A couple of months ago, a long-awaited event happened in our family - moving to a new apartment. In this article, I would like to review my kitchen and share some ideas for its arrangement. Perhaps it will be useful for those who are now in search of ideas for their kitchen.
So, we have a studio apartment, a kitchen combined with a living room with a total area of 17 sq. meters, there is a balcony.
The room is small, so our main task was to make the kitchen set as compact as possible and at the same time very functional. And we did it! We chose calm colors, we are comfortable in the interior where there are soft, not bright, bed shades.
The main part of the kitchen is pretty standard, we used the space above the upper cabinets and made mezzanines there, where things we rarely use are stored. There is also a large sink made of artificial marble in the color of the countertop, it is very convenient to use in operation, easy to clean, not noisy and very beautiful. Its undoubted advantage is the price and ease of care, I like it much more than the metal sink that I had earlier.
On the other side of the table, we have a white induction hob.
The main highlight of our kitchen is the peninsula, which we use both as a dining area and as a place for cooking. The height of the peninsula matches the height of the main kitchen table (91 cm). The dimensions of the table top are 90 cm * 150 cm.
And since there was no suitable place for the cutlery drawer in the main part of the kitchen, we placed it in the peninsula, which turned out to be incredibly convenient in practice.
In order not to spoil the appearance of the main part of the kitchen with sockets,
we carried them out under the countertop of the peninsula. Since the height of the dining table is non-standard, ordinary chairs did not fit at all. Therefore, we purchased bar stools with an adjustable leg. The lowest seat height is ideal for the height of the peninsula. In addition, the child did not have to buy a separate chair, but simply raise the seat of the chair to the desired height.
We finally have a dishwasher in this apartment, and I am incredibly happy with this purchase. I cook a lot and often, and therefore I just needed such an assistant.
We have a dishwasher from BOSCH for 13 sets of dishes.
Firstly, such an assistant allows you to reduce water consumption, and therefore allows you to reduce the cost of paying for water supply. It consumes only 11 liters, which would never have happened if I washed all the dishes that had accumulated during the day with my hands.
Secondly, saves a lot of time. I cook a lot, which means a lot of dirty dishes. Now during the day I do not waste time washing the dishes (even for a few minutes), I just load it into the car as it gets dirty, and in the evening I press the button and go to bed.
The main advantages
- Good capacity, you can load a lot of dishes
- The presence of a separate tray for cutlery, which allows you to place more dishes in the third tray
- The presence of all the necessary programs, including a mode for very dirty dishes, washing at 70 degrees, as well as a night mode
- Despite the lack of a function in which the car door opens at the end of the wash, the dishes remain dry. Due to the high temperature, the dishes dry out, water accumulates in a specially designated place and is reused
