Draw a kitchen plan. How to draw a kitchen online yourself: an overview of free programs

This article contains practical advice and step by step instruction self-creation design project kitchen set, based on the specific dimensions of the room. Thanks to the available information and consultations of the chief technologist of the furniture production Timur Denisov, you will sketch the kitchen of your dreams without any problems.

After the first part of the article “Do-it-yourself kitchen design: Part I” was published, I received email several letters asking why it is necessary to develop a kitchen project on your own at home, and then also calculate the details, if you can order the entire kitchen set in a furniture store.

I hope you don't mind if I answer here. Naturally, this answer is my personal opinion, as it is now fashionable to say - IMHO, and I absolutely do not pretend to be the truth in the first instance.

Why do we need design, calculation and self-assembly of the kitchen

Self-made kitchen It is, first of all, economy. What exactly is the savings, because the same materials and fittings are used that are used in furniture stores?

Everything is simple. When ordering a kitchen from a manufacturer, you pay not only for the material used, but also for the work of a measurer, designer, public utilities and office rent furniture shop. Even the customer pays for office supplies and gasoline. Of course, from all these allowances, the cost of the same laminated chipboard increases not by a few percent, but by about two times.

The same is true with accessories. For example, a furniture handle costs 1 ruble (I'm exaggerating) and when you buy a handle in a hardware store, you pay exactly one ruble. But, if the same ruble handle is brought to your house, and even screwed to the facade, its price will be 2 rubles, since the product was transferred / transported from the store to the workshop, holes were drilled under it and screwed. That is, it has been done certain work for which, of course, you have to pay.

But, it seems to me that any normal man will screw the handle to the door no worse than a professional. Why pay more where a highly qualified specialist is not needed?

In addition, who, if not you, knows all the nuances and pitfalls of the room in which the furniture will subsequently be installed? Being constantly in the apartment, you have unique opportunity measure the kitchen several times and think through everything to the smallest detail. Moreover, after reading my articles, you can issue a self-taught furniture maker diploma.

Another undoubted benefit is the order cutting chipboard on any furniture production, where the price is more attractive, and the facades are the same in general, you can order in another city directly with delivery or choose locally at an affordable cost. Thus, you can vary the amount you plan to spend on a purchase. new kitchen.

I will no longer torment with explanations about savings and proceed to the actual design of the kitchen.

Independent creation of a kitchen project

Let me remind you that in the previous part (see Part I) we measured the room, and got the actual dimensions 3050 x 1530 mm. In this space, it should turn out to be quite a full-fledged corner kitchen.

Now we take a sheet in a box or graph paper. We draw top view to scale. In order for the kitchen to fit on one leaf, I chose a scale where 1 cm is equal to 10 cm. That is, 2 cells on my sketch correspond to 100 millimeters. Here add all objects (counters, speaker, communications) also decreasing in the chosen scale.

Important! Standard worktop length: 3050 mm and 4200 mm. Standard Width worktops: 600 and 800 mm.

I deliberately drew the countertop on the entry side shorter by 30 mm - this will be our technological access in case the corner of the wall is not straight. Also, pay attention to table top rounding- a convenient feature so that when entering / exiting, you do not hit the sharp corner of the tabletop.

Exist two options corner kitchens - the shape of the corner in the form of the letter "G" or a trapezoid. For apartments, the L-shaped arrangement is more convenient, saving space in the room and money in the owner's pocket.

So, we have a kitchen frame. Let's start drawing the lower cabinets.

Important! lower tier kitchen furniture should be already countertops by 100 mm. That is, the overall depth of the lower cabinet is 500 mm with a standard kitchen worktop 600 mm.

To correctly draw the lower cabinets, leave from the side of the wall 50 mm(technological clearance in case the walls are crooked) and 50 mm front (for ease of use of facades). Initially draw a dotted line at a distance 50 mm from the wall.

In those places where there are meters or pipes, the dotted line should bypass them by about 30 mm. We also draw a line from the face of the tabletop, stepping back 50 mm, on the sides, respectively, too.


Next, we draw a corner cabinet and the furniture that is tied by its size to the standards and protruding elements (hob, sink, cabinet near the counter). Corner cupboard it should be not less than 800 mm in each direction - this is important for the full opening of double facades.

The drawer for the hob and oven should be (preferably) under vent hole for the hood, a cabinet under the sink - where the drainage is.


