Furniture for kitchen

[Wit]

Wit, issue price. We have prices wow! even in the city, the difference for the same countertop (where I recognized) 6.5t and 12.5t.! and with my area, the price is generally space!

I thought it was always more expensive separately. Or is the countertop not marble?

not marble ((((

[Evgeniya]

EvgeniyaWhen I was choosing a sink, the prodies said that marble is softer and more absorbent. Therefore, I chose quartz.

It is cast marble, not natural. He doesn’t absorb

Anya, our choice is limited. Almost everything is marble, granite. But according to the color option, this one was perfect, I was already thinking about replacing the surface with another color. there remained the agony of choosing a gas panel and a tap to the sink.

He doesn’t absorb

calmed!

[Wit]

Wit, I finally do not understand this, therefore - for what I bought. And the fact that the food can drive a blizzard is a well-known fact.

Vinochek, don't forget to brag when you put together the kitchen! - :)

Tanya, good. But it will be in a month. ((((

prod said that marble is softer and more absorbent. Therefore, I chose quartz.

People, where do you find real stone sinks? Everywhere I go shopping only plastic comes across. Or is it necessary to watch in kitchen salons?

Be kind, give a link at least to see, huh?

[Bijou]

Bijou, Len, why do you need a real stone? It is not practical, in the same place continuous glued seams will turn out. And what for?
Usually, if the countertop is made of natural stone, then a metal sink is used.
And in order to make a solid stone sink, this is what a cube must be spoiled. And with thick walls it will be heavy, and with thin walls it will be fragile.
I'm afraid that in few mansions you will find this.
For the washbasin, shallow (marble, granite) are often found, but for the kitchen a deep one is needed, and preferably not marble, because it absorbs dirt a lot.
Once upon a time I saw a marble sink in the kitchen in some sanatorium - an unsightly sight.

Biju, Len, why do you need a real stone?

Yes, I just don't need it - I have five of them around the house and all are plastic.)) The last one was put in the yard in terracotta - I walk in circles, I admire - well, I like it very much.

But people are talking about stone, so I'm interested. In order to expand erudition.

For seven years now, I have been made of artificial stone from POLYGRAN. It is easy to mount, fits on a sealant (they used to put it, but now they save), a siphon included, heavy, depth of about 21 cm, no splashes. I bought it after stainless steel, heaven and earth. You can also choose the mixer in color. Now my relatives have pulled themselves together, looking at my sink (after so many years it looks like new). Everyone is happy, especially the prices are pleasing. Now they have some more glass and quartz.

Polygran ?? Fake diamond? Duc we have three pieces from them. This is ordinary plastic. Well, or what other polymer with epoxy, I did not do the analysis, I will not say for sure.

It is drilled extremely easily with an ordinary wood feather.

[Bijou]

Bijou, well, not quite plastic. It drills really well, they drilled us right in the store for a hundred rubles in the right place. Rather, it is a stone crumb with some kind of binder.
They write that they are made of synthetic (artificial) granite (granite chips, which are held together with polyester resin). The artificial stone is not afraid of temperature changes and can withstand up to plus 280 degrees. Dyes are added to the composition of synthetic granite, which actually helps the stone to acquire a color palette.
I lived most of my life with stainless steel, so I wanted something new. When they decided to renovate the kitchen and the question arose about a new sink, I also looked at the German "stone" ones. The price for them was several times higher, and the sellers could not explain to me why they are so much better. I decided to take a chance and save money, bought a black one - I like it, deep, large - a baking sheet from the stove and a 10-liter saucepan easily fit. Looks like new, but what else do you need?
A friend before that bought herself a production of the type of germanium, but she was not happy for long, she decided to drain the pasta and the sink burst, and she dumped the money for it, you could buy about five of mine.

[Gingi]

Gingi, if there was a real stone, it would be "really good" with soft thin even shavings.)) Add pebbles to the steep bread and try to cut it with a knife. Have you presented?

My husband, too, once, about 10 years ago, was in deep thought - a sink without a hole! (though some kind of imported one) Kitcheners to him: "Don't be afraid, we'll drill!" And they drilled it.)) It seems, not even with a pen, but with a crown, or something .. I don't remember exactly. Well, we neighing at our naivety, rubbing fluffy crumbs between our fingers in search of "pebbles".

By the way, we have a rectangular sink in the shower room, where I often cool pots under running water. I try not to lower it with a hot bottom in a dry sink, but several times I managed to put it before the water inlet. And now it seems to me that in that very place the bottom became, as it were, slightly convex. On the verge of perceptible, but still imagining. Also Polygranus, I think.

Yeah, exactly, like this:

[Bijou]

Bijou, pebbles they can see well, very small fraction. We were drilled with some kind of special drill with a crown. The composition, of course, no one will honestly say, but it fulfills its function. I did not put hot pans in it, but I poured the boiling water out until it was whole.
My sister has the same as in your photo, only beige, I bought it not very long ago, I'm happy. Her kitchen is scanty, the countertop is only 50 cm wide, no sinks have gone through, but this one was turned along and everything fell perfectly.

