11 tips on how to choose a soft corner for the kitchen

When we choose fabric for upholstery in a bedroom, living room or children's room, we first of all pay attention to the color, texture and how its color will fit into the interior. But when it comes to choosing fabric for upholstering a kitchen corner, furniture fabric needs to be selected according to slightly different criteria. Because it is important to take into account that the kitchen is a room with high humidity and frequent temperature changes. The upholstery of kitchen furniture gets dirty more often and is more susceptible to dirt than in other rooms. What furniture fabric is ideal for upholstering a kitchen corner? Let's figure it out.

Types of soft corners in the kitchen

All the variety of designs of this piece of furniture can be divided into two large subgroups:

Stationary corners that are whole. Their two parts are connected to each other by a metal fastening element both at the back and under the seat. They have L-shape, since one part is usually longer than the other. Previously, all the corners were of the same type and not dismountable, which brought a lot of inconvenience both during their operation and during selection. After all, the corner you like may not always be made in both the right and left versions, which can really upset you. Manufacturers took into account the wishes of consumers and released another, more convenient type.
Modular models are gaining more and more popularity. This is not surprising, because thanks to their mobility they are truly universal. The secret of such popularity lies in designs, which comprises several parts, which you can change places or remove altogether. This is very convenient when you need to change the right corner to the left or vice versa. The modules simply stand close to each other, which makes it possible, if necessary, to use each of them separately. Despite all the delights of this option, There is And flaws. Since the modules are not fastened to each other or to the floor or walls, over time they move slightly and gaps form. At some periodicity you will have to move them to their original place.

It is worth noting that models belonging to the first group will be more affordable. And if you have already decided exactly on the location and the form you need, then you shouldn’t overpay. With the money saved, it is better to choose a higher quality upholstery material .

Which form should you prefer?

This question torments many. When choosing, some people are guided only by external attractiveness and do not think about functionality at all. We still advise you to select the shape of the kitchen corner depending on its location and the expected area that it can occupy. The four most common forms are:

Straight a sofa or bench will become indispensable if there are no free corners left after arranging the work area. Despite their small dimensions and simple shape, it can be very comfortable and attractive, and even functional. And if you complement it with chairs with the same upholstery, you will get a completely decent and comfortable dining composition, which, moreover, will be very compact.
L-shaped corner is the most optimal, especially if space for it is limited. It gets close to the wall, which allows save greatest space for the kitchen table. The back of such models has a small thickness, but a decent height, which makes it very comfortable. One seat is often longer than the other, but this can be easily solved by giving it the necessary dimensions. The manufacturer will easily shorten one wing according to your wishes.
U-shaped the soft kitchen corner looks very chic, but appropriate he just in large kitchens. Considering the size of our housing stock, you will only be able to afford it if it is redeveloped. Of course, there are exceptions, and if your kitchen is one of them, feel free to purchase such a model. Yes, it is very large and takes up a lot of space, but with ease will post yours numerous guests. Rectangular glass or wooden tables are in harmony with such a corner.
Semicircular models are very similar to L-shaped ones, the difference is that in this case angle used as a 100% spot. Agree, it is much more convenient to lean on the radius backrest than to try to do the same in a corner that has 90°. Thus semicircular shape more spacious. And this sofa looks unusual. In addition, behind the radius back, a small shelf is often made. It is convenient to place a small radio or a plate of fruit on it. Due to this, the corner becomes close to the wall and leaves no gaps. Round tables will look great together with this corner model.

Now that you are familiar with the possible modifications and know when it is appropriate to use one shape or another, take a closer look at your kitchen. Choose the most compact shape that will not clutter up the space.

Table

Tabletop

Laminated chipboard (laminated) is a cheap but fragile material. It is advisable that the legs of the table be metal, since the fasteners in chipboard do not hold well, which negatively affects the service life of the product. A good solution would be a chipboard tabletop covered with plastic. Despite the higher cost, this option is more practical and durable.

