Small kitchen equipment. Planning and renovating a small kitchen

In fact, only modern dimensional new buildings can please their owners with the scale of the premises and a spacious kitchen as well. In the houses of the old fund, "Khrushchev", typical serial houses of 1950-2000. in most cases, this room has a very modest size of up to 10 square meters. m, and often even 4 or 5 sq. m. The height of the ceilings in these houses is most often 2.4 - 2.75 m. m and height up to 3.5 m.

In addition, such houses often have their own design features. Particularly specific houses are old pre-revolutionary buildings, in which partitions and beams are often made of wood and need to be strengthened, and “Khrushchev”, with their thin walls of 40 mm, poor hydro, heat, sound insulation and gas water heaters.

Therefore, the repair of a small kitchen not in a new building causes obvious difficulties - after all, you need not just do Beautiful design, but also, if necessary, insulate, update, replace, reschedule, relocate, demolish, erect ... By the way, the opinion that repairs small kitchen- budgetary, not always true. After all, often to save space you need to use non-standard ideas and bespoke solutions. The best way save money in this case - do most of the work with your own hands.

But do not get scared ahead of time and do not lose enthusiasm, because you have a big, sometimes nervous and, nevertheless, very interesting work ahead of you.

Let them inspire you big windows or beautiful view of them, the presence of a loggia, a non-standard niche, the location of the kitchen on sunny side or simply that this is your favorite home.

What can and should be done during the repair process?

During the capital or cosmetic repairs small kitchen can / should:

Strengthen, level and trim partitions;
Demolish and/or erect walls;
Install sliding doors;
Align and refinish the floor and ceiling;
Align window openings, expand / narrow /, insert new windows, if they do not already exist;
Strengthen, insulate, soundproof walls and floors if necessary;
Re-wiring;
Replace batteries;
Replace / relocate / hide / beat all communications in the interior: old pipes, gas pipeline, gas water heater, ventilation duct.

At the same time, the main task in repairing a small kitchen is to preserve and optimize its space as much as possible.

To make repairs in a small kitchen, you need to go through the steps in the following sequence:

Generating ideas, drafting, planning;
Selection and purchase of building / finishing materials;
Dismantling of old coatings from walls, ceilings and floors;
Remodeling with demolition / erection of walls / creation of an arch, etc.;
Preparatory work: leveling the floor (creating a new screed), installing electrical wiring, sewer and water pipes, leveling the walls with putty, priming the ceiling and walls;
Finishing - ceiling decoration, installation of switches and sockets, installation floor covering.
and installation plumbing fixtures and household appliances.

Floor repair

First you need to level the floor, it is better to do this thin layer screeds. Keep in mind that a thick and heavy layer of cement-sand leveling coating will not withstand every floor in typical house. How to effectively level the floor in a small and low kitchen with a minimum thickness of the screed, see this video by Alexei Zemskov:

: ceramic tiles, porcelain tile, stone, commercial/semi-commercial type linoleum and moisture-resistant laminate;
If the area of the room exceeds 7 sq. meters or repairs are carried out in a combined space, then you can separate the dining and working areas or the kitchen and recreation areas. To do this, you need to make a combined floor covering that combines different materials or one material from different collections.

Wall repair

In the renovation process, old walls often need to be leveled first. How to do this, preserving, as far as possible, centimeters and even millimeters of a small-sized kitchen?

The simplest and effective method- alignment with beacons, but then the plaster layer may be too thick. Therefore, differences up to 60 mm in the partitions are best leveled with several layers of starting putty.

If the wall protrudes locally in one place, but in general it is straight, then in order to save costs and precious centimeters, you can simply beat off the protrusion with a perforator and then trim the wall with putty.

You can sheathe the walls with thin sheets of drywall. If you want to insulate and soundproof the kitchen, re-lay and hide communications, then drywall sheets must be installed on the frame, but this way you will significantly reduce the kitchen. Therefore, to save space, it is better to put the GKL on glue, having previously cleaned and primed the walls. Perhaps this method can be called optimal;
If you decide to demolish and build concrete walls, then get ready for tedious, noisy and very dusty work, preferably with at least 2 assistants, but rather entrust this part of the work to a repair team. How to do it, see the video:

But to build plasterboard walls on metal frame you can do it yourself;

If you live in an old fund or "Khrushchev" house, you need to find out what the partitions in the apartment are made of. Wooden walls must not only be leveled, but reinforced with metal corners and finished with a reinforcing mesh;
As for the finishes, the kitchen most often uses washable vinyl wallpapers on a non-woven basis, but you can also paint the walls water-based paint for rooms with high humidity;
For the majority are chosen ceramic tile, mosaic or glass panels- wear-resistant and durable materials with increased resistance to moisture and the possibility of easy washing.

