Corner kitchens, small kitchen design with corner sink

There will be 5 ideas on modern trends in the design of corner kitchens, but first we’ll figure out the sizes of the modules (especially important for small kitchens) and the location of the sink in the corner (and whether it’s worth making a corner one).

Corner kitchen: design and its features

Corner kitchens, photos of which are presented in a wide variety in various design print and online publications, are one of the most universal solutions, as they have a unique property - they can fit into a room of any size, the interior of which is decorated in any style. This property is especially attractive for arranging mini-kitchens.

If we consider the options for corner kitchens, we can distinguish their three main components: one is located in the corner, and two are located on the side of it.

Facade design options

In addition to the shape of the facade, it is also necessary to decide on its appearance. In this case, it is better to proceed from the general style of the house and kitchen, in particular. There are several options for how to decorate a radius façade.

1. Color. If you choose painting or film coating, you can create almost any color that comes to mind. It is advisable not to choose too dark shades, as they are easily soiled and can visually reduce the space. Moreover, the more complex and curvy the design of the headset, the lighter its tone should be, so as not to overload the space.
2. Photo printing. This idea seems dubious to designers, since the image will be printed on radius facades, which means its perception will be disrupted. If you choose some kind of print, it should be abstract drawings and patterns, and not photos of fruits, coffee or the like.

3. Milling. The possibility of milling depends on the material used as the basis of the facade. Some companies are ready to mill MDF radius doors. This embossed option is best suited for kitchens in the style of classic, country, Provence and the like.

4. Glass will make the kitchen more refined and original. It is best to choose a material with a thickness of 4 to 10 mm. There are both matte and glossy surfaces, as well as glass with curly processed edges.

Corner kitchen project: where to start?

The central part is where you should start when planning a corner kitchen unit. And after that, expand it to the required length.

The main elements of the kitchen are the upper and lower modules.

But additional ones include:

- false boxes, in which, as a rule, all communications necessary in the kitchen are hidden;

Modified versions of the “golden” triangle

It is unlikely that it will be possible to maintain the sides of a working triangle (ideally isosceles) in a small kitchen. In practice, modified versions of this layout are more often used:

L-shaped version

• parallel two-row layout: the sink, stove and work table are placed on one side, the refrigerator and other cabinets are placed on the opposite side; in this case it clearly fits into the work triangle;
• U-shaped with one of the zones (for example, a sink) placed near the third wall;

U-shaped kitchen in light shades

Between each of the zones (storage-washing-cooking) there must be a countertop. This is necessary not only for convenience, but for separating electrical appliances and washing.

Kitchens in Khrushchev

With thoughtful arrangement of furniture and appliances, even a small kitchen can accommodate everything you need. As a rule, in a compact room, if the width of the room allows this, a two-row layout is used. A stove, work table and refrigerator should be placed along one wall only as a last resort.

For a right-handed housewife, the most convenient option for placing appliances is from left to right: first the refrigerator, then the sink, and lastly the stove. It will be more comfortable for a left-handed person if they go in the reverse order, from right to left: in the very left corner there is a refrigerator, etc.

With thoughtful arrangement of furniture and appliances, even in a small kitchen you can fit everything you need

Safety requirements must also be taken into account. If there is a hot stove next to it, more intense operation of the equipment will be required to cool the food to the desired temperature. This can lead to its rapid failure.

It is also better not to place it near the window next to the battery to avoid overheating.

Plus, installing bulky equipment in this place will attract unnecessary attention.

Stylish option for a small Khrushchev

If it is not possible to separate the oven and refrigerator using a work table or cabinet, the equipment must be moved to another place away from heat. Can be placed on the side of the front door.

Corner kitchen set

Corner furniture with a built-in refrigerator is a ready-made workspace in which you can easily place equipment according to the rules of the triangle. On one side there is a working area, on the other – a dining area.

When the refrigerator is located at the entrance, it can also serve as an additional partition

It is better to place a bulky refrigerator at one of the vertices of an imaginary triangle - in the corner by the window or at the entrance. If the unit is located near the door, it will be more convenient to unload packages brought from the store.