MDF is stronger and more beautiful, but more expensive than chipboard. MDF can be covered with film or veneer. In the first case, the kitchen corner will cost less, in the second it will look much more impressive (imitation of solid wood),

Wood is an expensive and beautiful material that is relatively rare. Hardwoods, such as beech and oak, are used in luxury kitchen corners. A cheaper option is soft wood (most often pine) or a stacked array consisting of hardwood bars.

Glass looks impressive, but is not strong enough. A glass countertop, unlike a wooden model, does not clutter up the space, which is especially important in a small kitchen. Kitchen corners with a glass table are quite rare.

Important: a light glass tabletop does not fit well with a massive corner sofa with drawers. It is better to choose a less bulky model.

Type

One-piece - a durable and reliable table, the likelihood of breakage of which is minimized. True, the one-piece type of table does not allow you to increase the tabletop, which can be useful, for example, if guests come.

Sliding – provides the possibility of increasing the usable area of the table. The disadvantage of such a table is its comparatively lower strength. This is a good choice for a small kitchen.

Form

Rectangular - quite roomy and practical: if necessary, it can be moved to the wall. This table is distinguished by a variety of design solutions and sizes, which allows you to choose the best option for a particular case. The disadvantage of a rectangular table is the presence of traumatic sharp corners - this is especially true if there are children or elderly people in the house.

Square is a compact table, which is often equipped with a transformation mechanism that turns it into a rectangular one. This table can be called the ideal combination of compactness and practicality. It should be remembered that a square table also has sharp corners.

Round – looks great and has no sharp corners. On the other hand, such a table takes up too much space and requires a spacious kitchen.

Oval is a compromise between the spaciousness of a rectangular table and the safety of a round one.

Figured - has a non-standard shape, which is more of a decorative value. Tabletops like this are rare.

Important: it is recommended to choose a table with one leg so that guests can sit and stand comfortably.

Size

The size of the kitchen corner table determines the number of seats and comfort when using it. When choosing the size of the table, you should take into account that one seat requires at least 60 cm of tabletop length.

Tables are divided into two categories according to their length:

small (70-110 cm) – suitable for 2-4 people;
medium (120-160 cm) - the best choice for 4-8 people. Such tables take up a lot of space and are therefore rarely found in the kitchen.

Dimensions of tabletops depending on their shape:

rectangular - length (comfortable - from 80 cm), width ranges from 80-110 cm (economy option - 55-60 cm);
square - vary from 70x70 to 100x100 cm;
round – minimum diameter is 75 cm.

Other options:

table height – 75 cm;
height of stools – 48 cm.

Material of frame and decorative elements

It is understandable that every consumer wants the product he purchased to be durable, reliable and last for many years. It’s this kind of thing that you don’t mind paying money for. To ensure that all costs are justified and your kitchen corner will delight you for many years, pay due attention to the frame. This part is carefully hidden under the upholstery and filling, but it is no less important. The frame is now made from the following materials:

Chipboard – the cheapest option, but not the best. Do not forget that the components used to glue wood shavings contain toxic elements, and they can evaporate throughout their entire service life. To minimize such consequences, be sure to ask the seller to present certificate environmental conclusion. The safest class is E1. Chipboard subjected influence moisture and frequent temperature changes, so its surface must be varnished. It also differs in its fragility. With frequent loads, cracks may form in the places where the connecting elements are attached and the top layer may break off. Therefore, if possible, it is better to purchase models with a frame made of less valuable, but still wood species, for example, pine or birch. If this is not possible - sheet thickness must be at least 14 mm.
The wooden frame is distinguished by its strength, durability and environmental friendliness. Because of this, wood is considered a rather expensive material. It is susceptible to moisture, steam and frequent temperature changes. To extend the service life of a wooden frame and protect it from external factors, it is impregnated and opened with special compounds, which in turn further increases the cost of the finished product. It requires proper care and treatment with special cleaning agents, otherwise the appearance of wooden parts will quickly cease to please you. Such a corner should not be placed near heating appliances. In general, if this is not too troublesome for you and your kitchen set is also made of natural wood, then why not.
Metal is the best option. This is a very strong, reliable, durable and environmentally friendly material. The metal frame, especially if it is a continuation of the product in the form of legs or armrests, gives the model a stylish and modern appearance. Corners with forged elements, decorated with soft pillows, look very cool. surface can be chrome-plated, painted, or treated with matte powder paint. Therefore, the variety of color solutions will also please you.

