We take into account the nuances

The kitchen is a room that is subject to increased operational and sanitary requirements. When planning repair work All its features should be taken into account:

• small area - in a small kitchen in the house old building You will need rational organization and visual expansion of space.

Planning is the key to successful renovation

Development of a room design, including selection stylistic direction, color range, finishing materials, arrangement of furniture, household and lighting fixtures can be ordered professional designer, or do everything yourself.

Rough and preparatory work

Before starting repairs, it is necessary to empty the room of equipment and furniture, and clean the walls, floor and ceiling of old, worn-out coverings.

Replacement of plumbing equipment

It is better to replace old pipes in the kitchen before starting renovations. The most budget option is a polypropylene pipeline, the elements of which are attached by welding. It is not afraid of corrosion and does not require the installation of cuffs or gaskets. More durable are metal-plastic pipes, but they are more difficult to install. The most durable and reliable is a copper pipeline. It resists loads and deformations well, has an antibacterial effect, but is expensive.

Wiring

When replacing power lines, it is necessary to take into account the saturation of the kitchen household appliances- this will allow you to choose the optimal one. You should also recharge the main and additional lighting fixtures.

Window replacement

For a kitchen area, a plastic product would be optimal. The material resists temperature fluctuations, provides high-quality noise and heat insulation, and is easy to clean. Wooden windows with double-glazed windows they look beautiful, are environmentally friendly, “breathable”, but are more expensive than their plastic counterparts.

Arrangement of the doorway

The entrance area of ​​the kitchen can be decorated with a door (plastic, wooden, MDF). It's better in a small area. This architectural element can be made of plasterboard or wood - the main thing is that the option for arranging the doorway to the kitchen should fit harmoniously into the interior of the room.

Surface preparation

Do-it-yourself kitchen renovation involves leveling the walls in one of the following ways:

• by plastering - a traditional way to obtain a smooth, monolithic surface by applying several layers of cement-sand mixture. Its disadvantages are labor-intensive implementation, high consumption building materials, the inability to level out large uneven walls;
• using sheathing plasterboard sheets― a quick and easy way to create smooth surfaces by creating false walls on metal frame. This method is not suitable for a small room, since it takes up part of its area.

An option for leveling the kitchen walls is shown in the photo.

Apron design

In the kitchen, it performs a practical function, protecting the wall from steam and dirt, and is also decorative element rooms, filling the space between the upper and lower compartments of the headset. If you choose a budget finish and design of the apron, then cladding with plastic or MDF panels will do. The slabs are quickly installed, easy to maintain, and their joints are protected with special overlays, which prevents the ingress of moisture and dirt.

A more reliable, hygienic and durable option is finishing the apron with tiles. Tiles come in different colors and textures, which allows you to implement different design. Although tiles are more expensive and labor-intensive to install, such a coating will last for ten years. Finishing method kitchen apron tiles are shown in the photo.

Exclusive ways to decorate a wall working area- facing with stone, mosaic, glass or mirror panels. Glossy surfaces will not only allow you to create a non-trivial design, but will also visually expand the space of a small kitchen.

Wall repair

The most simple way decoration of these surfaces is painting. It can be plain, gradient, contrasting - it all depends on the desired effect. In a small kitchen, it is better to use light washable paint with a glossy sheen, which visually adds volume to the room. In large rooms it is advisable to use semi-matte/matte finishes. Decorative painting will make painted walls more original. vinyl stickers. The variety of materials allows you to implement the most interesting ideas painting the kitchen.

A budget option finishing the walls of the cooking room - wallpapering. Thanks to the variety of colors and textures, they allow you to create different designs. In the kitchen, it is preferable to glue vinyl or non-woven wallpaper - they do not absorb grease, dirt, moisture, do not fade in the sun, are easy to clean and allow the walls to “breathe”.

The traditional way to decorate the walls of a food preparation room is cladding ceramic tiles. It has different designs, sizes, long service life.

The tiles are quite labor-intensive to install, but they allow you to create a durable coating that is resistant to dirt, moisture, and impacts.

The photo illustrates how to use decorative plaster to turn an ordinary small kitchen into a work of art.