Please note that on both sides hob remains the same distance 600 mm. Here you can place two lockers with hinged doors or drawers.

But I advise you to divide the remaining space and use it in the most functional way: install two mesh-cargo 200 mm and make two lockers with drawers 400 mm. Like this:


Now we are thinking over a locker near the window. There is a battery here, which will definitely interfere with the opening of the facade. Therefore, it is advisable to put there false panel (decorative strip in the color of the facade), thereby pushing the lower cabinet to the side to the depth of the entire battery. Now there is a distance under the window 300 mm, in which it is quite realistic to place a swing drawer with one door.

We pass to the radius part of the countertop. Under it you can put closet with curved facade if it is from MDF or natural wood, or - open decorative shelves. Most optimal size for both closed and open pedestal300 mm.

What we do is separate 300 mm from the edge of the tabletop and again draw a dotted line. In the remaining part, we again plan a hinged facade for a locker 300 mm.


The skeleton of the lower part of the kitchen is ready. Let's move on to the drawers.

So, I pick up an orange pencil, and right on top of the schematic tabletop I draw from the side of the wall 300 mm. Yes, standard depth hanging boxes300 mm. In addition, you need to immediately draw and corner trapezoid cabinet 600 x 600 mm to get the right start of self-design top cabinets.


The next step is to dress cabinet with decorative semi-circular shelves (300 mm), pull-out box (600 mm) and boiler box(relative to its dimensions).


We analyze the remaining dimensions and think over what the cabinets will be like there. Naturally, you need case for drying(Overall dimensions of the dish dryer are listed in the first part of the article).

I recommend placing it to the left of corner cabinet. And now it turns out that the drying dish will be located just above the cutlery tray. The rest of the space can be filled with hinged drawers with hinged facades.


All dimensions related to upper cabinets are best marked with the same contrasting color as the furniture itself.

In principle, the first stage of design is behind us. dimensions each element of the kitchen is known, it remains only to calculate the detailing.

Until then I'll make you happy 3D visualization of the future kitchen. Here is such a project turned out based on what we drew together


And here's how else you can do it based on the same dimensions. So to speak, ideas from the master :) In principle, the configuration of a kitchen set is limited not only by the size of the premises, but also by the style in which it is planned to be made.



Important! Lower height kitchen cabinets: 850-900 mm. Height of hanging boxes: 650-900 mm (depending on the height of the ceiling and your wishes).

In the next part of the article, I will dwell on each element of the kitchen set in detail, explain the principles of its assembly and help calculate the dimensions and number of parts ->

Do you agree with the opinion that absolutely everyone (without exception) needs kitchen furniture!

Some need it right now, others - in a year, third - in five years it will definitely need to be replaced already old kitchen to a new one.

And in view of the fact that the technology for manufacturing cabinet furniture (due to its simplicity) is available to absolutely everyone, it is quite possible to do it yourself.

We will look at some of the nuances that most people do not even know about.

The project is, by and large, a list of all the details of the upper and lower modules, canisters (with a scheme for their processing and gluing), countertop sizes (also with processing and gluing), and a list of all necessary fittings and fasteners.

This is enough to purchase materials, order their cutting and processing, purchase fittings, and, in the end, assemble and install the product.

But in order to get all this data necessary for "launching" it is necessary to do serious work- design a kitchen

I have already written more than once that this is the most important point the whole process.

And for this you need to do the following:

  • Take measurements of the room in which it should be installed
  • Taking into account the necessary built-in equipment and wishes for appearance need to sketch
  • Bring this sketch (taking into account the manufacturing technology and technical standards for built-in appliances) to working dimensions
  • each kitchen module
  • Make a scheme for gluing all the details with a furniture edge
  • Make a scheme for processing parts (if required) and cutting (and, if necessary, processing) countertops.
  • Decide on fittings and fasteners
  • Based on all this, calculate the cost of the future kitchen

As you can see, the project manufacturing algorithm is not complicated and quite understandable.

The very first step is to measure the room.

It must be done carefully, not forgetting that all furniture elements have strictly rectangular shapes.

Therefore, when measuring a room, you need to find its smallest dimensions.

Moreover, you need to make sure that the corners between the walls are straight (if the kitchen is to be corner).

The most difficult moment in the entire list above is the manufacture of a drawing (or sketch).

Here you need to take into account many points at the same time:

Dimensions of kitchen boxes

They should be comfortable for the work of a certain person (do not forget that the headset is always planned for a specific owner).

