A kitchen with a countertop by the window is a convenient work surface, good lighting And original solution for the comfort of the housewife.

When placing the sink near a window, it is worthwhile to provide a drying area for dishes drawer cabinet located next to the sink and dishwasher. This way the dishes will always be within easy reach.

If a battery is installed under the window, then special ventilation grilles must be provided in the countertop so that warm air could go up.

Kitchen-living room in a private house

Design large kitchen in a private house, especially combined with a living room or dining room, it often includes elements such as an island (peninsula) and a bar counter. The island can also serve work surface, and a table for a quick snack.

Both the island and the bar counter can zone the space of a large kitchen.

If you like built-in refrigerators, then you can install two built-in refrigerators in a large kitchen. You will get a built-in analogue of a side-by-side refrigerator.

And there is a lot of storage space and working area: This solution is perfect for those who cook a lot and often. In a kitchen of this size, several people can comfortably cook at the same time.

If there are niches or ledges in the house, then the kitchen can be divided and placed between the columns.

An example of the arrangement of kitchen furniture between columns. In one part there is a stove and an extractor hood, in the other there is a sink and a built-in oven and microwave. The island serves as both an additional work area and a dining table.

If the kitchen windows are located on different walls, then you can place both the kitchen itself and dining area. In this case, textiles for window decoration should be chosen in one style, but it can be different colors and shades.

The important point is proper lighting. A large number of the presence of windows in the room does not exclude carefully thought-out artificial lighting, especially in a large room. It is worth providing functional lighting for the work area, using spotlights to illuminate a table or recreation area. It is also worth thinking about decorative lighting of the walls using sconces.

In a private home, the layout of the kitchen can be quite varied. If the area of ​​the room is small, many problems arise when arranging this space. Let's look at the most common options for a small kitchen and the features of their design in a private home.

An elongated narrow shape is perhaps the most inconvenient option for arranging a small kitchen. It is worth choosing and thinking through the arrangement more carefully in order to maintain ease of movement and try to create the most ergonomic space. Depending on the width of the kitchen, furniture can be placed in an L-shape or a U-shape. We recommend installing furniture along a narrow, blank wall; this will make it possible to straighten the shape of the room and also provide additional area desktop.

Since the room is small, it is better to avoid experimenting with color, opting for a neutral or light monochrome palette. Often also small kitchen interior It can be white or black and white, which is very justified.

If the form small kitchen is close to a square, then this is quite good. In such a room it is much easier to find the optimal arrangement of furniture and kitchen equipment. The only problem may be the inconvenient location of the door and window or even several windows, especially in a corner kitchen.

In a square kitchen with an area of ​​more than 5 m2, it will be quite possible to arrange a dining area by placing a compact dinner table or a bar counter. Such an area can be integrated with a worktop or located separately from one near the walls of the room. More appropriate bright details as kitchen apron or several accessories. Or some of the furniture doors can be chosen to contrast with the other part of the kitchen set.

A kitchen in the passageway part of the house is not the most comfortable location option, so it is quite natural to want to visually clearly separate the kitchen from other areas. Ideally, if it is possible to leave a passage on only one side, compactly placing the entire kitchen furniture. It’s worse if you have to walk across the kitchen area, for example, in rooms with access to the patio.

If the side passage is wide enough, then you can try placing a tall one on the side kitchen rack, so the food preparation area will seem more isolated and comfortable. If the area is not well lit, you need to take care of additional local lighting of the worktop.

But an open plan imposes its own restrictions on the choice of furniture and decor, since the kitchen space must match the style of the rest of the room. However, there are absolute advantages to this, since with this arrangement you don’t have to limit yourself in choosing texture and color furniture facades and finishing.

A kitchen island with a bar counter is often used as a zonal partition in kitchens of this type. However, it is quite possible to place a regular cutting table with an apron at the border, the height of which will be enough to cover the work area. Border open kitchen can be straight or curved to the best way balance the location of individual zones and passages in the overall studio space.

