Given the features and size of the room, the corner kitchen module can be positioned in several main options:

• Classic. This is when the headset is placed along perpendicular converging walls. Equipment and furniture can be arranged as you want.
  

  The modular headset resembles a designer whose components can be interchanged and get a new interior

• Peninsula. Only suitable for rooms with a large area. One side of the headset is placed along the wall, the second is perpendicular to it, but so that the other wall is not affected. The kitchen is thus divided into working and dining areas. The peninsula is the free side.

• Kitchen with a breakfast bar. Stylish and comfortable. P- and F-shaped arrangement are possible. In the latter case, the bar is installed in the middle. This is suitable only for large rooms. In a small kitchen with a full dining area for such a bar, there is simply not enough space.
  

  Minimalist Corner Headset

• Working triangle. The most ergonomic layout. The tops of the triangle: sink, hob, refrigerator. Everything is based on the successive stages of cooking. Cooking time is reduced, the movements of the hostess are minimized.
  

  The sink is usually located in the corner of the kitchen

Note! The inner corner can be either straight or beveled. A straight line takes up less space and is suitable for small rooms. The beveled corner gives access to the inside of the space, but getting to the apron will get a little harder.

Corner headsets - a compact option for the kitchen

Everyone can make a small corner kitchen comfortable and cozy. The decisive role in this is played by the right choice of headset. Corner modules for the kitchen with a shallow depth, but at the same time quite high, allow you to place all the necessary cooking equipment. The lower part should be reserved for integrated household appliances. Properly selected colors for the facade emphasize the originality of the kitchen decoration.

Modular type headsets are chosen by people who like rigor and practicality.

The most functional corner headsets that use closed shelves and cabinets. However, this raises a problem - the interior becomes loaded with bulky blocks of modules. To avoid this, use combined elements decorated with a pattern or frosted glass.

They will look great and facilitate access to the contents of the modules with a rotating section, the so-called "carousel". Depending on their location, dishes, food or cleaning products can be placed inside.

It is better to choose a module with internal lighting to clearly see the entire contents of the cabinet

Modules with retractable swivel sections are also good in a small kitchenette. They can be put forward as a “train”. According to a similar principle, sliding drawers work.

Modular corner kitchen

Modular corner kitchens have three main segments: a corner and two side. The layout should be from the central part (i.e. the corner), and then increase the headset to the desired size. The main elements in this case are the cabinets and the lower cabinets.

The planning of the kitchen set should start with determining the place for washing

Corner pedestals

With the right choice, they visually expand the area of ​​the small kitchen, and in medium and large kitchen rooms are used to divide the space. In appearance, corner cabinets can be docking, L-shaped, trapezoidal.

Docking cabinets by design are two boxes, the adjacent sides of which form a joint of 90 degrees. One part of such a cabinet is deaf, the second with a door. Access to shelves in the back of the building is difficult and very limited.

This design is recommended to immediately equip with rotary shelves

In the L-shaped cabinet, adjacent parts are located at right angles to each other. In front there are two swing wings or a trolley-type door.

The trapezoidal cabinet is a rectangle with a beveled angle in shape. She has the largest capacity.

Corner Cabinets

They are divided into pendant, floor and corner-style pencil cases. Hanging cabinets can be straight, L-shaped and trapezoidal. All of them have compact dimensions, minimal weight, with good capacity. Floor made more thoroughly and heavier. Corner pencil cases in appearance are wide, but not large cabinets. They are functional and ergonomic.

Traditionally, the upper suspension module follows the shape of the cabinet below it.

As for the side tables and cabinets, they are much easier to install than corner cabinets and they are cheaper.Moreover, the diversity of forms is less.

Note! Optional, but quite functional and for some - a necessary element in the kitchen is the bar counter. In a small room, it can become a substitute for a table, and in a spacious room, it can effectively distinguish between a room and a working and dining area. Fits perfectly into almost any style of room decoration.

What style is combined with modular corner kitchens

Facades for the kitchen

By manufacture, they are divided into whole, frame and paneled.

Solid facades are a continuous canvas with a smooth and even surface. The shape is straight or rounded. The surface is not difficult to clean. Colors can have a variety of colors; printing and decoration with patch elements is also allowed.

Solid facades are made of chipboard or MDF, covered with films, plastic or paint

Frame facades are made of two different but harmoniously combined materials (wood + glass, metal + glass, metal + plastic, etc.). The surface is rectangular or rounded. Care is not complicated.

In one headset, various frame facades are often combined, for example, deaf and glass

The pane facades differ from the aforementioned by all kinds of glass stained glass and other inserts. Care and cleaning take a lot of time and effort.

Paneled facades are the priority of classic furniture

Color schemes

Basic Rules:

1. Combine harmoniously the colors of cold and warm shades. Use the color triangle.
2. Light colors can be used in kitchens of any meter, dark - only in spacious ones.
3. Do not choose facades by the color of the walls, they will merge and get lost. It is better to purchase a headset that is 2-3 tones darker. Contrast can be realized using a tabletop or wall panel.
4. In order not to look boring, use several shades of the same color or one base color, but on surfaces with different textures.
5. The top of the kitchen should be 1-2 shades lighter than the bottom.

White color visually expands the room. Looks good in any room. If you are at a loss to make a choice or are afraid to make a mistake, use it.