This is especially true for the height of the lower base (and, as a result, the distance between the upper and lower bases).

If, for example, the lower base must contain washing machine- its height, in any case, will be overestimated.

Location of embedded equipment

Here you need to start from what is not permissible in this matter.

For example, the oven or stove is placed "away" from the refrigerator, and the hob (stove) - from the sink.

Sink and cooking should not be near the kitchen cabinet.

The location of the modules, taking into account the convenience of their operation

It is also very important that it is convenient to work in the kitchen.

Working modules should be located in such a way that the hostess has "everything at hand."

There is even a certain rule on this subject, called the "rule of the working triangle."

Its essence lies in the fact that the three main work centers (refrigerator, stove and sink) should be within relative reach.

This rule is especially applicable to the design of corner kitchen sets.

There, these working zones can be placed in such a way that one or two steps are always enough to get from one zone to another.

Also, do not forget that the hood is always planned strictly above the stove (for this, it is better when the hood and stove have the same width, for example, 600 millimeters).

Module arrangement

Also, it is very important to choose correct design modules.

For example, the lower modules are more convenient to use when they have drawers.

I think there is enough advice on this topic.

Instruction

Start by measuring the room. Measure the width, length and height of your cuisine. Write down all your results. To draw a project cuisine competently and professionally, it is necessary to make drawings of the room in different projections (top view, side view and 3/4 view).

draw detailed plan, in which indicate all dimensions, including all kinds of protrusions / recesses, door / window openings and other elements present in this kitchen. Do not ignore the significant irregularities of the corners and walls of the room. Such subtleties must be taken into account when designing.

Put on the drawing all the items that you plan to place in the kitchen (furniture, household appliances, accessories). Indicate the location of heating radiators and pipes suitable for them.

Consider water and gas supply and sewerage schemes. Show on the plan the location of taps and valves, provide easy access to them.

In the case when the desired arrangement of furniture and appliances does not coincide with the distribution of water and gas, provide flexible hoses. Make sure that nothing interferes with the placement of interior items.

Take care of your power supply cuisine. Consider lighting, location and number of electrical outlets. Sketch the wiring diagram.

Draw the plan thoroughly. Consider the opening direction of the table doors and wall cabinets so that they do not interfere with your comfortable movement around the kitchen in Everyday life. When planning the height of hanging cabinets, first of all, focus on your height and convenience for you personally and your family members, and only then look at generally accepted standards and norms.

Be aware of common planning mistakes kitchen interior. Don't tear work surface tall cabinets or refrigerator. Do not place the refrigerator next to the stove. A working stove will heat the refrigerator, it will turn on more often, reducing its service life and increasing energy consumption. Also, the proximity of the refrigerator to the sink is not desirable - water and electricity are not the best combination in terms of security. Buying or designing furniture for cuisine take dimensions into account household appliances(stove, extractor fan, refrigerator, dishwasher/washing machine).

Building a drawing is a task that requires perseverance, patience and knowledge of the basics of geometry. Before proceeding to the drawing, study the theoretical part, which will describe in detail about projections, dimensions and construction rules. This will help you with your task.

You will need

  • perseverance

Instruction

Make sure everything you need is on your desktop. It would be a shame to interrupt work in search of a compass or raster. Make sure pencils are sharpened, erasers are nearby, rulers and triangles are all there. required sizes. If you will be drawing on a large sheet of paper, you will need a drawing board. Arrange for yourself sufficient lighting: if you are right-handed, then the light should fall on the left, at an angle of 45 degrees.

The execution of the drawing requires knowledge of GOSTs and standards. Buy yourself a collection of these rules and keep it close by when you are going to draw, the GOST guide will help you avoid many mistakes. Start drawing with a frame. Its dimensions are not arbitrary, but have very specific values ​​that you will quickly remember if you often encounter drawings.

Before starting the drawing, decide on the scale: it should not be too small, i.e. all its details could be freely seen without straining the eyesight. But too large a scale is not good either - you risk not being able to fit on a sheet of paper, and then the drawing will have to start over. Now you can start drawing. This process is time-consuming and requires considerable care and accuracy. Follow the axes - all parts must be strictly symmetrical. Draw parallel lines with a ruler and a 45 degree square. Be careful when drawing hatching - the distance between the lines should be exactly the same.

