How your house to look – big Use vertical space
It is not always possible house you look – big than in reality, but always look – big in a vertical relationship. Select furniture and modules to collect the most items and create an impression of a high ceiling. Aid comes decorative elements in the room – with pots of flowers on the floor, the ceiling fan, high lamps to step on the floor, but almost enough to the ceiling. Looking so automatically rises up when the man entered the room. If the above line in the kitchen cupboards up to ceiling or are placed decorative elements will complement the illusion of a room with high ceilings.

Show floor
The choice of furniture is crucial to whether an area will look tidy and neatly or gained and scattering. Use furniture with mild forms that do not impede the look to reach the floor of the room. When selecting furniture for small spaces should focus on their size and weight of their color. Recommend to furniture with thin wooden or metal feet instead of solid to step on the ground. Table in the dining room should be high to create an illusion of space. First – it is the board is glass, not wood.

5 tips on choosing furniture | Tags: furniture, upholstered furniture, advice
What should I know when selecting furniture? Why the same sofa and fotyoyli have different prices? Should I must buy expensive furniture to make sure (of) that quality? So many questions you ask a man before choosing furniture and indeed their answers are hiding in a few simple rules.
1. Producers. In what is different. Not always the more expensive furniture is better. The price depends on several factors, the most basic of which is how “greedy” is a manufacturer of materials that are made furniture (mostly cloth and stuffing for a large part is based PDCH), the size of manufacturers (one respected him his company has more highly qualified staff and visokoplaten as: designers and constructors, which also affects the price of finished product, but are likely ensure high quality). How to find out whether the manufacturer is good: browse catalogs of different manufacturers and see that much of the furniture you like, orientation to those companies that have unique models in its catalog. It is also good to know that even producers of more expensive furniture, offer more affordable models and if you are looking for quality low-cost start your search from there.2. Models. Certainly the choice of model is always a matter of individual opinion. Harvested and cleaned models occupy less space and offer more seats. In volumes, however, usually offer more comfort.
3. Do not choose by mail. Basic and very important rule for upholstered furniture, mattresses and chairs is not to choose them by mail. Possibly select furniture you can sit down to try it. Here is an example: I am going to visit one family in which a volume sofa, seemingly looks very comfortable and soft. Do not ask how uncomfortable be surprised when sitting, it was hard as a stone …. If, however, has a catalog furniture, which many you like and where it will see a different look good model of the same company to produced at least a small idea how it will be implemented your furniture and also see a mebelta ( Some companies give this description in his catalog).
4. Fabrics. Maybe you had the same furniture of the same company at different prices in different stores and most likely you have done wrong conclusions about any store. Most furniture manufacturers fix final klientska price and in such cases the difference in price comes from the fabric that is implemented that upholstered furniture. Usually price categories to fabrics are over 3, as there are more, more precisely, a price. One of the cheapest fabrics, but also best for the body of the furniture is artificial leather. It is better for seats and oblegalkite to select expensive and beautiful fabrics, and the rest to follow by artificial fur, rather than make all the furniture from medium cloth (such as price will come out almost equally).
5. Mechanisms. Even if you think you have no need for a mechanism extendible couch, it’s nice to know that he is never superfluous and sooner or later will use it. The pleasure is not itself makes much furniture, but good nonetheless ask how. Is also very important to have a choice what mehaanizam put. For more details, see Upholstered furniture – studio.

About Kitchen

About Kitchen | Tags: kitchen, furniture, equipment, advice
With a large dose kategorichnost can be argued that the kitchen at home is the place where every family member may declare and demonstrate best use their talents – mad woman cooking skills, a man to show and Having tvorets master, able to make a comfortable and functional furniture rather than manufacturing clothes. The kitchen is a place where both are kept at different containers and kitchen accessories, food products, this is the place where food is prepared with the full arsenal electrical appliances – microwave and conventional ovens, frityurnitsi, toaster, kitchen vsevazmozhni robots, and kafemashina What I have not. Here in most cases are still fridge, laundry, dishwashers, let alone for drying laundry, etc. In most cases the kitchen is the place for a meal.