Ceiling finishing

Materials for ceiling decoration should be easy to maintain and have increased resistance to aggressive environments. It can be:

• polystyrene foam boards are the most budget option. They are easy to install and moisture resistant. The disadvantage of this coating is its unsafety and simple design;
• paint is inexpensive and quick way ceiling finishing. It is applied to a previously leveled and primed surface, dries quickly and is washable. This coating will have to be updated periodically;
• plasterboard - the material allows you to quickly level surfaces, hide wiring and communications, is hygienic and fire-resistant, and provides additional sound insulation of the room. GCR also allows you to implement different ceiling designs - to form a multi-level suspended or tension structure.

Please note that in a small kitchen it is better not to use massive structures; they take up part of the space. The photos below will demonstrate various options finishing the ceiling of the cooking room.

Flooring

Finish flooring Placed on a flat, clean surface. The following can be used to decorate the flooring:

• linoleum is the most budget option. The coating is moisture-resistant, highly wear-resistant, easy to install and easy to maintain;
• tiles are the most best option flooring for the kitchen floor (practical, durable, has different designs, allows you to lay a warm floor);
• laminate is a beautiful wood-look covering that is easy to install. For the kitchen, it is better to choose moisture-resistant slats with increased wear resistance;
• cork is an environmentally friendly, pleasant and warm-to-touch flooring that is not afraid of dirt, moisture, or mold. But this coating cannot withstand mechanical cleaning and the use of aggressive household chemicals.

Let's figure out how to inexpensively buy a high-quality kitchen, ready-made or to order, and not overpay - the secrets of an inexpensive kitchen from the pros. Regular expert website interior designer Yanina Krasnova told us what options you can save on without compromising the quality and convenience of the kitchen. Choose those that are right for you.

Compare prices correctly

• Calculate the cost of your future kitchen from several companies. An important point: it makes sense to compare prices only when you have a clear vision in your head and in your hands a kitchen design project with dimensions and a list of materials and accessories (professionals call it a specification).
  Different manufacturers use different materials. To find a truly inexpensive headset option, compare prices for specific materials and items.
  One company quoted you a very low price, but three other competitors have a much higher price? It is quite possible that an unscrupulous manufacturer simply uses cheap non- quality materials. Take an interest in the brand of MDF, chipboard, plastic and other elements of the headset and ask the seller for safety certificates for them.

Discounts, promotions and sales

• High quality and beautiful kitchen You can buy it very inexpensively at the sale of exhibition samples in furniture showrooms. On the sites large manufacturers kitchen furniture There is usually a special section where headsets are presented that can be purchased at a special price. Sometimes the discount can reach 60-70%. Often, ready-made sets are sold together with built-in appliances, fittings, hoods, countertops, sinks and mixers.
  Example: at the time of publication of the article, a Mix22 kitchen from the Maria factory with a length of 2144 mm with Beko and Elikor appliances, a Franke sink, a plastic countertop with a starting price of 236 thousand rubles could be purchased with a 45% discount for 130 thousand rubles.
• You can also buy an inexpensive kitchen from a stand at furniture exhibitions (in Moscow they are regularly held at the Expo Center and Crocus Expo). The main thing is to have time to book the set you like.
• Kitchen sellers often offer promotions and discounts. But be careful: sometimes special prices turn out to be simply marketing gimmicks. For example, a discount on a countertop can only apply if you order a turnkey kitchen from the showroom along with everything household appliances and accessories.

We buy the headset in parts

• A good way to get a good and inexpensive kitchen is to take a ready-made cabinet required sizes, for example, in, and order the facades separately. Some companies specialize specifically in the manufacture of facades, and they work not only in Moscow and the region, but also deliver throughout Russia.
• Another option is to order inexpensive cabinet frames from a small furniture factory or a private owner, and choose more expensive facades from a specialized company or the same IKEA.

Which cabinets are cheaper?

The main rule is what simpler design kitchen modules, the cheaper the kitchen.

Inexpensive kitchen = standard?

• As a rule, yes. If you want to spend less, you will have to limit yourself to standard sizes of modules and facades. Almost any manufacturer can make a kitchen to your individual dimensions. But most furniture companies, especially large factories, in this case will take an additional payment for non-standard (usually 25-30%). Some private manufacturers do not add a markup. But depending on your luck, problems may arise with the quality of work and materials, warranty and deadlines.