Do you want to receive perfect interior kitchens country house? Then take your time Special attention convenience and ergonomics, beauty and practicality. Before developing a kitchen design in country house, study 3 factors that have a significant impact on the interior:

• family living here (number, lifestyle, personal preferences, pets);
• the style of a country house, on which the private interior style of the kitchen will depend. Let's say, if the house is decorated in the spirit of classicism, then high-tech will be inappropriate here, unlike country or Provence;
• room size. If the house is large, then the kitchen is approximately 30 sq.m., often combined with a living room or dining room. In all other cases, kitchenettes are made small so that there is more space for the dining room. The main thing here is to correctly position the “working triangle” (sink-stove-refrigerator) and provide enough space for cooking.

Let's consider several options on how to properly design a kitchen in a country house. First of all, it depends on the layout, although in any case the kitchen should have a working, dining and transit (for free movement) areas.

Types of layouts that will fit into the interior of a country house kitchen (photo below):

1. Open. Suitable for a home where the kitchen is combined with the living room or dining room. It requires a clear delineation of functional areas, which can be done using a bar counter, a kitchen island or a partition with a window. At the same time, the unity of the styles of the kitchen and the rest of the room should be maintained. Subspecies:

• kitchen-dining room (usually a dining table is placed in its center);
• kitchen-living room (requires special compatibility of furnishings in both rooms).

2. Narrow long (furniture can have a single-row, U-shaped or double-row layout). In this case, you need to order a shallow set (up to 40 cm deep) with sliding doors. In this case, it is better to decorate the interior of a country house kitchen in neutral or light shades.

3. Square. Such a kitchen may have many doors and windows, which creates a problem with furniture placement. In this case, use sliding doors hidden in the wall, as well as short curtains: Roman, roller, simple blinds. Original interior country house kitchens will work if you go to the center square kitchen put a round island where the sink, stove, place for cutting board and a bar counter. And in the corner of the room you can install shallow cabinets and a refrigerator.

4. Passage. This kitchen design in a country house requires two entrances and exits, which often results in the feeling of a “crowd in the room.” If one of the doors leads, then place the table and refrigerator next to it so that family members do not disturb the hostess with their trips for something tasty.

5. Island. In a sufficiently large kitchen, you can already place not only furniture along the walls, but also a beautiful and multifunctional kitchen island. This is the easiest way to get original design kitchens in a country house.

Kitchen design features (and photos below):

1. To get stylish interior kitchens of a country house, you need to pay special attention to window decor. In the house, housewives often place the sink opposite the window, because it is more pleasant to wash dishes and enjoy the view beautiful garden. Often in such a kitchen there is a separate door that goes out onto the veranda or street to the gazebo.

2.Usage ceiling beams and various multi-level ceiling structures, which help to divide the room into functional zones.

3. Additional storage systems. The design of a kitchen in a country house requires a pantry, cellar, cabinets for storing groceries and kitchen utensils. Very often, one of the walls of the kitchen is allocated for storage systems, and a large two-door refrigerator is also located there.

4. Location lighting fixtures.

The interior of a country house kitchen features increased natural light thanks to more windows than in an apartment. Therefore, lamps are placed in the center of each functional area. Bright light should be in the place where food is prepared, and soft and diffused light should be in the corner for relaxing or eating. This can be achieved using a combination of pendant, wall, floor or built-in lamps.

5. There is no need to place communications exclusively along the walls.

That is why the design of a kitchen in a country house is often distinguished by an island layout, because in this case it is possible to minimize the perimeter of the “working triangle” (sink-stove-refrigerator), i.e. reduce the daily “mileage” of the housewife in the kitchen.

6. You can make a fireplace and install more household appliances.

7. The interior of a country house kitchen is most often decorated in classic, rustic or ethnic styles, as well as in eco-style or Provence. Sometimes a real stove is installed instead of a fireplace, then the room becomes the embodiment of “ hearth and home».

8. In kitchens and utility rooms houses have a lot of places to store kitchen utensils, so when designing a kitchen in a country house, you can refuse wall cabinets, making the room even more spacious. An alternative is open shelves, as well as glass or stained glass doors of shallow cabinets.

