remain on the fabric.

However, this disadvantage can be eliminated by selecting waterproof materials. Another negative point is the rather high cost of the kitchen corner, especially when it is made to order.

Despite the fact that the interior of a separate kitchen must be approached individually, there are general rules when choosing a corner. They will help you choose the right, good quality option. The main thing is the processing of the ends of the parts of the sofa, chairs and table. High-quality furniture is distinguished by the absence of chips and roughness along all edges, especially if the furniture is made of chipboard.

The next step in the inspection is the quality of the fasteners.

Metal parts should not show even the slightest signs of rust, chips or torn screwdriver holes. The tightness of the fit of the parts is also important. If parts of the table or sofa are not bolted tightly together, this indicates an insufficient fit. Such a marriage can lead to premature failure of kitchen furniture. The upholstery of the sofa also deserves special attention. The fabric on the furniture should not be too tight or too loose. In the first case, this threatens with a rupture of the upholstery during operation, and in the second, the appearance of dents in the seats.

But it is also worth paying attention to the heels on the legs of the table and sofa. They must be in stock. And it is better if these parts are made of soft plastic that will not scratch the flooring during the operation of the furniture.

An important part of the furniture set is the sofa corner. Depending on the configuration, a distinction is made between:

• soft corner sofa;
• corner with a rigid frame and upholstery;
• corner bench.

The upholstered sofa is good for its versatility. Such furniture can be ordered in accordance with the color scheme of the entire room. Then the harmonious combination will make the kitchen more comfortable. A corner bench is most often placed in small rooms, as it helps to save space. The hardness of the seat can be compensated for with special additional pillows or small soft mattresses.

The configuration of the kitchenette is also important. Such furniture is:

• right-sided;
• left-sided;
• universal.

The view is determined by the position of the longer part of the sofa (left or right). A sofa with equal sides in length is considered universal. There are kits, the design of which is represented by several building blocks.

With the help of such furniture, you can quickly and easily rearrange the kitchen. A corner set, including a sofa or a bench, can be made in the form of a transformer, which can be expanded into an additional berth. In this case, folding mechanisms can be of the "dolphin" or "French folding bed" type.

In the first case, the model has an additional roll-out section, which is located under the long part of the sofa. The surface of such a bed is flat and comfortable. In addition, the design is quite compact.

In the second case, the mechanism is represented by three folding sections and two supporting legs, which fit compactly under the sofa seat. This option is more suitable for occasional use (for example, for guests), since it does not differ in a high degree of comfort.

Most often, the design of a table with chairs is focused on the appearance of a corner sofa. However, other factors should be taken into account to create a harmonious room decor. Namely:

• the ability to fold the table if necessary;
• the versatility of the legs;
• the shape of the countertop.

A table with a sliding or folding mechanism provides additional space that can be useful in a small room for installing a corner sofa with a sleeping place.

The shape of the table top can be different. Modern manufacturers offer kits with a round, square or triangular surface. The only caveat is its design for a small corner. The table top with rounding will be harmoniously combined with such a sofa.

The decor of the chairs is most often completely identical to the exterior of the sofa, which makes the interior more complete. This is especially true for small rooms. In large kitchens, more original solutions offered by modern designers also look great. It can be a combination of metal and wood, metal and glass. In such variations, there are rather unusual color schemes. However, the overall style of the kit is still preserved.

In addition to the form, the materials from which the table is made can also be different. Namely:

• wood;
• laminated fiberboard, chipboard;
• glass.

The wooden tables go well with the classic style.Such furniture for the Provence style would also be a good solution.

Laminate tables can be used in any style, as the pattern of their surface can be ordered individually.

Kitchen corner models with a glass table look organically in a laconic style of minimalism, and also go well with high-tech and techno styles. All pieces of furniture of this set are most often equipped with chrome details, and the presence of a transparent surface contributes to the visual expansion of the space.

Any table is suitable for a large kitchen. The main selection criterion is the general decor of the kitchen and the design of the corner sofa. A large wooden rectangular or oval table will look great in a large room. But it must be complemented by chairs of a similar type.

For a small kitchen, a small round table with a folding mechanism is perfect. Typically, this piece of furniture has one leg in the center and folds almost in half. When folded, it has a semicircular shape that does not take up much space.

It is better if the chairs are combined in style with the entire set of the kitchen corner. They can be different in shape: from classic upholstered seats with backs to soft benches.

A wide variety of modern models allows you to equip a room of any size with a kitchen corner. A variety of materials and shapes will help to individualize the decor of the room, make it comfortable and functional.