Facades

• The most inexpensive facades are smooth, solid, without milling. If you are counting on an economy class kitchen, you will have to abandon radius (curved) and paneled (frame) doors.
• Budget option - models with facades made of laminated chipboard. But even the most inexpensive MDF kitchens are much stronger, more environmentally friendly and last much longer. Ask a consultant to calculate your headset in both options. It is likely that the difference will be very small.
• Combine budget materials with more expensive ones. For example, facades base cabinets can be ordered from chipboard in plastic or MDF in PVC film, and the top ones from higher quality and more effective MDF with “high gloss” enamel. A great way to make an inexpensive kitchen more respectable and more expensive.
• If you need inexpensive glossy kitchen, pay attention to sets with facades covered with glossy PVC film. Of course, such a mirror shine as acrylic enamel they won't give it. But MDF with film costs 25-40 percent cheaper than plastic and 40-60 percent cheaper than painted ones.
• If your budget for buying a kitchen is limited, and you have always dreamed of a set made of solid wood, take a closer look at MDF facades with veneer cladding natural wood. It is almost impossible to distinguish them from wooden ones by appearance, and the price is noticeably lower.
• Kitchens in the Art Nouveau style with smooth, laconic facades are much cheaper than classics with intricate milling, complex finishes, grilles and stained glass inserts.
• In inexpensive kitchen projects, designers try to do without glass facades or use them to a minimum. Transparent glass is cheaper than frosted or painted glass (lacobel), but translucent doors look better - the view of the contents of the cabinets will not create a feeling of clutter.

How to save money on accessories wisely?

When ordering a headset, a significant part of the budget is consumed by the filling. Is it possible to save money on it without compromising the convenience of the kitchen?

• When planning your kitchen, consider which cabinets you will use most often. It is on them that you should install the highest quality, reliable and convenient fittings, and on the rest you can save a little.

Tip: It is better to invest in lower cabinets to make them as spacious and comfortable as possible.

• Expensive guides (metaboxes and tandemboxes) can be placed on a couple of the heaviest, deepest and most popular drawers, for example, for pots, pans and groceries. For the rest, you can get by with inexpensive but fairly reliable roller guides.
• A similar approach works well with lifts for horizontal folding facades. Place a good Aventos lift from Blum on the cabinet that you use most often, and for other doors you can buy simpler and cheaper fittings (the same gas lifts).
• Pay attention to what kind of handles the designer offers you in the salon. It is quite possible that you can save a lot of money by purchasing better quality pens yourself.
• If Italian or German pens don’t fit into your budget, take Polish or Russian ones, but always with a galvanic coating. The most inexpensive Chinese ones quickly scratch, fade and lose their appearance.

Case finishing

• The laminated chipboard from which the kitchen cabinet is made may also differ in price. For some manufacturers, the most popular decors are cheaper and are available in warehouse positions. Other options may be more expensive and are often available only on order.

Which countertop is cheaper?

• The most popular option for middle and economy class kitchens is a countertop made of plastic-laminated chipboard. The price is affected not only by the quality of the finish, but also by the thickness of the base. The most inexpensive option is made from ordinary chipboard with a thickness of 26 mm. A tabletop made of moisture-resistant chipboard 38 mm thick will cost about twice as much.
• Kitchen modules from which inexpensive ones are assembled ready-made kitchens, often do not have a common tabletop. Each module has its own. The option is budget, but not very practical. There will be micro-cracks between the cabinets that allow dirt and moisture to get into them; they are more difficult to care for, and the furniture will quickly become unusable.

How to save money on built-in appliances?

• Kitchen showrooms often offer to order a turnkey set - along with built-in household appliances. Its prices are usually higher than in online stores (sometimes the difference can reach 30-40%), and you will most likely have to pay extra for its installation. Perhaps you should just buy the equipment separately? Yes, but there may be nuances here. Example: if you refuse to buy equipment in a showroom, the seller may make an additional markup on cabinets and facades, especially if you chose non-standard modules, or increase the cost of assembling the set.
• If you cook a little and often ventilate the kitchen, you can do without a hood. This way you can save not only on the purchase of the device, but also on a special cabinet for it. However, keep in mind: over time, plaque will still appear on the furniture, and the body and facades wall cabinets may be damaged by exposure to hot steam.
• Household appliances of reduced dimensions save space, but not the budget. If the kitchen area allows, buy standard-sized appliances. As with cabinets, the price for custom models is higher.

