The issue of arranging the space of the kitchen often causes many problems and contradictions. Every housewife wants her work area to be as comfortable, functional and, of course, beautiful as possible - you must admit that in such an atmosphere it is much more pleasant to cook your favorite dishes for the whole family. Today, one of the leading positions is occupied by small corner kitchens with many options. In our article, we will consider various ideas of what the design of a modern corner kitchen can be, as well as the possibilities of its functional filling.

Corner kitchens are compact and functional: even with the simplest design, they are able to surprise with their unexpected solutions. The use of corner areas with the placement of capacious storage systems allows you to best maintain the free space of a small room. Small corner kitchens can be found in studio apartments and even rather solid rooms of private houses, as they provide the opportunity to organize a large area with an overall dining table, where you can not only eat, but also celebrate the celebration with friends.

An unconditional convenience is that in the cooking process there is no need to make unnecessary movements - all the necessary working areas (stove, sink, refrigerator) are at hand, located on the principle of a triangle. At the same time, the corner territory can be used in different ways: a sink or hob is placed on the lower tier, a small podium for storing kitchen utensils is equipped. In the upper part of the corner territory most often is crowned with a large spacious cabinet, in the bowels of which you can not only arrange shelves for kitchen utensils, but also hide large-sized appliances, for example, a boiler or gas boiler.

Despite the small dimensions, for a small kitchen there are many colors and materials. It can be colorful violet, yellow, green headsets with facades made of plastic or MDF or decorated with photographic prints. You can choose a more relaxed tone of wooden paintings, giving orderliness and elegance to the environment.

The choice depends more on the personal preferences of the owners, as well as the style of the room. Today there are many adherents of a minimalist trend who prefer to see the strict, concise design of the headset in white colors with glossy facades and built-in appliances. Of course, for small-sized rooms this option often becomes the most acceptable, since it allows you to visually expand the space.

If you prefer minimalism, but in a more original shell, you can switch your attention to headsets made in the Japanese style, the sophistication of which borders on exoticism. Characteristic is the presence of natural materials. Bamboo frames, door leaves with plastic and frosted glass imitating old rice paper, from which Japanese partitions were previously made, look beautiful. The main colors of the style are natural: black, white, sand, and the presence of a red, plum tone of the facades will make the atmosphere especially bright.

In the classic design, preference is given to headsets made of wood or materials imitating it (MDF, chipboard). At the same time, the furniture is left in its natural color, covered with a protective varnish, or painted in a white palette.Graceful carved ornaments of facades give special beauty. The presence of modern household appliances made of stainless steel and original fixtures refreshes the classics.

If you prefer bolder designs, are not afraid of combinations of natural materials with shiny, glass and metal surfaces, then a small corner kitchen in the modern style may be the best option. A feature is the original, often rounded lines and shapes of the headset, which may well be executed in a contrasting color palette.

When acquiring a corner kitchen, you need to pay attention not only to the aesthetic indicator, but also its practicality, functionality. A modern manufacturer is trying to produce furniture with great potential, endowing it with beautiful, stylish, and most importantly, the necessary elements. So why not take advantage of this?

In small living rooms, where the kitchen is combined with the living room, as well as studio apartments, you can often find kitchen sets with peninsulas - modular tables located at a right angle to the main work surface. They can play the role of a dining table or become a continuation of the working area, but their main advantage is the zoning of the space, when they clearly indicate the territory of cooking. Semicircular islets look exceptionally beautiful, where the absence of sharp protruding corners excludes the possibility of injury. A small corner kitchen with a peninsula fits perfectly not only into a small room, but also into a spacious one, leaving most of the space for arranging the territory with a luxurious dining kitchen.

Sometimes it’s the women who find themselves in miniature rooms that become the best home kitchen designers. Here on a tiny territory you need to somehow arrange all the necessary furniture for cooking, arrange electrical appliances and make room for a dining table. The idea of ​​using the window sill sometimes becomes the best option when you can admire the surrounding street panorama while working or eating, and good daylight is a double plus. At first, the thought of a sink located in the bowels of the windowsill may seem absurd, but looking at the photo, we are convinced that such a continuation of the corner headset looks quite logical. Another convenient option is to equip the windowsill under the dining table, which will free up more space in the kitchen for installing other necessary furniture or appliances.

Great popularity in the arrangement of the kitchen is gaining a bar, which makes the interior more stylish and modern. Acting as a dining table, it is a stylish, modern interior decoration, and if you add a bar with various drinks and glasses to an elegant chromed leg, the kitchen will turn into a beautiful minibar.

In small rooms, it is better to install a corner kitchen with a two-level bar counter, which will serve as both a working area and a dining room. Another good option is a stand with a pedestal base, which will make a roomy storage system for kitchen utensils. The massive base made of artificial stone looks no less attractive and modern.

A beautiful bar counter will harmoniously fit into any interior style. In the classic design, it is most often made of wood or stone, acquiring a luxurious, elegant look. For modern trends, you can choose a rack of synthetic materials, metal structures and glossy surfaces.

Bachelor life in some aspects has its positive aspects.In particular, this concerns the purchase of furniture, when there is no need to purchase dimensional products, and small compact headsets become the most profitable solution. One of the options in the photo clearly demonstrates the angular headset, which is compact and, at the same time, amazing functionality. It does not provide for a hob, which is likely to be replaced by a bachelor set of microwaves and multicookers, but the modules that make up a roomy storage system are harmoniously located. The length of the headset is 1x1.5 m with a depth of 60 cm, so even in a small kitchen it will leave enough free space for installing a refrigerator, stove and decorating a recreation area with a dining table where you can have fun with friends.

Those who are striving for fashion trends and are used to surprising guests should pay attention to the following model of corner kitchens of an unusual shape. An absolutely stunning design with smooth lines of furniture, an original shape of the sink and hob will certainly attract attention. Moreover, all zones of the working surface are located in a very convenient way, and the width of the countertop allows it to fulfill the role of a bar counter. After all, it is very convenient when you can chat with guests without breaking away from the cooking process. If you wish, you can even demonstrate a master class by preparing a gourmet dish.

An excellent solution for a small kitchen will be the acquisition of a headset, in the bowels of which are retractable systems. This option allows you to most efficiently arrange the necessary storage systems, work or dining surfaces, which, if unnecessary, will not occupy the kitchen space, providing free movement. For example, it is very convenient to have a sliding table panel, which is useful for both eating and cooking. It can even be a whole pull-out unit, which with the help of simple manipulations turns the linear layout into an angular one. Here, in addition to a folding tabletop, there are additional shelves for storing kitchen utensils.

Another interesting option is the unusual configuration of the lower pull-out corner cabinet, where the doors exactly repeat the shape of the corner. At the same time, maximum access to internal filling is formed, which often causes problems in corner structures.