Everyone wants to create a design project cuisine according to your taste and preferences. But for this you sometimes have to go around a lot of furniture stores in search of that ideal option which you imagine in your imagination. Of course, you can apply for this service to professional designers, but such a service will cost you a tidy sum. Wouldn't it be better to try and learn all the tricks yourself? project ing cuisine?



You will need

  • Knowledge certain rules and standards of ergonomics, interior design, taste and sense of style.

Instruction

Mentally arrange all the furniture in its place. The only thing, probably, that can limit you in this is the inseparability of the design of the stove with work surfaces. Otherwise, you will choose. When all the furniture is mentally arranged, allocate space for the refrigerator and dining table.



The next step is to transfer this design- project, which you created in your mind, on paper. You can choose the scale yourself. First you draw the usual plan cuisine with current dimensions. On the same scale, indicate where household appliances and furniture are located. The second drawing will represent the image cuisine"in full face".

The most important is the last picture. On it, your kitchen should appear in a three-dimensional image. All. Project of your future cuisine ready. If you are good at graphic computer programs, you can project cuisine do in one of these programs. It will be very effective.



note

Don't be discouraged if the drawings don't turn out right away. As a rule, some of them end up in the basket anyway. Defects are easier to fix on paper than to do it all after the repair is completed.

Helpful advice

When you depict the kitchen "in front", make the drawing in color. This will then burn to correct emerging shortcomings. In this picture, there should be wall decoration with nearby furniture.

The first stage of creating a kitchen design is the development of a sketch, in accordance with which the space will be built. It is very difficult to keep in mind the design of the room and remember all the nuances, especially since the imaginary image of the interior is very different from the actual result. Therefore, it is worth taking the time to create a sketch.



You will need

  • - paper,
  • - pencil,
  • - ruler,
  • - roulette.

Instruction

Before sketching cuisine, measure the distances between walls, window and door, as well as floor and ceiling. Draw each wall of the room separately on a piece of paper and mark sockets, pipes, heaters, windows and doors on it.

So that you do not have to redraw the sketch several times, cut out rectangles and squares from colored paper that are proportional to the furnishings and lay them out on the diagram. Move and combine layouts until you reach a satisfactory result. After that, transfer the sketch to paper.

Think about what pieces of furniture you can place in this space. Draw the approximate location of cabinets and household appliances. Start with large items such as a refrigerator and a tall cabinet. Then draw floor cabinets and lastly hanging.

Determine what equipment can be built in and which devices need to be masked, for example, geyser, pipes and air duct. On the sketch, try to use the space as rationally as possible. cuisine to make it more functional. Remember the working triangle “refrigerator - sink - stove” and keep in mind that between these items there should be work surfaces for the convenience of working in the kitchen.

Windows and doors in the kitchen deserve special attention. Mark on the sketch the distance to which the door opens, so as not to block this area with furniture later. Windows should be freely accessible, as well as heating appliances. It is worth considering how to ensure unhindered air circulation in the kitchen.

Drawing a sketch cuisine pay attention to fire safety. Do not place a stove, especially a gas stove, in front of a window covered with flammable curtains. Also, do not hang cabinets over the hearth; an extractor hood should be placed in this place.

After you have sketched cuisine on paper, transfer it to a 3D model using a special computer program. Or contact the experts to create a more detailed project of the future cuisine, according to which it will be created to order.

You need to draw up a kitchen project before you start repair work, before purchase building materials. The project is necessary for proper placement gas equipment, water supply and sanitation systems.



Initial design stage

The kitchen is difficult place, in terms of design. It is necessary to take into account many nuances: where the sink will be located, where electrical devices, where gas or electric stove. The first step is to decide on the functional part of the kitchen. A list of all electrical and gas appliances, in order to properly do the wiring and provide the owners necessary quantity sockets.

During the repair, it is necessary to immediately provide for the installation of meters for water, gas, and the installation of an air conditioning system. Because if this is not done right away, in the future you will have to break what has already been repaired. The choice of materials is carried out in accordance with state standards.

Flammable, combustible mixtures and materials must not be used in the kitchen.

Create a kitchen project

An integral part of the kitchen is the kitchen set. Most of the time is devoted to its design. After all, you have to rationally place all the built-in appliances, make sure that the hostess feels comfortable while cooking. It is necessary to estimate the number of things and objects that need to be placed. Then decide on the number of cabinets - hanging or floor. Before designing a headset, you need to purchase all the equipment, including a refrigerator, in order to know exactly the dimensions. And it may turn out that the refrigerator does not fit and it has to be moved to another room or corridor.

