Kitchen corner: description, dimensions, materials, selection rules

Varieties of design

A kitchen corner is a set of furniture, the main elements of which are a compact corner sofa and a dining table.
It is complemented by several chairs, stools or poufs. Kitchen corners vary in size, but in most cases they are created taking into account the principles of ergonomics and space saving. Based on the type of construction, this type of furniture is divided into left-handed, right-handed and universal. The first two options are characterized by the fact that the sofas included in their package consist of one long and one extension section. The left-side sofa has the shape of the letter L, the right-side is turned in the opposite direction, and looks like the number 7. Universal models consist of two sections of equal length.

• square;
• rectangular;
• oval;
• round.

On sale you can find models without a dining area. However, corners with a table do not need to be additionally equipped, so they are very popular. The design may include storage space in the sofa tray, and the upholstered furniture itself can be folding, transformable into a sleeping place. The tables are also different. They can be equipped with shelves or drawers for storing cutlery. Sometimes the set includes wall shelves or cabinets for dishes and kitchen utensils.

Kitchen corner finishing options

Laminated chipboard material has a wide variety of textures and colors. They depend on the material used for lamination. For corners, hpl panels, natural veneer, and film-laminated panels are used.

The material for the corner seats is flock or leatherette. Flock is a furniture fabric made from non-woven textiles with a thief glued on it. The material is durable, specially produced for furniture upholstery, but wears out over time. Leatherette is more durable, but unpleasant to the bare touch.

It is worth noting that in the decoration of kitchen corners double upholstery is often used using basic and additional material. Such corners look more impressive. Often, double upholstery is accompanied by the use of additional elements from chrome tubes in the design of the corner body. They play the role of handles, handrails or simple holders of pillows or capes.

There are models of corners with corner tables built into the body. They are usually located in the corner of the structure at the level of the benches or above the backrests.

The most popular sofas for the kitchen

• Straight - traditional models, located along the wall and designed for two or three people.
• Corner ones are practical, save a lot of space and, thanks to the presence of spacious niches, solve the problem of placing kitchen utensils.
• Sofa-couches - their design does not provide a frame, so they are mounted on the wall, which saves usable space.
• Semicircular ones are the best option for a spacious kitchen. These models make the room more comfortable and are ideal for accommodating a large company.
• Bay windows are creative solutions for the interior of a non-standard kitchen. Such furniture is more intended to create comfort rather than provide additional functionality to the room.
• Sofa beds - this type of kitchen furniture provides a sleeping place. The models are more expensive than traditional ones, but they can solve the problem of receiving overnight guests.

Form

If you have a small kitchen, consider a two-piece nook - an L-shaped design of a large and small sofa looks good even in the smallest space. True, they are not very popular, since they are designed for only 3-4 seats.

The three-section design is much more familiar: a traditional corner sofa with a small central area takes up more space, but is much more convenient in everyday life. In addition, it is in such models that more often there are additional options - hidden drawers or a sleeping place.

Size options

The variety of standard sizes of ready-made sets is one of the advantages of upholstered furniture for dining rooms. There are extremely compact options. In large rooms, corners with expanded functionality are sometimes used. But more often standard sized kits are installed.

Standard

The following parameters are common:

The drawings below show several models with parameters close to standard ones, with and without a sleeping place.

Choosing furniture for the kitchen in a private house

The choice of a kitchen corner for a private house, as for a city apartment, in most cases is determined only by the size of the room where it will be installed. But in private homes, the design component plays a more important role when choosing furniture. Thus, kitchens are often decorated in a rustic or ethnic style, which entails the purchase of appropriate furniture.

Furniture of this style is characterized by the following features:

• pronounced features of the rustic style, maximum presence of natural materials;
• minimal amount of plastic, glass and chrome parts in the finish;
• the natural texture of materials is not obscured, on the contrary, it is often emphasized;
• the color scheme is made in light natural tones;
• often kitchen corners are made without upholstery;
• Sometimes such furniture is made by hand, without the use of modern tools, machines and units.