Is it worth saving on assembling a headset?

• Collector services often have to be paid additionally. The usual rate is 10% of the cost of the headset. For inexpensive kitchens in Moscow you can find collectors who charge a fixed amount or name the price for linear meter. Theoretically, you can save money and assemble the kitchen yourself. But keep in mind: many manufacturers provide a guarantee for furniture only if the set was assembled by their specialists or officially certified craftsmen.

It is quite possible to create the magnificent design of the kitchen of your dreams with minimal investment: you just need to thoughtfully plan your free space and purchase furniture and kitchen corners economy class. The tips in our article will help you decorate your kitchen interior stylishly and inexpensively.

Standard Khrushchev apartments are usually equipped with small-sized kitchens; it is very difficult to create comfort and place everything you need in them. On a positive note one can call the exceptional unification of such premises, so you can save money when ordering kitchen sets and buy a ready-made option.

Corner kitchens for economy class Khrushchev apartments they are distinguished by more careful space planning, ergonomic furniture and inexpensive components.

Before you design such a mini-interior, you should clearly understand what details it is better not to skimp on.

The most important elements of the kitchen

• Furniture fittings. Abandoning world-famous brands in favor of domestic manufacturer, but it is not advisable to buy obviously low-quality and unreliable fasteners and mechanisms. Even the design of furniture handles affects the cost, so here you can choose a simpler option.
• Lighting. All work surfaces should be illuminated as much as possible, and you can use a wide variety of devices, from mini-lamps - spotlights to powerful chandeliers with halogen lamps. It is better to equip corner kitchens with duplicate lighting fixtures from each side.
• Kitchen sink- the most functional place in the kitchen. Even for a Khrushchev-era apartment, it is better to choose a full-size sink made of high-quality material than to then experience all sorts of inconveniences when using a mini-sink that does not fit pots and pans. Rectangular models are preferable to round or corner ones, since in this case the working area will be used more practically and optimally.

The easiest way to save money is on furniture: more expensive corner sets made of MDF or natural wood will successfully replace kitchens made of chipboard and laminated chipboard.

With careful care, you can make a plastic one instead.

A stone countertop in the interior is extremely beautiful and practical, but if you are on a limited budget, you can buy an inexpensive laminated chipboard one, which, with proper care, will last for many years.

You can do it yourself if you use selected photos and tempered glass. The cost of such a transformation is several times less, and the design is almost as good as an expensive glass panel.

The best decor can be memorable items, children's drawings, family photos and trinkets dear to the heart.

What to save on

You should avoid additional furniture decorations. Gilding, carved patterns and all kinds of decorations will not only distract attention, but will also increase the cost of the set.

Using factory colors will help you save money and provide an additional advantage: later you can easily purchase missing parts or accessories without any problems.

An analogue of the usual dining table can serve as a bar counter, the cost of which will depend on the material of the countertop and fittings. Original and practical solution when planning small kitchen Khrushchev will use a window sill instead of a dining table.

For the most economical people, a special self-adhesive film is suitable, which can be used to cover furniture facades or tabletop. In addition to saving money, you will also be able to modify the familiar interior as you wish, for example, if you wish, you can apply any photos from the family archive to the film that will fit well into the design of your kitchen, and then paste it over the set.

Tricks for decorating an inexpensive kitchen

Budget kitchen is not necessarily synonymous with bad and short-lived. When ordering a kitchen set, the cost is greatly influenced by some points that are difficult to foresee for the uninitiated. Using these simple techniques, you can significantly reduce the price with the same functionality and ease of use.

The nuances of economy class cuisine

1. Corner headsets will be much more expensive than linear ones. This can be played up by placing, for example, a refrigerator in a corner.
2. Simple design: all kinds stylish accessories, which look so good in the photo, can be purchased much cheaper on your own.
3. Built in furniture also significantly increases the price of the kitchen, so if it is a budget option, it is better to avoid it.
4. Simple outlines: corner or straight kitchens will be cheaper than the option with a bar counter or free-standing island.
5. Furniture "filling" significantly affects the cost of the headset: the smaller it is pull-out shelves, the cheaper it will be.
6. Independent purchase: even this seemingly mini-detail takes up a decent portion of the price of the furniture.