Wallpaper for a small kitchen is desirable in light colors, but if you want to add color and brightness to the interior, then do not give up on this idea and decorate only one wall with colored or photo wallpaper, thus highlighting the eating area.

Ceiling repair

Repair in a small kitchen necessarily includes finishing the ceiling, taking into account its height and size.

If your apartment has a height of more than 2.7 m, then in principle you can choose any suspended ceiling: plasterboard, tension, rack, wagon. In addition, you can additionally insulate and soundproof ceilings. Let's even allow a small decor - a stucco rosette, ceiling moldings and decorative beams, such as in this design project, which was implemented in two-room apartment In Volgograd:

If the ceilings are not high, and even need major alignment, and the neighbors from above periodically flood the kitchen, then in this case the most best option- who are not afraid of flooding and correct operation will last up to 20 years. And most importantly - they are easily and quickly installed, while "eating up" a minimum of height;

When repairing a ceiling, you can new way and install fixtures, for example, spotlights in working area and hang a beautiful chandelier over the table;
Whatever ceiling you install, do not forget to remove old finish and prime the base with an antifungal primer deep penetration. And if mold has already formed, get rid of it immediately.

How do I get planning permission?

Way to beautiful kitchen with redevelopment lies through the BTI, housing inspections or OSBB, treat this issue with understanding, be patient and go through the following steps:

We go to the BTI for the technical passport of your apartment;
In the received technical passport we draw a sketch of the redevelopment and submit it for approval to the city housing inspection. Keep in mind that bearing walls cannot be demolished;
Then we wait for official permission and start the repair.

There is a second way to easily and quickly decide on the redevelopment option. There are catalogs in the housing inspection and on the Internet standard projects, in which you can find a suitable and permitted scheme for the reconstruction of apartments for a house of any series. In this case, a work permit is not required. However, after the repair is completed, the housing inspection is obliged to check and approve the results of the redevelopment.

Repair with a combination with a living room or a balcony on the example of 3 apartments

Repair in a small kitchen often involves a large-scale redevelopment with the demolition of the wall between the living room and the kitchen and the subsequent zoning of the room to create a studio apartment.

Here is an example of a successful reorganization, repair and design of a small apartment with. The author of the project is a young designer Maria Dadiani.

Here's an example of a join narrow kitchen from a living room in an old building with a ceiling height of 2.7 m in St. Petersburg.

Association with a balcony - too great way increase the kitchen by a couple of square meters, you get a kitchen, as if with a bay window. But such a redevelopment is not acceptable in all houses. This is how a rather large one with an adjacent semicircular loggia with a footage of 2.5 square meters was rebuilt. m and parallel arrangement of furniture.

Also see our other articles:

Repair and arrangement has not yet been completed, but it is already clear that the kitchen will turn out to be very functional and thoughtful.

It is forbidden to transfer batteries to the balcony, so the owners installed a warm floor in this area.

Pay attention to the good location of the refrigerator - it is close to both the work and the dining area.

Renovation with a change in the wall and entrance

If you don’t want to completely demolish the walls, but you like the idea of \u200b\u200bcombining the kitchen and living room, then you can:

Demolish the old partition and install a new one in another place, of a different size and type, from drywall on a metal frame made of profiles or channels;
Replace an ordinary doorway with an arched one;
Instead of the usual hinged door install a sliding system.

Let's start in order and consider an example of a very successful combination of a small kitchen () with a living room, which is separated by an erected small partition - a drywall bar counter. The owners of this bright apartment in scandinavian style live in Belarus.

Combining two rooms, the entrance to the kitchen can be simply moved and closed sliding door by the type of wardrobe, that is, on guide profiles installed above and below. How Elizabeth and Vitaly did it in their bright Provence-style kitchen with a footage of only 5.7 square meters. m.

There is another way to visually enlarge the kitchen - by creating an arch. An arched opening instead of a door looks very cool in kitchens. classical style, country, shabby chic, provence. Here is an example of repairing a small kitchen with a wide arch, St. Petersburg.

Repair with space optimization: niche, window sill, geyser and communications

The kitchen can be enlarged not only by the living room, but also by the adjoining bathroom or hallway, forming a drywall niche for a refrigerator or cabinet with a built-in oven and microwave. Here is an example of a small combined kitchen in an ordinary Khrushchev with a niche for a refrigerator.

