Layout options in a small kitchen 2 meters long

In a small apartment usually set   either corner or straight kitchen.   Consider the option when the furniture is located in a single line along the wall.

Such kitchen projects in Khrushchev   called direct, or linear, kitchens.

To optimize the space, separate kitchen modules should be combined with a table top and equipped with built-in appliances. It is not only convenient, but also beautiful.

To do this, discuss where to put the fridge, this bulky, but necessary unit.

Refrigerator and furniture are in the same row

If we put the refrigerator along the working wall, by the window, we get a direct kitchen 2 meters long, which consists of: a sink (50-60 cm), a cooktop (60 cm) and a refrigerator (60 cm).

Those. we actually get a kitchen with a length of only one and a half meters! And the cabinets? Alas: only between the stove and the fridge will it be possible to place only a 15-20 cm bottle.

• A great option for single and small family owners of a small kitchen - built-in countertop compact refrigerator.   Cabinets will not increase, but we get a comfortable working area. Family people, such an option, of course, will not work.
• Another option: replace the traditional four-ring stove or 60 cm hob with a 2-ring domino panel. After all, all 4 burners are rarely needed, and such a replacement will not cause inconvenience, and will free up a place for the cutting table.
• Instead oven to put a microwave with convection function.And if instead of a bulky hood get a miniature, built-in model, there will be additional space for kitchen utensils and above the stove. It might look something like this:

Lay out and clean as needed. Chairs to buy, too, folding and hang them on the wall. Folding table top and folding chairs are what you need for a small kitchen.

Using the top of the wall in a small kitchen is a must. Above the table, hang the maximum possible number of wall cabinets made of light materials, with glass doors.

This will not only provide additional storage space, but also give weightlessness to the structure and visually spread the walls.

5 tips for organizing the space of a small kitchen

1. Try to abandon hinged doors in the built-in direct kitchen. For the lower sections, select the sliding mechanisms. For the upper cabinets - lifting. Such solutions fit much better into small spaces.
2. Actively use rails - metal tubes with hooks and shelves above the working surface. With their help, you can place on the walls of kitchens a lot of utensils: ladles, mugs, spices, towels and much more.
3. In the small space of a small-sized kitchen, straight lines are absolutely necessary. It can be strips on the wallpaper, straight vertical blinds, long narrow handles on the furniture facades.
4. Floors with flooring (parquet, laminate, tile) laid out diagonally also visually expand the room.
5. Small kitchens, in the interior design of which gloss and glass are used, evoke a feeling of lightness and airiness.

For your inspiration, look at the photo selection of small straight kitchens:

Everyone knows how difficult it is to properly arrange the space in a small kitchen. But a large area does not always allow to do this, since much depends on the shape of the room.

This article is for those who want to make a beautiful and functional interior of a long narrow kitchen, and there are many of them in the houses of the old building.

In the premises of such a complex shape, two important tasks have to be solved: with the placement of furniture and the visual expansion of space.

How to arrange furniture and appliances

It depends on the actual dimensions of the kitchen, the location of the window and door openings and other existing conditions. A narrow room appears when its width is much smaller than length, but it is not necessarily really very small.

Consider several possible options.

With a width of less than 2 meters

The narrow and long kitchen with a width of 2 meters and less allows you to install in it only a single row or corner kitchen set. This is due to the standard dimensions of appliances and furniture, which is 60 centimeters.

Judge for yourself. If you put the furniture along two walls, it will take 120 cm, and the passage between the rows will be less than 80 cm. This is not enough for convenient use of the kitchen, since the open facade, door of the refrigerator or oven will almost completely block the passage.

The angular arrangement can also be different.

• If there is such an opportunity, then priority should be given to the variant with a completely filled short wall, and on the long side it is better to leave part of the wall free.

• If the kitchen is narrow and long, and the window is located on a narrow wall, under it you can arrange a bar counter that will serve as a working and dining table.

• The so-called interrupted angle (pictured below) will allow you to avoid installing bulky corner modules and a headache about their internal filling. Modern pull-out baskets, “trains” and “carousels” are not a cheap pleasure, and without them it’s very inconvenient to use the internal corner space of the closet.

Single row set can make the kitchen even more narrow. To avoid this, try not to do it from wall to wall, and the facades of furniture should not be too dark or contrasting compared to the walls.

For reference. For long narrow kitchens, you can order furniture of lesser depth to free up some of the space. But it will be difficult to find the same equipment for it, so the refrigerator, oven and dishwasher are likely to be out of line. They are best set at the ends of the kitchen.