All sorts of marketing tricks will also help when arranging the kitchen interior: discounts and sales of past collections or just an exhibition version. It is rare, but you can find defective models, the shortcomings of which can be easily eliminated independently and at home.

It can be:

• mini damage to facades;
• chipped glass parts;
• slight discrepancy in color palette;
• unsuitable furniture fittings;
• other minor defects that can be easily corrected.

A good alternative to buying ready-made furniture set Furniture will be ordered in disassembled form. Self-assembly will not take much time, and the price of such a purchase will be much less.

You should also pay attention to small manufacturing firms that can be found in every city. Their prices for services are much lower than those of venerable companies, and the quality and range are quite decent. The best way to navigate when choosing such companies is on the advice of friends. Do not hesitate to ask for documents and certificates for products, inquire about the “homeland” of your headset and ask to see photos with examples of finished work.

Economy-class kitchens are a popular solution for decorating the interior of a standard Khrushchev-era apartment. Corner and linear mini-headsets, selected taking into account simple recommendations given in our article will help you do kitchen interior as functional and beautiful as possible. Reasonable savings and the choice of suitable decor - this is what such decisions are based on.

Economy class kitchen units cannot be placed in a separate product area. The cheaper or economy class is indeed prevailing not only from a financial point of view, but rather more from the point of view of expediency. Today's living space sizes, as a rule, do not allow it to be furnished with a full set of included elements.

Economy class kitchen furniture

An inexpensive kitchen also looks beautiful and stylish

The lack of need for all the components of a furniture set is also a factor that inclines consumers towards purchasing economy class. A smaller number of elements, accordingly, affects the reduction in the cost of all headsets.

Manufacturers offer a wide range of budget kitchens

In most cases, consumers are mistaken about the quality of furniture in this price segment - not at all. The manufacturer under no circumstances tries to reduce the amount of materials used, make changes to the design or use lower quality components.

When choosing inexpensive furniture pay attention to the layout

Economy class kitchen furniture is nothing more than a complete set of kitchen furniture, equipped with a smaller number of furniture elements. This allows this furniture to fit perfectly into small apartments, where kitchen furniture, as a rule, has to be made to order.

In what cases can you save money?

If there is an unreasonable desire to reduce the cost of a brand new kitchen, or simply there is not enough full amount for the set, then you need to think through everything wisely, excluding frills from the amount. It is a cold and balanced calculation that will save a significant amount for your wallet, and will add pride to your ability to correctly prioritize.

IN Lately the most common word is crisis, which is equivalent to “failure,” “shortage,” “problems,” or “dissatisfaction.” And kitchen furniture is no exception. While you were entertaining yourself with thoughts of modern kitchen with the corresponding futuristic furniture, this very crisis has made the choice for you, postponing the purchase until later.

This is why a truly valuable skill would be to reduce the overall cost of your kitchen furniture. In this case, there is no need to reinvent the wheel or hire a designer.

Budget kitchens watch video panorama of presentations:

Materials

If you have an irresistible desire or need to reduce the cost when buying corner kitchen furniture, then pay attention to. Greater savings can be achieved through a linear layout or even an installation option... believe me, it will be cheaper due to the functionality of the solution.

Bright facades look stylish

Think through the design down to the smallest detail, but do not forget that ergonomics should not suffer.

MDF, chipboard

The rejection will be quite noticeable natural materials: Wood will hit your wallet hard. Here you can talk a little about the types of material. inexpensive, durable and easy to maintain. Their price will be based on the cladding. Modules coated with PVC film are the most budget-friendly, but think about those coated with plastic/varnish because they will be more expensive. The most affordable option will become film chipboard for . At the same time, varnished chipboard will be much easier on the pocket.

If you want to order a budget kitchen option, replace glass facades with blank ones

True, be it a budget option or a premium kitchen, it really good manufacturer there will be no fundamental differences in the quality of the product. IN in this case even cheap kitchens they will amaze you with theirs.