There is another idea how you can optimize the space of the kitchen to the maximum in the process of renovating a small kitchen if its footage is less than 6 square meters. meters. The window sill can be used as a cutting table - for this it is replaced with a countertop, and a small cabinet is placed near the radiator. It is clear that in this case the furniture will have to be made by yourself or ordered by individual project. In place of the window sill, you can also make a sink - for this, you will have to provide a box under it, in which communications will be hidden. An example of such a modification is shown in the photo below.

But how to make repairs in the kitchen with a geyser and pipes? How to improve the interior with communications?

Keep in mind that:

It is impossible to transfer the column from the kitchen to the bathroom, but on the contrary, it is possible, but only after agreement with the gas workers;
You can transfer the column to the hallway, but not in every case, since the transfer conditions must meet certain requirements. The easiest way is to coordinate the transfer of the water heater at a distance of up to 1.5 meters from the "native" place;
hide in the closet gas equipment also undesirable, because there must be a space filled with air around the column. Often, the owners "embed" the speaker in a cabinet without a bottom and top, as well as with indents from the front and sides. Inside, such a cabinet is sheathed / treated with fire-resistant materials.

If you don’t want to go through the authorities, but you need to make repairs, then the best solution- reconcile and fit all communications into the interior or hide what can be hidden, and decorate or simply update what remains in sight.

Here interesting example how gas and water pipelines with gas water heater can harmoniously fit into an ordinary small kitchen.

And here are the interiors of kitchens with a geyser and pipes.

We are drafting a future kitchen in 3D - how to plan the design for a small kitchen

Repair of a small kitchen should begin with a project. Generally speaking, for visual magnification space, you need to use ideas that provide and expand the area, and functionality is ensured by the harmonious arrangement of furniture.

That is why repairs in a small kitchen do not begin until all the nuances and little things are clarified on paper, but rather in 3D visualization programs.

Since we decided everything repair work(or almost everything) to do with your own hands, then we will draw up a design project on our own. How can I do that? Here free programs, in which you can create a photorealistic project, while the principle of working in them is intuitive - even a beginner will figure it out:

Planner 5D;
Autodesk Homestyler;
KitchenDraw;
PRO100;
Sweet Home 3D;
Roomle (English).

So, do-it-yourself repair of a small-sized kitchen is planned in accordance with the following requirements:

The layout of furniture and the decoration of a small kitchen are carried out in one step. Here it is imperative to provide for the installation site of the stove and sink, which are tied to communications.
The gas stove must be placed within the gas hose standard dimensions(it is not recommended to extend it). In the case of an electric stove, it is also not worth extending the electric cable, as it can overheat and not withstand increased loads.
When shifting the sink, care must be taken to hide the newly made pipeline.
The stove and sink are not located next to each other - splashes of water should not fall on a hot hob. So such convenience for the hostess can result in a breakdown of equipment.
Stove with gas burners should be located at least 30 cm from the window - this will not allow an accidental draft to blow out the fire.
The length of the curtains is also taken into account - this is important for ensuring fire safety.
When planning repairs in a small kitchen, you should also not clutter up the space above hob cabinets - it is better to use this area to place the hood, especially if it is a kitchen-living room.

What colors would be appropriate in a modest-sized room?

classic color solution in light colors visually enlarges the space and perfectly reflects the light. White color will always be relevant, but any pastel shade can become the basis - gray, blue, pale pink, beige.

White platbands and skirting boards - great idea! After all, they are suitable for any style, any walls, floors and ceilings in absolutely any color scheme.

You can make repairs in a small kitchen and in bright colors- in this case, the accent will be furniture facades, an apron or one wall, but the predominant color in the decoration / furniture should still be light.

Take a look at examples of kitchen design projects 5,6,7 sq. meters, some of them have been implemented, and some have not, however, perhaps they will inspire you when creating your own kitchen interior project.

On the modern market housing, many apartments appeared, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich does not exceed 30-40 squares. Accordingly, the kitchen area in such an apartment is also, as a rule, quite small. Interior designers come up with more and more new ideas on how to turn a small kitchen into a comfortable, stylish and multifunctional one, where everything will take up very little space.

1. It is necessary to optimize and make functional every corner. Suitable for high shelves large wardrobes and lockers that can be installed under the countertops. In general, the space under the worktop must be used to advantage, in order, for example, to always have at hand necessary tools for cooking food. Since your kitchen is very small, you need more space to move around and not on the walls. Golden Rule for small spaces- always think about verticals.