Equipment

The sofa is the basis of the kitchen corner. Purchasing one sofa is a compact and relatively inexpensive, but non-functional option, justified either for a small-sized kitchen, or for cases when the owner wants to assemble a set based on his own preferences.

Sofa + table - the optimal combination of price, compactness and functionality.

A sofa+table+chairs/stools/poufs is the most functional and stylish solution, but it has a high cost and requires significant space. Ottomans can have a round, rectangular, square shape. The upholstery and filling are the same as the sofa.

Upholstery material and features of its choice

The next important factor that affects the durability and cost of the product. There are enough varieties of upholstery materials for everyone to choose the right option for themselves, but are they all so good at using them?

Synthetic fabrics are characterized by good resistance to dirt and moisture, due to which they are very simple V care They are breathable and hypoallergenic, differ in affordable pricing policy. When washed or cleaned, they do not lose color brightness and do not stretch. This is provided that there is no cotton in their composition. The most common variety is microfiber. Colors can be either plain or with patterns. The only one disadvantage is the flammability of synthetics, which is especially dangerous if the corner is located close to the stove. When burned, such material releases toxic substances. Low-quality synthetic fabrics are less breathable and attract static electricity, so always ask for certificate of conformity. After all, you won’t be able to visually determine the level of quality.
Leather - the most expensive upholstery material. But it has many advantages - external beauty, ease of care, breathability, durability And strength. Such things are usually made to order. When purchasing, you should pay special attention to the softness of the material and its appearance. If the leather is rough, it will crack where it is folded. The surface should be free of traces of folds, stains of unknown origin or light areas, needle marks or poor-quality seams. Needless to say, such corners look very solid and elegant.
Faux leather is excellent alternative natural material, and in some of its properties even surpasses it. Leatherette does not react to changes in temperature and humidity, and is indifferent to direct sunlight. Yes, it is not so beautiful in appearance and less representative, but it has an affordable price. Some varieties have microperforation, which promotes breathability. The only thing inconvenience and discomfort may occur when sitting on a leatherette sofa in the hot season. You'll just stick to it. Besides, this cold material prone to cracking at bends.
fleecy fabrics, such as velor or plush, very pleasant to the touch and impressive in appearance. But, unfortunately, they react very poorly to sunlight and wear out quickly. They need a lot careful attitude and careful care, so if there is a child or pets in the house, then this is not the best option. More wear resistant than velor, but less durable than microfiber, is flock Its fibers are very short and glued quite firmly to the base material. The fibers must have a diagonal weave. In the case of the transverse-longitudinal version, it will quickly lose its original properties.
Jacquard – wear-resistant and durable, but Expensive material. Its main difference is the presence of varied and original patterns. Various stains are less noticeable on such upholstery.
No upholstery. This design option is quite common in wooden models. This is very uncomfortable, because it feels like you are sitting on a stool. For such products, they use as a substrate large pillows or swearing, which entails additional costs.

When choosing upholstery material, consider the characteristics of the room. According to European standards, upholstery fabric is divided into three groups: delicate, everyday and intensive use. In our case, it is better to choose a higher level of wear resistance. Some types of upholstery materials are impregnated with special solutions that do not allow water to pass through and make it easy to remove any stains.