9. Various small issues that provide increased comfort to the hostess are better thought out here:

• at what height to place the oven;
• where to place small table or a bar counter so you can have a quick snack;
• Is a door or partition needed to prevent odors from entering the living room? Is it possible to get by with a folding screen and a powerful hood;

The ideal kitchen design in a country house requires careful consideration of all the details and layout of the room in order to obtain a unique aesthetic and functional interior.

A kitchen in a private house can be large or small, separate, combined or walk-through; it often has irregular shape and features like ceiling beams, mansard roof, boiler, exit to the terrace... There can be a lot of conditions that need to be taken into account in the design of the kitchen of a private house. In this material, we have collected 12 general tips that will help you plan an interior from scratch or transform an existing environment, and also presented a selection of 60 inspiring photos.

Tip 1. Choose a kitchen interior style in accordance with the style of the facade of the house and the features of the area

As a rule, the interior style of the kitchen of a country house (and other rooms) is formed based on the tastes of its inhabitants, as well as taking into account the style of the facade of the house itself. Sometimes the choice is influenced by the features of the area where the house is located. Let's say its history or proximity to the river/sea. It’s so great when the interior, exterior and surroundings of the house are a natural continuation of each other. Here are some tips to help you decide:

• In classic mansions and cottages, lined with brick or stone, it is appropriate classic interiors in style: Empire, eclectic, chinoiserie, French or, as well as a more democratic American style.

• IN wooden houses made of timber or logs, a kitchen in the style of: rustic, eco, Gustavian (Swedish Empire style) and, of course, a hut (for log houses) or a noble estate (see photo below) will look most organic.

• In modern cottages with panoramic windows, most often, or eco.

• In siding houses, Scandinavian and “rustic” interiors, as well as simplified classic style(American) and industrial.

• If the house is located by the sea/river/lake, then you can choose Provence style.

• If your home is located near a ski resort or you visit the countryside mainly in winter time, then take a closer look at the chalet style.

Tip 2. To make your kitchen comfortable, follow the “working triangle” rule when planning

According to this rule, three strategically important areas - the sink, stove and refrigerator - should be located next to each other, forming a triangle.

• The distance from the stove to the sink should be no less than 60 cm and no more than 180 cm. It is good to place a food preparation area in this gap. The distance from the sink to the refrigerator can be from 45 cm to 2 m. In this gap there is a “unloading and loading area”, as well as an auxiliary kitchen appliances, say, an electric kettle, a toaster, etc.

Tip 3. The most convenient kitchen layout is U-shaped, the most versatile is L-shaped.

From the point of view of the “work triangle”, the most successful layouts are:

• U-shaped - when the furniture and work points are arranged in a U-shape, you can cook while standing almost in one place, making only turns with your body. True, for such a layout the width of the room should be no more than 3.2 m, and better - no more than 2.4 m, otherwise the distance between the side parts of the headset will become too large.

• Island - no matter how you arrange the furniture in the work area, especially if you equip it with a stove and/or sink. However, even the smallest island requires space, because there must be passages of at least 1 meter around it. We talked in more detail about the arrangement of the island in Tip No. 4 (see below).

The most universal layouts are:

• L-shaped - a little less convenient, but the most universal furniture arrangement scheme, which is especially relevant rectangular shape. When choosing this layout, it is advisable to place the refrigerator in line with the sink, and not the stove.

• Linear is a universal, but most inconvenient option for kitchen layout. Due to the fact that the working areas are arranged in one row, during cooking the cook has to walk back and forth extra meters more than once, which means wasting time and effort. However, for small kitchens this option is often the only possible solution.

A two-row (parallel) layout is suitable for:

• Double-row - suitable for kitchens with a width of no more than 3.2 m, and ideally no more than 2.4-2.5 m. In this case, the stove and sink are placed side by side in one line, and the refrigerator, along with the oven and microwave, are placed on opposite side. Sometimes a dining table is placed between two rows of furniture as shown in the photo below.

Tip 4. If your kitchen has an area of ​​more than 18 square meters. m install a desktop island

An island is a super-functional table that can serve as a place to prepare food, a place to store utensils and groceries, or a bar for breakfast and snacks. You can also build a stove, sink, wine cabinet, or a small refrigerator.

This assistant is especially relevant for:

• Kitchens with an awkward linear layout;
• /dining room (see photo)/hallway.

