You can also order in one of the companies the manufacture of your dream sofa to order. In this case, you can choose the color and type of material, design and size, ideal for your kitchen.

  • Option, folding as a regular sofa, folded in half. Eurobook - a piece of furniture with a berth, moving away from the base. Then on this part fit the back of the product.
  • The size. You can choose the usual small-sized option, turning at night into a place to sleep. If desired, on such a "bed" even two can lie down. Or it could be a mini-couch. This option is suitable for small rooms (about 6 square meters). On such a model can fit only 1 person.

Calculating the dimensions of the sofa, it is worth considering the size of the kitchen.The dining area should harmoniously fit into it, making up only part of the space, and not occupy the entire room. It is worth thinking about the number of people who are usually present for lunch and dinner. It is important to take into account not only the people living in the apartment, but also those close to them who regularly visit them.

  • Upholstery material. In addition to the harmonious combination of upholstery with the overall interior of the kitchen, its practicality is also important. The material must be moisture resistant and easy to clean from dirt. After all, the kitchen is a place where cooking takes place regularly, and the ingress of fat, various liquids and other contaminants to furniture is inevitable.

The most popular natural and artificial leather. Natural material looks expensive and retains its original appearance for a long time. Leatherette is a more budget solution. Both materials are durable, easy to clean and allow you to keep kitchen furniture clean. Another inexpensive option is flock. This is a durable synthetic fabric. It does not absorb odors, moisture, grease and other contaminants. Such a sofa is cleaned with a dry cloth.

  • Frame material. In the kitchen, temperature fluctuations are frequent.And the level of humidity in this part of the house is usually unstable. In such conditions, poor-quality furniture can quickly fail. Cracks and deformation of wood will seriously affect the appearance of the sofa. Therefore, the material of the frame must necessarily be processed with a special composition. A good choice would be the furniture with the base of aluminum.
  • Filler. This moment also affects the durability of the furniture. A good option is polyurethane foam. It perfectly retains the original shape. In addition, this material is environmentally friendly. If the furniture filler is foam rubber, then it should be dense. Otherwise, the sofa will quickly lose its appeal due to the “dents” formed on it.
  • Cost If possible, it is better to purchase high-quality furniture, because it will serve you longer. If the budget is limited, you can save on coating material. However, the lifting mechanism must be of high quality and convenient for you.
  • Appearance. The color scheme and design of the sofa should be in harmony with the rest of the kitchen furniture and style of the room. Before you buy, submit the selected option in your kitchen, and if it does not fit, it is better to choose something else.

Where to place

Usually a sofa set against the wall. Although if you wish, you can put a straight sofa anywhere. If the seat is not one, they can be positioned with the letter G as an corner set.

It is better to place the table by the window. Then daylight will fall on its side. The people sitting at the table will be in the zone of natural and artificial lighting.
