Modern kitchen sets are made from simple modular elements. The ease of working with materials will make the assembly process simple and fun. As simple as playing lego. In addition, assembling furniture with your own hands will save a decent amount of money. Assembly firms value the cost of their work very highly: up to half of the entire budget.

These funds can be spent on more expensive and beautiful facades. Refusing the help of specialists, you can assemble a headset that meets the wishes of the owner to the maximum extent.

Making the kitchen of your dreams: varieties

Save

Before you start designing a headset, you should decide how it will fit into the overall layout of the interior of the room. The use of simple modular elements will solve both issues of functionality and ease of assembly and operation. The choice of layout also depends on the personal preferences of the assembler. There are the following main types of kitchen sets according to the design scheme:

Linear. The simplest. Used in long rooms. The whole set goes along one wall. As a rule, it is used in narrow kitchens.
Corner. Very compact and difficult option. With such a layout, it is very important to correctly calculate the corner modules in which the sink is most often placed. You have to take into account all the irregularities of the interior of the room.
In the shape of the letter "P". This design can be used in spacious rooms. Excess space is occupied by functional modules. You can even place a dining table in the center.
Peninsular. Part of the headset in this layout can act as a bar or working surface. Looks very stylish and effective.

Features of the relative position

When choosing a kitchen layout option, there are some features to consider. They are connected with the mutual arrangement of its various modules. Below is a list of key rules.

Do not place gas pipes and flexible hoses above or below the communications of the plumbing system.
The gas stove or hob should be at a distance of 1.5-2 m from the main gas pipe.
The sink and the gas pipe are removed from each other at a distance of 50-80 cm.

Save

The latter is especially important in corner layouts. They should not contain a sink and gas stove immediately on both sides of the corner cabinet. There is always a chance that the hostess will flood the burning gas burner or put a towel on it.

General design workflow

Save

Designing circuits is a very important and difficult part when assembling a kitchen set. It can be divided into several key stages:

the material from which the frame part of the product will be made is selected;
materials are selected for the manufacture of the most expensive items headset - facades and countertops;
specific models of fittings are defined, such as handles, hinges and door closing mechanisms.
the dimensions of the room in which the furniture will be placed are measured, taking into account the requirements of safety and convenience;
a design scheme is created, which accurately indicates the location of all modules (lockers, drawers, cabinets, sink, stove);
the desired dimensions of the headset modules are given to physical dimensions(room dimensions, material thickness, location of air ducts, pipes and connections).

After completing these steps, you can proceed with the assembly.

Material selection

Carrier module materials

Most of load-bearing elements will be hidden behind the facades and under the countertop. The cheapest and most common today is chipboard with a laminated coating (chipboard). It goes very well with any facade materials. At the same time, there is a wide choice decorative coatings. Maximum length cannot exceed 3.5 m. This length is quite enough for the manufacture of any modules.

The thickness of the chipboard is selected as follows:

16 mm - for side walls and shelves;
18 mm - for the base of the bottom row of pedestals;
10 mm - for decorative inserts.

Tabletops can be created from chipboard with a thickness of 24–32 mm. With sufficient funds, you can use more expensive materials: fake diamond, acrylic, glass, natural stone. There are even styling options. decorative tiles on the surface of its functional areas.

Facades and fittings

Facades are the face of the kitchen set. Their main function is aesthetics. The most common facade material today is MDF. Made from environmentally friendly material, they are covered with various decorative films that form color and texture. Save on this material is not worth it. There is nothing to worry about if its share of the entire budget is more than half of the total.

If the facades perform a decorative function, then the fittings mainly perform a functional one. Handles are an exception - they should look beautiful. Without functional elements, all furniture will be just a set of empty drawers in which it will be difficult to find the right thing.

Design features of individual elements

In the kitchen wall, everything is located in two rows:

lower - cabinets with doors or drawers;
upper - cabinets with doors or open.

At the same time, the construction has a number of features, depending on where they are located.

