Today, special headsets are widely used to equip kitchens. They are conveniently selected according to the size of the room, construction material, style of execution and harmoniously fit into the interior, creating a beautiful image. Of course, in order to choose a quality product, you need to pay attention to a number of criteria that determine its function and location. In our article, we will talk about different models and tell you how to choose the right headset.
A huge selection of products of different configurations allows you to choose the right furniture for the design of the kitchen. All options are similar in purpose. Their main task is to save space and competent zoning of the kitchen in order to rational use of the entire area. But for this, two important parameters must be observed:
- The number of main parts of the structure that will make up the headset.
- Placing the product in the room in such a way as to save space and easy access.
IMPORTANT! With small dimensions of the room, it is better not to use large parts and exclude unnecessary parts. Leave only the essentials, otherwise you can forget about the comfortable kitchen!
Number and arrangement of elements
The first and most important point is the calculation of space. Know in advance the lengths of all walls and the total area. Headsets come in different sizes and differ in the number of constituent elements. If the space allows you to install a complete set, you can do it in any configuration you like.
For small rooms, only the basic elements necessary for storing dishes, cooking and placing the whole family at the table are used. For convenience, you can combine conventional and wall cabinets. This method will allow you to compactly place objects in two tiers, while saving space and allowing you to install additional equipment.
Location in the interior
Accommodation is also given special attention. It is necessary not only to save space, but also to visually expand it:
- Use special lighting.
- Place the headset so that you can access the outlets.
- Distribute the product evenly along the walls, the central part should remain without unnecessary parts and provide comfortable access.
- For convenience, you can buy a short straight or corner model. Pick up the location of the stove, refrigerator, sink and table in advance. The set should fit neatly into the interior and not interfere with the location of the rest of the furniture and appliances.
You should also seriously approach the choice of headset material. Almost all modern headsets are made of high strength and wear-resistant materials. But emphasis should be placed not only on their strength, but also on the safety of operation. We are talking about synthetic substitutes. In the conditions of a developed chemical industry, almost all fields of activity use artificially created materials. Many of them are harmful to health, especially when heated.
IMPORTANT! At elevated temperatures, harmful compounds are released into the air that adversely affect health. Therefore, it is best to find a product made from natural raw materials.
Main material
The most common options are solid wood products. They combine practicality, reliability and beauty. In addition, in the base, chipboard, chipboard, MDF can be additionally used - special pressed plates, which are much cheaper than the array, but have poorer characteristics and are more susceptible to water and temperature.
ATTENTION! Do not place the headset near heating appliances and protect it from constant exposure to water. It is necessary to make a gap in the structure or treat the surface with a special varnish or water-repellent composition.
Facade decoration
If the front part is made of wood, you can add it to the appearance of the style due to the cut out figures. You can do it yourself or contact the master carver. After that, the surface is varnished.
In the case of using plywood or chipboard, it is worth working hard to create a beautiful image. There are several solutions:
- Decorate the surface with painting.
- You can stick a film under the imitation of wood massif.
- A good option would be to use a film with a decorative pattern.
- The option of photo printing is becoming popular. Pick your favorite pattern and print it on the entire surface of the headset.
Insert material
To decorate the appearance and give it exclusivity, it is necessary to use additional elements. Furniture made from one material looks boring. Glass inserts are relevant and most beautiful:
- plain glass without decorations fits the techno style and minimalism;
- The classic version is glass with decorative patterns or carved details.
Environmentally friendly material - rattan is popular. Look at the various options for decorative inserts in stores and catalogs and select the option that suits the overall style.
Countertop Material
The table top takes on the main load and more often than other elements in contact with food, utensils, water and high temperature. When choosing a tree, it should be processed in several approaches to extend the service life and maintain a beautiful appearance. Also, a good solution would be to cover the edges of the product with metal plates or special corners.
IMPORTANT! Do not cover the countertop with film and paint. Beauty will not be justified, when exposed to water, the film will swell and burst, and the paint will peel off and cover the headset with dirty spots.
The combination of various elements, materials, decoration methods and colors allowed us to create a variety of styles. The main ones and the most popular are the following:
- minimalism - everything you need, simplicity of design and a direct frame;
- antique style is suitable for large houses - you will need to decorate the entire room with appropriate decor;
- country, which literally means a rustic image - the headset must be made of wood;
- various combinations of colors - use contrasting or monochrome headsets depending on the appearance of the room.
Choose furniture correctly, creating a unique style, do not forget about the quality and safety of the product.
