Small-sized kitchens rarely please the owners - even the most cozy and native little kitchen most people would exchange more. But if the reality is such that your kitchen is a space of 6 squares, you need to take the situation and try to squeeze the maximum benefit from it.
Fundamental rules
A small room, no matter the kitchen or a bedroom, puts forward special requirements for decoration. What is permanently per 10 or more square meters, it is impossible to allow 6 square meters. m. More precisely, it can be allowed, but the result will be far from optimal.
Specialists allocate 7 main rules for arranging small kitchens.
- Light color. It is a trite, and already squeezed, but a more confident and competent solution cannot be found: a light color visually expands the space, dark - makes it visually even smaller.
Choose from the rich Light palette: beige, cream, dairy and many other tones.
- Moderation of print on wallpaper. Kitchen design for 6 squares, involving wallpaper sticking, eliminates options with a large pattern, as it eliminates and options with a small print. Choose either blurred medium pattern, or samples without it - monophonic, with not the most expressive texture.
The task of wallpaper is to make space easier, air, "expand" walls.
- Light and mirror surfaces. Any surfaces that have reflective properties will help in the design of a small space. The question is only in practicality - there will be an uncomfortable stretch glossy ceiling, and there will be no permanent fingerprints on the glass dining table. But if you are not afraid of need to care for such surfaces, then a headset with expressive glass windows, and a glass table, and glossy working countertops will help to make the interior more interesting and visually spacious.
- Unload the window. If you can abandon the curtains at all, do it. It will be a little scandinavian, and accurately adds your kitchen light. There are a lot of examples that the open window does not make a uncomfortable room or rude. If without curtains, let it be light and air curtains (maybe very laconic tulle).
Do not clutter the window sill - if the table top will be forced all sorts of trifles, chaos will make the room visually even smaller.
- Practicality and minimalism. Empty kitchen and kitchen, where there is nothing superfluous - these are different things. Think how to equip the storage system for packages, vegetables, various household appliances. Often, all this is constantly in sight, why the kitchen seems unordered and even closed. It should not be in it at all that it is used rarely. And even more so do not overload it with decor, souvenirs and other things.
Leave what cute, valuable for you, and what aesthetics of conciseness is clearly traced.
- Do not overdo it with textiles. Many people love cozy kitchen spaces, where and the tablecloth is beautiful, and pads on dining chairs, and some unusual curtains. But 6 meters it will be unambiguous bust. Have a replaceable decor - purchase a few modest tracks on the dining table, make covers on chairs for seasons or holidays. Leave a lot of open space, on which the same napkin or track on the table will be noticeable. Pay attention - noticeable, not intrusive.
- Think out options with the refrigerator. For example, metallic color technique will also be the subject with a reflective surface for a small kitchen. And if the headset suggests the cabinet for the refrigerator, and all this does not look cumbersome, is a sound solution. And not, do not put it so that it is blown away the light stream.
A little about the taboo. There should be no massive heavy furniture on a small kitchen. There is no place for heavy long curtains and curtains with a complex decor. Color ceiling is just a knockout for the interior of a small kitchen, only one-hand, preferably - milky white.
Features of finishing
Usually the repair begins with wall decoration and ceiling. Suspended plasterboard ceilings for a small room, of course, is definitely not an option. They do not just lose the space, they "steal" him that in the case of 6-meter cuisine is unacceptable. White monophonic ceiling is a classic, more appropriate to anything. On the walls there may be washable wallpaper or decorative stuccoing of gentle shades.
For flooring, ceramic tiles or laminate with moisture-resistant characteristics are suitable. Large prints on the floor, of course, will be superfluous. The floor covering makes sense to be diagonally, visually it improves the interior, makes the room a little more visually.
Beige, white or light brown - here are three colors that are perfect for a small kitchen.
Furniture and Technology
You have several options for planning the kitchen. It is impossible to say that one of them is more winning - all schemes can respond to the task of convenience and visual expansion of space. Accounting is taken by the location of doors and windows.
The planning project can be one of the three most popular.
- Linear - The kitchen headset rises in one row along one of the walls. The main focus in such a kitchen on the dining area.
- Angle - There is a set of about two perpendicular walls. This option is more common, since the angular headset is usually more spacious than an option that involves placing it along one wall.
- P-shaped - The headset captures three walls. This is a good way to plan square cuisine. But the location of the table is no longer left. But this is not a problem if the windowsill replaces the small table, and the full dining area is put in the living room.
Finally, the option of combining rooms can always be considered. Most often, the kitchen is combined with the hall, sometimes increase it, "screaming" part of the corridor or hallway. And it is also possible to expand the space for a couple of squares due to the balcony or loggia.
Choice of shades
And now more about color. The pastel gamma has long and firmly leads in the color of the question, and the modern fashion does not argue with it. White kitchens in scand-style are also quite relevant, and they always provide many opportunities. In the kitchen with a white finish, you can use furniture of different colors. For example, the white kitchen looks interesting on the white table, followed by different chairs, one - wood tones, the other - blue, red or yellow.
If you do not want a white kitchen, look at the following shades:
- The color of herbal tea is very light, in which it is very gentle "sinking" green, especially good such an option for southern kitchen;
- Blue - the room becomes more cool (such is the psychological effect of color), but it refreshes a small kitchen;
- Cocoa with milk - the quality of this shade is that it is calm, and cozy, and quite strict;
- Light purple is also a good option for a kitchen overlooking the sunny side.
You can combine colors - white with gently blue, olive with light wood color, faddle-lemon with faded herbal.
Style solutions
It would seem most convenient option for a small kitchen - minimalism . But the trends in the world of interior fashion are reduced to the fact that people gradually begin to refuse strict minimalism, resorting to eclectics, bright individuality in the interior.

- Neoclassic. This option is more suitable for combined rooms, but if you just think about combining the living room with a 6-meter cuisine, the style is worthy of consideration.
Other styles are no less interesting, but require a more detailed approach and in most cases of the designer's work.
Useful recommendations
The most obvious option of the most practical design of the kitchen is the manufacture of a personal order headset. This will be easier to adapt to already having furniture, make a niche or cabinet for the refrigerator.
Small tips for the owners of a small kitchen:
- On the wall at the dining table, you can make a mirror fake, which gives an interesting effect and is working great on the expansion of space;
- Do not refrigerator board for magnets - it is already unlikely, and most importantly, it also works on a visual decrease in the kitchen;
- Use the railway systems, they are practical and can get rid of the need to order a very large headset;
- Motion floor rugs are suitable only in monophonic, preferably white space;
- Use the bottom tables that are rounded round, and in the folded - halves of the circle, if the family is small, then for everyday life, the unfolded option is not needed;
- If we decided on the photo wallpaper, they should not be very motley and with the image of the perspective.
To transfer the dining room to the living room is an option that many people like, but excessive conservatism does not allow people to decide on it.
If you never dine the whole family in the kitchen (as little space), boldly take the table in the living room, and do not deny yourself the pleasure of family trapes.
