The lower stands are covered with a tabletop and are equipped with legs. The height of the legs can be adjusted. There are closed with doors and open types of cabinets.

Do not advise to make a working surface less than 45-50 cm, for the cooking process requires a rather wide tabletop.
Countertop 60 cm is most common. The depth of the cabinet with such a working surface is 46 cm. Smaller tabletop format is uncomfortable, since most of the embedded equipment fit in this size.

For small kitchens prefer to install angular headsets. They appear angular cabinets and cabinets. They are rectangular, one of the parts will then be unavailable for use, or in the form of a rhombus (with two doors or one). With this placement of the boxes and Tumb A corner is used as much as possible.

How to calculate the parameters?
Before starting to collect and place the furniture, make measurements of the height and width of the kitchen. Drawing a drawing with a plan and make the necessary dimensions there, given the important details, for example, the distance from the window to the wall and the height from the floor to the windowsill. It is recommended to consider all possible installation options, especially if the kitchen is very small. You can apply all the parameters in a special 3D program and make the necessary markup in it.
Plan how to arrange kitchen cabinets, calculate their dimensions for ergonomic design of the area of the kitchen and the distribution of the workspace.
When calculating, take into account:
- Apron Square (place between the worktop and mounted cabinets);
- ceiling height;
- kitchen size and layout;
- Dimensions of household appliances;
- The location of the power grid, water supply, ventilation.
Standard kitchen set creates with the calculation of the planning of a regular urban apartment. The dimensions of the finished furniture of different production have approximately similar dimensions.
Furniture sets are:
- modular;
- Built-in.
Cabinets are often equipped with special devices: for storing dishes, for drying plates, for decorating an exhaust or gas column, as well as niches for household appliances. Modular furniture is ready-made sections of a certain size: there are tabletop chains, dressers, wardrobes under the sink, mounted open and closed shelves with one or two doors, corner outdoor and mounted models.
Blocks can be changed arbitrarily places, combining in any sequence. The damaged section can be replaced or, if necessary, remove at all. It is easy to pick up cabinets under the sink, dryer, household appliances. It is important not to be mistaken in size. The gas stove and the refrigerator do not fit into the modular sections, and set separately.
Built-in furniture is non-typical projects involving the installation in the section of special home appliances that the headset covers the facades. Build cabinets and cabinets according to individual sizes, given the overall planning of the kitchen and the wishes of the owner.
Height
For kitchen floor cabinets and Tumbers height according to standards - 85 cm. Most often with the help of legs, you can adjust the tabletop location. For people of different growth, it is individually picking up the height of the working surfaces and wall lockers. The height of the hinged box is from 70 cm, and placed it so that the handle and the bottom shelf will easily reach the hand.
Depth
Standing on the floor Tumb Depth - 60 cm, taking into account the magnitude of the facade, and without it - 46 cm. Non-standard dimensions are less common - 120 and 90 cm. These parameters take into account the protruding part of the table top 3-5 outside and 5-10 cm on parts adjacent to the wall.
Having calculated the depth of the boxes, the size of the embedded technique should be taken into account: for the dishwasher - 575 mm, for the dryer to the upper cabinet - 300 mm, therefore, the size of the facades will be 565 mm for the lower and 320 mm for the upper cabinets.
For mounted cabinets, the depth will be 30 cm. Deeper options are better not to install over the working area, bulky wall drawers will hang over the table top and create discomfort. For microwave and dryers, the depth can be 40 cm.
Width
By width, floor boxes must comply with the following parameters (sizes are indicated in centimeters):
- 30-50 for a single cabinet;
- 60-90 for standard with two doors;
- Corner cabinets on the facade are from 45 cm.
Rule of working triangle
According to this rule, it is possible to ergonomically post a refrigerator, washing, stove. Additionally, the household appliances needed in everyday use is also installed. The stores offer furniture, standard by parameters, with its correct selection and arrangement you can create comfortable conditions in the kitchen. Creating a plan for placing furniture in the kitchen, you should consider:
- the overall style of the room;
- owners preferences;
- functionality;
- Placement of washing, plates and household appliances.
Traditionally it is believed that Zone for storing products, a place for washing dishes and cooking should form vertices of a triangle, thereby facilitating the process of processing and cooking products. The refrigerator, the sink and the cooking surface (or the oven) are installed in such a way that they are always in easy access, and the distance between them was at least 1.2 and no more than 2.7 meters. It does not necessarily have a perfect equilateral triangle.
- On the single-row kitchen there is a washing between the stove and the refrigerator. If there is an opportunity, the refrigerator is carried out of the total row and put on the opposite side.
- In the kitchen, where the furniture is located in 2 rows, it is recommended to place the vertices of the triangle on both parts. On the one hand, washing and stove, and opposite the fridge or refrigerator with a washing in one part, and the plate on the other.
- M-Fashion layout makes it possible to optimally place work surfaces. They advise on the sides to put the stove and refrigerator, and in the center - washing. As practice shows, place the stove, the sink and refrigerator in the kitchen of this species can be in a variety of options.
- The p-shaped kitchen has 3 rows of cabinets, with such a configuration, the car wash is more convenient to position in the middle row, and the rest of the zones on the opposite sides.
- On the island kitchen, it is better to arrange a cooking surface on the island, and on the opposite side, put a sink and refrigerator. You can change the sink and slab places.
In perfect layout, the working triangle has equal parties. The presence in the kitchen of two people with the wrong arrangement of important areas will lead to a mess and can be unsafe.
Blueprints
With a careful look at different drawings it is noticeable that the length should be between the tops of the working triangle, than equal to two elongated hands. In the process of preparation, except for washing, plates, refrigerators, use more cabinets and work surfaces. During the planning and placement of furniture, placement of equipment It is very important to make faithful calculations and arrange each element in the kitchen in the reach zone.
Outdoor stands should not clutter the room and access to all functional areas. Hinged lockers will accommodate dishes and products, located at a comfortable altitude and when opening it does not interfere with the process of cooking and moving.
The kitchen headset parameters are chosen taking into account the size and area of the room, the location of windows, doors, ventilation, power grid and water supply.
When creating a placement scheme, the headset in the kitchen decide in advance how furniture, household appliances, washing, stove will be placed, take into account the format of all listed items. It is very important to remove the exact dimensions and designate all important details in the diagram. Creating your own drawing, it is useful to focus on the already available layouts with sizes.
For angle kitchen, it is advised to start a drawing with an angular cabinet, then draw the remaining floor cabinets with household appliances, and then attachments and non-standard. Kitchens of different layouts have their own individual differences: niches, beveled corners, protrusions or removing, narrowed places. For such premises, the wardrobe bought in the store is adjusted independently.
Or make to order with detailing the desired configuration suitable for the kitchen format. The removal in the wall prevents the position of the standard tube, but the depth can be reduced by making measurements and cut box. Furniture for accommodation in niche increase the depth of the niche itself.
If the cabinets are located next to the electrical outlet or sewage pipes, you need to leave these objects in free access. The drawing is applied the location scheme and, creating a project of a future kitchen, draws its location to the dotted line. When installing a headset, a part of the walls of individual cabinets can be removed and use it so freely, getting and easy access to the tap pipes.