Therefore, the best equipment of any kitchen is a task with many unknown and in most cases uniquely decision will be imposed and therefore more or less compromises. More substantial is that each kitchen is unique for itself and requires thorough consideration of every detail before proceeding to ordering furniture, or to their own work. Determining factors, which must comply, a place where plumbing pipes and pass Channel, the location of windows and doors, availability of niches in the walls, the location of the chimney, etc. The approach in planning the kitchen and depends heavily on whether the equipment is new housing and the room is still empty or modernize existing kitchen furniture replacement of all or only part of them, while others may well be modernized only change of loopholes, for example. It is also necessary to consider whether the old, well-functioning stove, refrigerator and others. For example, will be preserved and renewed kitchen, or will be completely replaced with new ones. In this case, maybe now the question arises: what to choose electrical appliances – individual, or adapted for incorporation into kitchen furniture. The topic is too broad and deserves thorough consideration, so as to collect detailed technical and market information.
This will add that the modern master was incredibly increased in comparison with his predecessor before ten years. It is sufficient only to patrol and look more carefully store stands as Mr. Bricolage, where you can find everything you need bulk major transformation of the kitchen. Market offered vsevazmozhni machines, tools and semi-finished parts, fasteners, etc., some of which we have used and described in this and next issues of a project for replacement of furniture for kitchen with its own forces item f. ever in actual principle “Do it yourself.
Or to summarize said so far, the conclusion is that before you go to purchase before posegnete to drills and circular should address the design work with pencil and drawing rule. If you are “you” with modern technologies, the project can use your home computer. Moreover, there already, then no expensive software (such Selection of Hettich) for the design of kitchen furniture, which can “hide the ball and making the most of master practitioners, or of most industrial enterprises and workshops Whose professionalism gravitate around the level of good mechanic. You require, for example, merely sketching the desired cabinet with its external dimensions, number of doors and the police, a computer offers a choice of how best to target hinges and other fasteners, handles, etc., then draft a comprehensive professional Including name of the Centers for drilling holes for hinges, dibli and other items. Finally get printed, innocent and professionally executed drawing.
The computer is still only count but not thinking machine that can not move his task guess your wishes and preferences and to develop terms of reference for the project.
So – what should be considered when planning and furnishing a kitchen. Broadly speaking, the main activities in the kitchen are grouped around three main jobs. Depending on the shape of the room and architectural characteristics goal jobs to deploy so as to minimize to the maximum snoveneto of idling between them.
Place food preparationTo make this work for the placement of the containers and food products needed convenient desktop. Right place is located between the kitchen stove and sink, a minimum acceptable length is 120 cm in standard kitchen cabinets for plots and width 60 cm. In the absence of a board seat may be a shorter, especially when the household is less. As near as possible should be located and refrigerator, which kept most of the food.
Place on cooking
The center site is for cooking range. But around it is desirable to have a free plots (at least 30 cm) to place containers and products used during cooking. It is desirable desktop that is convenient from a country placing the containers to be longer, such as 90 cm. When the oven is embedded in the board, this requirement is achieved more easily. Determining the exact location of cooker must comply with the opportunity to mount aspirator. More than he ought to have a tube disposal zasmukaniya air and water vapor outside the building.
Space for dishwashing detergents
Left and right of the sink is good to have a subsidiary plots. More is better when the commode itself has one or two wings of the drained water from vessels. The choice of the most diverse in form and wash basins has already enforcement stunning large.
Cupboard under the sink is suitable for arrangement of detergents, a trash can, for installation of electric heater running water, storage of vegetables, etc. Some have umivalnitsi modern pulverizer for shredding and other plant waste, which makes it possible disposal at channels.
Because work in the kitchen house continually crawls these three centers, very important is to be located so that walk time to be as short as possible and the utmost to avoid unnecessary movements, ie most commonly used containers and products to be ready.
In order to observing the natural sequence of operations to prepare the food: storage of food, possibly washing of it, heat treatment.
There are four main types of ranking jobs in the kitchen:Unilateral (koridorno) available
In this case, all jobs are arranged along the length of one wall of the room. Pattern sequence is as follows: help plot, range, site preparation of food (a width at least 60 cm), sink, place to place containers and products, refrigerated cabinets to store products.
Over the board for preparing food, and over the sink can be installed hanging on the wall cabinets to the ceiling. They are usually installed at a height of 50-60 cm over the board in the sink.