With a width of more than 2 meters

If the kitchen is long and narrow, but its width is enough to install furniture in two rows, take advantage of this opportunity.

Of course, you can choose one of the above options, but a two-row or U-shaped kitchen set has many advantages.

• The most necessary equipment and equipment can be arranged so as to save time and effort during cooking. Stove with oven, sink and refrigerator form right working triangleas required by the instruction on the ergonomic use of the kitchen space.

• Located along two long walls, the kitchen suite does not take up much space, leaving enough free space to organize a dining area in the other half of the kitchen.

• This arrangement will allow you to place in the kitchen not only functional furniture, but also a sofa for relaxing.

Decorative methods of expanding space

There are many ways to visually change the geometry of space, including making narrow long kitchens not so elongated.

• Dark and bright, saturated colors visually bring the surface closer, and light ones remove. Therefore, if you paint the short wall of the kitchen in the desired color with your own hands or paste it with suitable wallpaper, it will seem closer.

• A similar effect can be achieved using decor with a horizontal pattern - ornament or stripes.

Note! The following pictures are vivid examples of how a long narrow kitchen is framed incorrectly. Its first even more pulls a narrow vertical image, and the dark walls of the second, as it were, move, moving closer to each other.

wrong design

• Furniture standing along a long wall should merge with the walls or be lighter than them.. Facades are better to choose glossy, capable of reflecting light.
• When a long and narrow kitchen has a large enough area to install the required number of lower modules for storage, you can opt out of the wall cabinets or hang open shelves instead.

• The previous picture shows another design technique that expands the space. This sofa occupies the entire width of the kitchen from one wall to another.
• You can also change the perspective with the help of transverse or diagonal laying of the floor covering in the kitchen.
• Perfect solution - finishing one of the long walls with reflective materials. For example, a mirror, glass tile, glossy MDF panel. An alternative to them can be wallpaper with a perspective image, the price of which is much lower.

Conclusion

It’s better to see once than read a lot of clever and useful design tips. Therefore, carefully consider the photos, study the video materials on the decorative design of narrow kitchens. And you will definitely find a solution that you enjoy.

Finishing the ceiling, walls and floor in the kitchen

The whole complex of preparatory work should start from the ceiling and move along the “top-down” principle. You must carefully examine the ceiling surface for defects and flaws. They can be removed with plaster or putty, as well as building foam. In the case of ceiling finishing wallpaper or modern waterproof paint, it is necessary to align it carefully.

If you plan to use the design of the stretch ceiling, it will remove all possible defects of the base surface and will provide additional protection against possible flooding from above by neighbors. Further, it is similarly necessary to eliminate all defects of wall surfaces. Due to the use of ceramic tiles in the work area of ​​your kitchen (as an “apron”), it is enough to apply only one layer of putty, making a preliminary primer.

When choosing a floor covering for a kitchen of 2x2 sq. M, you should take into account the fact of increased loads on this surface in small rooms.

It is not always possible to choose a ready-made kitchen set considering the small area and the location of the door and windows. Curbstones should not be done deep, and the use of a variety of niches and compartments, as it will increase the total capacity, and visually expand the space.

Wall cabinets (preferably with glass surfaces) will also allow you to functionally use the space and not clutter it with kitchen accessories.

When choosing a stove, in order to increase the size of the working area, it is recommended to make a choice in favor of two-fridge options.

The use of a modern refrigerator model built into the cabinet of the cabinet will not only significantly save space, but also provide additional space (on top of the canister above the refrigerator) for storing dishes and other kitchen utensils. Arrangement of a kitchen with an area of ​​4 square meters should include a variety of glossy surfaces. Also very effective and reflective surfaces of mirrors.

Thus, the repair in the kitchen 2x2 sq. Only at first glance is a simple task. However, with a competent and well-executed approach, your small kitchen can turn into a cozy corner of the apartment, which is convenient for both the cooking process and warm pastime in the company of family and friends.

Each hostess would like to see her own little kitchen in any other way and make it more functional and spacious. But what can you do if the room is not large in size?

The solution is and the most optimal way out of this situation will be a linear (direct) layout of the kitchen space. What is the peculiarity of this method of registration? Let's take a closer look at all the subtleties of this style.

Direct cuisine: what is it?

Linear kitchen layout is one of the simplest methods for arranging a kitchen set. Its feature is the absence of islands and any angles. The kitchen unit can be located either in one line, if the room has a rectangular shape, or in two rows, if it is square.