Standard

Save

Along the straight sections of the kitchen are the simplest design modules: cabinets and cabinets. The drawing of a standard locker starts with two side planks. They are made from 16 mm chipboard. They are located vertically. Then the horizontal boards are placed end-to-end between the vertical ones. The result is a cabinet-box. The thickness of the material is taken the same. For hinged ones, it is the side walls that are load-bearing. For them, elements of the fastening system are attached.

The cabinet is made differently. First, the bottom board is taken - chipboard 18 mm. Two lateral ones, 16 mm thick, are placed on it. From above, between the side elements, guide bars are placed. They don't even need to be laminated on all sides. A countertop will subsequently be attached to them, which will hide the slats. At the bottom of the pedestal, all the load falls on the bottom. Since the finish cover (tabletop) is not immediately attached, only stiffeners are placed.

The rear wall, made of 4 mm thick fiberboard, is placed uniformly for the cabinet and cabinet. At the design stage, this thickness cannot be neglected. All adjacent modules are interconnected with special ties. They cannot be covered with shelves. Mounting fasteners will require drilling holes with a diameter of 6-8 mm.

All sliding components, such as drawers, are designed with a margin for the thickness of the fittings. For example, if the roller guides are 22 mm thick and the side walls are 16 mm each, then the planned dimension is taken for the width of the box minus the sum: 16 + 22 + 22 + 16 mm. Consistently go: wall, guide, box, guide and wall.

non-standard

In any kitchen, you will definitely find such interior elements as pipes, protrusions for an air duct, sloping walls, etc. In this case, cabinets and cabinets will play not so much the function of storing things as masking interior flaws.

Hiding a niche is easy enough. To do this, you just need to make the depth of the cabinet more by the amount of the protrusion. And the protrusions will already be cut out of the furniture elements, and "eat" part usable space. Shelves can also be cut to size.

The pipes inside the cabinets will require an appropriate recess. If part of the pipe passes over the apron, you can make an additional box according to the color of the apron or countertop. There are times when sewer pipes protrude more than 30 cm from the wall. You can hide them with a beveled product. One side of which has a wall with a depth of standard 30 cm, the second - by an amount sufficient to mask pipes, for example, 50.

Features of the corner kitchen components

Corner cabinets and cabinets in the inner curve of the kitchen are the most difficult to design. It is not very noticeable in the drawing that opening doors will block access to neighboring ones. In this case, a huge space is formed, to the far corners of which it is difficult to get close. Most often in corner cabinet have a sink instantaneous water heater and a trash can. The tabletop is made with a small margin in depth so that it protrudes 2-3 cm and hides the door.

Save

A corner cabinet can mask the water supply communications system, which is most often located in the corner. Such an element of furniture must be made with a cut of 45 °. It should be done in such a way that the horizontal partitions are located inside the vertical ones. If the confusion of this sequence is forgivable, then the door of the facade simply will not fall into place.

facade design

Despite its simplicity, for the elements of the facade, it is necessary to make drawings that indicate the dimensions. Door leaves can be both overhead and internal. The way they are placed depends entirely on the choice of loops. Their width should be made with a margin of 4-5 mm on each side. For example, with a cabinet width of 0.6 m, the horizontal dimensions of the doors are 29.2 centimeters each.

Another difficult moment that everyone has facade structures: special drank under the loop dies. It is done, as a rule, with special cutters. The drilling depth of the recesses for some hinges may differ from the standard. Loops allow adjustment in depth. The placement of the dies in this case can have a spread of 2-6 mm from the edge of the door.

Taking room measurements

Save

When performing measurements, it is necessary to take into account a number of features. Despite the fact that you want to fill the entire space of the room along the wall as much as possible, some areas will remain blind. First of all, this concerns the basement. A gap of 10-15 cm under the ceiling does nothing. If there is a hood right under the ceiling, then the border should be drawn along its lower level. At a lower position air vent air ducts are led in the upper cabinets, which leads to a loss of internal space.