In arranging the kitchen space of a private or country house, wicker furniture, including corners, is often used. They are less functional than regular ones, but better suited in style.

Kinds

Corner sofas with a berth can be divided into several main types. A soft folding sofa can be folded out in different ways.

Straight models

They are chosen if the kitchen is combined with the living room in order to visually divide the space. Most often, a straight sofa is made into a folding one to provide another full-fledged place for sleeping, storing things or kitchen utensils. Dimensions vary depending on the transformation mechanism and the available free space in the kitchen-living room.

The four most popular transformation mechanisms are:

1. Book. Ideal for sleeping, has a large sleeping area. This is one of the simplest and most durable mechanisms to use. Features of operation: it is necessary to move it away from the wall by 15-20 cm (for ease of unfolding). It is recommended to use if the installation niche has an overall length of 180 cm or more.
2. Eurobook. One of the most common mechanisms. Consists of two independent sleeping places, which when folded out form a double bed for a good night's sleep. Recommended for use if the sofa niche has an overall length of 180 cm or more.
3. Accordion. It consists of three parts connected to each other and folds forward according to the “accordion” principle. A high, wide and level sleeping area is perfect for sleeping and relaxing. Easily and quickly unfolds. The main advantage is its compactness; when folded, it takes up only 60 to 100 cm in depth, and when unfolded it is a full-fledged bed with a large sleeping area. It is recommended to use if space in the kitchen is limited and the size of the niche for installing upholstered furniture starts from 80 cm.
4. French folding bed. The mechanism is often used in the manufacture of various models of upholstered furniture, mainly due to its compactness and ease of assembly. It is recommended to use if space in the kitchen is limited and the dimensions of the niche for installation start from 80 cm.

Corner and modular

For small kitchens, if you need an alternative to chairs or an addition to them, corner or modular models are suitable. A corner sofa fits perfectly into a small room. Its design can provide an additional bed, drawers and shelves for storage, armrests with a minibar. The disadvantage of corner-type upholstered furniture is that rearranging the kitchen will be problematic due to its size and lack of suitable space.

The modular design allows for easy rearrangement. For example, a corner kitchen sofa can be turned into two benches and placed on either side of the table. Unlike monolithic furniture, a modular sofa is a combination of individual parts. They are universal: they can be used both as independent chairs or benches, and combined into a composition.

Classic corner sofa

A sofa in a classic style is just a godsend for small kitchens. This model can often be seen complete with a table and a pair of stools.

This model does not have armrests, which will make it difficult to pass between the table and the sofa, and is often easy to assemble independently.

Unlike chairs, it is much more comfortable. As a rule, to save space, seats are made narrow: the standard seat width is 60 cm, and if you need to choose a more compact option, you can find models with a seat width of 40 cm.

The most popular for modern kitchens are universal sofas that can fit into any interior style.

Modern furniture in the mid-price category, as a rule, has a neutral appearance, but you can emphasize the stylistic unity of the kitchen using the color and texture of the upholstery.

Corner sofa bed

In a small apartment, a common problem is accommodating overnight guests. A corner kitchen sofa with a sleeping place will help out.

It is the corner configuration that can provide a larger sleeping area. It is very important that in the kitchen it is possible to place a sofa bed, one of whose sides is 180-200 cm long.

As a rule, it is impossible to lie down and sleep on a classic sofa due to the small width of the seat.

For a sleeping place you need at least 70 cm, so these sofas are made as folding ones. In stores you can choose furniture with different types of transformation into a sleeping place.

For a compact sofa, the dolphin-kangaroo mechanism is most suitable. The sleeping place extends out from under the seat, while the short one remains static. The mechanism is reliable and takes up little space.

Sofas with a book or click-clack mechanism are also popular. Konrad or Verona mechanisms make it possible to make the sleeping area wider.

The French cot provides perhaps the largest sleeping area.

Corner sofa with additional drawers

The distance of the sofa from the floor to the seat is 40-45 cm. The thickness of the seat takes no more than 5-10 cm with a layer of filling. The remaining space can be used to store kitchen utensils.