When the refrigerator is located at the entrance, it can also serve as an additional partition, zoning the space. The door is dismantled. As a result, a wide, easy-to-pass portal is formed.

Advice: If possible, it is better to widen the doorway - the space will visually increase, and the refrigerator will be perceived differently against its background.

Most large stores have the opportunity to select the required number of cabinets made in the same style. This will be problematic only if there are non-standard protrusions or recesses on the walls.

Corner furniture is spacious

Corner furniture is not only quite compact, but also spacious. After all, all angles that are not taken into account in standard kitchen sets are used. Additional space can also be obtained by using rotating and sliding shelves.

It is difficult to select such furniture only for small kitchens of non-standard shapes. To completely cover the wall, you will have to select the production of a pair of cabinets of the required sizes. There is no point in buying a corner kitchen set for a long, narrow room. It is better to arrange the furniture along one line.

Compact corner furniture

Advice For housewives of large build, a sink located in the corner may be inconvenient. Be sure to check before purchasing how comfortable it will be for you to work with it.

About the advantages of a corner kitchen and its design

So what are the advantages of a corner kitchen design? You always want to talk about good things as much as possible, so let’s expand on this question:

• functionality - in such rooms, as a rule, corner sofas are placed. They are small, but they give the kitchen maximum comfort. This is a great additional storage space, since under the seat of the sofa you can hide the most rarely used items;

• compactness - they do not take up much space, but also help to use space efficiently;

• the ability to create effective zoning by dividing the kitchen space into two zones.

Advantages

There are several big advantages in arranging a corner kitchen.

• Compactness - this arrangement is suitable for small spaces (odnushka, studio, Khrushchev), since it uses not only the surface of the walls, but also the corner, which can significantly increase the usable area. It can accommodate additional cabinets, small appliances, a hob, a drawer for household supplies or a trash can. To further save space, you can consider a kitchen design with a corner sink.
• Ergonomics - The L-shaped layout is ideal for organizing the work triangle of sink-refrigerator-stove. This term refers to the location of the main work areas so that they are located at the corners of an imaginary triangle. It allows you to move comfortably while cooking without taking extra steps. The optimal length of the sides is 1-1.2 meters.
• Spaciousness - the angle involved not only saves space, but also significantly increases storage possibilities. So, in the cabinets in the corner you can use rotating systems for storing dishes, and additional space will be provided by a mezzanine set under the ceiling - a whole tier will be added where you can store food, equipment or dishes that are not used every day.
• Convenience - An L-shaped set provides more opportunities for organizing space. The cooking space is allocated to a separate compact area, and in the remaining area it is easier to place a dining table and, if necessary, a soft group for relaxing.
• Versatility - suitable for any size room and looks appropriate in all styles.

A corner set for a small kitchen is the ideal solution to compactly organize your workspace, storage and dining area.

It will fit perfectly into an average-sized kitchen of about 12 square meters if the room has an ideal square or rectangular shape.

Corner layout can also be successful for spacious rooms, studio apartments and kitchen-living rooms. The large area allows for non-standard arrangement of furniture.

Tricks for arranging small corner kitchens

• reducing the depth of one of the sides of the tabletop by 10 - 15 cm - of course, in this case, the useful storage space is reduced, but there is more freedom of movement;

Photo from source: pinterest.ru

• tabletop equipment under the window - when one side of the set is located along the wall with a window. This could also be a mini-tabletop or bar counter;

Photo from source: inmyroom.ru

• installing the peninsula so that one of its sides is along the wall, and the shorter side is across and not adjacent to the wall. Thus, freedom of access to the peninsula is provided on both sides at once. A bar counter/desk can be used as a peninsula. Firstly, it turns out very ergonomic. Secondly, it provides an excellent opportunity to zone the room;

• creating narrower and taller headset modules than standard options - thanks to this technique, the ceiling height visually increases and the headset looks beautiful;

• right angle - perhaps this is the best option if the room is small. After all, a trapezoidal angle will take up more space compared to a straight one.

Console table or chest of drawers

You can always send something classic and non-binding to the corner. It’s better to be low so as not to weigh down the space. For example, a small chest of drawers or a narrow wall table (console). You can display several decorative items on the top of such furniture, and decorate the wall with a painting or a mirror.