Below the floor stumbles 7-10 cm. Most kitchen cabinets placed on special legs that allow you to change their height. They can withstand a load of up to 200-300 kg per element. The number of legs must be taken based on the design weight of the cabinet with the things stored in it. When passing pipes of the heating system, a margin of 5-10 cm should be provided. It is better to hang a curtain in this place. This will hide the pipes, while maintaining free access to them.

Save

The countertop can fit closely to the rest of the walls. The lower cabinets themselves will stand 100 mm from the wall, allowing you to carry out communication elements behind them: gas hoses, water supply, sewer pipes. Before installation, it is better to lay out the apron on the wall. Made from tiles, it will take an additional 10-15mm. In its absence, this margin should be taken into account when designing.

Layout of modular elements

Save

schematic drawing kitchen furniture compiled at this stage. It is necessary to arrange all cabinets of the upper row and cabinets of the lower one in such a way that it is convenient to work with them later. You should be very scrupulous about the location of such important elements of the kitchen as a sink, hob and refrigerator. It is between them that the hostess will have to run the most. When arranging them, the rule of a functional triangle is used.

The plate is located in the center. It is advisable to place it immediately under the duct. This will allow you to fix the hood in the same place and avoid placing long and bulky boxes. The stove is often worked with two hands.

They also work with both hands at the sink. It should be located on one side of the stove, for example, on the right. The refrigerator should be placed on the other side. In our case, on the left. It is better to make the distance between the sink and the stove no more than 1.5 m. It is better to place the refrigerator at a smaller distance, for example, 1.2 m. It will be convenient to arrange a cutting table in the area between the refrigerator and the stove. This will save energy when pulling out products before cutting.

In addition to the horizontal layout, ergonomic rules should be taken into account when removing the upper cabinets. They should be located in such a way that the lower edge is at the level of the hostess's chest. The top shelf should be accessible from the floor at arm's length. When choosing the height of the cabinets to the ceiling, it will be possible to get to the top shelf only from the stool.

Drawing of a homemade kitchen set with dimensions

When designing the dimensions of cabinets and cabinets, several rules should be taken into account for choosing sizes that have already become the standard:

30 cm - the depth of the upper;
60 cm - depth of the bottom row of pedestals;
85 cm - the height at which the countertop is located;
72 cm or up to the ceiling, minus the basement zone - the height of the cabinets;
35-80 cm - the width of cabinets with one or two doors.

Regarding the last size, it should be noted that with a standard swing door opening, with a leaf width of 40 cm, the structure will sag greatly. If you make a cabinet with two doors with a width of more than 80 cm, then there will be excessive pressure on the hinges. An additional reinforcement of 3 or 4 loops will look ugly and take up a lot of space inside.

A homemade kitchen with a mezzanine board located under the plinth will look beautiful. At the same time, you can leave a distance between it and a number of cabinets. Equipped lighting fixtures, it will perform not only a decorative function, but will also become a lighting fixture.

Since the cabinets are not mounted close to the wall, their depth is chosen to be only 45-50 cm. But at the same time, the facades will be located at a distance of 60 cm (plus the thickness of the facade) from the wall. This is the width of standard countertops.

If it is not possible to buy ready-made furniture, you can make a kitchen set with your own hands. This is profitable solution for small spaces, for which it is difficult to select kits of modules from manufacturers.

Pros and cons of self-creation of a kitchen set

Many consumers are confident that cabinet furniture is manufactured in large workshops under the control of complex equipment. But in reality, the vast majority of inexpensive modular kitchens produced by private companies. There is nothing complicated in this process. Therefore, there are no obstacles to making a kitchen set at home with your own hands.

In large workshops, canvases are cut, from which modules are subsequently assembled. You can also do sawing yourself with a jigsaw. In this case, it is unlikely that it will be possible to achieve high dimensional accuracy of the parts. But this method also allows you to get furniture no worse than purchased. How to make a kitchen set with your own hands, step-by-step instructions will tell you.

The advantages of this approach to arranging the kitchen are several:

the ability to fit in a small space maximum useful elements: drawers, bottle holders, narrow and hanging compartments;
selection of the most suitable facade design;
saving money;
getting useful experience.