Some software environments for interior design are freely available: KitchenDraw, Interior Design. You do not need to have programming skills to assemble your kitchen from separate modules. With the help of these programs, you can draw everything from the table, ending LED lamps, immediately set the color of the facades, the material from which the floor or walls will be made. In other words, you get a 3D model of the future kitchen.

Guided by a paper and electronic project, it is easier to select furniture, accessories, household appliances, building materials.

Lighting system

An important stage in the design of any room is light. It is necessary to take into account the level natural light and take care of the artificial. Dish sinks are most often located in the corner of the room, which is deprived of proper lighting. This should be taken into account. You can make built-in lamps in cabinets and bedside tables to see 100% of all their contents. You need to take care of the main light source.

Project apartments is the embodiment of your vision of the future home. As a rule, projects are created at the construction stage, which allows taking into account slightest nuances and design wishes, but projects are no less important for repairs.



You will need

  • Copy paper, pencils, measuring tape, paint if necessary.

Instruction

Be sure to draw a furniture layout on the project, indicate its color, the drawing can be done using a stencil. With stencils you can create many creative projects and images, such as various floral ornaments, animalistic, alphabets, stripes, geometric figures, etc. Use brushes as a form of stencil painting.

You can create your own hand drawn furniture design and draw furniture pieces. For example, draw an entire piece of furniture in one color and then draw the borders in a contrasting color. After that, use in general different color paint to draw spirals or dots.

Another furniture design idea is to just sketch the furniture in different patterns such as rings or dots or stripes.

Be sure to apply to the project apartments sizes, parameters and boundaries of various objects, including furniture, walls, doors and windows. If the project apartments is created in the form of a simplified scheme, then you should indicate the decoding of all symbols shown in the project

What should be considered when designing a kitchen yourself?

Arranging a kitchen for a good hostess is a serious puzzle. To make it convenient and comfortable to cook, when designing yourself, the following parameters should be taken into account in the project:

Functionality

The kitchen should be able to place not only the main appliances (refrigerator, stove, microwave oven), but also the appliances that we also often use. all kinds of mixers, toasters. After all, the use of high-tech equipment can free a person from domestic hardships. When designing kitchen furniture, it is easy to take into account additional space for all sorts of little things.

Ergonomics

By following a few rules when designing, you can increase the comfort of your kitchen:

rule 1: In the project, consider your habits (for example, if you like to cook in the oven, it will be easier for you if it is located at chest level)

rule 2: Consider the number of people who will use the kitchen, the number of seats and the size of the table depend on this.

rule 3: The main rule for the location of kitchen furniture, plumbing and functional areas is the work triangle. The calculation is that the hostess can move from the refrigerator to the stove, and from the stove to the sink without any obstacles, with as little effort as possible. Because it will allow the hostess to reduce physical activity and increase the productivity and functionality of the kitchen.

Style and colors

Color and style are the first things you need to decide when designing your own kitchen. Properly selected design will be the key Have a good mood not only the hostess, but also all family members. The program will offer you choose from a variety of styles:

Any even very demanding hostess can pick up suitable style. Choose a style that suits your lifestyle.

A difficult task is also when choosing a color scheme. Choosing a color first consider the size of the room. In small kitchens, light colors are appropriate pastel shades. Because dark and too bright tones will reduce its size, tire the eyes and depress the psyche. AT large kitchens apply saturated dark tones, but dilute them more light colors. Otherwise, the kitchen will look like an uncomfortable non-residential premises.

And most importantly, and a relentless rule: When you act as a designer of your kitchen, first of all create a cozy environment for yourself, and not an object of admiration for others.

Many of us today are trying to independently make repairs in our own apartment and think over the design of each room. Some people get it, some don't. In this article we will talk about how to draw a kitchen correctly, make a working drawing that will allow you to visually see all the problems of space, plan the location of furniture and appliances. If you manage to successfully practice on the example of such a project, you can then take the sketch of the new kitchen as a basis and take measurements of other rooms.

Main stages of work

In order to properly draw up a kitchen project on your own, you need to take as a basis a scheme consisting of several stages:

  • Stage number 1 - recording the correct dimensions.
  • Stage number 2 - implementation of planning.
  • Stage number 3 - the choice of the location of the kitchen set.
  • Stage number 4 - the location of equipment.