Bijou, they can see the stones well, a very small fraction.

Well, everyone chooses according to their faith. As for me, if there were at least some pebbles there, a drill on a fig tree would have drilled it out, it would rather have erased itself. Not to mention the fact that I do not see any practical sense from such an invisible "small fraction". )

By the way, I have a disc for the sharpener, where a dusty abrasive is fused into something completely soft. Aha, I finish sharpening the forged solid knives on it.

My sister has the same as in your photo, only beige

I have the same in my yard, but terracotta.

I really, really wanted to put the mixer to match for beauty, but practicality prevailed and I still stuck my adorable flexible mixer there. Now it will shine like a stainless steel in the sun and remind me of the difficulties of compromises.

Can you tell the manufacturers of your kitchens? Now, in search of a kitchen, I go to salons, look at models, compare prices. While I'm leaning towards the factory (I'll sleep here). Very laconic high quality models at reasonable prices. It reminds me very much of the Italian style. I really liked the friendly attitude of the consultants, their genuine participation and desire to help the client find the best option. Well, I was also surprised in a good way by the 12-year warranty.

Found this recommendation

Hello. I'm going to order furniture for the kitchen, please help me with advice, what can I change, rearrange?

[Natalia Alexandrovna]

Natalia AlexandrovnaHow will you place your household appliances and sink?

[Natasha]

Natasha, I have doubts about the top cargo, will they be comfortable at height? I would definitely not be comfortable using them

[Konvetka]

Konvetka, the cooking room will be under the second cabinets, after the refrigerator, where the built-in hood is drawn.Sink in the corner, after it on the right hand is the dishwasher and at the end on the right is the oven along the height of the countertop and then the microwave



Tina, yes, I agree, for everyday use the very top is inconvenient, there will be everything that may be needed once every half a year. I always had kitchens with one floor of cabinets and so I did not like this dust collector on the cabinets on top and now I wanted to close everything up to the ceiling so that there was not even a small gap

yes, I agree, for everyday use the very top is inconvenient, there will be everything that may be needed once every half a year.

no-no, Natasha, I'm talking about narrow drawers next to the hood

[Natasha]

Natasha, although this is not exactly kitchen furniture, but I will write. I strongly advise you to outweigh the doors in the refrigerator so that they can open from right to left. It will be incredibly convenient, trust me! True, not all refrigerators have the ability to outweigh, but still. I have already outweighed two friends, now they themselves are surprised how comfortable it has become.

[svetta]

svetta, yes, Sveta, a sensible suggestion. Thank you!

I am adding to the Light about the refrigerator. With such an arrangement, it is worth outweighing, if possible.

[Anna]

Anna, went looked-outweighed! lucky



Tina, the furniture maker suggested to me for symmetry with the lower ones, and I agreed. At least some storage space, and so there will be one solid cabinet with a hood inside.

At least some storage space, and so there will be one solid cabinet with a hood inside.

well, only for these reasons, if .. and so the cargo above the head is not convenient, I tried

I would remove the top cargo.
They are expensive, the benefits are dubious. It is one thing when the cargo is in the lower cabinets with a cabinet depth of 60 cm, and there are not many narrow here, so the depth of the cabinet is 30-35 cm. The width of the cabinet for the hood is 60? Cargo 20 cm ???
If the space above the stove for the head is only 60 cm, this is very uncomfortable, one situation is when the kitchen is small and this is a necessary measure, another matter for you ... It is clear that the head is a very rare guest in those places, but in those rare cases when you need if you look to the far pan .... The cargo angle will always be on your way straight to your forehead))). Plus, the corners of the cabinets themselves will be constantly exposed to hot steam, therefore, by removing them from the hob to the sides by 15-20 cm, you will save the weakest parts of the furniture (ends) from the most terrible enemy of temperature and moisture.
I propose to raise the corners to the level of the hood, and at the top roll up a one-piece section with a lifting door (well, or leave swing doors like yours). Around the exhaust shaft, you will have a huge pile of storage space on both sides, unlike the cargo. The mesh mechanism itself also takes up space.

[Natalia Alexandrovna]

Natalia Alexandrovna, can I also "my 5 kopecks"?
In my opinion, it is very small, that is, there are a lot of small lockers. It is very beneficial for the contractor - a lot of accessories, a lot of work. Judging by the picture, the kitchen area is good, not small, there is where to turn around and plan as conveniently as possible.
If you are interested, I propose to discuss here with the girls your plan with the dimensions of both the room and the lockers themselves.
For example, two bottle holders. Each of them stands like a full-fledged wardrobe with drawers, because they have similar fittings. Only in the bottle there will be trifles and bottles of oil, vinegar, and in the box ... Two bottles of 20 cm - this is one cabinet of 40 cm, in which a large stand for instruments and utensils in the form of spatulas, stirrers and forceps. Another drawer can be used to organize a bread bin. Or, for example, replace 2 20 cm bottle holders plus a 40 cm cabinet with one chic 80 cm roll-out cabinet! All pots and lids will fit into the deep bottom drawer. The middle one will include mixers and blenders, and a bunch of tins and small baking trays.I give these examples so that it is clear that it is easy to place large things in wide boxes, and small ones will have to play Tetris.
Is there a TV set on a raised cabinet in the right corner? Is this option eating up your precious work surface?
Now look at the line of cabinets: horizontal and vertical cabinets are mixed, handles dance horizontally and vertically, integrity is broken.
This is my opinion, nothing more.