Upholstery requirements

The upholstery fabric must be durable. This requirement is universal. But this is very important for kitchen furniture, since nowhere else in the apartment are there so many sharp objects.

Choose a material that does not require special care. For example, suede and velor look chic. But what happens to their coating after regular contact with water? But accidental contamination in the kitchen is not uncommon. And they will have to be cleaned constantly.

So the fabric should be easy to care for and waterproof. So that if something happens, you can easily wipe the stain away. It’s good if the material has dirt-repellent properties, then removing greasy marks will take a minimum of time.

As for colors, the choice depends on the preferences of the owners and the interior. In pursuit of beauty, do not forget that dirt will be very noticeable on light surfaces. Therefore, preference should be given to more practical shades and patterns. For example, patterned.

More about the filler

In addition to the durable frame and wear-resistant upholstery material, the characteristics of the filler should also be taken into account . The ability of a soft kitchen corner to quickly restore its shape depends on this. Inexpensive models use foam rubber, which is not particularly practical and has the ability to quickly restore its shape. Its elasticity quickly disappears, and after a couple of years it begins to crumble and turns into dust. The maximum service life of this filler is about 5 years. For more expensive kitchen corners, polyurethane foam - an improved type of foam rubber. It is an absolutely environmentally friendly material, has a high level of moisture exchange and breathability. There are six degrees of hardness of this filler:

E (ST) - normal stiffness;
EL - increased;
HL - hard;
ER - soft;
HS - hypersoft;
HR — high elasticity;

We would advise giving preference to the latter option. Since you will use your corner very often and it will be subject to constant loads, the seats should quickly return to their original position. Highly elastic material will prevent dents from appearing because it resists deformation better than others. This product will last quite a long time. A high-quality filler has a service life of 8 to 10 years. The cost will, of course, be higher, but it will be worth it. An important factor is the presence of fire retardants in the composition of foam rubber. These are substances that prevent fire. It is rare, but it is possible to find models whose filler is additionally equipped with a spring block. This technique can extend the life of your furniture by several more years.

Standard sizes

There are always recommended standards, following which you can achieve the highest degree of comfort. The dimensions of the kitchen corner were no exception. There are a number of parameters recommended by experts. For example, based on the average build of a person, it was determined that the maximum comfortable seating depth is 50-60 cm. This size is quite enough for a comfortable fit. Manufacturers offer models with depths of 45-70 cm, which allows you to choose the most convenient option, taking into account your build.

The height of the soft corner for the kitchen varies from 80 to 100 cm. This size is influenced not only by the height of the backrest, but also by the height of the seat. Only you can judge the optimal back height. After all, some people prefer it higher, while for others it is enough for the back to barely reach the middle of the lower back. The height of the seats is determined depending on the average height of all family members. This refers to adults only. When seated correctly, your knees should be bent at an angle of approximately 90°. This height will provide complete rest for both the back and knee joints and will have a beneficial effect on the body as a whole. Typically, models have a seat height of 40-50 cm.

If we talk about the L-shape, then the length of its small wing is from 110 to 140 cm, and the large one - from 150 to 200 cm. Such a wide range will allow you to select the dimensions as accurately as possible to the size of your kitchen.

If you decide to place a corner by the window, then do not forget to measure the height of the window sill, because if the back rests against it, it will not look very harmonious. A comfortable and cozy sofa does not have to be bulky and bulky. It is necessary to maintain proportions in relation to other pieces of furniture. Provide yourself with a free passage of 90-100 cm. The distance from the table in front of the corner to the wall should be at least 80 cm. Mentally outline this area and it will immediately become clear to you what size you can afford.

Functionality

The designs of many models of soft kitchen corners are distinguished not only by convenience and comfort, but also by some functionality. If you were still in doubt about whether it is better to choose a corner or chairs, after considering the additional options in more detail, you will definitely decide.