We take measurements

Before starting work, we arm ourselves with a white sheet of paper and a pencil, pick up a tape measure and go to measure the walls and ceiling height. In order to create right project kitchen, it is necessary to clearly indicate on the sheet all existing boundaries: the length and width of the walls, the height from floor to ceiling. Next, we mark on the sketch the location of windows and doors, as well as all technical nodes(ventilation duct, sewer drain).

We carry out interior planning

After the first work is done, you can start planning the interior of the kitchen. It will be much easier to draw a sketch if you know what shape the kitchen set should be, what style, where the hob will be located, and where the refrigerator will be. If there is no project in mind yet, the layout of the future kitchen interior is 3 sq.m. and more, begins with placing a working triangle on the sketch. It is important, at least schematically, to indicate the location of the stove, sink and the place where the cutting of products will then take place.

Note! It is important to draw a picture in which the three marked zones will be located correctly: the sink, for example, should not be far from the sewer drain, the hob - from gas pipe and holes for ventilation. The refrigerator should not be placed next to the radiator and oven.

Choosing the location of the kitchen set

After the designated items are arranged, you can continue to plan the kitchen design project and form future interior. The main task at this stage is to choose correct location kitchen set. Furniture can be arranged in a line, choose an angular layout plan, design a U-shaped kitchen design. Experts, answering the question of how to do it better, how to draw a reliable kitchen project, advise starting from the size of the room.



Types of location of the kitchen set

If the room is small, the choice is small. Linear and corner option the location of the kitchen set in this case will be most suitable. If the room of the room has a volume of 12 sq.m. and more, you can safely experiment and try all the above options for arranging furniture. The main thing is to draw the location points of the working triangle, and then fill it with furniture equipment. That will be much easier.

Note! When decorating the kitchen yourself, remember that it is imperative to leave space for dining area. You can execute it in different ways: it can be a full-fledged table with chairs, then it is better to choose angular arrangement headset, or bar counter. The main thing is to make a plan and shape the future interior at the family council. Then everyone will feel quite comfortable.

We note the location of household appliances

After the work done, the drawing is already half filled. Then you can safely proceed to the design of the final furniture equipment. At this stage, it is important to make a list of all household appliances and think about where, what will be: refrigerator, oven, oven, washing machine and dishwasher, microwave, TV. At this stage, beginners always make major mistakes. Anyone who wants to prevent them should heed the opinion experienced designers. They recommend:

  • Arrange a sink and washing machine or dishwasher as close as possible to sewer drain and water pipes.
  • Position the oven or hob with an oven at a distance of no more than three meters from the gas pipe.
  • The distance between the main points of the working triangle (stove-refrigerator-sink) should not exceed 2 meters.
  • When determining the location of the refrigerator, it is important not to allow it to be located next to the battery and the stove. It is undesirable to put it where there is contact with direct rays of light.
  • When drawing up a project plan, thinking over the interior of the kitchen, arranging the appliances, mark the location of the outlets in the figure. Their absence will not allow you to connect the device to the mains. To solve the problem, then extension cords will help, but the wires under your feet in the kitchen are not very practical.


When all the work is done, all lower tier The kitchen should already be completely ready. Only after that you can start working on the creation of the upper tier of the headset. The depth of the upper drawers should be less than the depth bottom cabinets. Optimal solution- 30 cm. Talking about how to make the interior harmonious, experts recommend starting to make up the upper tier from the location of the hood and drying for wet dishes. It is better to place the dryer directly under the sink, and the hood - directly under the stove. The final touch at this stage should be the choice of how to open the doors of the upper cabinets (left-right, up-down).

And finally, we decide on the choice of color, texture and style of the future kitchen. There are no restrictions here, but there are general recommendations, allowing you to create a homely warm interior.

If the windows of the room face north side, the choice of palette should be done in favor of warm, light colors. And vice versa, if the kitchen windows face south side, you should choose cold paints. To see which options are best to use in this case, they will help already finished projects painted kitchen. There are also photo collections on our website, they clearly demonstrate how easy it is to make a harmonious interior.

Exist design tricks, allowing a small-sized room to be filled with air, large rooms make it cozy low ceilings lift visually. Special programs of online systems help to use them and revive the drawn plan. Let's talk about them a little.

Programs to help
