Large family – large kitchen

A big family is not only great happiness, but also great trouble. You need to be able to feed everyone and gather at least once a day, at the same table, to discuss plans for the near future or just to chat.

Our apartments, unfortunately, do not always boast the presence of such specific rooms as the living room or dining room, so the kitchen becomes the ideal place for gathering household members. But in order for everyone to have enough space and was especially comfortable, you need to properly arrange it. So what should it be, a kitchen for a big family?

Designing a design

Starting to create a room designed for the role of a home, you need to think about its situation and mentally try to distribute its area into functional areas. Your main task is to decorate the kitchen so as not to reduce its volumes in any way, neither real nor visually. If the area allocated to the kitchen is large enough, then your imagination in choosing a color solution will not be limited to any framework. Here you just have to consult family members, find out what kind they see this room. After that you will be able to choose a color palette that everyone will like without exception.

In what style it is better to decorate the kitchen for a large family – a rhetorical question.

Here again, it’s a matter of taste and layout of the room. Fans of classicism prefer to furnish it with solid furniture, made of wood and attracts a beautiful natural color. In addition to such a headset is purchased a large dining table and chairs that match the style. The latter should not only be sought in the exterior, but also comfortable.

The adherents of the neostyle often stop at the high-tech version of the decor, where in the situation a bar is provided.

By the way, this piece of furniture will not only become a decoration for a large kitchen, but will also actively participate in dividing it into zones.

In the spacious kitchen ethnic interiors feel good. With the help of decorative elements, you can easily make notes of cultural motifs of different nations. And there can be many such items, because in your kitchen there are quite a few boxes, shelves and other open surfaces for their placement.

How is the kitchen zoned for a large family?

By equipping the kitchen, you will have to be guided by a whole list of rules that provide different nuances.

Since the concept of “big family” assumes the presence of a decent number of people of different ages, then in the kitchen economy, corresponding changes must be made. In the kitchen, machinery, equipment and utensils will certainly be added. In this regard, there may be a problem of lack of space for their storage, because the standard apartment has never yet shone with kitchen areas. To help come built-in kitchen sets, which can be adequately and ergonomically installed in the kitchen of any layout. In this way they save space and leave space for zone allocation.

A large dining table – an integral attribute of the kitchen for a large family

The workspace is an integral part of any kitchen, and not just intended for a large family.

This is her heart, so all the elements located in this area should help to facilitate the cooking process. It is very convenient if the worktop is between the sink and the stove.

If the family is used to having breakfast, lunch and dinner in its entirety, then you will have to allocate the lion’s share of space for dining-area equipment. A new-fashioned bar counter or a popular “island” in this case can be used as an additional detail of the situation. If the house has children, then they will also have to equip a special corner with age-appropriate furniture.

Subtlety of planning the situation

The most difficult thing in decorating a kitchen for a big family is not to create a color background and atmosphere in it, but to properly surround the area so that all present can feel free. In addition, life now puts housewives in a tight time frame, which does not allow them enough time to conduct cooking, which means that the kitchen should have all the specific equipment that allows to speed up the cooking process as much as possible. It also needs to be able to optimally place relative to the work area and each other. Of the standard ways of arranging items, I want to highlight:

1. Single-row accommodation. This is true in small rooms, part of the area which has moved under the dining area.
2. Double row arrangement. It is optimal in spacious kitchens of a square layout. In the center of the room there will always be enough space for the dining table.
3. Angular alignment. The most popular way of furniture, creating maximum comfort in the interior of the kitchen of any shape.
4. U-shaped arrangement. In this case, the furniture is placed under three walls at once, resulting in an incredibly practical “working triangle”. The method is acceptable only in spacious kitchens.
5. Peninsular location. This method of decorating furniture only in combined kitchens of living rooms for a large family is used, and not because it is special, but because in small spaces it is virtually impossible to realize this project. It’s a pity! The same can be said about the presence in the interior of a complete “island” – luxurious, unusual, practical, but requires large areas.

 Conclusion

Again, the sofa to the place – will be where to place them while the table is served. So look at the space of your kitchen and try to transform all your fantasies into it. You certainly will be satisfied with the result! And not only you …