Blind facades should be bright

In the economic pursuit, you still shouldn’t cut corners completely; sometimes it’s better to pay extra than to regret the quality later.

Solid facades instead of glass

White doors look good on textured facades

If it's vital for you important elements are not glass inserts, aluminum frames and stained glass facades, then it’s not worth purchasing them. And to avoid boredom in the case of a meager and dull atmosphere, simply order multi-colored doors.

A bar counter can replace a dining group

For aesthetics, you can resort to open facades and shelves, which not only bring style to the room, but also reduce its cost.

Economy class kitchens:

Tabletop

Again we are trying to resort to the main criterion - replacing more expensive materials with accessible ones. Let's say fans natural stone let them consider an alternative to artificial, and this is considering that it is not inferior in its parameters, and some of them even surpass the original. Without taking into account style and originality appearance, solid wood, metal and glass are quite demanding in maintenance. However, their low cost cannot be taken away from them.

Regarding the countertops, it is worth mentioning the material used to make them. In this case, these are MDF, chipboard and fiberboard - the materials are inexpensive, however, this does not detract from their advantages.

There are special requirements for the countertop

Wood and glass are even better to use and maintain. In addition, they have significant model range with a wide variety of textures and colors. At the same time, turn to the ends of the countertops so that they are airtight, without any microcracks or chips. Due to the fact that affordable MDF, fiberboard and chipboard are not able to tolerate moisture. Getting inside the material, moisture will affect swelling and deformation, which cannot be eliminated. Good and high quality, pay attention to this manufacturer.

It’s better not to skimp on the countertop

From several parts

Tabletop glued from several parts

Discussing specifications We can’t help but touch on the topic of sizes. The dimensions of a stone countertop are limited by the size of the slab itself: 3050x1400mm, therefore long countertops can be divided into different shapes. First of all, this is an L-shaped form, as well as a U-shaped one, which consist of several parts. During the installation process, the seam is tinted according to the color of the stone and at the end it is rubbed flat, allowing it to become almost invisible.

The general standard thickness is 2-3 cm. If you want a more massive tabletop, you can resort to additional manipulations such as gluing, which will add 5-6 cm to the stone.

Do-it-yourself tabletop, work process:

Interesting kitchen countertop, or even a long bar counter will depend on the brand, color and shape.

As a rule, today modern polymer has gained maximum popularity due to the possibility of composing countertops from several parts. True, here you will also have to take into account certain disadvantages of acrylic stone. In particular, they scratch easily, are quite sensitive to abrasions, are easily deformed, and food residues and other mechanical stains are very noticeable on them. The darkest volumes here are the most capricious, oddly enough.

There is nothing comparable to wood.

Restoration

Restoring the headset will give it a new life

The simplest restoration option is to cover the kitchen with colored film.

The reasons for restoration are:

• Obsolescence. Years have not spared the kitchen, the facades are scratched or loosened, and meanwhile the aesthetics lose their former shine.
• "Domestic" disasters. It is not uncommon for the kitchen to be flooded by neighbors. For a kitchen set, this can be disastrous.
• Repair. Any kitchen needs renovation, it’s only a matter of time, so in order not to stop developing, restoration work is the best that can be offered.
• Embedding technology. Some elements of the headset require appropriate placement, even if it is located inside the cabinet. Fashion trends have not spared anyone. Just 10 years ago it seemed wildly inconvenient, but today the desire is to “stuff” more into the closet.
• Changing configurations. The inconsistency of a rectilinear kitchen may affect its replacement with a corner option.
• Difficulties. Drawers getting stuck, headset breaking.
• Wear or change of unpresentable appearance.

There are indeed many problems, but the main skill is solving them. The most democratic solution is to repair it yourself, where you can’t do without tools..

What can we get to here: the basic free principles for restoring a countertop: ; application self-adhesive film; varnishing; dyeing, fabric finishing; constriction. The methods are simple and won’t take you a lot of fiddling with.

Restoration of a kitchen set:

Care

Kitchen Chipboard furniture does not require anything special in care, she is not afraid of any detergents, and she is very presentable.

Therefore, in order to prolong her life you will have to:

• Keep surface dry. But we note that the quality of furniture is improving. Contact with solvents and alkali is contraindicated.
• Clean with suede or just a soft cloth.
• Metal spaces headset wipe with a wet cloth.