Minus in self-manufacturing there is only 1 furniture - these are labor and time costs.

Design Choice

Kitchen sets can have a variety of colors and designs. When choosing a design, consider several points:

configuration and dimensions of the room;
refrigerator location;
the need to embed household appliances under the table;
dominant colors in the interior of the kitchen;
way to illuminate the work surface.

Most of the kitchens offered by manufacturers are modular designs. Similar ones can be collected from furniture panels with your own hands.

Any headset should have 3 lines:

Lower, or base. These are cabinets and household appliances located under the countertop. At this level, the most bulky items are located. Cabinets are equipped with drawers.
Medium, or work surface. It includes several elements: a countertop and everything that is on it: a sink, a hob. When choosing a headset design, it is important to choose the right height for this line. It should be as convenient as possible for all family members. The middle line can be a broken line, combining elements of different heights. This is a creative trend in the design of kitchen furniture.
Upper. At this level are wall cabinets.

Italian manufacturers often include 1 or 2 vertical lines in their headset models. They can be created with high narrow pencil cases, refrigerator, a complex of cabinets and cabinets.

In kitchen design crucial It has color scheme and façade design. A practical option is a high-strength plastic finish.

Other formatting methods are also possible:

glass or painted stained-glass windows;
rattan;
embossed surface.

There is such an option for a kitchen set as a monoblock. It consists of several different levels of cabinets, united by one tabletop. Such models are designed in high-tech, techno or neo-baroque styles.

AT corner headsets the location relative to each other of the refrigerator, sink and hob(or plates). An equilateral triangle with a side length of 150 cm is considered optimal.

Preparatory work

Step-by-step instructions will help you make the right kitchen set. Thanks to it, you can avoid most of the mistakes made by beginners.

Room and dimensions

The first stage in the development of the design of the modules is the measurement of the kitchen in which it will be installed. For this purpose you will need:

roulette;
pencil;
piece of paper.

In the kitchen, all distances are measured and recorded. Consider the location of plumbing and sewer pipes, air vent. These data will later be needed to draw up furniture drawings. Without them, it is impossible to make a high-quality kitchen set with your own hands. All distances are measured to the nearest millimeter. A laser range finder will be of great help in this.

Preparation of drawings and diagrams

Regardless of whether you will cut out the parts yourself or order their manufacture in a furniture production, you will need drawings and diagrams. They are necessary for cutting material. Schemes can be sketched by hand, but more right decision 3D modeling programs will be used. With their help, they create a full-fledged project for a kitchen set.

When designing the cabinets of the lower line, the dimensions of the equipment that will be located under the countertop or built-in are taken into account. At the design stage, they also solve the issue of how to install the hood and bring it into the ventilation system.

Necessary materials and tools

Kitchen cabinets are made from different materials. Featured:

chipboard;
furniture boards;
tree array.

At the stage of design planning and design selection, the issue with the material is resolved. Chipboard - the same chipboard made of chipboard, but laminated. Since the surface of the canvas is protected, this gives the products strength and moisture resistance. But the structure of the panels remains just as loose, poorly holding the fastening elements of cabinets and cabinets.

More durable material - MDF. In its production, substances harmful to human health are not used: phenol and various resins. Cloths are obtained by vacuum pressing wood dust. front side pasted over with laminated paper or veneer. Manufacturers offer a wide range of options for decorating these panels.

Furniture panels are an advantageous material for doing your own kitchen set. Shields are made from thin boards of pine, birch, oak and other types of wood. Boards are firmly connected to each other by gluing.

You can also make a kitchen set of drywall with your own hands. All its elements are stationary and non-separable. The frame is mounted from a metal profile. Curvilinear wall cabinets and cabinets are made from drywall, which gives the kitchen a spectacular and unique look. For cutting parts, moisture-resistant GKL with a thickness of 12 mm or more is used. The dimensions of the cabinets of such a kitchen can be very different.