Are there any downsides to a corner kitchen layout?

A corner kitchen has not only advantages, but also disadvantages. Since we are honest with our readers, we will tell you about the disadvantages of the project in as much detail as about the advantages:

• if the drawers are open, they will prevent the doors on the side from opening. If you have to plan a corner kitchen, this point should definitely be thought out in advance;

• it is almost impossible to purchase such a set ready-made, so it is necessary to draw up a project for a personal order. Thus, more time is spent on order production; installation requires professional assemblers;

• if you plan to place a sink in the corner, in order to use the space with maximum benefit, you need to equip the corner cabinets from both the lower and upper rows with special fittings. For example, baskets/retractable shelves/multi-story carousel.

Rotary carousel

So that the corner in the kitchen does not stand idle in vain, you can install a rotating carousel in it, which is well suited for corner cabinets with 90° doors and with a 1/2 or 3/4 turntable.

A waste disposal system consisting of three garbage cans, which are mounted on an axis and rotate forward when the cabinet door is opened, would be appropriate here.

How to use a corner in a corner kitchen wisely?

Don't forget that a corner is also a valuable area that can be very useful as a place to store or display something. Among the techniques for effectively using this space, we list the following:

- installation of a rectangular set combined with a corner cabinet - this solution will create a visual impression that these are two different cabinets, but inside it will be a single space. This technique is practical and ergonomic;

- placing built-in household appliances in the corner will give the kitchen unit the most neat appearance and make the corner functional;

Photo from source: asko-russia.ru

— installation of a corner cabinet equipped with a “carousel” inside, which greatly facilitates access to everything that is stored inside the cabinet and provides the maximum amount of free space;

- appearance is something that should not be forgotten, even if the emphasis is on functionality - to make the kitchen space airy and light, the corner can be equipped with open shelves. In addition, this will help save a share of the budget spent on the manufacture of kitchen units and expand the free space;

— "train" fastenings in cabinets - structures specifically designed so that during the process of opening the cabinet, the shelves are pulled out one after another. Thanks to this, there is unhindered access to all items stored in them. Even those that are in the far corners of the closet;

— placing a hob or sink in a corner is one of the most useful options for its operation. Sinks with two bowls look especially interesting;

— placing the dish dryer in the shape of the letter “L” will not present any difficulty and will provide easy access to the contents.

Choice of material and coating

Not just any material can be used to make such a complex structure. For example, solid wood is rarely used, since only certain species are suitable - birch, cedar or beech. Basically, only five options are used for the production of radial facades:

1. Multilayer plywood. It is used by craftsmen who make kitchens with their own hands. In this case, the accuracy of all measurements and bending radius plays a critical role. But plywood is an elastic, durable and pliable material, so production can be started even at home.
2. Chipboard. Another option that can be used at home is that chipboard bends well, so working with the panels will not be difficult. But the very use of bendable chipboard in the kitchen is questionable, since this material has a loose structure with gaps, which means it is not very dense and may lose its marketable appearance just a few years after installation. Bent laminated chipboard is afraid of moisture and temperature changes.

3. Aluminum structures are not the most beautiful option, but they can be used as a frame for the internal filling of the headset. Radial aluminum facades are definitely not afraid of dampness and temperature changes, but they can become deformed and darken during use.
4. Steel is suitable for an ultra-modern high-tech kitchen. You just have to take into account that high-tech prefers strict shapes and lines.
5. MDF. The most used material because it provides the best results. Finished MDF boards do not bend, so they are bent during production using vacuum pressing. It is this method that guarantees durability and preservation of geometric dimensions.

You can also find individual craftsmen who use not very flexible MDF panels at home, bending them after production - this costs less. But this affects the strength of the material, so the durability of the kitchen is called into question.

Finishing

Due to bending, not every material can be used on radial facades, since not all of them can be bent.

For example, acrylic sheet plastic cannot boast of such a feature, so it is not used. Moreover, the process of fixing the material on a bent surface is quite complicated, especially if you do it yourself.