Proper care will extend the life of your kitchen set

By following these rules, your kitchen set will always be a “charman”!

Any family may face the question of purchasing a kitchen set. Not every young family can afford a spacious, expensive option.

An aesthetically pleasing, comfortable kitchen can be purchased not only for exorbitant amounts of money. There are many subtleties, knowledge of which will allow you to purchase a high-quality economy class kitchen.

Inexpensive kitchens differ from expensive options in several ways:

• Limited functionality;
• Minimalism in design, lack of a large amount of decor;
• Inexpensive materials;
• Relatively small in size;
• Separately purchased kitchen modules;
• Manufacturer specializing in the production of economy class furniture and fittings.

Dimensions

In a small room reserved for the kitchen, it is convenient to install a ready-made, small kitchen. Cheap options are usually located in store windows, so choosing them won't take much time.

In a compact kitchen of standard sizes it is comfortable not only to cook, but also to spend evenings in family conversations. And specially designed headset modules have standard sizes, so their choice on the market is extensive.

Furniture for standard kitchen sets is quickly delivered and assembled on site by the owner according to instructions or by a craftsman provided by the supplier.

To avoid unpleasant surprises, you need to make sure the sizes are correct before purchasing. It is better to take measurements yourself, distributing each segment of the kitchen for the future furniture module.

Non-standard approach

Instead of ready-made version For a combined economy class kitchen, you can purchase individual elements: cabinets, shelves, drawers, stove, sink, tables. This option is convenient because the client can independently select the minimum set of necessary furniture.

Often batches of inexpensive economy class kitchens are mixed, so important point is the selection of furniture made in the same style, matching shades.

Design

The first step is to decide on the design of the kitchen: color, tone, shape. Cheap headsets usually have rectangular shapes. Behind individual style with roundness, unusual artistic solutions, colors and curves, you will have to overpay.

Secrets of designing budget kitchens:

• Because the budget kitchens, as a rule, are located in small room, then it is important to make maximum use of the available area, occupying all the free space;

For example, unoccupied table shelves can be disassembled and a dishwasher or washing machine can be placed under the tabletop;

• It is better to design the kitchen interior “from scratch”, drawing up a project yourself, choosing colors, materials and furniture;
• As stylish decor You can use self-made modules: vases, wall panels, textured stylization of decoration, old, unused equipment. The elements must be combined with one of the styles in which the interior is designed: country, high-tech, modern, classic;
• Emphases should be placed depending on preferences: focus on aesthetics and simplicity or comfort and warmth.

Materials

The most economical material is particle boards. They can be laminated or lined with plastic and inexpensive veneer. MDF is less common.

Some buyers prefer cheap stove film. Its disadvantage is its fragility and the ability to peel off and deteriorate as a result. mechanical damage knife or utensils. Therefore, it is better to purchase a more reliable plastic covering.

Furniture must be made of materials that meet the requirements for kitchen area: be resistant to high temperatures, fat, food fumes and steam.

Selecting a headset

Purchasing a ready-made set can also save your budget if the set is small in size and designed specifically for economy class kitchens. The only disadvantage of this option is that all dimensions must be clearly taken into account, and the sink is located next to the space allocated for it.

Another useful one economical option is the choice of slab instead hob and ovens. You also don’t have to buy an oven cabinet because the stove has a housing.

• It is better to give preference to ordinary hinged doors. Complex retractable structures are overpriced;
• Simple filling of cabinets without carousels, pull-out baskets and trays is a minimalistic feature of economy class kitchens;
• It is worth refraining from elaborate patterns and wooden trim;
• An additional price is brought by kitchen stained glass windows, glass and glass inserts;
• Cheaper to buy one wide shelf or box than a few narrow ones.

Don't skimp on quality. All parts, fasteners, veneers must be made of durable material, and the manufacturer’s headset must be provided with a warranty.

Facades and countertops should not have gaps, their doors should fit tightly to each other so that water does not penetrate and decompose the chipboard.

The seller is obliged to provide certificates stating that his products are not fire hazardous and comply with safety standards.

When inspecting kitchen furniture, there should be no chips, cracks, or replacement of materials with cheaper ones.

Manufacturers