From here, direct planning has two varieties:

• Single row   The entire kitchen unit is located along one wall, while all the space on the other wall is immediately considered a dining area.
• Double row   Large household appliances and the entire kitchen set is placed along two walls.

As for the dining area, it is located on the remaining free area of ​​kitchen space.

Advantages and disadvantages

Direct layout has always been one of the best variations of the interior. After all, it is perfect for kitchens that do not differ in a large area, and allows you to place furniture of any shape and configuration.

This method of arrangement will be an excellent solution for those owners who will not constantly cook, because the surface area of ​​the linear layout is an order of magnitude smaller than that of any other similar types.

Linear arrangement will also be a good way out when arranging the space in the kitchen, which has a rather complicated and intricate layout.

If you correctly approach the selection of a headset, it will provide an opportunity to highlight all the advantages of the room and smooth out or hide all possible flaws as much as possible.

Tip: direct layout is perfect for decorating studio apartments. After all, it will allow to emphasize the working area, as well as visually separate it from the space intended for recreation.

The advantages of the above layout should include:

• Ease of arrangement.   The simplicity of the form does not require you to develop a complex and carefully thought-out project. Be sure that even without any experience in the field of design, everyone will be able to determine the most optimal design of a linear kitchen.
• Affordable cost.   If you compare with complex kitchen sets, the direct layout will be affordable for absolutely everyone.
• Space saving.   Due to installation close to the wall, the linear arrangement of furniture will save precious square meters.
• Practicality.   If you choose a small kitchen, then during the cooking process you can easily reach each section, for example, to get the necessary utensils or products.
• Attractive appearance.   The simplicity of the linear arrangement allows it to harmonize with the interior, which has a rather complicated layout. In addition, many manufacturers provide the opportunity to purchase headsets of the desired depth and length.

As for the drawbacks, the linear kitchen has several:

• One of the downsides   already mentioned above and it is the lack of working space. But this is a problem only for those who like to cook often and regularly, and it can be solved simply by ordering a kitchen with a length of about four meters or more.
• Second minus   is that in a room with relatively small dimensions, it is sometimes difficult to install kitchen units in one line.

Regardless of the area of ​​the room when planning the interior, it is especially important to pay due attention to even the smallest details, namely the location of certain elements of household appliances and cabinets for storing all dishes and various kitchen utensils.

Remember!   The kitchen must necessarily be as practical, functional and comfortable as possible, but do not take up much space and allow you to easily get to any desired section.

As for the length of the headset, the designers recommend to prefer the kitchen with a length of about 2.5 meters or more. After all, if the length of a straight kitchen exceeds 3 meters, then it will be much easier for you to ensure its practicality and functionality.

Well, if the length is small, in most cases you will have to abandon certain amenities or, on the contrary, carefully think over and design the order in which the basic elements for the kitchen will be located.

Planning should start with choosing a place under the sink. After all, it is directly related to communications and quite often it can be difficult to transfer to any other zone.

Experts advise not to place the sink near the wall, because when washing dishes you will touch it with your hand, which will not be too comfortable. The best solution would be to place this zone in the middle of the kitchen.

How can I increase the functionality of a linear layout?

To make the kitchen a real helper, you need to think through and properly organize additional storage space for utensils and complete the drawers and shelves.

At the design stage, try to think about how the boxes, built-in containers, etc. will be located, and what number will be most optimal.

For convenient storage of all kitchen utensils and products there is a huge amount of a wide variety of compartments.

Here are examples of some of them:

• drawers for dishes, dryers for dishes, sections for bottles;
• special cabinet with built-in or suspended drawers and shelves;
• containers for small kitchen utensils;
• baskets for storing fruits and vegetables;
• containers for a variety of bulk materials;
• extra lockers for oversized household appliances;
• hanging garbage containers, access to which is provided when you open the door locker.

If you want to save precious space, a good solution would be to use:

Retractable tables.   In most cases, they are embedded directly in the furniture set. An interesting and quite practical solution would be the worktop, which was made in the form of a drawer and when closed it is no different from other drawers in the kitchen.

Folding table tops-doors.   This type of folding table is easily mounted to any free surface or wall.

Direct kitchen with breakfast bar

This kind of interior style was able to successfully combine the signs of public and personal space, which gives the design a certain luxury and zest. In addition, bar drain is an important element in organizing the area of ​​the room.

If you are the owner of a studio apartment, it will be an excellent and practical tool for zoning space and will allow you to separate the area intended for cooking from the dining area. This is especially useful if there is no partition or wall in the room.