1. PVC film is one of the most popular solutions for kitchen facades, and not only radius ones, but all of them in general. The color range is extensive, and the film itself, if it is of high quality, is not afraid of either moisture or temperature. But if we are talking about poor-quality application or material, then the film may actually begin to come off after some time. It turns out that the most important thing is to monitor quality.
2. Coloring — waterproof enamel is used for this purpose. Enameled doors made of MDF or plywood perfectly withstand dampness and contact with water, increased temperature or sunlight. The paint can be damaged, but the damaged area can be easily painted over.

3. Veneer is a very thin section of wood several millimeters thick. It bends, so it is easy to use for gluing curved facades even at home. A very important point is to correctly calculate the size of the facade. The veneer will make the doors indistinguishable from natural wood, but at the same time such a bizarre shape that wood cannot have.
4. Glass - even radius facades can be glazed. Yes, if we are talking about classic quartz glass, then this option is only made to order. But there is a modern alternative - polycarbonate glass, which bends well and is suitable for DIY work. The main thing is to accurately calculate the dimensions and shape.

Any of these options can give either a glossy or matte finish - depending on the material itself:

• the film can be selected matte, glossy or with a pattern;
• There is also a variety of enamel; you can even layer one layer on top of another to achieve interesting effects, or cover the façade with patina;
• veneer can be coated with varnish - colorless, tinted, matte or glossy;
• It’s the same with glass - it can be transparent or colored, matte or glossy.

Corner kitchen options

When choosing the type of layout, it is imperative to take into account all the features of the room, including its dimensions.

A universal option is to place the headset along two walls that are perpendicular to each other. In fact, this is a classic version of a corner kitchen, so it will fit perfectly into most rooms. It will also allow you to arrange equipment and modules to your liking.

A corner kitchen set, complemented by a bar counter, turns into a “U”-shaped or “F”-shaped set. In the case of the second option, the tabletop is installed in the center of the set. This looks great in kitchens that have a fairly large area.

Types of radius furniture

The concept of a radius kitchen hides several different solutions at once. They differ from each other not only in the number of radial valves, but also in the features associated with this.

1. Rounded corners - in this case, only one or two outer facades have rounded outlines. Not even a radius kitchen cabinet is used as a wall unit, but simply semicircular shelves. Most often this is modular furniture, where only the outer sections occupy a stationary position. The shape does not affect the area of ​​the space in any way, but the kitchen looks more ergonomic due to the absence of sharp corners.

2. Separate radius facades — in addition to bent ones, they also make several central facades. This is no longer modular furniture, since the composition itself is built from a combination of convex and flat facades. This solution is impressive, but takes up a little more space than usual.

3. Only curved facades - here there is already a combination of concave and convex elements. It is very difficult to make such a set with your own hands, so the furniture is made to order. The result will be an unusually impressive set. Especially if the facades are glossy and bright in color. But you need to understand that such a kitchen will take up more space than standard units.

4. Curved set - this is already a fantasy on the theme of Antonio Gaudi, where not only the facades are bent, but also the furniture. The most spectacular solutions are with a bar counter or island. From a practical point of view, this is a very convenient ensemble, but it takes up a lot of space.

Facade bend

Not only can curved furniture itself be of different types, but also the facades themselves can have different curves:

• standard - convex, with a cross-section in the form of an oval arc or circle;
• wavy - the wave on facades can be either vertical or horizontal. The first option is used for wall cabinets;
• with an asymmetrical radius - a very impressive, but also incredibly difficult solution to manufacture;
• concave - the opposite option to the standard one.

The bending radius itself depends on the capabilities of the material and its correct processing. Curved facades will fit into almost any interior, but you should still choose the shape carefully:

• it should not reduce kitchen space;
• must be in harmony with the design.

What role does the bar counter play in a corner set?

The design of a corner kitchen in a modern style often involves the presence of a bar counter. Proof of the real benefit of having this element, first of all, will be the fact that it is capable of performing several functions simultaneously:

- become a continuation of the main tabletop, creating additional workspace;

Photo from source: theidentite.co

- a mini-alternative to the dining table - especially relevant in cases where the kitchen area is not enough to arrange a full-fledged dining area;

Photo from source: ivd.ru

- helps to effectively zone the room - if it is necessary to separate the kitchen and living room, work area and dining room;

Photo from source: projectsgallery.ru

- Helps provide additional storage space.

