When thinking about the interior design of a kitchen and its repair, many craftsmen may find that standard kitchen units are not suitable for their kitchen. Of course, you can order lockers that will fit perfectly in size, but this is a very expensive option. But there is a way out of this situation - modular kitchens from the budget segment of the market. Such furniture will be discussed in this article. We consider in detail all the pros and cons, types, sizes of a kitchen modular set and give profitable examples of photos.

A modular kitchen set is furniture consisting of separate cabinets (modules), united by one color scheme and one style. From each other, they differ in size and spaciousness. This allows everyone to assemble a kitchen set that will fully satisfy their needs and at the same time fit even in the smallest kitchenette.

Modular kitchens differ most and are good in that they have a huge number of different cabinets that differ from each other in size and type, but they are all designed in the same style and color scheme. In fact, modular cabinets can be safely compared with a children's designer, because you can make an original kitchen that is suitable in size and style without putting a lot of effort into it and without investing a lot of money. A kitchen made up of modules will certainly satisfy all your needs and tastes, since you made it yourself!

By what principle are the modules different from each other? Let's figure it out!
First of all, modular kitchen cabinets are divided according to this criterion. There are hanging (wall) and floor cabinets. These are the classic modules that everyone had at home. When drawing up a design project, you should select cabinets in pairs, that is, a wall of the same width should go to each floor element. This option will look the most profitable.

Note! It is worth choosing floor modules that are sold without countertops. This allows you to fasten the cabinets together with one common countertop without seams, which is very beneficial. Since dust, grease or dirt will not clog in the gap between the cabinets, which means that wet cleaning will need to be done much less often.
Cases where floor cabinets are separate from wall cabinets are very rare, and not always justified. Most often, without suspension modules, they are installed along the windows, under a hood or under household appliances, for example, a microwave or something similar. But situations where only wall cabinets are required are quite common. They are installed above the sink or above the stove, if the hood above it is not connected to the ventilation system (when long curbstones are needed).
For a modular kitchen, the choice of an apron is important.
There are pencil cases and free-standing modules on the market.This version of furniture has appeared in stores recently and is the most modern. A cabinet-kick is a module of such a height that ends on a level with hinged cabinets, has a large number of shelves and drawers inside, thereby saving space in a small kitchen, and if it is installed on the opposite corner from the refrigerator, the “pencil case” will be balance the kitchen space.
Separate modules are needed so that they can be placed in the middle of the kitchen, forming a kind of island, and we cover everything with a common countertop. Such an island can serve as a cooking surface, a dining area or a place for a dishwasher.

Modular kitchens from the budget price category are made up of elements of different configurations, but similar in style. Linear headsets consist of cabinets familiar to us all with drawers, shelves and doors. Modules can be completely different in height and width. In one cabinet, two, three, and even four drawers can be located, one above the other. A combination of a single drawer on top and a door, which hides shelves, which was popular ten years ago, is now less common in stores. But if you wish, you can still find a similar option.
Corner kitchens respectively require corner elements. Two types of such modules are available on the market: trapezoidal and L-shaped.

Trapezoidal lockers have a large capacity, as they do not have partitions in the corner. To store small items in such modules, of course, not cheap sliding structures will be needed, otherwise you will have to plunge almost completely into the cabinet, which, of course, is not always convenient. If the budget for repairs is strictly limited, then you can do without retractable structures by simply using a place in the corner module for large household items, for example, buckets and mops for mopping.

Also, modular cabinets can differ from each other in the way they open the doors. In floor kitchen cabinets, the doors can be either ordinary - swinging open or sliding, which, when opened, either move to the side or hide in special niches. Sliding structures are good if the distance between two parallel standing cabinets is small. The disadvantage of this type of door is that the guides need frequent care, otherwise they can be forgotten by dust and debris. In addition, you will not get access immediately to the entire cabinet, but only to half of it. It is also not always convenient.
Modular cabinets may differ in the type of door opening.
On hanging cabinets, the doors are swinging ordinary and lifting. Of course, lifting mechanisms are safer for human health, since it is impossible to hit your head about them even when open.
Important! Although the lifting and sliding doors are in many ways superior to the hinged ones, they will cost much more and it is very difficult to find modular kitchens with similar mechanisms in the budget segment of the market.

Why are modular kitchens so popular? What are their advantages and disadvantages? Let's figure it out!
Few would argue that such kitchens look cheap and ugly. After all, their design, even before the moment when the furniture factories start working, are developed by real professionals who do not just follow and blindly follow fashion, they themselves create trends in kitchen interiors! So there is no doubt that a modular kitchen is always a chic and trendy look. In fact, you get the kitchen from the blue TV screens - the same you see in your favorite cooking shows and television series. It is pleasant to return to such a kitchen, to be comfortable and not ashamed to invite friends and relatives for lunches and holiday dinners. A modern kitchen should be not only functional, but also aesthetic!
Thanks to modern technology, you can implement any design of a kitchen set.
Assembling a kitchen from modules will not require you a lot of effort or carpentry skills. Everyone will be able to do this on their own, or in extreme cases, order the assembly service in the store. Each kitchen is accompanied by simple and understandable assembly instructions, each part is marked, there are already holes on it for screwing screws and driving nails, which are also included.
Ease of assembly is the main advantage of a modular kitchen.
Modern people often change their place of residence, and of course it is unwise to buy new furniture for new housing. Therefore, it is important that the kitchen set is not only just assembled, but also well understood to the state of its components. After all, the disassembled design is much easier to transport from place to place.
The modular kitchen can be easily assembled and disassembled.
Not every city has houses that truly boast large kitchens. And because of this problem, it is very important to carefully think through and unleash the potential of each square meter.
Modular kitchens are one of the best options for organizing free space in the kitchen. Designers-developers take into account every little detail when moderating kitchen furniture, so do not doubt that each cabinet will be used for its intended purpose.

Buying furniture for the kitchen is always not an easy task. Indeed, when choosing furniture, it is important to consider not only the style of the cabinets, their colors and advantages over others, but also the size. This is a very important parameter, because it is the size of the headset that will weigh both the capacity of the cabinets and the convenience of the hostess when cooking:
Before you begin to assemble a modular kitchen, you need to carefully measure the size of the room.
Important! To make the countertop hang over all modules by about 3-5 centimeters, this contributes to comfortable work.
The variety of styles in which you can assemble a modular kitchen is one of the many and most important advantages of a modular headset.

The main feature of this style is the use of natural materials or their high-quality imitation. Most often, to create an interior in a classical style, arrays of cherry, cedar and oak trees and natural stones, such as granite or shimmering mica, are used. Of course, if we talk about the economy class of a kitchen set, then there can be no talk of natural materials; instead, plastic films and tiles are used. Pay close attention to lighting. Obviously, ordinary plastic fixtures will not fit this luxurious style at all.
