Dining groups for the kitchen

Dining groups for the kitchen is a generally accepted definition in the design environment, which means a set of furniture intended for eating. Depending on the size of the kitchen space and style, not only chairs, but also benches, stools, and soft corner sofas can be used as elements of dining groups.

The table can also have different shapes - sometimes it is dictated by the small size of the kitchen and the number of family members. At the same time, it is important that, regardless of the number of elements in the kitchen group and the size of the room, they all look harmonious, creating a favorable atmosphere that promotes eating and sincere conversations at the table.

The kitchen space, regardless of its size, is always divided into two parts: a work area (cooking area) and a dining area. The furniture is accordingly also divided into two groups, each of which is located separately. Since furniture for small kitchens will always be the most demanded among buyers, it will be advisable to consider the specifics of the equipment and completing precisely small spaces.

Usually, several modular sections are installed to the wall opposite the window in the form of cabinets with shelves intended for household purposes. At the bottom are the countertop, stove and sink. As for the dining area itself, it should be located as far from the stove as possible, both for safety and for maximum comfort.

If the kitchen is large, there are no problems with the placement of the dining group and all other items of its furnishings. When the space does not have serious restrictions, it is possible to purchase ready-made elite kitchen sets right away. Furniture for small spaces is increasingly being made to order.

A dining furniture set for small kitchens usually includes a table and several chairs or stools of the same size and color. If the kitchen is more spacious, you can equip it with a straight sofa or put a corner. In the case of a very small-sized version of the room, the "one-legged" round table complete with several chairs or stools will be the best choice. It is desirable that both the table and the seating area be compact and light-looking and not clutter up the space.

A kitchen group with upholstered chairs is a very tempting proposition, but unfortunately it is not suitable for very small spaces. Even if such a set is small, "dangerous" proximity to the stove and other places for cooking can contribute to frequent and rapid contamination, which is sometimes difficult to cope with. Of course, it is always more comfortable to sit on soft chairs during lunch, but it is best to consider this option for a medium or large kitchen.

A kitchen set with a sliding table is a good solution in case of the arrival of guests. It will be appropriate both in a large kitchen and in a small one, it is only important to correctly determine the dimensions and place of its installation.It is better to order a table with a high-quality sliding mechanism that will not let you down at the right time.

When it comes to the shapes of the kitchen set, most often it concerns the table as the most important item.

A kitchen group with a round table always adds extra coziness to the room. The current trend towards mixing shapes and styles allows for a round table and square or rectangular chairs.

A small round table and a pair of light chairs will always help out the owners of a small kitchen. Moreover, if the table does not have sharp corners, when moving in a small space, there is less risk of injury from hitting a sharp corner. Depending on the size of the kitchen and the customer's preferences, the table can be not only round, but also oval. Both forms are the safest for children.

And of course, the corner elements of kitchen groups are an indispensable option if the kitchen is medium in size. They are made in the form of well-known corner sofas with soft upholstery, the seats of which are most often lifting with the ability to store items needed in the household in the lower drawer.

The width of the space between the table and the chair should be 60-80 cm so that the person sitting at the table does not feel constrained. The parameters of an average dining table are 120 cm in length, and the width and height are approximately the same - from 75 to 80 cm.This compact table can easily accommodate four people. The diameter of round dining tables according to generally accepted standards should be 90 cm.

The optimal sizes of kitchen chairs: seat 43-45 cm high, up to 60 cm wide, 49 to 56 cm deep. There is a conditional division of chairs according to the level of rigidity, which is determined by whether they have any upholstery or flooring material. The thickness of the upholstery of upholstered chairs is from 30 to 55 mm (including springs), if they are semi-soft - 20-40 mm.

Metal kitchen sets are distinguished by their elegance and beauty, despite the external simplicity. The surface and legs of such products are made of blanks in the form of iron tubes, which serve as reliable support for the table top. Such tables are distinguished by their special strength and durability, as well as the stability of the forged legs, which does not allow the product to slide on the floor. There are often special plugs at the ends of the legs, thanks to which the table does not scratch the floor.

Solid wood dining groups will always be fashionable and relevant, despite the high cost. Wooden products are made from hevea, beech, wenge, oak, they always look natural and effective.

Dining sets made of glass are a kind of hit of the modern era. The glass used in production and assembly undergoes a special processing technology and is called tempered triplex.Therefore, the tabletop and chairs are very slightly inferior in strength to metal, and thanks to their transparency, they contribute to a visual increase in space.

Wicker faux rattan furniture in the dining kitchen groups is represented by cozy chairs. Rattan is a material of high environmental friendliness and strength, but products made from it must be wiped frequently to avoid the accumulation of dust and crumbs.

Cheaper and more popular options can be made from a fine fraction of wood (or MDF) with different coatings, as well as from chipboard, which to this day is the most inexpensive material.

