Therefore, selection of kitchen furniture is important, and the selection of furniture elements for kitchen should be paid no less attention than the bedroom sets. So, it is necessary to organize the space in your kitchen. Before turning to furniture manufacturers with questions for the owners themselves decide suitable for them kitchen area cabinets in standard sizes, or have to work with a designer and order something individual. There are dishes to be too small, and large - full kitchens. In any case, there is a solution for any room.

Standard sizes kitchens are used in factories, in order to reduce the time and resources required for the production of furniture. Once you have found a company to order furniture comes specially trained person performs all necessary measurements, checks that it is necessary for the project. However, it takes into account not only the characteristics of the premises and the layout, the choice of food affects the taste and more preferences of the owners, the growth of family members, the future design of the interior, the presence of one or another embedded technology. Take into account all the details, because the kitchen should be comfortable to use, it must be provided aesthetic appearance.

For those who want to save money while equipping the kitchen, there is a popular innovative solution, as the modular system. Kitchen sets are collected in this case, of ready cabinets, which have standard dimensions and specifications. When ordering, modular kitchens, a very important point - each manufacturer has a different step in the production of modules from 5 to 20 cm. For example, one factory produced kitchen breadth modules 45, 60 and 90 cm, and the other 40, 80, 120, etc. This factor is taken into account when purchasing household appliances and to determine the total length furniture.

The rule of the triangle

However, the above nuances - not all that is necessary for the proper organization of the kitchen space. Still need to use the rule of the triangle.

All components of furniture for kitchen, from cabinets and the sink pumping must arrange, on the basis of certain rules of ergonomics, safety and convenience. Not in vain is the science of Feng Shui, whose laws allow for many designers. Its principles can be correlated with the rule of the triangle, and the location is easy to explain things in a particular place.

The main area in the triangle:

• surface cooktop in form of a plate, table top, microwave oven;
• zone where the products are stored permanently, its elements - freezer, refrigerator;
• "Clean" area, including the kitchen sink and dishwasher.

It may seem an attractive setting sink next to the stove and the sink next to the placement of the refrigerator. But such an arrangement technique is not justified. Refrigerator all the time will be contaminated, and the fat in the process of cooking food will splash washed the dishes. Tap water will fall on red-hot frying pan. This is inconvenient, impractical and unsafe. Not for nothing on the Feng Shui elements can not place the elements of fire and water in the immediate vicinity next to each other.

Appliances, affecting food choice

To get the most optimal design of kitchen furniture, you need to initially determine what built-in appliances to be used now or a little later.

For built-in appliances include:

- hob and oven, a standard plate, etc.

The designer need to be forewarned about the dimensions of the built-in appliances, which is chosen for the kitchen.

Not recommended location near the stove and refrigerator. Because of the heating, will increase the power consumption of a refrigerator, which can damage it. The distance from the countertop to the refrigerator and must also be thought through, because often it fall splashes in the cooking process, which complicates the care of the kitchen. Between the refrigerator and the worktop is necessary to provide a distance of at least 15 cm.

One should not forget about the hood. It has the following placement standards (and from it to the hob):

- for electric cookers 70-75 cm;

- for gas cookers 75-80 cm.

As for the ovens, then to ensure fast, trouble-free opening and closing of doors, it must be installed at a distance of 1 cm from other kitchen cabinets. The oven is installed in pencil at eye level. This is to ensure comfortable operation, and that the children were not able to reach him.
