The choice of one or another option is based on the features of the planning, the location of the windows, the square of a particular room. Linear models usually buy for kitchens and living rooms and rooms in which you need to accommodate small sofas. Compact options are kitchen benches with a narrow seat. Analogs for spacious rooms are usually distinguished by large dimensions.