At the present stage, products of any color can be found on the market. This also applies to kitchen groups, since modern materials that can be successfully combined with natural ones can be subjected to any processing and painting.

The universal colors are always black and white: if you wish, you can successfully combine black and white in a dining group. For example, a table might be neutral white, and chairs might be alternating between white and black. This combination will fit well into the kitchen with any wallpaper and floor covering.

Unlike the classics, hi-tech is very popular with the younger generation. Such a kitchen group can be made of metal or impact-resistant glass, and also contain a combination of several types of material. There are dining groups that are made of solid solid plastic in bright futuristic colors.

It is recommended to choose a kitchen group when the renovation in the room is nearing the end: one should proceed from the existing floor colors, wallpaper and the general interior orientation. It is important that the chairs are in harmony with the table in terms of color and style.

For a small kitchen, a small round table and several chairs made of glass would be a good option: the lightness of the design of these products will create the effect of expanding the space and give the small room a unique charm and charm. Also, for the design of small-sized kitchens, you can use several stools instead of chairs, which can always be pushed under the table so that they do not take up much space.

For a small area, the optimal solution would be to install a corner soft sofa with a backrest together with a table of standard sizes or a folding rectangular shape. The angular design always allows you to place the items you need in the household inside, and its main "trick" is that several people can be put on it at once.

High-quality kitchen groups for the living room should be chosen if the living room is already decorated in a strict classic style. Massive furniture made of natural wood will become both a worthy decoration and a unique attraction of a large house.

The zoning issue is not a big deal in the case when the kitchen furniture is installed in a room with a sufficient area. If you have to deal with a small or medium-sized kitchen, the task is complicated by the fact that it is not possible to clearly identify the dining area and the cooking area.However, in order to optimize the space as much as possible, there are still a few simple general rules.

First of all, the table and chairs should, if possible, not interfere with the cooking process. It is best to try to place them as far as possible from the stove and from kitchen cabinets with equipment. Round and oval tables take up much more space than tables with sharp corners - this is also important to consider when placing.

You should not buy chairs with high backs and massive legs for a small kitchen. Surplus in the form of upholstered furniture in small-sized rooms will not be entirely appropriate: it is known that products made of chipboard, metal and glass without upholstery are more compact and practical to use.

Before buying a kitchen group, you should always make preliminary measurements of the place where you plan to install the table. It is important that the dimensions are taken correctly, and if you plan to purchase a ready-made product in a furniture store, it will not hurt to once again measure its parameters already on the spot, bearing in mind that for optimal placement of the table in the kitchen, you will need a "stock" of usable space.

Even if we are talking about a small-sized kitchen, you should always remember that thanks to modern technology, you can buy that furniture that fits perfectly into any space. Modern tables and chairs in high-tech or loft style are very light, have bright colors, easily move in space and create a unique mood.

If the kitchen has a plank floor, and the opportunity to put an expensive laminate is not foreseen, it does not matter. It is possible to custom-order “age” the well-worn table and chairs for “Provence” and cover them with a dark varnish or leave them uncoated.

When the kitchen itself is made in light colors, the ideal solution would be to buy a pale white table, which will become both a decoration of the room and a practical solution to the "color" issue, since chairs of any shade can be matched to the white color. The most daring solution is chairs in bright colors - either orange or red, which looks fashionable, stylish and modern.

You can equip a kitchen on the terrace of a country house by purchasing a set of furniture in the form of a tabletop made of impact-resistant glass and chairs made of artificial rattan. In the general ensemble, it will look cozy and beautiful, moreover, such furniture is very resistant to the influence of weather conditions and does not require scrupulous care if it gets wet with rainwater or is exposed to direct sunlight.

If it is planned to install a hob and sink in the color of silver metal in the kitchen, metal chairs with a rectangular table will ideally fit into such an environment. In this case, the color of the upper and lower cabinets can be anything: metallic gray is as neutral as white.

Impact-resistant glass is remarkable in that, unlike chipboard, MDF and natural wood, products from it can be placed quite close to the plate, without fear that they may crack due to temperature changes. If the food is cooked close to such a kitchen set, it is much easier to clean than other materials.

The same can be said about metal kitchen furniture, although for many consumers it still seems to be something unusual and even inaccessible, perhaps due to its too exotic appearance.

In cases where the area allows you to place a ready-made dining group, we can already talk about products made from natural wood.If you plan to install furniture in a classic style, both the wallpaper and the floor covering should be kept in dark and warm colors, so that the color of the natural wood contrasts well with the overall environment.

Thus, the concept of "kitchen dining group" is not limited to massive and expensive furniture. Due to the variety of offers on the market, it is possible to find the right furniture for each room. You can do this yourself, or using the services of professional designers and craftsmen.
