How to live comfortably in a kitchen of 6 meters. Design and layout with appliances.

The kitchen ... it was one of the biggest headaches, as it was to place on the area of ​​6 square meters both the kitchen and the food area ...
I calculated the location of kitchen cabinets and appliances by centimeters and millimeters, the kitchen designer where we ordered the kitchen and the measurer convinced me that it would not fit! Managers in the salons are reinsured and always try to leave extra centimeters in reserve. You can understand them, but you live in it. They convinced me with a dishwasher that it would not fit in, they even convinced me and I made an advance payment, but the next day I tried it again, went to the salon to insist on it, and we redrawn the project so that it would fit the dishwasher
With an apron for the kitchen, I had no doubt, when I saw this plate with plates, I said: this is it! For all the time of searching and choosing materials for repair, I never caught the eye of something that could change my mind and I changed my mind even for a moment. It is light, the plates are perfectly suited to the style of the kitchen and their motley is perfectly combined with the countertop!
Now about the kitchen:
1) Avoid beveled corners! In a small room, they eat a lot of useful space!
2) We made the side facades curly, it visually decorates the room and gives the completeness to the kitchen, rather than chopped off
3) A side window in the upper facade visually gives lightness to the structure
4) Lighting is another necessary and convenient thing in the kitchen. We have a touch backlight, which is very convenient with dirty and wet hands
5) Be sure to make sure that in the small kitchen space there is a pull-out base under the oven under the dishes! Often the base is a false panel (yes it saves the cost of the kitchen) or it happens with a small drawer. We have a deep base
6) We made an extract hood built-in, as this is another way to save space
7) The hood should not block the natural ventilation, since if you completely block the natural ventilation in the kitchen with a pipe, it turns out that when the hood does not work, the ventilation of the room does not occur, and it is more likely that you will have mold, therefore either without output, or you need to divide the ventilation hole by 2 leaving a window for natural ventilation
8) Next, you must be aware of how much you need to store and why and plan ahead the space in the cabinets
The window sill had to be cut so that the refrigerator doors would open, when miscalculating, the manager said that the built-in refrigerator would not fit, by veil now I understand that you can safely put the built-in refrigerator, maybe later we will order, but for the sake of economy we left the old refrigerator. The bottle holder is not only a convenient fixture, but also a separation of the refrigerator from the hot hob. After calculating the size of the kettle, I left a place between the stove and the refrigerator, placing the bottle stand. Further work area and dishwasher. We managed to make the minimum angle for placing the sink 50, I wanted to make it already, but I was told that this is not possible with the built-in sink and even with a width of 50 the sink had to be placed sideways. The choice of sinks with such parameters was also not great
So: a bottle holder, a stove with a socle, a dishwasher 45 cm, a space under the bin and all sorts of things.
Drawers: under knives and steel appliances, the second under all sorts of kitchen stuff and a large bottom for pots and bowls
Upper: 2 cabinets to create a more “airy” top with glass.
There is a hood with a hood above the stove, but at the same time we still have usable space. Cupboard with glass for spices and mugs,
We do not use the microwave often, therefore we wanted to refuse it, but then we decided to leave it. Cabinet over the microwave for cereals and more. And another cupboard with glasses for glasses
Well, the doors for the mezzanine ordered together with the kitchen to create a single composition.
Now the hardest part: the lunch group. As it turned out, almost no one does small tables of good quality (We spent a lot of time, since the table should be no longer than 120 and no wider than 70! What we found was either of indecent quality, the table was already swollen and peeled off in the window, or it wasn’t our size. Initially, I planned to put a bench on the wall, a table and chairs for it. Then at the exhibition I saw this dining group. The table is solid + chairs deep black. Not only that black did not suit us at all, but the prints on black, were visible about one hundred great, so the table at the exhibition was always sloppy)) The price of all this at the exhibition was 18,000, along with chairs. We found a workshop where we were repainted in the color of our kitchen according to Ral for 5000 rubles! Thank you very much!)
Remember: this is your apartment, your useful space, and no one except you knows where, what and how much will lie, stand or charge. No one but you can plan