Keep in mind that a small island measuring 120x100 cm is suitable. Such a table can also be mobile. The shape of the island should match the shape of the room.

• In a kitchen with an area of ​​less than 18 square meters. meters instead of an island, you can install a peninsula, which is more compact due to the end abutting the wall or furniture.

Tip 5. If the kitchen is a walk-through, work points should be arranged so that the passage always remains free

If the kitchen is a walk-through kitchen, for example, combined with a hallway, or has access to a terrace or backyard, then the work area (that very “triangle” of stove, sink and refrigerator) needs to be planned so that it does not intersect with the passage. Then the running back and forth of household members will not interfere with the person preparing food or cleaning.

• Remember that the width of the passage should be at least 1 m, and ideally 120 cm or more.

By the way, in a walk-through kitchen it’s great to use a bar counter, island or peninsula as a space divider.

Island in the walk-through kitchen of a country house

If you have the opportunity to install/move the sink to the window, then by all means use it. This way you can admire nature, the backyard lawn, or at least the view of the sky above the cottage village every day, while going about your daily business. However, a significant extension of communications is not always desirable.

... in whole or in part, replacing them with open shelves if the roof slopes hang too low. This way you won’t clutter up the interior and make good use of the walls under the slopes. In this case, the lower cabinets should be equipped primarily drawers, which are much more convenient and spacious than cabinets. The following selection of photos shows examples of arranging a kitchen in the attic.

Tip 8. If the kitchen is combined with a living room or dining room, zone the space

Zoning the space brings a sense of order and comfort to the interior. Here are a few techniques that are especially relevant for a kitchen in a country house:

• Finishing the floor in the kitchen and the floor in the living/dining room with different materials. So, for example, if all the rooms have wooden floors, then in the kitchen it can be covered with more practical tiles, porcelain tiles or stone.

• Partial insulation of the kitchen. To prevent clutter in the kitchen or dining room from spoiling the look of the living room, you can install sliding doors, curtains, panel curtains, screens, low or narrow partitions.

• Zoning with lighting. In the kitchen, it is enough to install a bright overhead light and furniture lighting; the lamps themselves should be laconic. But in the living room the light should be multi-level and softer, when the main ceiling lighting is complemented by floor lamps, wall sconces and table lamps. The lamps themselves can be elegant. It is advisable to highlight the dining area with pendants or a chandelier installed directly above the table as shown in the following photos.

• Arrangement of furniture at the boundaries of zones. As delimiters you can use: a bar counter, a dining table, an island table or a peninsula, a sofa, armchairs, consoles and shelving.

• Use of carpets. A large rug on the floor in the living/dining room will divide the space and create coziness. You can also lay a carpet between the zones. For example, between the work and dining areas.

Tip 9. For a combined space, a powerful hood is required

To protect curtains, upholstery, pillows and carpets in the living room from culinary odors, you should install a dome-type hood with a capacity of at least 1000 m 3 /hour.

Tip 10. Black and dark brown floors, countertops, splashbacks and furniture fronts are impractical

Even the smallest crumbs, water droplets and dust are visible on dark surfaces. Therefore, the most dirty areas in the kitchen - the apron, countertops and especially the floor - are best decorated in light shades.

Tip 11. When decorating the kitchen of a country house, try something that you didn’t dare to do in a city apartment

This may be a different interior style, bold colors, non-standard layout, decorating techniques or things that you like, but do not fit into the interior of your “urban” kitchen.

Tip 12. Use mainly natural materials in decoration and decoration

Submitting to the idea of ​​closeness to nature interior decoration at home, you can fully experience all the charm of life outside the city.

• When decorating the kitchen of a private home, try to avoid using vinyl wallpaper, plastic panels, double-glazed windows, laminate and unnatural linoleum.
• The ideal furniture for the kitchen of a country house is wooden (including plywood and veneer), forged and wicker.
• It is also better to choose natural or mixed textiles.

However, in some cases, the use of artificial materials is justified. For example, a tabletop made of artificial agglomerate much more practical and durable than countertops made of natural stone(see material:), and a nylon carpet is almost as good as wool and does not cause allergies.
