Making a sketch

So, take a piece of paper, a pencil and imagine our future ideal kitchen. In this case, it is worth remembering one convenient rule - the working triangle. A little more about it below.

Rule of the triangle

Typically, designers divide the kitchen in the drawing into three main sections:

• cooking zone;
• food storage section, crockery;
• zone for cutting food, washing dishes.

Important! If you represent these sections in the form of a triangle, then access to each of them should be at a distance of not more than three steps. This arrangement is considered the most convenient, functional.

At this stage, also consider whether it will be possible to open windows, doors without interference to work.

Drawing

1. First imagine what and how it will be located in your kitchen, from what materials it is made.
2. Next, you will need to make a sketch of everything you invented. And you will not need art education. The main thing is that you understand what objects you draw.
3. Next, you need to carefully measure the room and start working on a kitchen drawing.

Important! You can make a drawing manually, or you can install a special simulation program on your PC.There are free versions available on the Internet, which are quite suitable for non-professionals.

Important! The advantages of computer modeling are the ability to see the breadboard model of a practically finished kitchen in color, from various angles. And these programs allow you to place not only furniture, but also communications, doors, windows.

This is convenient, but there are times when even the simplest programs turn out to be incomprehensible. Then the drawing can be done manually. Here the following recommendations should be taken into account.

Tips:

1. Be sure to designate the scale for yourself, strictly adhere to it. A convenient option is a scale of 1:10, and a unit of measurement of 1 mm.
2. Measure the dimensions of the room, put its perimeter on the drawing.
3. Mark all dimensions in the drawing, taking into account the difference in the walls at the floor and at the ceiling.
4. Mark the places where different communications will take place.
5. Note the sockets and ventilation.
6. Specify where the window opening, its dimensions and the corresponding door dimensions are located.
7. Do not forget about the plinth, otherwise - in the scheme error is possible.

Important! Measure the room not only in width, length and height, but also:

• in height from floor to window sill;

How to arrange a technique?

1. Do not place the refrigerator close to the cooker - the appliance will quickly fail from severe heat.
2. The slab and the sink should be kept apart from each other at a distance of at least 50 cm. The water from the sink can easily get into both the equipment and directly into the outlet. In this case, a short circuit can not be avoided.
3. Dishwashers and washing machines should be installed as close as possible to the supply and discharge of water.

When arranging equipment it is important not to forget about sockets.

As a rule, the kitchen set has several levels:

1. The upper level is hanging cabinets and shelves. Their size is determined by the size of the room. In the height of the cabinets can be up to 100 cm, and the standard depth and width to 50 cm and 80 cm, respectively.
2. The lower level is the floor structure. Their height is selected in accordance with the growth of the user. Standard sizes reach 90 cm. In the lower part of the headset is often installed and embedded equipment. The standard cabinet depth is 60 cm, and the width depends on the model.

We measure

For correct drawing it is necessary to make correct measurements. And then we also have some recommendations:

1. When you measured the length of the proposed kitchen, subtract from the received length of 2-5 mm - this will avoid trouble, in case of an error.
2. Also be sure to check whether the corners are even. If the angle is not 90 degrees - these differences should be taken into account in the plan. Especially relevant this moment will be when creating corner kitchen.
3. Check the walls by level. Uneven surfaces may become an obstacle, and the hinged structures will not fit securely.
4. Separately calculate the dimensions of each cabinet and its components: boxes, shelves, doors, panels, walls.
5. Check the dimensions left for household appliances.
6. Indicate how much space the furniture takes.

Important! The final design of the kitchen should include as much as possible all possible sizes, since any error can ultimately lead to inconveniences.