Corridor alignment is applied primarily in long and narrow rooms.Bilateral available
In this arrangement of kitchen equipment is located along the two opposite walls of the room. Jobs – for cooking, food preparation and sink are located on one wall, the range is set right. On the other side are ranked Racks storage products.
Given that range is divided into the surface of hot plates and oven and grill are separate, practical oven is put between Racks on the other side of the height of the eyes, to avoid bending. It is desirable not only in adults, but convenience will be assessed and the younger because exercise on depression is several times larger than at work in upright position.
The same can be fitted false cupboard, to set high cabinets as well as higher refrigerators. Plots available on the floor cabinets provide sufficient size for processing of food products as well as placing the kitchen machines – kafemashina, toaster, robots, etc.
This way of equipment is suitable for premises where door and window (or balcony door) are on opposite walls.D-shaped available
Kitchen furniture and appliances are arranged at right angles. On one arm he put the stove and close to it, on the other side – the sink. Among them is work to prepare the food. This minimizes available daily walk from the house time. It is applicable to the kitchen building square. D-form shape of the arrangement is applicable also to a screening of older facilities and separation of the dining area.
U-shape available
This form of arrangement is kind of bilateral located kitchen by making connections and is applicable when the distance between opposite walls is not great. If the distance is greater than 150 cm, it is better three jobs to be located along the long and the next ґ transverse wall – ie implemented D-shaped version of the arrangement.
In practice, as described four main types of arrangement rarely can be fulfilled in its pure form, for determining different architectural characteristics.
In all cases, however, the goal should be to achieve the following jobs: sink – a place for preparation of food – oven, the kitchen stove is placed on the right of other jobs.
In designing the kitchen should be premisli and location of the chimney, for example, and the location of electrical outlets available, if necessary – to lead the new. In deployment of kitchen utensils and furniture must comply and direction of opening doors, and the remaining gap between the open door and located opposite furniture. For example, before the cabinet at a depth of 60 cm, it is imperative to have free corridor with a minimum width of about 110 cm, for a person easy to fork in the cabinet and pass it along in an open door. Therefore building width 190 cm or less bilateral arrangement is not appropriate, because deployed Cabinets between opponent koridor will remain with width 70 cm, in which two people can not razminat free. That requires a minimum width of 100 cm.
Kitchen furniture are three main types according to their cupboards location:
• cabinets of the first order – these are cabinets placed on the floor. Their depth is 60 cm, and height – 86-92 cm. The most commonly used width of modular konfektsionnite cupboard is 40 cm and 60 single and 100 cm for a double. If there is a ready market kitchen plots (length 200 and 160 cm in Mr. Bricolage) and independent manufacturing of furniture that division practically fallen, but it can be a full cabinet with a plot.
• cabinets on the second line – they hang on the walls. Breadth of their most frequently selected in accordance with the breadth of Racks of the first order. Standard and optimum depth Racks of this group is 30 cm. They hang at a height of 45-55 cm over the board of the cabinet under them.
• cabinets of the third line – have more than Racks of the second row. Used at higher premises to store less frequently used containers and reached using a ladder.
Racks are selected according to functional needs and, of course – according to available space in the kitchen. Once you define the points of the sink, stove and refrigerator, cabinets are selected in order of:
• Electric and other equipment
• Pribori
• vessels feeding
• Containers for cooking
• Food
Racks should be located so that those in their gear, vessels or products to be easily accessible. The number of police in the cabinet determines the distance between them – for example to retain invite, or buy bottles required minimum height of 30 cm.
In each kitchen has “bottlenecks” which can not effectively be opolzotvoryat with standard tools. Classic problem of the use of well-known “blind spot” which is formed between two cabinet situated at an angle or in combination located at right angles cabinet-stove, refrigerator, closet, etc. Another such place is different narrow niches between two neighboring cabinet between the cabinet and the wall (for furniture konfektsionni cabinets), etc. Each of these issues has its modern and efficient technical solution that was discussed in an article of the National Assembly, 7-8/2002. Many practical decision is narrow and high cupboard in which examination may be kept many articles and food products (with a total weight to 200 kg). Such cabinets require special metal structure, and some of them even with power-driven electric motor and can be opened or closed automatically by pressing a button.