For work on the manufacture and assembly of furniture, the following tools will be required:

measuring (level, tape measure, ruler);
jigsaw;
screwdriver;
screwdriver set;
pliers;
a hammer;
clamps;
construction stapler and staples;
square.

In the process of manufacturing kitchen furniture, it becomes necessary to protect the ends of each element of cabinets and cabinets. To do this, stick a special tape-edge.

If she has adhesive base, fixing is carried out with an iron or hair dryer. If the edge is glueless, it is attached to the surfaces by gluing. The process of finishing the ends is called edging.

To assemble the parts of the kitchen set, you will need the following accessories:

door hinges for swing cabinets(overhead, mortise, furniture makers prefer to install specialized crocodile loops);
door handles;
tuba legs;
wall mounts for wall cabinets;
guides: ball or roller;
metal boxes for drawers with a large load;
retractable systems Cargo.

Parts can be fastened using tongues or special confirmatory screws.

Assembly of elements

Kitchen set they are assembled with their own hands from separate parts, which are cut to the specified dimensions. For those who do not have experience in the manufacture of cabinet furniture, it is recommended to first perform a rough assembly. For this, thin black self-tapping screws are suitable, which are 1-2 cm smaller than those selected as fasteners. After that, it will become clear how to properly perform sawing, making parts, and what mistakes were made.

Step-by-step instructions will help you not to make a mistake in the sequence of work during self-assembly.

Cabinet assembly technique:

The canvas, which will be the bottom of the cabinet (horizontal), is laid on a flat surface.
A side wall is attached to the horizontal at a right angle.
Drill with special drill(thin) drill holes for confirmations. The drill should pass through the side wall web and enter the end of the horizontal.
Screw in the screws.
Attach the second side wall in the same way.
Connect the side walls to the back with self-tapping screws.
Attach drawer rails.
Doors for the kitchen set are hung on crocodile loops.

Installation of upper cabinets is similar:

Collect the bottom and side walls.
Reinforce the design with rear wall.
Attach the upper horizontal.
Mount shelves
Hang doors.

The back walls are made from fiberboard sheets and fasten not on self-tapping screws, but on brackets. You can use thin nails and a hammer for this purpose. If the structure is massive, the back wall is fixed with screws.

To install the legs, the cabinet is laid on its side. Find the central attachment point of each support. The legs should be located 50 mm from each edge of the bottom horizontal. Best Choice there will be metal height-adjustable supports.

Drawer assembly:

With the help of confirmations, 4 strips are assembled together so that a box is obtained without a bottom and a lid.
Diagonals are measured, the lengths of which must match.
Guides are attached to both side walls of the box.
Install the box on the panel, which will serve as the bottom, and connect these elements with confirmations.
A facade is installed on the front bar. A variant is possible when the front part of the front bar acts as it. But this way of designing kitchens is rarely used.
Install the handle.

Hello dear friends.

It is this moment, by and large, most interesting to beginner furniture makers.

In this article, I will try to talk about it, and briefly describe the whole process from design to installation.

So, from the very beginning, you need to study the room where it is planned to manufacture a kitchen set, and decide (in in general terms), with the fact that the manufacture of which headset (in this particular room) makes sense. For example, if the room is not large, then, most likely, you need to make a direct kitchen in it, which occupies the least amount of free space.

If the room is large, then the kitchen can be made corner, U-shaped, island, but whatever. Plus, on big kitchen there is an opportunity to "turn around design ideas"!

But design is a separate topic, we will not touch it, but we will go further.

When the configuration of the future product is determined (taking into account all the nuances of the room), you can proceed to measuring the room.

I won’t write much about measurement, you can read on this topic, but about how to draw it graphically correctly -.

Here, at the measurement, it is already possible to “sketch” a sketch of the future kitchen, and decide on overall dimensions(roughly) that this particular kitchen (which is on the sketch) is suitable for this room.

On this, organizational issues are running out. It's time for design.

The measurement of the premises and the creation of the project are the most crucial moments in the entire process, therefore, they must be taken very seriously, without haste, with double-checking.

How is the project done?