The bar counter is an element that will look great in kitchens whose interior is decorated in any style.

Today, the kitchen furniture market offers a huge range of different sets that already have built-in bar counters. But even if the kitchen you like does not have a bar counter, you can always order its production separately. The main thing is to take into account wishes for configuration, size, as well as all the features of the kitchen space.

Drawers

This design is quite popular: it allows you to use the entire internal space of the cabinet. At the same time, it is convenient to pull out the desired drawer without touching the rest of the structure. It is important to ensure that the compartments are the right size: if you store pots and pans in them, the height should be sufficient.

The boxes are also suitable for:

• spices, cereals and products that do not spoil at room temperature;
• cutlery;
• cleaning products.

Modern style corner kitchen sink

The “L”-shaped kitchen layout, in which the sink is located in the corner, is very common. This is especially true if the corner kitchen is in an apartment in a Khrushchev-era building. If the angle is right, mini-model sinks in the shape of a circle, or rectangular ones with one or even two bowls, are suitable.

What is Feng Shui?

Smooth curves of furniture are always beautiful and non-trivial. But besides this, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, curved shapes will bring peace of mind, tranquility, harmony in relationships and even an influx into the family budget to the apartment.

And all this because, according to Feng Shui, it is in the corners that negative energy accumulates, which can harm the owners of the apartment.

You can believe in it, you can not believe it, in any case, this is a good bonus to a beautiful kitchen.

About arranging a ventilation ledge or duct when planning a corner kitchen

If the apartment is in a new building or in a standard house, then the angular location of the air duct is the norm, but the headset significantly complicates the process of creating a design project.

If the ventilation box is small, it is easy to bypass it. To achieve this, the depth of the floor cabinets is reduced.

If the box protrudes forward, then the most reasonable solution is to divide it into two parts.

At what height should the oven be built?

Let's take a look at oven control panel The most convenient ovens are those built in so that the control panel is higher than the waist of the person who will cook on it, but not higher than his eye level.

The optimal oven height corresponds to the principle “the control panel is above the waist, but not above the eyes.”

At what height should the oven be placed? No higher than eye level

Features of the corner tabletop

Make a headset in the corner just a work surface - why not? Here you can conveniently place a jug of water, a toaster, a table-top dish drainer, a microwave or a coffee maker - in general, small household appliances and necessary kitchen utensils.

Bar (including tea or coffee)

This is an American tradition. A table or cabinet is installed in an empty corner, with holders for glasses and/or cups on top. Here you can also place a coffee maker, packages of coffee and tea, sugar, a wine rack, etc. This corner makes the kitchen more cozy and welcoming.

Neoclassical

Modern style, which is an interesting mix of timeless classics and trendy modern elements. This is a very practical design that prefers the use of natural materials or their high-quality imitations. For example, the most suitable “marble” or “wood” countertop can always be found in the catalog of the Kedr factory.

Premises requirements

From the very beginning, you need to figure out where you can install the stove.
Since 2021, the set of rules (SP) 402.1325800.2018 “Residential buildings. Rules for the design of gas consumption systems." According to this document, the room must be ventilated. It must be equipped with a window with a window, an exhaust ventilation duct, and at the bottom of the door there must be a gap between the floor and the door with an area of ​​at least 0.02 m² to ensure natural ventilation.

The door from the kitchen should open outwards. The height of the room must be at least 2.2 meters, and its internal volume depends on the gas stove:

• not less than 8 m³ - with two burners;
• not less than 12 m³ - with three burners;
• at least 15 m³ - with four burners.

We have indicated only the most important regulatory requirements; you can find out the details yourself by following this link.

Provence

“Province” is how the name of this style is translated from French. But such a “rustic” designation does not prevent it from being sophisticated and modern. Simplicity and naturalness are the qualities that attract the most in Provence style interiors. If we touch on the topic of choosing a palette, then light shades are a priority. Also among the characteristic features of the style are the presence of floral patterns in textiles, ornaments, ceramic dishes, as well as the effect of an aged surface on furniture.

