8 examples of kitchens with an area of ​​14 square meters.

Kitchen design 14 sq. M. meters is practically not limited in planning decisions, except that it is difficult to put an island at the same time and a dining table. But here you can customize and more rationally arrange furniture, arrange a roomy dining area, put a large refrigerator, buffet, sofa or bar.

In this material we have collected photo-examples of interiors of eight real kitchens with an area of ​​14 square meters. meters with different types of layouts:

• L-shaped (angular);
• Single row (linear);
• Double row (parallel);
• U-shaped;
• Peninsular;
• Island;
• Combined with a dining room and living room.

Kitchen with L-shaped layout, exit to the balcony and a minibar

Let's start, perhaps, with the most universal, and therefore a common variant of the layout - L-shaped. Corner kitchen is convenient in that it allows to use two walls and an angle between them, as well as to arrange strategic points - a plate, a sink and a refrigerator - according to the principle of "working triangle". However, in this kitchen they are located in a row, but in a reasonable proximity to each other.

Successful decisions on the note:

• As you can see, in addition to the headset in this kitchen there is also a storage cupboard and a niche with shelves, so that not to "overload" the space, hanging cabinets along one of the walls were replaced with open shelves.
• Light colors and gloss are a technique that will help push the boundaries and minimize the lack of natural light.
• The window and exit to the balcony is not accidentally not covered with curtains - this is necessary in order to get as much light into the room as possible.
• A niche in the wall could be set aside for a refrigerator, but this would not be very convenient, so the young owners decided to organize a mini-bar and a culinary library here (photo below).
• Folding table series Norden from Ikea has 6 drawers, in which you can store kitchen trifles - napkins, candles, appliances.

And here is another good example of the design of a corner 14-meter kitchen with access to a balcony in Scandinavian style.

Kitchen with one-row layout, storage and a round table

The next 14-meter kitchen (13.7 sq. M.) Is equipped with a single-row suite, a round table and a built-in storage room. Direct kitchen line is inconvenient for cooking, but because of the window and the ledge with the communications running in it, the owners considered this a perfect solution.

Successful decisions on the note:

• To compensate for the lack of storage space, the suite is lined up to the ceiling with the help of an enlarged third tier. By the way, behind these facades are hidden not only shelves, but also a ventilation box.
• A doorway without a door is another great idea for saving space.
• A narrow dishwasher with a width of 40 cm (instead of the standard 60 cm) allowed to allocate a place for washing with two bowls.

Kitchen with two-row layout, bay windows and a bar

It seems that in the following example of kitchen design 14 square. meters all are provided - a table for 4 persons with a sofa, a bar counter at the bay window, a comfortable work area and a sufficient number of storage places.

Successful decisions on the note:

• Double-row layout is one of the most convenient for cooking, because it allows you to build a triangle in the stove, sink and refrigerator. At such arrangement of furniture it is recommended to place a plate, a sink and a workplace on one side, and a refrigerator, an oven, a buffet, a wine cabinet and other - along the opposite wall. The designer did this in this example and did not lose it.
• The swing door in this kitchen was replaced with a sliding door, which made it possible to save space and put a refrigerator near the wall.
• Most often in erkere place the dining area, but since this kitchen was conceived as a kitchen-living room for meetings with friends, there was placed a bar counter, which was converted from a window sill.

Kitchen with U-shaped layout in beige tones

In the next photo slider you can see the interior of the kitchen 14 sq. M. meters (14.5 sq. m.) has a U-shaped layout, which is good in that it allows you to cook, making a minimum of unnecessary movements.

Successful decisions on the note:

• The side panels of the letter P do not have hinged boxes, which saves the interior from the feeling of clutter - one of the drawbacks of the U-shaped headset.
• But the main part of it is equipped with the maximum of equipment and lockers.
• Take note and the idea of ​​zoning the kitchen mat, which divides the space into two parts, focuses attention on the dining area and does not allow the bare feet of the household to freeze on the tile.

Kitchen with a peninsular layout and a bay window

And now let's look at a variant of a kitchen with a peninsular layout, that is, one where the peninsula rests on one side in the wall or is part of a headset, such as in this 14 square meter kitchen. meters with a bay window. To cook in such a space is a pleasure, while the peninsula can play a role and a bar counter.

Successful decisions on the note:

• Placement of the TV in the niche of the kitchen set is an unusual but convenient solution.
• Under the TV there is a long and narrow hob that allows to reduce the depth of kitchen modules from the standard 60 cm to 55 cm.
• By the way, the peninsula here is also narrowed and has a width of only 45 cm, while the side of the headset near the wall has a width of 60 cm.
• In addition to the oven, a steamer is built in the headset.
• Previously, we have already noted the idea of ​​arranging the doorway with a sliding door or making it only with platbands. In the same case, the swinging door with the help of a hidden box is taken out practically in the same plane with the wall and disguised as it is. In addition, as seen in the photo below, it opens in the direction of the hallway, and therefore does not interfere with the cabinet with built-in appliances.

Kitchen with island

Further we present an example of kitchen design 14 sq. M. m with an island layout. However, the island here plays the role of both a working and dining table - it is in this configuration on the 14-meter area that it becomes possible to place it. However, if the apartment does not have a separate dining room and you have a large family, then the island should be abandoned. However, if you live in a studio apartment, the kitchen is integrated with the living room and / or you are just ready to use the island as a place for meals, then this is an excellent option. Cooking and snacking for it will be very convenient.

Successful decisions on the note:

• Often, the island table is trying to equip with a maximum of functions: a sink, a stove, an extractor, a working surface, a wine cabinet, etc. However, the transfer of equipment and sanitary ware means more complex repairs - with the transfer / extension of the ventilation duct, wiring, water communications, the level of sex. To avoid these difficulties, the island can be assigned only two functions - a working and dining table. In this modern kitchen, this is the decision.
• Do not forget that the passages around the island should be 120 cm or more. In an extreme case, admissible passages are not more than 1 meter.

Kitchen-dining room and ...

And finally, the last example of an interior with an unusual layout. Here, in one space, not only the kitchen is adjacent, but also the grand dining room with the living room. The kitchen-dining area is about 14 sq. M. meters, and the remaining 9 squares are occupied by the sofa zone.

Successful decisions on the note:

• The floor in the kitchen (which is also a through "corridor") is decorated with tiles, and in the dining room and living room - a wooden parquet floor. This technique not only divides the space, but also makes the working and communicating part of the room practical.
• Kitchen furniture, painted in the tone of the walls, creates the illusion that the room is not at all crowded with it.