In any kitchen there will always be things that you don’t know where to put. A very convenient place is a box under the seat.

The most common solution is a reclining seat. Lifting the seat gives access to a spacious storage compartment. You can put large pots, a bag of bags, and cookbooks in this drawer.

There are options for kitchen sofas that have drawers under the seats. However, you can certainly only store rarely used items there, since you can only access them by moving the table away.

Mechanisms of transformation

First of all, you should pay attention to folding sleeping corners in terms of their ability to transform. The most popular of them are the French clamshell and the dolphin.

Dolphin

Most often in construction stores you can find folding sofas with a “dolphin” mechanism. This sleeping place consists of two main parts. The first of them is the main seat, where you and your guests can sit at any time of the day. The second is a retractable seat, which, if necessary, either moves out or hides back. This sofa is designed to be as easy to use as possible.

In order to unfold such a sofa, you just need to pull its lower part towards you and slightly pull it up. This type of transformer is perfect for use in everyday life. This system is best implemented in corner sofas.

The advantages of such a folding system include the ease of unfolding the structure. Even when unfolded, such a sofa does not take up too much space. A corner sofa of this type is also complemented by a fairly spacious drawer in which you can store linen and all your belongings. This is very good for a small apartment. An additional bonus of such furniture is that such a sliding sofa can be easily repaired.

French folding bed

This is another popular option for kitchens with small options. But it is recommended to buy such furniture only for those who plan to use it for sleeping very rarely.

When this mini sofa is folded up, it does not attract much attention. It consists of three separate soft sections hidden in the frame. They overlap each other, so when viewed from the outside, no one will guess that your sofa has a full-fledged sleeping place hidden in it. To unfold the sofa, just pull its upper section towards you. This way, your sofa can easily unfold to form a soft and comfortable bed.

The main advantage of such a sofa is its compactness. When folded, this sofa takes up virtually no space. But it has more disadvantages than the previous version. Due to the fact that it consists of three separate blocks, the surface of your sleeping area is unlikely to be level.

When unfolding a transformer with a berth in a crossover, each time you will have to deal with the need to constantly remove the pillows or removable armrests.

Also, such a system is more often used not in corner sofas, but in classic rectangular designs.

Bay windows

Often in new buildings, special niches are made in the kitchen near the window. Bay window models are specifically designed to organize space in this zone. Since there are no standard sizes for bay windows, as a rule, furniture of this type is made to order according to the exact dimensions of the niche.

Note! Buying ready-made furniture in standard sizes is always cheaper and faster than making it to order. However, if the shape of the kitchen is non-standard or the dimensions do not allow installing a ready-made sofa, the optimal solution would be to order it from the manufacturer according to the required parameters.

Equipment

As a rule, a standard kitchen corner is equipped with a table and several chairs, usually two. This set is extremely functional, convenient and practical. It takes up little space, but provides a lot of useful features.

Table

The table that comes with the kitchen corner must meet some mandatory requirements:

• Be strong and stable.
• To suit you with its shape and size.
• Fits harmoniously into the overall interior of the kitchen.

The materials for making tables are natural wood, laminated chipboard, MDF, glass and metal. Of these, wood is the most preferred, but also more expensive. However, you cannot find a better natural material for the kitchen. A worthy replacement for wood in the form of MDF and chipboard costs much less, which is why it is most popular. Original glass tables with a metal frame are typical for adherents of modern youth styles.

Considering that the table usually comes complete with a corner, it is made of the same material as the corner itself. At the same time, the owners do not have a choice of table material. Choose the entire set initially so that it immediately matches your kitchen.

The shape of tables can vary from round to completely bizarre. It all depends on the features of the headset and your preferences. The size of the table is selected according to the length of the corner. The more people you plan to place at the table, the longer its length should be. The most popular are transforming tables. Folded in half, they are able to fulfill their functions for a family of 2-4 people without taking up much space. If necessary, such tables can be folded out to double the usable area.