Refrigerator placement

A familiar refrigerator, standing alone in the kitchen, is a spacious and relatively budget option. But it requires a lot of space. The standard size of the refrigerator is 59 cm, to which technological clearances for air circulation should be added. The built-in version takes up exactly 60 cm.

In addition, a free-standing refrigerator breaks the lines of the corner layout of the room and does not fit into the interior of the room.

A corner kitchen with a refrigerator will look harmonious if you provide it with a separate niche with gaps, decorated in the same style. The second successful solution would be a built-in refrigerator.

Modern style

If we list the most practical interior design styles, then modern will probably take first place. After all, there is nothing superfluous here. All lines and shapes are clear and strict. Among the features of corner kitchens in a modern style are:

— the presence of a variety of hidden, but no less spacious lockers;

— use of built-in equipment;

- a restrained palette.

Finishes that imitate natural stone are also very popular here. Such materials can be used literally in everything: when finishing walls, floors, kitchen aprons, countertops. High-quality examples of the latter are available in the catalog of countertops from the Kedr factory.

End processing

If you want to evaluate the quality of a kitchen, then pay attention to its ends. The best option is an ABS edge; it will last a long time and maintain a presentable appearance, despite hot steam, high humidity and even mechanical stress. Moreover, it is more environmentally friendly than PVC edging.

PVC edge is distinguished by its budget cost. It is not a new material on the market, unlike ABS plastic, which is why PVC is very popular. Over time and under the influence of hot steam, this edge may move away, so it is better to keep the kettle away from it. The optimal thickness of such plastic is 2 mm.

If the facade is painted with enamel, then the ends are also painted over - in this case there is simply no need for an additional edge.

Loft

This is a very original brutal modern style filled with industrial elements. Here you can see a lot of rather rough-looking surfaces and interesting textures - walls with exposed brickwork, like untreated wood surfaces, concrete, uncoated chipboard sheets, plaster, etc. The surfaces are usually matte, the lines are strict.

Answers on questions

Before installation, anyone who does it themselves may have questions. Below are the answers to them.

What size are the projections on the sides of the tabletop from the slopes?

According to the standard - 3 - 7 cm. The gap is usually adjusted to the size of the walls from the window. The longer the surface, the shorter the projections should be.

How much should the countertop-window sill protrude?

There are no strict requirements for this. It all depends on the preferences of the owner of the house. Usually, for personal comfort, a protrusion of 40-60 cm is sufficient. If the protrusion is too large, then additional supports are installed. But the countertop must cover the radiator. This is the main rule.

What should be the length and width of the tabletop?

By standard standards, the length is 3 m and the width is at least 600 mm. If the window is not standard, then the furniture production can order a product for individual parameters.

Corner kitchen in modern design: about trends

First of all, let's touch on the most important question: what angle to make - beveled or straight?

Yes, a beveled one will provide the best access to the contents of the cabinet, but today it is corner kitchens with right angles that are in trend. And this solution also has advantages - such modules will take up less space than trapezoidal ones, so they can be used even in the smallest kitchens. And the issue of access to content can be easily resolved by using “smart” accessories.

Advantages and disadvantages

Such an original set always attracts more attention than a regular one. Moreover, the smallest imperfections and defects of the room remain unnoticeable: uneven walls, defects in the floor covering and the geometry of the room are smoothed out.

There are many advantages of curved facades:

• beauty and aesthetics. Often, only this factor influences the choice of owners, since it plays a very important role. To many, smooth and oval shapes themselves seem much more attractive than constant right angles;
• reliability ensured by good stability. There is no need for reinforcement or installation of any stiffening ribs, so the manufacturing process is not so difficult;
• safety. The owners will long rejoice at the absence of sharp corners when small children appear;
• increased capacity. If we compare the capacity of the same size standard headset with a radius one, the latter will win;
• increased workplace due to radial protrusions;
• zoning. Concave and convex elements can very successfully divide the space into different functional zones;
• wide range of both design and color;
• Possibility of installation in small and large kitchens.