The list of advantages of the bar counter should also include space savings. After all, if family noisy feasts do not take place often, and a quick breakfast and a cup of hot coffee are a daily need, then you can completely refuse from a separate dining table.

Do not hesitate, the bar counter is a worthy replacement for it, which will brilliantly perform all its functions.

Many will ask the question: "And how to arrange the bar counter?" It should be "hacked to death" that it should be distinguished among other furniture set. The best solution is to customize the lighting.

For this purpose, either lamps on long cords-wires, which are hung in a row, or spotlights, which are mounted in the upper part of the rack, are used.

If you want to visually increase the kitchen area, then focus on bright colors and in no case choose a bar painted in burgundy, black or brown.

Pearl, white or light gray color will make the stand almost invisible among other furniture, which will allow to achieve an elegant and more elegant kitchen design.

Well, if you want to create a brutal, "male" interior, then the use of dark plastic or natural stone combined with a chrome bar is welcome.

Which kitchen is better straight or angled?

Today there are two most common ways of arranging kitchen furniture - angular and straight.

The first type is in great demand and popularity. The peculiarity of the corner kitchen is that it is perfect for square rooms and will help create a comfortable and ergonomic design.

Often, this method of placing furniture is performed with a bevelled corner, which is subsequently installed washing.

Today, the corner kitchen in most cases has a modular structure, which makes it possible to arrange the sections in the order in which the hostess wishes.

The advantages of the angular layout should include compactness and the ability to place headsets in a small, but not narrow and not oblong room.

As for direct kitchens, it is a classic and versatile way of arranging kitchen furniture. Distinctive features of this design are in its convenience and functionality.

Linear layout is perfect for the kitchen of absolutely any shape, ranging from square to rectangular. You can get a large work surface on either side of the stove or sink.

In addition, the direct placement will allow you to beat the kitchen design in a very original color scheme, which will allow you to create a spectacular and exciting style of cuisine.

What color is suitable for direct kitchen?

Choose a color for the kitchen set is based on your preference. So, you can achieve a calm or tonic, peaceful or spectacular, delicate or bright and memorable design.

But in any case, you need to follow the advice of experts, because in this case you can avoid the most common mistakes.

• Do not combine in the same kitchen more than two different colors.
• If you have chosen two colors of furniture, then the lower cabinets should be darker than the upper ones.
• If the headset is made in several colors, then only one should be dominant in the style.
• A single-colored design looks much better if it is made of calm, pleasant and not too catchy colors.
• Choose a monochrome kitchen, if the room is not large in size.
• The colors you have chosen should necessarily be combined with each other.
• In a small room, do not use rich and dark shades. Remember, light color will visually increase the area of ​​space.
• Prefer natural colors. They are best suited for the kitchen.
• Particular attention should be paid to the design of furniture. If you want to order bright furniture, then follow the walls in neutral and soothing colors. Well, if the kitchen set is rather solid and not too noticeable, then the walls and the surrounding decor should be different in contrast and bright colors.

Styles

While preferring one or another color of the furniture set, in no case should we forget that the color scheme depends entirely on the chosen style in which you want to realize your own ideas and ideas.

To figure out which design is right for you, consider the subtleties and characteristics of each of them.

Classic.   In this case, preference is given to milk and white shades, which are harmoniously combined with the noble and luxurious burgundy.

The classic style also welcomes gold blotches, although the design is strict and warm. To give the interior aristocracy and some zest, order a kitchen set, made in a dark red tone, while the work area will be different elegance and light tones.

Modern In a modern style natural colors which quite often happen bright enough and bright prevail. But bright tones should be only in separate elements or smooth lines.

Provence.   This style of the French village on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea is characterized by the presence of warm or cold shades that have faded under the influence of the sun.

Some details may be bright. As for the dark colors, it can only be used for floor decoration.

High tech.   Hi-Tech is a functional and modern style, in which the main focus is on technology. That is, the design emphasizes the manufacturability of the interior, its metallic notes, for which cold-tone paints and glass are used.

Modern style.   Modern design is a kind of opposite to historically emerging traditions. The kitchen, made in this style, is minimalist, but at the same time, the maximum functionality and practicality.

This allows even a small room in a two-room or one-room apartment to turn into a real work of modern art.

Direct kitchens (real photos)

The smaller the size of the kitchen, the more reverent attitude to each centimeter of area and the stronger the desire to make this centimeter useful.