Ottomans (stools, chairs)

Additionally, the kitchen corner set usually includes 2-3 chairs with backs or stools. For individual orders, their quantity can be increased. All chairs and stools must provide the appropriate level of comfort, so they are equipped with soft seats. For this, thick foam rubber or polyurethane foam is used. Soft spring ottomans have proven themselves to be excellent.

The shape of ottomans can be round, square or rectangular. Legs or wheels are used as supports. Such seats, being attached to the main corner, can be used as its extension. The style of the chairs must match the style in which the main corner and table are made. The material for their covering does not differ from the material of the main seats of the corner.

There are several fillings for the sofa. You can easily choose to suit your taste

Spring ones are not suitable for a sofa in the corner of the kitchen. Here they take cast, soft or block ones. The properties of each are different.

This also includes block and cast polyurethane foam. But the manufacturer distinguishes it into a separate group. From its name it is clear that cast ones are made from a single piece located over the entire surface of the seat, cushion or one section. Block ones are assembled from identical pieces. They are identical in characteristics.

Comfortable and stylish corner sofa for the kitchen

Of the above, latex and polyurethane foam are clearly superior to the rest in quality, service life and comfort. Foam rubber has the lowest wear resistance. And padding polyester, holofiber or padding polyester are not rigid.

In terms of quality, service life and comfort, latex and polyurethane foam are clearly superior to other materials.

The choice depends on the personal preferences of the buyer. You definitely need to try on the furniture and sit on it. It is important to understand whether guests will spend the night here, whether the sofa is purchased only for meals, or whether the residents intend to often sleep on it themselves. The choice of rigidity depends on this. The fact is that it is more pleasant to sit on soft upholstery, but constantly sleeping on it is harmful to the human body (spine). Take this into account.

When buying a sofa for the kitchen, immediately decide on its purpose. Based on this, choose the sofa filler

Hard or soft?

It’s not just a matter of personal preferences: there are objective parameters that you can’t turn a blind eye to.

Hard corner sofas are more practical - the upholstery material is usually resistant to dirt and less dense. Yes, and they are cheaper. On the other hand, sitting on them is not very comfortable. This problem can be solved by purchasing additional pillows.

When purchasing a soft corner, you need to pay attention to the upholstery. The model can look great in the interior... Until the first dinner! Make sure that the fabric or leather is thick and easy to clean from dirt - otherwise you will be happy with your purchase for a couple of days at most.

Frame

The lifespan of a sofa depends largely on the strength and reliability of the frame. The metal frame is heavier than wood, so it is not often used in the kitchen. The wooden frame is durable and reliable.

You can opt for plywood, which will also last a long time. The most budget option is laminated chipboard. However, keep in mind that it can quickly get wet from below from spilled liquid.

Material for dining area

Of course, it is better to purchase furniture made from natural materials. It is environmentally friendly and will not emit harmful substances in a humid and hot kitchen atmosphere. But the plus of the rest is low cost and availability.

Metal. Typically used to make frames. It is resistant to moisture and durable. Of the minuses, it looks ideal only in modern interiors. Durable but cold. If the table is entirely made of this material, then the hands will not be comfortable, especially for children and the elderly. Typically, metal models are complemented with glass.

Natural wood. Used in luxury furniture. Environmentally friendly material, reliable and incredibly beautiful. But it does not tolerate moisture well and requires more careful care.>

Chipboard. Cheaper than natural materials and more resistant to moisture. Today, not only corners are made from chipboard, but also furniture and kitchen countertops.

Sofa upholstery

Textile. It must be water- and dirt-repellent. The presence of children and simply mischievous people in the house will lead to food getting on the seats. If the fabric is not protected, it will be difficult to remove stains. Light colors in a white kitchen look incredible, but it also becomes unsightly very quickly. On dark ones, traces may not be noticed. An option for those who do not like to clean furniture often.

Leather and leatherette. Durable and easy to clean. But such a corner will not be cheap.

Corner without upholstery. It will be a little hard to sit on. If you rarely eat in the kitchen, then this option will be more economical. Or you can buy or sew pillows separately.