This will focus on a relatively new trend in the construction of the so-called Racks. first line – placed directly on the floor. Classic and still most widespread implementation of doors and the interior is divided by one or two policies. However, this structure creates a very big inconvenience, because in any setting, inspection and removal of items is a strong leaning or squat. Strong and visibility is limited to those objects in the rear.
Racks modern solution is to be implemented in the form of pull-outs – most often two or three. In drawing the drawer contents are removed before our eyes and is easily accessible. Each of chekmedzhetata is divided by barriers as the items stored in it, as is illustrated in the photos. On the bottom of chekmedzhetata placed special fabric that prevent creep of the underlying objects on them.
The realization of that obvious to anyone idea became possible thanks to modern systems to mount chekmedzhetata. Of them so far in the magazines we represent mechanisms of the German company Hettich. In furniture for kitchen described here we have used drivers for 30 pull-outs Quadro same company. Poor nashenets only a few years be able to enjoy furniture with pull-outs that are sliding on the bus with two plastic rollers. And if they are big step forward compared to the prehistoric practice of chekmedzhetata drag on simple wooden letvichki, Quadro drivers are following at least a step towards technical excellence. Drivers consist of two or three parts shtantsovani galvanized steel sheets, and movement between them is done through the sliders of steel pellets – such as are used in Rolling ball bearings. As a result, each bus has a large capacity, the movement takes place with minimal friction, ie implemented with minimal effort on the drawer and attachment is extremely stable, as lacking any side movement characteristic of drivers with rings. In addition to that every driver has a special spring mechanism that started in storage drawer and the last stage severely him in the closed position. The latest generation of Quadro drivers have special shock absorbers, so if you accidentally blasnete highly drawer, it will be brought smoothly and elegantly, without shock and without risk to potroshat those in its jars and other fragile vessels. When drivers Quadro is also impossible to accidentally pull the drawer to be too forward and its contents to izsipe on the floor. These leaders have practically unlimited durability, and have another one and another valuable quality – their ability to samoochistvat on movement of sachmite caught in the channels of bus dust or other contamination. Load a pair of drivers Quadro range is 25-50 kg cargo load which can be obtained only under large, thick books prime drawer.
Another very significant advantage of Quadro drivers is that (some of them) drawer can be removed completely – something which is impossible in any other structure to mount pull-outs. This advantage is the particularly noticeable in a shallow pull-outs, where remaining in the cabinet, it is commensurate with the depth of the drawer.
There are different systems for installation of drivers Quadro, and the construction of one drawer:
• Freeze drawer through plastic shtipki with the possibility of easily disconnection and removal.
• Freeze on special brads.
• For sachmenite vozdachi Installation of one runner in carved in the site of the drawer nut, etc.
For making chekmedzhetata has several options:
• All metal drawer pages (Innotech) by integrating these drivers rear face of aluminum profile, bottom and distributors in order to set precise dimensions and get fully ready form.
• order only pages with metal drivers and everything is easily done with local materials.
• buy only the metal drivers and all the drawer is made of wood in the home workshop. This particular approach chosen and he is described in the article.
It is quite Quadro drivers to be more expensive (about 3-4 times) than drivers with plastic rollers, the more that our market vlastvat goods “bogus”. Meanwhile the proportion of drivers in the total cost of furnishing the kitchen is just negligible, while the advantage in terms of quality is beyond comparison. The conclusion is that we have to give definite preference to quality and safety factors to the price.
Before proceeding to a description of the manufacture of kitchen furniture, to share a few observations and on “aspirator. It is absolutely essential, not only because limited to a large extent the infiltration of various smells in the kitchen, but in the entire housing. Separate to cooking vapors contain large amount of fat fine particles, which penetrate and stick wherever penetrates the air. Separate water vapor often tabloid, particularly on the external walls, the result is ovlazhneni and darkness of mold and fungi walls. In a long moisture vapor with a chilled below Taupunkt walls result is even more dramatic – from paint walls, and even in the framework of the windows are napukva begins to white to yufki. The effective removal of water and the smell of money is possible through powerful aspirator, most often with two motors, which through a flexible tube placed zasmukvanite air and money outside the building.