First, gaps are given for the lower and upper kitchen bases, after which, the overall dimensions are divided into parts (for modules), the alignment of the modules is calculated (for example, the lower module under hob and the upper module for the hood), the position of all built-in appliances is distributed, in a word, the overall dimensions are divided into the dimensions of individual modules.

After that, each module is calculated in detail.

This work is already better done in the program (, for example).

If the set to be installed is angular or U-shaped, then the lower base is installed completely, with all the corner elements, after which the countertops are installed.

But, in this case, two corner element bottom, were installed after the main base was installed, and the countertop was fixed on it. But, it is better for beginners not to do this, but to do as it is said in the first case.

After installing the bottom, the top is hung.

An axis is marked on the wall, on which it is hung mounting plate, on which, in turn, the upper modules are hung.

Today, the kitchen is the place where the whole family most often comes together. Long gone are the days when the entire population of the apartment gathered in the living room in front of the TV. The fact is that now it has become more convenient to find all the movies and programs to your liking on computers or tablets. Nevertheless, a common breakfast, dinner, and just evening gatherings with tea remained, that is, the importance of this room cannot be underestimated. Naturally, all of the above does not apply to those people whose apartments have a separate dining room. In addition, food preparation and storage of all utensils are also very important, and convenience and comfort cannot be neglected in this regard.

How to make a kitchen with your own hands. Step-by-step instruction

Now we will not analyze the situation when the room intended for the kitchen is not prepared for this purpose at all - that is, there are no pipes, electricity and other things in it.

It is best to take for reality a room with which you can work. Walls have already been erected in it, laid flooring, the ceiling is made and communications are carried out.

Planning

First of all, draw a plan of the room on paper. First, a general one is created, since it will be necessary to measure the height and width of the walls, any walls, window sill gaps, etc. (the latter, by the way, can later be used as part of the countertop). In addition to all of the above, household communications should also be included in the plan. It should indicate where there is wiring, where the gas pipe goes, and also note the water supply and more.

But before you wonder how to make a kitchen with your own hands, you need to decide on its shape. It can be linear, that is, lined up along one wall, L-shaped or corner, or U-shaped. The latter type is usually chosen when a room with a separate entrance is allocated for the kitchen.

Already now, decide where you will store the dishes, where you will put the refrigerator, where you will place the work surfaces, stove, sink, and also how the cabinets will stand. Naturally, the plate should be placed closer to gas pipe, a refrigerator or an electric stove - to sockets, and a sink - closer to the water supply. This is logical, so you can avoid unnecessary costs.

Drawing of the future kitchen

Here you need to display all the products that will be used. That is, each bedside table, cabinet and sink must be drawn. Dimensions also need to be affixed - this avoids confusion. Particular attention should be paid to the height of the countertop. It is determined by the height of the person who will most often work in the kitchen. You also need to correlate the dimensions of future bedside tables, drawers, tables and stoves with the countertop.

It should be displayed in the drawing what materials the future pieces of furniture will be made of, not only their facades, but also the frames. Again, the countertop needs special attention. Then, separately, choose household appliances.

There is a way to make your choice easier. It will come in handy, because in a two-dimensional drawing it is not always possible to determine how certain devices, surfaces, etc. will look. Therefore, you can use fashion magazines, or ask friends whose existing options designs you like, how to make a kitchen with your own hands. Photos from magazines will help you deal with many difficulties. Find the right design for sure. In addition, today there are a sufficient number of programs, having worked with which, you can create a three-dimensional, even interactive, kitchen drawing. No special skills are required here (if you have already old enough children who understand computers, entrust it to them. This way you can save time and let the children know that they are trusted).

Materials for making furniture

How to make a kitchen with your own hands so that it is durable, comfortable and of high quality? In fact, there is nothing complicated here. The easiest way will be with lockers, which, in fact, you need to do yourself.

