In the apartments of the new layout of the kitchen, they have enough area, which can not be said about the houses of the old building. In such houses, the size of the kitchen is not enough to accommodate all the household items necessary to ensure a full life. After all, the average area in the kitchens of the "Khrushchovka" is from 4 to 6.5 meters, which, you see, is very small. In such situations, the question arises, how to correctly place interior items and household appliances so that it does not occupy a lot of free space and at the same time bring the maximum benefit for the owners of the house.

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen room is enough, then it is absolutely not difficult to organize it correctly, because it is possible to arrange all important kitchen objects here and supplement the ensemble with interesting highlights, such as mini-bar, culinary wardrobe, etc.
But if the space is not enough? In this case, you should put priorities and leave in the kitchen only that which really should always be “at hand”. The essentials include a refrigerator, without which the safety of products is not possible. Therefore, the key arises the question of how to hide the refrigerator in the kitchen room or beyond. We will talk about this in this article.
Ideas for small kitchen rooms
Consider how to correctly hide the refrigerator in the kitchen if the size of the room is extremely small.
Initially, we will come correctly to the selection of the refrigerator, because it does not have to be a standard size of 60*60*180. You can purchase a model of smaller size and thereby reduce the useful area that it will occupy.
Next, you should think about how to ergonomically place interior items over the refrigerator. So, there are three ways:
- You can purchase a built -in refrigerator model, which is much smaller in size than standard. Thus, the place for storage of first necessities can be organized directly on top of the cabinet in which the technique will be located. We get an impressive shelf - 40 centimeters of height and 60 depths.
- Sometimes it is worth buying a low refrigerator, for example, 140-150 centimeters high. These models are quite spacious. Moreover, you can build a cabinet 80 centimeters high on top of such a refrigerator, divided into two spacious compartments. The option with a small refrigerator is very suitable for families, which include 2-3 people.
- Next, think about whether you need a volumetric freezer in the refrigerator, or you can just purchase a model with a compartment for quick freezing. Such a technique is very compact and at the same time spacious. In this case, all the free room above or near the refrigerator can be equipped with kitchen furniture.
You can competently hide the refrigerator and freezer under the kitchen countertop. In this case, you should purchase built -in models of technology - separately a refrigerator, a separate freezer. This method of installing technology will allow it to look very neat and completely inconspicuous.
It is also worth approaching the planning of the room if it is at the repair stage. Perhaps you should organize a variant of the “Studio” premises, when the kitchen and living room make up a single whole. In such a room, you can correctly use all the useful areas of the area.
If the dimensions of the room are non -standard and there are some niches or protrusions in the walls, then they can be equipped for areas for placing a refrigerator. By placing interior items in niches, you can successfully hide them from prying eyes and thereby free the useful space of the room.
How to hide a refrigerator into a closet
The refrigerator is an indispensable technique in the kitchen. It’s just that you can’t do without it in modern life, but at the same time, this technique often occupies a rather large kitchen area or simply does not fit its general design. In this case, you can integrate the refrigerator into the closet. Then this indispensable item will remain in the kitchen, and nothing will spoil the overall design. How to integrate equipment in a closet?
- First you should know the dimensions of the refrigerator. If you do not know, then you need to take a roulette and measure. Record the measurement results on paper.
- After that, you need to find where the radiator is located. Depending on the model and year of release, it can be located either below or from the back of the refrigerator. In old models, the radiator is usually located behind.
- The dimensions of the radiator should be added to the dimensions of the refrigerator. In addition, you need to add a few more centimeters for the free stroke of the vibrating parts of the equipment.
- When you know the dimensions, you need to sketch with a pencil the cabinet layout, which will be used for the refrigerator. In this case, the parameters of all panels should be specified. It is important to take into account in the layout on each side of the wall walls the gaps are a couple of centimeters. This will allow you to easily place the refrigerator in a niche and will give a place to pass the air between the refrigerator and the cabinet.
- In the cabinet into which the technique is built, there is usually no wall or a lattice material is installed instead. Therefore, to ensure the rigidity of this design, several jumpers should be put that will not allow furniture to stagger.
- If the refrigerator has a small height and there is enough space to the ceiling, then a small mezzanine should be erected above it. In this case, you need to leave about fifteen centimeters from the wall so that moisture can come out. For such a mezzanine, doors are made in advance or acquired according to the measurements made.
- To assemble the refrigerator, you will need: wall panels, screwdrivers, fasteners for walls and, if necessary, a mezzanine door. You should also purchase a decorative film that will help to arrange the front side of the refrigerator to the color of the panels. It is advisable to cut the panels on the size of the walls in the store.
- If all the tools are purchased, start work on assembly. The cabinet is placed in the necessary area of \u200b\u200bthe room and a refrigerator is installed in it. When the technique is in place, the door of the mezzanine should be attached. Finally, it is necessary to arrange the front of the refrigerator in accordance with the color of the self -adhesive film.
Refrigerator in the pantry
In the presence of small sizes of the kitchen, you can take out the equipment beyond its limits, for example, to the corridor. Then the question arises of how to hide the refrigerator in the hallway. The solution may be the placement of the refrigerator in the closet (we described the method above) or in the pantry, which, in fact, is also a niche. Thus, the pantry will be a roomy cabinet, and the refrigerator will not attract a lot of attention in it. Only when placing a refrigerator in such a niche should be taken into account the presence of gaps of 2-3 centimeters on each side.
Sometimes only the freezer is placed in the pantry room, since it is used much less often than directly by the refrigerator. In addition, the freezer can be successfully hidden in a small closet.
Refrigerator in the loggia
In some apartments with small area, the unification of living rooms with a loggia is practiced, which is a very reasonable solution. In the same way, you can add an additional 2-3 meters to the kitchen room, combining it with a balcony.
It is worth remembering that the supporting columns that remain during the demolition of the walls are by no means allowed to dismantle. And just between these columns a niche forms, into which you can place a refrigerator or only a freezer. In this case, this important kitchen item will be successfully hidden and at the same time will remain very close to the kitchen.
How to hide a refrigerator in a room
Unfortunately, often there is no place for the refrigerator either in the kitchen room, nor on the balcony or in the corridor. Then the output will be the placement of equipment in the living room.
There are several design techniques that allow it to hide it from prying eyes. For example, you can glue the refrigerator with adhesive wallpaper "under the tree", made in tone of the total furniture located in the room. You can glue the walls of the refrigerator with flashes of fur, allowing it to make it a technique in the style of "modern". The method of placing the refrigerator in the closet described above is also available. Sometimes you can visually hide the refrigerator using a stylish curtain or mobile partition.