The fabric must be durable if there are many people in the house. Constant contact will cause abrasion of the material.

Let's figure out what kind of upholstery is available on the modern market. Here's what you'll find in the store:

• velours;
• jacquard;

Exploitation

Recommendations for use and care of the soft corner:

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the furniture to fade. Close your curtains tightly in summer; the best protection is blinds.
• To clean the surface of the headset, use a stain remover, then rinse the area with warm water. Use only soft brushes and sponges.
• Clean velor, jacquard or flock fabrics using a classic or hand-held vacuum cleaner.

• Wipe laminated or wooden surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth once a week. Wipe the countertop after every meal.
• Treat fabric-based models made of microfiber and suede with special water-repellent compounds.
• You should test a new cleaner or detergent on an invisible area of ​​the upholstery to see how the fabric reacts.
• Immediately after delivery of the headset, wipe the surface with a soft cloth. At sub-zero temperatures, condensation forms on the furniture, which must be removed.

• Equip a kitchen hood, this will allow you to maintain the correct temperature and optimal humidity in the room, and protect soft surfaces from steam.
• Make sure that sharp objects do not fall on the soft corner, as they can damage the coating.

Size

Most standard sizes look like this:

• a standard sofa has a length of 110-140 cm, a sleeping sofa should have a length of 180-200 cm;
• the seat height is usually 40-50 cm, and the depth is 50-70 cm. With these dimensions you can sit quite comfortably;
• The back height is usually 80-95 cm, but can reach 100 cm in standard models.

Of course, the most convenient for a specific kitchen will be a sofa made to individual sizes.

Design combination

Corner furniture in the kitchen is combined with interior elements. These are walls, floor, ceiling, kitchen unit. The color and design are selected appropriately. For a wooden frame, with varnished facades, classic styles will suit you. This is old England, Provence, Scandinavian. The latter is a modern phenomenon in old age. Suitable for any type of room.

Corner sofa in the kitchen in Provence style

The upholstery is chosen in color similar to other textile elements of the room. If there are curtains, curtains, drapes or a separate lambrequin, the shade is similar.

How to choose the right model

A suitable corner is selected taking into account the customer’s requirements and the size of the room. A small model will look ugly in a spacious kitchen. Before purchasing, you need to decide where the piece of furniture will be installed. It should not interfere with the opening of the refrigerator doors or block access to the stove, sink, or cabinets. It should not be placed at the exit from the kitchen.

The upholstery is fabric, it has a beautiful appearance and a wide range of colors. Synthetic fabrics are used for finishing, as they are easy to clean and do not absorb moisture. Sometimes genuine leather or its substitutes are used as upholstery. It is best to choose a material that can be cleaned without problems, since soot and grease splashes are difficult to get rid of.

When choosing a kitchen corner, you need to pay attention to the depth of the seats and the height of the backrest. The choice depends on where the corner will be located. If near a wall, you can choose a backrest that is not too high. If it is to be used as a divider between the working and dining areas, the backrest should be high for comfortable sitting at the table. The depth should not be more than half a meter, otherwise it will be awkward to reach for the table.

When choosing a model, you need to consider the location of the main part of the seat: left-hand or right-hand. Fasteners and hinges must be made of high quality and firmly fixed so that the furniture lasts a long time. The upholstery should not have cracks or creases - this is an indicator of high-quality furniture. A kitchen corner has many advantages:

• Thanks to such compact furniture, useful kitchen space is significantly saved. It takes up less space than a standard dining set;
• a complete image is created and there is no need to select individual elements;
• thanks to the spacious drawers under the corner, additional space is created for storing dishes, which is very important for the kitchen;
• comfortable and cozy atmosphere in the room.

However, there are also disadvantages:

• the corner is not suitable for large families and people who often invite guests, since the number of seats is limited;
• if the kitchen is long and narrow, then it is better to refuse such furniture.

A kitchen corner is an excellent furniture option even for a kitchen with niches. It is practical and functional, which is why many people purchase it to place it in their kitchen.
