Subtleties of choosing a kitchen corner
Sitting places
- Chairs

- Chairs + corner sofa

Other options, exclusive models for the seat are also possible.
The presence of an additional place for storing household little things
It is clear that if only chairs are present in the kitchen set, then for storing all sorts of things you need to purchase a separate pencil case. High-tech corners also do not imply any containers. Such furniture is characterized by elongated legs and straight or slightly curved armrest lines. But there are a number of models that are equipped with secret cabinets. So, the kitchen for the kitchen can be:
- Without boxes.

Materials used in the manufacture of kitchen corners
Upholstery of the soft part
- Genuine Leather Ecological, easy to care for, pleasant to the touch. True, not in any interior such furniture will be appropriate. In addition, such kitchen corners, prices are quite high, which determines the limited supply of such models in the domestic market.
- Synthetic leatherette. Practical, easily wash, which is important in the kitchen. Today's leatherette are practically identical to genuine skin, some even have the ability to “breathe”.
- Microfiber - The most popular synthetic material with increased wear resistance, which retains a presentable look for a long time. But a corner with such upholstery, most likely, will have to be ordered individually.
- Live fabric: velor, sewn, jacquard, plush, phlock. The latter is very close in properties to microfiber, but a little cheaper. It should be paid attention to the fact that the villous version of the upholstery when changing lighting looks different and may not approach the surrounding interior, so here we must show vigilance when choosing a color. Fabrics with a clearly pronounced longitudinal transverse texture tend to be salted.
Soft part fillers
- Foamen. The composition of such foams contain antipyrene that increase the resistance to the fire.
- Poliuretan foam. A worthy analogue of foam rubber, which has the best moisture and heat-insulating properties, but less susceptible to deformations.
The elasticity, and therefore the ability to maintain the original shape depends on the degree of stiffness of the material. There is a filler of normal stiffness, increased hardness, hard, soft, hyper-soft, high elasticity. High -quality filler is not cheap, but its service life can reach 10 years.
The material of the main part of the soft kitchen corner (frame)
- Chipboard. Most often used laminated chipboard, presented in different color and texture solutions.
- High -quality wood. Kitchen corners made of wood are significantly superior both in price and quality those made from chipboard.
- Metal. Parts of the frame can be made of metal, especially if there are folding structural elements.
- Artificial materials.
To increase moisture resistance, part of the kitchen corners, usually processed with special impregnations.
The material from which the main part of the chairs and the table is made.
- Tree. The most pleasant, safe, but notable option.
- Metal. The most durable and wear -resistant furniture.
- Plastic and other artificial materials. Light and easy to maintain, relatively cheap.
The dependence of the model of the kitchen corner on the area of \u200b\u200bthe dining area.
When choosing a kitchen corner, in addition to the model and color scheme, you should pay attention to the dimensions of the kitchen area and the entire apartment as a whole. If you are owners of a small one -room apartment, but you like night gatherings with a girlfriend, then a folding kitchen corner will be the perfect option. In the collected form, such furniture will not take up a lot of space and reduce, already, a small area. And, having decomposed the sofa, you can offer the guest a full sleeping place without damage to your own comfort.
A separate story is kitchen corners for small kitchens. It is clear that with all the desire you will not squeeze a large corner sofa into the limited space. Here, either a small corner sofa with shortened seats for the seat, or a single sofa under one wall, or a bench option. Unfortunately, it will have to be content with very small kitchen corners, or rather, a dining area with chairs or ottomans. Although, today alternative solutions for limited spaces are practicing. For example, kitchen corners are popular, where a dining area is combined with a windowsill, as can be seen in the photo.
In addition, do not forget that the style in which the furniture of the dining area is made should not be knocked out of the general concept of kitchen design. The kitchen corner should be not only functional, but also decorative.
