Small kitchens
Optimization of interior space is a modern design solution to the problem of insufficient room dimensions. When arranging, in particular, small kitchens and striving to achieve beauty and the necessary functionality in them, one should be especially careful when choosing furniture.
Functional cabinet doors, sliding carousel mechanism in corner cabinets, additional equipment of the main work table, holders for kitchen utensils, etc. — Here are just a few techniques for optimizing kitchen units. These basic techniques include pull-out table.
Pull-out table in the interior of a small kitchen
Every cook knows how important it is to have at least a little operational space in the kitchen. Pull-out table helps to create it. If necessary, it is easily hidden and then just as easily unfolded.
The clear advantages of using such a table are as follows:
- It is perfect as a coffee table and for everyday meals that do not require a lavish table setting;
It is often used as a small breakfast table. - It can be a good help for the main worktop, conveniently placing ingredients for the dishes being prepared on its surface;
It serves as an additional surface on which you can place small household appliances, remove prepared dishes and products so that they do not disturb the hostess. - A young mother or grandmother can use pull-out table, as a children's drawing table, thanks to which the child will be under supervision while busy in the kitchen;
As an auxiliary piece of furniture, the pull-out table does its job perfectly. - Despite their seeming unreliability, modern pull-out table designs are strong and stable. Perhaps their only drawback is the lack of options for placement.
The structure is built in statically; it cannot be moved to another location, but only transferred to a hidden state.
How is the reliability and operation of the mechanism ensured?
The width of a standard pull-out kitchen table is approximately 45-55 centimeters. On average, the structure can easily withstand a weight of 20 kg. The maximum weight is 30 kg, but this figure is directly dependent on the quality of the parts that make up the structure.
Such important indicators as cost and maximum surface area pull-out tableThe efficiency of the shelves depends, among other things, on how the mechanism for its unfolding is organized. There are three main methods:
- The surface extends along special guides from the floor cabinet.
The maximum possible length of the folding table depends on its depth. - The surface is multi-section composite. The sections are arranged in a "stack" one above the other, with each of them moving along its own guide strip. Due to such a complication of the design pull-out table in its length it ceases to depend on the depth of the cabinet in which it is placed. The surface area increases significantly.
However, this is also the most expensive option. - The most widespread and generally accepted are considered to be pull-out table on a special support leg. There are niches in the floor cabinet for it, into which the legs go when the table is folded.
This method, among other things, provides additional endurance for light weights.
MDF, laminate, and artificial stone are the most commonly used materials for making pull-out tables.
When choosing a color scheme for a future small kitchen, one should not forget about the main principle - light colors and horizontal lines visually increase the space.
A large family and warm relationships within it are traditionally considered one of the highest values in our country. "In close quarters, but not offended" — so said the ancestors. And today the modeling of cramped space — one of those modern technologies that help us to adhere to these ancient covenants.
