For a small kitchen

When choosing a model for a small kitchen, you should use the recommendations of experts:

  • When planning a meal in front of the stove, you should choose a table of such size that the distance that provides freedom of movement is at least 60 cm;
  • the dimensions of the table should be commensurate with the room, a wide heavy tabletop with thick legs will not look organically in a cramped kitchen;
  • even the small table will make bulky hanging edges of the tablecloth of dense textiles; therefore, it is better not to cover the tabletop or use a lace tablecloth or light napkin;
  • a model with transparent inserts will make the kitchen more spacious, visually pushing the boundaries.

Modern manufacturers offer different solutions for cramped kitchens that save precious square centimeters by discarding the classics with four legs and solid countertops.

A convenient option would be a plane of rectangular or semi-oval shape, fixed to the wall with a folding mechanism. For stability, the plane rests on the leg-strut. After a meal, the tabletop is easily raised to a vertical position.

The traditional model in the small-sized kitchen combined with the living room can be replaced by a trendy bar counter. The variant with the possibility of approaching from any side can be used for full meals, light snacks and drinking beverages, as a work surface for cooking.

The original solution will be a kitchen table made of plastic or wood board, built into the windowsill. In the space of the kitchen corridor, it will be convenient to have a roll-out table on roller bearings or a micro-tabletop, which is extended from the under-table of the cutting table.

When buying a convenient for eating element of kitchen furniture, you first need to determine its size. Surface area should be chosen based on the number of family members, adding 1-3 people possible guests, given that each person will need approximately 60-70 cm length of the table top. If you plan to seat two people on one side of the table, then the length of the tabletop should be 120-140 cm.

A square table attached to the wall will hold three people. This means that the size of the table top should be 75 × 75 cm. For a small kitchen, a length of 60-80 cm is sufficient, a large kitchen implies a table length of 120 cm. The diameter of a round surface must be at least 90 cm.