Storage boxes. If your kitchen is small in size and you are sorely lacking space to store all the necessary things, then this function will be for you a real salvation. Both straight and other forms of sofas can be equipped with drawers. They are located under the seat and match it in depth and length. You can store anything in them, from large pots that don’t fit anywhere else, to kitchen towels and napkins. Of course, very good decision.
Soft kitchen corner with sleeping area useful if you often receive guests in your home and have no other extra bed. When unfolded, its dimensions are approximately 100-120 cm wide, and a length equal to the length of the larger wing plus the width of the smaller one. Such models use a mechanism "dolphin", that is, only the long wing extends forward, and the small one has a drawer underneath for storing bed linen. The only point that should be taken into account is that for a full-fledged position of an adult, a length of 180-190 cm is required. That is, such a corner will have overall dimensions about 200 cm, which only owners of spacious rooms can afford.
End shelf can complement the open side of the sofa and serve as a place to store small items. She can like drown inside and so protrude beyond the seat. In the latter case, you must not forget to take into account its dimensions, especially if the sofa will be located close to other furniture.

The best kitchen benches

It is better to equip a miniature kitchen in a Khrushchev building with a compact but comfortable bench. In appearance, such models are not much different from sofas, but they take up much less space. They can also be used as upholstered furniture in the hallway or on the loggia.

Which corner should you prefer – ready-made or custom-made?

Before answering this question, you need to determine exactly where your corner will be located and know exactly its height, overall length and side of the corner. If your needs fit into the range of standard sizes, then you can purchase a ready-made model. They are no worse than custom ones, and will cost less. Moreover, you choose the design itself and its dimensions, and not the appearance, because you will definitely be asked to choose the upholstery fabric yourself.

There is another case when there is very little space, or, conversely, a lot. In such a situation, it is better to go to the store with a ready-made sketch, on which all the dimensions you need will be marked. On the spot you will definitely be given advice and recommendations regarding the possibility of fulfilling your order. Often in the process they offer some pretty good advice that is worth listening to. Custom models are good because you can combine side shelves and storage drawers in one model, or ask for the interior space of the drawers to be divided into sections. In the same way, you can make a non-standard shape of the back or seat, for example, in the form of a shell or wavy with rounded ends. Be prepared right away that the price of such a product will be much higher than the average market cost of models of similar sizes. But you will receive a unique piece of furniture that will highlight the features of your interior and fit into it down to the centimeter.

Model with drawers

A corner with drawers provides additional storage space to accommodate various utensils and products. This option is not very convenient to use, since hidden cabinets require free space to open.

The most practical is considered to be a kitchen corner with storage drawers located at the bottom of the sofa. In most models, to gain access to the niche, you need to lift the seat, but there are options with drawers, which are more convenient. Some furniture companies equip cabinets and ottomans, but the sets are expensive and rarely found.

Corner in a small kitchen - appropriate or not?

The issue of functionality of small kitchens is very acute, because you need to maintain sufficient space for movement, and place a lot of large equipment, and leave a free work area for the cooking process. In fact, it is very difficult. Modern designers resort to a variety of techniques to come to our aid. A very good solution is to use the free space around the window to place small pencil cases or install a tabletop in front of the window. Household appliances can be built into a tall cabinet, thereby freeing up a small space for the desired kitchen corner. It can make a small room more comfortable.

Choose small kitchen corners with built-in drawers that will replace several cabinets. This way you will visually unload the space, make it more comfortable, but at the same time maintain its functionality. Therefore, there definitely should be a kitchen corner in a small kitchen ! This is the most optimal use of free space.

Choose round or rectangular tables with one leg. This way they will visually appear smaller, and it will be more comfortable to sit down. A corner sofa can accommodate many more people than chairs and stools.