2. Don't clutter workspace. Even such necessary and important kitchen appliances for housewives as a microwave oven and food processor, can both visually and actually significantly reduce the space of the kitchen. Occasionally used appliances and things, try to hide them in a closet, and if possible, put them on the wall with the help of special holders.

3. When designing, use light colors and its shades in the interior, such as white, amber, cream, beige, etc. Color in the interior of the kitchen plays an important role, with the help of color you can visually enlarge the space of a small kitchen to the point of unrecognizability, as well as give the room lightness, freshness and spaciousness.

4. It must be taken into account that different kind colorful carpets, heavy and blackout curtains and curtains, as well as a pile of decorative plates, greatly reduce the already small kitchen.

5. Properly selected lighting will create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere, for example, you can use Spotlights, which will harmoniously fit into a small kitchen.

6. If possible, you can move the dining table to another larger room, leaving the purpose of the kitchen only for cooking. Alternatively, you can use a transformer dining table, or use a bar counter instead of a table.

7. If your apartment layout is made in such a way that the balcony or loggia is adjacent to the kitchen, then as an option, you can combine the kitchen with the balcony by removing the partitions, while actually increasing the space in the kitchen.

8. You can combine the kitchen and living room in the apartment. Such an expansion is possible due to the demolition load-bearing structure and redevelopment of the main design of the entire apartment. The complexity of such an apartment will be the distinction between the cooking / eating area and the recreation / receiving area. A bar counter, a separate or specialized extension, a wall, a screen can become a similar partition in the layout. Also, the design may involve separation by a cabinet - on the one hand, a kitchen, on the other, a bookcase.

9. Avoid bright colors, juicy shades and large drawings. As attractive as they look, this recipe is not for small kitchens.

10. Instead of chairs in the interior of a small kitchen, it is better to use stools and hide them under the table during the day.

The curious world has prepared for you a selection of photos of design ideas for a small kitchen, we hope that our article and selected photos will help you make your kitchen beautiful, comfortable and functional.

13. Built-in appliances

Nothing clutters up a kitchen like an abundance of different kitchen appliances! The built-in refrigerator, stove and sink will create a single kitchen space and at the same time will not take up a single extra centimeter, saving space as much as possible.

14. Multifunctionality

Solid space savings can be achieved by organizing a convenient multifunctional corner in the kitchen, which will serve as a work surface, a dining table, and a place to store kitchen utensils.

15. Dining area

Many owners small kitchens decorate the dining area with corner sofa. It would seem that such furniture fits perfectly into the kitchen space, but it is rather bulky, immobile and occupies half of the kitchen. Give preference simple tables with chairs and stools: they look more minimalist, moreover, you can always rearrange them if necessary.

16. Custom furniture

If your kitchen has non-standard layout, choose the appropriate furniture for it. You can make it to order or look at the catalogs of designers and manufacturers who offer practical solutions for small apartments.

17. Furniture-transformer

A real lifesaver for a small kitchen will be transformable furniture.

Often the problem lies not in the number of meters, but in the irrational organization of space. Here you will have to win literally every centimeter, think through everything to the smallest detail, but it's worth it, because even the most modest living space simply has to be convenient and comfortable. The fact that it is real and feasible is proved by large and small design tricks, which can be used to transform a small kitchen.

Radical redevelopment

Having a small kitchen comes with a lot of responsibility, so it pays to plan ahead.

the most radical and effective method not a visual, but a real expansion of the space of a tiny kitchenette - redevelopment by connecting the kitchen to the hallway or the next room. Indeed, why constrain your bold design solutions, if it would be easier to demolish the wall, combining the room and kitchen into one large studio, visually divided into functional areas with help kitchen corner, bar counter or various kinds floor covering. It is not at all necessary to demolish the entire wall; to expand the space, a wide arched opening between the two rooms is quite enough. However, for such serious measures, you will have to obtain permission from the relevant regulatory authorities.

Ergonomic kitchen layout

Island, peninsular, U-shaped and two-row layout options in most cases are not suitable for a small kitchen. You will have to choose between a single-row (linear) and L-shaped layout. For maximum comfort width free space the floor should be sufficient so that, without restricting each other, several people can move freely at once. The single-row version leaves enough space for a full-fledged dining area, but if the length of the kitchen does not allow placing a stove, a cutting table, a sink, a refrigerator and a floor cabinet in one row, it is better to resort to L-shaped layout. At the same time, try to use the corners as much as possible: put corner cabinet, closet or sink.

If you can place all the necessary kitchen equipment along one wall, you can free up a significant amount of space.