[Natalia Alexandrovna]

Natalia AlexandrovnaWhere will the sink and stove be?

[Cirre]

Cirre, Galya, Natasha wrote (look a little higher). Sink in the corner, var. repeat under the hood

$ vetLana, Light, missed this moment

I strongly advise you to outweigh the doors in the refrigerator so that they can open from right to left. It will be incredibly convenient, trust me!

When I gave this advice to my son, they answered me like this: if we outweigh the doors, they will open 90 degrees. And now they open almost 180 degrees and you can safely remove all the shelves if necessary. At my very door, the refrigerator door opens to the window and rests against the window sill, drawers and shelves cannot be removed from the refrigerator, because of this it is inconvenient to wash, and I have no opportunity to outweigh the doors. So it's worth considering whether to outweigh or not ...

If we outweigh the doors, they will open 90 degrees. And now they open by almost 180 and you can safely take out all the shelves, if necessary.

For the same reasons, I don't outweigh, everyone is used to it - everyone is comfortable, and even the door is next to the refrigerator, if you hang the refrigerator door, it will block the entrance to the kitchen

In my opinion, very small, that is, a lot of small lockers

and mine too;) I do not like such flickering and double-winged cabinets

This is my opinion, nothing more.

I very much agree, as a professional I say. And many doors and doors can play a cruel joke with you, in fact, everything will look sloppy. Doors of 60 cm look better, with rare exceptions.

The project is very similar to mine. And I want to add my opinion.
Where is your dish drainer?
It is better to place boxes for small things to the right of the sink. our friends have a sink like yours, they say that it is inconvenient, they constantly beat their heads over the top cabinet. I have a double sink. The main one is towards the window, the second is like yours. The second



The second is used as a secondary one, although I like that there are two of them. The dishwasher is a little further away. Everything is very convenient.
New kitchen !!!! It's so cool!!! Such pleasant chores !!!! Congratulations!!!

Girls, about the refrigerator door is my advice for information. Of course, all the nuances must be taken into account. For example, it is very convenient for me that the door opens on the right, you can slightly open it and get what you need. On my left, I have a window with a window sill, and otherwise I would have to stand right next to the window sill, force the refrigerator door open, take out the pan with both hands, then somehow and somehow try to slam the door, holding the pan in the air. Well, I used to be like that. And now I opened the door a little, took out the pan and put it on the work surface next to it and closed the door. It takes seconds. Yes, the shelves cannot be completely removed when the door is open, but then I just slightly turn the refrigerator at an angle, the door swings open more and everything is removed. Believe me, those 2-3 times a year when I do these manipulations to wash the refrigerator cannot be compared with daily repeated use with convenience.
And one more thing - when the door is fully opened, the cold leaves the chamber, the refrigerator motor starts working with load to restore the desired temperature. And then they wonder why the refrigerator breaks down so quickly. I say this from my dad's experience, he repaired refrigerators. He immediately moved the door in the Indesit refrigerator, bought in 1998, the refrigerator is still working and has not been repaired.And it is also important not to put it close to the wall and furniture (except for models where this can be done).

[svetta]

svetta, I completely agree with you!

[svetta]

svetta, yes, I also wrote for information, so that the person himself decided how it is more convenient for him. My refrigerator is 10 cm from the wall, but the protruding window sill does not allow opening the door so that the shelves can be removed. And there is no way to expand it, since the refrigerator is wide and sooo heavy and there is simply no room for turning!

And many doors and doors can play a cruel joke with you, in fact, everything will look sloppy. Doors of 60 cm look better, with rare exceptions.

I also agree with the girls. In addition to the fact that it looks unimportant, the abundance of handles also contributes to unnecessary cleaning. ((And the metaboxes really need wide ones in one kitchen, even more than a meter, I think. And in the other 90 cm. It's so cool! And convenient, and beautiful, and looks more prestigious than a lot of little things, as if in "ready-made kitchens" for 10 thousand. Crushed space is such a bustle ... It is better to add individual point decorations to the interior, diluting the severity of forms.

In addition, two smaller cabinets will fit into less than one equal to them in width (in the sense, for example, 2 to 45 will fit into less than one by 90). And it's harder to get out of the back row of a narrower cabinet.

Virgo, I choose the kitchen.
Who communicated with the quartz countertop? What are the pitfalls? Or is it like granite?

And please tell me what is the best sink (material) to take?

Are there many options?
IMHO, except for the polymer one I can't even imagine. Only colored - gray or black, or terracotta, or at least sand, which makes it easier to wash.

Quiet, durable, "soft", which is why the dishes do not break even if the glass is properly applied to the corner, it is perfectly washed and cleaned by everyone, even with metal sponges. Ideally, it should be cast at the same time as the countertop, but for many it is not very affordable financially.