Adviсe

A high-quality and healthy kitchen corner must have an appropriate certificate and assembly instructions.
Basic requirements for materials: resistance to moisture, dirt, temperature changes and ease of maintenance.
Sit down on the sofa corner, evaluate the comfort of its seat and back. The seat should be neither too hard nor too soft. The height of the backrest should also be neither very high nor very low.
When choosing a model, pay attention to the fastenings - it is important that they are reliable and fit tightly to each other, but do not creak. It’s good if they are secured with 6-8 bolts. The bottom must be connected to the walls through grooves.
High edges of the backs and reliable hinges are a sign of a high-quality corner. Make sure the table and stools are stable.
It’s good if the cushions on the sofa are removable, for example, with Velcro. Pillows with covers are also a good choice - this allows them to be washed or replaced. In a small kitchen it is better to choose a sofa without armrests. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, you should choose a corner sofa with rounded contours.
The sofa can be with or without legs. In the first case, the corner looks more impressive, in the second, dust and debris will not get under it.
The corner should be located away from the front door, stove, sink, and refrigerator. The best option is near the window.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let’s summarize and highlight the main positive and negative aspects of such a necessary piece of furniture as a kitchen corner. The advantages undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages:

Compactness, due to its relatively small size and ergonomic placement;
Mobility concerns modular models;
Functionality due to built-in storage boxes, shelves, additional sleeping space and the ability to accommodate a large number of people;
Comfort and complete rest while eating;
Possibility of various configurations, for example, poufs, stools and even a table, which will be made in the same style and color scheme;
Possibility of manufacturing according to individual order, which makes it possible to make all your desires come true.

The disadvantages include:

Considering the characteristics of the room in which this type of furniture will be located, the upholstery fabric will quickly become saturated with all sorts of odors. To keep it clean, it is necessary to regularly clean it with special solutions.
The mechanisms fail over time especially with regular use. If we are talking about a frame made of chipboard, then replacing them will be somewhat problematic due to the fragility of the base material.
Inconvenient seating. The person who will sit in the middle, in order to leave the table, needs to lift up everyone sitting on the side.

Kitchen corner selection concept

Everything in the kitchen should be combined with each other, especially the table, chairs and dining area in general. Kitchen chairs that need to be selected in accordance with the general requirements and concept of the room must be at the same time comfortable, reliable and practical. Avoid situations where furniture constrains or in some way restricts a person’s presence in the kitchen or at the table. In order to avoid mistakes and regret the purchased furniture, it is important to seriously approach the issue of choosing the right kitchen corner.

Secrets of a successful purchase

Of course, when purchasing any item, there are always points that need to be given special attention. To make your choice the most successful and practical, consider the following points:

The very first thing is to take accurate measurements before purchasing;
Ready-made kits are always more profitable to purchase than all the elements separately;
The color and style of the kitchen corner should match the interior of the room;
Light colors visually expand the space and fill it with light;
If the walls or curtains have patterns, then the corner should be plain;
Combine light and dark shades of upholstery, this will diversify the color scheme and add an accent;
For small kitchen choose a corner with strict, laconic shapes, without unnecessary decoration, so it will look more compact;
The material of the armrests or other elements should be similar to the material of the kitchen unit. This way the whole composition will look harmonious. If the cabinet fronts are finished with glossy plastic, then the carved wooden corner will look awkward and out of place;
The frame must be strong;
Filler – only polyurethane foam of the highest degree of rigidity;
The optimal upholstery material is microfiber, it is very wear-resistant and affordable;
If at first you think that models with boxes , banish this thought and purchase functional models. Over time, things tend to accumulate, and you will already have a place for them.

Simple, practical tips that everyone can follow will simplify your choice and make your purchase durable and of high quality.

Corner with shelves

A kitchen corner with shelves, like a model with drawers, is designed to create additional storage space. But the rack does not need to be pulled out, so it can be located anywhere. The optimal solution would be a table with a shelf.

There are often models where an open niche is located in the corner of the sofa. It is used to store presses or kitchen items. Semicircular sofas with several smooth angles can even have several such shelves and racks.