Changing the front door

Standard Entrance door, especially opening inward, "eats" up to 1 square meter usable area. Replacing an ordinary door with a sliding or accordion door will help solve the problem. Alternatively, you can completely remove the door by making an arched passage that combines the kitchen with the corridor, which it is desirable to maintain in a single color scheme.

The two-level zoning of the kitchen creates the impression of spaciousness in a relatively small area.

More light!

The worst enemies of small kitchens are darkness and gloom, visually “eating up” the space and killing the least desire to be in such a “kennel”. Therefore, you should fill the room with natural and artificial lighting. Translucent light curtains, light-reflecting furniture with glossy facades, mirrors, mirror tiles, glass tops and doors, chrome fittings, spotlights directly above work surfaces and dining area. By the way, spot lighting will help save electricity and divide the kitchen into independent functional areas.

In a small kitchen the right combination furniture and lighting is difficult to achieve, so it is better to install additional fixtures

Neutral colors for a small kitchen

The right color scheme will help to visually expand the space of a small kitchen. Basically, designers recommend betting on monochrome, designed in neutral white, light gray, sand, beige tones. Feel free to use any calm, bright, neutral colors, reflecting light and visually pushing the boundaries. Perfect option - pastel shades and soft prints, not overloaded with intrusive patterns and patterns. You can complement the monotony with bright or dark accents, but there should not be too many of them, because everything flashy and contrasting, instantly attracting attention, makes the walls “shrink”.

White color visually expands the space, so for small rooms this design is the best option.

The right furniture for a small kitchen

The modest size of the room does not mean at all that the furniture should look like toy specimens from children's corner. Lots of small furniture And small parts create a clutter effect and make the room seem smaller than it really is. Better to use furniture standard sizes but limit the number of furnishings.

The carefully thought-out design of the furniture in this kitchen is the main practical feature, and good combination flowers - aesthetic

One object, for example, a refrigerator or a pencil case, must necessarily stretch upwards, creating a vertical perspective and visually raising the ceiling.

Furniture in light muted shades, almost merging with the color of the walls, looks less massive and bulky.

Restraint and simplicity of lines and colors of this kitchen make it elegant and attractive

To enhance the feeling of lightness, airiness and spaciousness will help transparent furniture made of glass or plastic, as well as mirrored and shiny surfaces: glass shelves, glass top dining table or bar counter, transparent plastic chairs. The more “reflective” and lighter, the more advantageous for small space.

Rationally use vertical space high wall cabinets for storage of kitchen utensils and supplies. They should be filled wisely, placing items in height depending on the frequency of use - the less often an item is used, the higher it is located.

Minimalism in the choice of furniture in this case is compensated original design walls and decorative elements

Choose cabinets with space-saving doors – sliding, folding or rolling up roller blinds. Spacious corner cabinets, equipped with convenient carousel shelves, also help to save space.

Utilize the space between wall cabinets and worktops with hooked hanging rods, metal grills and railings that conveniently house your most frequently used items. kitchenware, seasonings, spices and other little things. At the same time, everything looks organized and orderly.

An almost win-win combination wooden furniture And metal surfaces household appliances make this kitchen both cozy and technically modern at the same time

Save precious space designed retractable cutting boards, folding and sliding tables, as well as round and oval tables.

Household appliances and kitchen accessories

If the family's food needs are small, then a small refrigerator is perfect option space saving

Optimal solution for a small kitchen - built-in appliances that do not clutter up work surfaces and the table. Instead of a wide two-door refrigerator, it is better to use a tall and narrow vertical model. If the family is small, you can get by with a small refrigerator, on top of which a countertop is easily placed, expanding the work surface. Exactly the same trick can be done with a washing machine or dishwasher. Acquire household appliances and kitchen equipment costs solely based on the real needs of the family. If you have mountains of dishes formed only by big holidays surely you can do without dishwasher. An inveterate bachelor who spends a minimum of time in the kitchen will be quite satisfied with a small hob for two burners.

So original A complex approach to kitchen equipment for many owners of small kitchens has become a real find

Owners of small kitchens should give preference to multifunctional appliances. For example, instead of buying a blender, juicer, and meat grinder separately, buy a food processor.

And, of course, do not forget about the stylistic unity of the design, which is perceived more holistically and harmoniously than the accumulation of dissimilar elements. Make sure that the kitchen is not littered with unnecessary small things. Shining colanders, polished sides of pots, painted cutting boards, colorful jars of pickles and jams, large wooden spoons decorate the kitchen better than any souvenirs and trinkets.

Photo examples of interiors of small kitchens
