Correcting mistakes in kitchen planning is much more difficult than changing the wallpaper or rearranging the furniture.

Therefore, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, strongly advises taking into account all aspects: from the choice of materials to the placement of the kitchen unit, especially if we are talking about a corner kitchen.

Massive fittings

Massive fittings (we are talking about handles) are the main enemy of a corner kitchen, since bulky and protruding pieces can reduce the opening angle of the cabinet.

Choose simple and concise fittings to make using the drawers easy and convenient.

Refrigerator next to the stove

Placing the refrigerator in close proximity to the stove will accelerate the breakdown of the refrigerator.

Speaking about the corner format, it is unlikely that you will be able to avoid the proximity of the refrigerator to the stove, but it is not so difficult to fit a floor module between the two devices. A cabinet or a narrow cabinet with a bottle rack will do.

Corner sink

A sink located in a corner requires additional lighting and extra care – otherwise you will constantly hit your head on the unit.

Instead, find a spot for the sink that is a comfortable distance from the edge of the linear portion of the countertop, and use the unused corner to store small appliances.

Earlier we told you how to survive in a city apartment in the heat without an air conditioner.