The disadvantages of radius facades are not so numerous:

• appearance. Still, not everyone likes such extravagant furniture;
• price. The production of bent panels is more complicated, the waste of material is greater, and engineering calculations are more complicated - all this is reflected in the cost;
• deadlines. Such a set is often made to order, which is reflected in the waiting time for furniture;
• if the room does not have a large area, for example, in a Khrushchev-era building, then the set may not look as impressive as planned.

Models, manufacturers and prices

Prices for corner hobs vary widely, depending on their type (gas, electric or induction), design, shape, color, size and other important parameters.

Among the popular tiles suitable for easy use in the corner part of the kitchen are the following.

1. Gefest CH 2120 – gas panel with 3 burners. Available in several color options, it has an original shape and a budget price.
2. Maunfeld MGHG.53.19B - gas version in a round design, the price is approximately twice as high as the previous device;
3. VR TC 95 4I is a 4-burner induction hob with a similar shape. It has a glass-ceramic coating and is an order of magnitude more expensive than the first model.
4. A large selection of round and rounded panels are available from kitchen appliance manufacturer Foster . And the Quadra 7235042 model of the specified brand, made of stainless steel, is specially designed for corner installation without a bevel and is equipped with 5 gas burners. True, the price of such an unusual device is 6 digits.

The more intricate the design and shape, the correspondingly more expensive the price tag. However, in the case of installing a stove under 450, it is quite possible to refuse to consider exotic options and focus on the classic design, which will significantly save your budget and make your choice based on the functionality and other important parameters of the hob.

Modern and stylish appearance

The main disadvantage of this layout is the cost, since the selection of furniture and household appliances (the stove itself will require a lot of money). Also, not everyone will be satisfied with complex repairs when organizing such a layout. Organizing a beveled corner may not seem like a very attractive option for owners of small kitchens, since its presence will reduce the already small area. But if you use it profitably, it will all pay off.

But still, if you decide to install a corner furniture set in the kitchen, you should not ignore the option of placing the stove in the corner.

An oven is a very important device, which is intended not only for cooking, but also to complement the interior of the kitchen. The oven should be positioned so that it does not interfere with the housewife’s cooking and is as convenient as possible to use. It is better to think about the location of the oven at the stage of purchasing it. After reading this article, you will learn what recommendations should be taken into account when installing such devices.

Basic Rules

There are few basic rules that need to be taken into account when installing ovens, but it is better not to forget about them. So, you need to remember the following.

• First of all, pay attention to the work triangle: storage, washing and cooking areas. It is better to arrange these zones so that you get a perfect equilateral triangle.

• The installation height of the oven should be taken into account. It should be as comfortable as possible: housewives often have to check whether the dishes are ready; women should not bend too low, otherwise their back will hurt. It is better to place the oven at a height of 50-80 cm from the floor, however, in any case, it is recommended to take your height into account. Place the control panel and digital display at the level of your head so that you do not have to lift it up or bend over.

• Do not place the hob and oven close to the refrigerator , otherwise it may have a very bad effect on all devices. Do not lean such devices against the wall; it is better to leave a few centimeters.
• Do not place the gas oven and hob very far from the pipes. If you suddenly smell gas, you will need to immediately get to the valve that shuts it off. The flexible liner should not be very long, otherwise it can be easily damaged.
• When carrying out installation work, be sure to provide an outlet. If you have electric ignition and electric ovens, this is a prerequisite. Make sure that the outlet is located close to the oven, this will make it much more convenient to use.

Standard location

Many people prefer to install ovens under cooking surfaces. This installation method is one of the most popular, however, it has certain disadvantages: standard ovens are very dangerous for small children, they are not very convenient to clean from dirt. The optimal working surface height for a person is from 80 to 115 cm, the free space in front of the oven is at least 70 cm.

To allow hot air to circulate freely, leave at least 7 mm between the hob and the oven, or better yet, even more. Do not install the oven near curtains or near a window. To avoid excessive heating of the elements, provide good thermal insulation (if the cooking surface is electric). Some devices are equipped with filters that absorb dirt and grease.