Sidewalls are best made from 16 mm MDF - it is suitable for both cabinets and shelves or cabinets. Side walls boxes can be made from half-centimeter fiberboard. The main thing is to purchase its laminated version. The back walls can be made of plywood - they are the most unused, and generally remain almost invisible. In addition, if any problems arise, they are easy to remove or replace. Doors, if you do not have the proper experience, it is better to buy separately - they are sold in construction supermarkets, and therefore this will not be a particular problem (and it is better to pick up doors first, and only then make cabinets, instead of adjusting everything at the last moment).

A separate issue is the countertop. It is also best to purchase it separately. It will be good here a natural stone or material similar in composition and properties. If you want to do this yourself, then you can use a thick chipboard, about three centimeters (but a little more is better). Before installation, you need to cover it with several layers. protective equipment so that the tree is not damaged due to excess moisture.

In addition, you will need all sorts of fittings - the list is quite long. Here are euro screws, and hinges with handles, ball or roller guides, legs for cabinets, edges, as well as shelf supports, and, of course, corners. The most important thing here is not to forget to buy something. These are all trifles, but they can become decisive in the question of how to do it. cozy kitchen with your own hands.

Even more important here is only the purchase of household appliances - few people can make a sink or stove on their own, and therefore they must be purchased separately. It is better to start choosing right away, since the dimensions of the same stove must match the rest of the work surfaces, otherwise it will look pretty ridiculous.

Required Tools

These tools will be needed not only for those who are going to do the whole room from start to finish on their own, but also for people who are annoyed by minor defects and other troubles. How to make repairs in the kitchen with your own hands? This question is much more common than the one above. But you will need quite different “helpers” here - from power tools this is a drill and a screwdriver, as well as a jigsaw (the latter is for those who will cut the purchased tree themselves). In addition, you will need a tape measure, a pencil, a building level and a square. A construction knife, a hacksaw for wood, as well as sandpaper. In addition, there are more important point screwdriver and wrenches- doors, as well as some other details, must be carefully screwed to the walls or floor.

How to make a corner kitchen with your own hands?

In fact, the action plan described above is also suitable for a corner kitchen. But they are more common than linear ones, simply because for small spaces this is the only way to build a comfortable and large work surface.

Differences begin exactly where you think - in the corner. It is this place that will have to be thought out more carefully than the rest, simply because if you make just a right angle, most of the work surface will be inaccessible. So you have to go out and work on these places longer, making a smooth transition from one surface to another. In addition, the same should be done with hanging and floor cabinets.

Summer kitchen

Naturally, in the country it will be slightly different from its urban counterparts, but not so much that the work plan becomes completely different. So the usual country kitchen will be almost the same as the one in your apartment, and therefore you just need to follow the above plan. But the summer room is something completely different.

So how to make a kitchen in the country with your own hands? It is usually distinguished by the absence of walls, and also by the fact that it stands right in the courtyard, on the site. It is not hot there, and therefore this design is ideal in the period from late spring to mid-autumn. Naturally, both the construction and the layout will vary significantly.

The first difference here is the foundation. It must be strong enough to support the weight of not only the structure, but also all people. Sometimes this number can reach a dozen or even a dozen, which together has a significant weight. Therefore, the foundation is best made of stone. The building itself is built of wood - it is light and when processed protective compounds can withstand both weather and climatic conditions, and working features like heat and an abundance of moisture.

The walls, even if they are erected, do not cover the kitchen from all sides - usually from three. In addition, they are solid somewhere in the middle (this is done to cover the furniture), and then you can already equip a wooden grid or even use columns, leaving open space. A gable is usually laid on top light roof with appropriate additions in the form of drains for water and other things.

It is also easier with furniture here - there is no need to make places for storing utensils. So everything will consist of a work surface, a stove (often electric), a brazier that can be made removable, and also, in extravagant versions, an oven. In addition, if the summer room is large enough, then it can also serve as a gazebo and an external veranda.

For kids

How to make a children's kitchen with your own hands? In fact, it is difficult to realize the connection between real and children's cuisine. Nevertheless, it exists. Children develop, and therefore they have new interests. If you want to involve them in cooking in the future, then it would be wise to give them a children's kitchen.
