How to make from the hall kitchen

Imagine how you want to see the new premises. Make a clear picture or plan for future alterations. If you can't do a project, invite designer. It is better to trust in professionals, as the need to choose the right materials and take into account all the details: who lives in the apartment, how often do you take guests, whether you need a large working part of the kitchen or you can do small work Desk.

Consider the interior details (as will be combined between kitchen, dining table and furniture with appliances). Carefully approach the remodeling of communications in the kitchen.

Remember, if you are going to move walls, especially load-bearing structures, according to the law you need to obtain a special permit, and it is quite difficult. Permission is not necessary in the following cases: cosmetic repair of the premises, the building or dismantling of built-in wardrobes, moving within the kitchen electrical equipment, changing sanitary equipment, leading to its movement in space. Thus, if you plan to migrate risers and sewer pipes, you will also need a special permit.

Make all necessary communications: electrical cables, sewer pipes, hood, etc. Wire for electric stove, you can lay on top and close the hinged ceiling. A pipe drain on the floor, but keep in mind that the room will be somewhat lower. You can stretch the plastic tube first along the wall, and then through the front door of the former kitchen into the hall, it will have pipe to hide a small podium, you get a step at the entrance to a new kitchen.

Risers in the former kitchen sew the drywall but have to be able at any time to get to the pipes. For electrical and plumbing work it is better to invite experts, as necessary to take into account many things: a certain angle of slope for runoff, the correct cross-section of electrical cable, outlets, etc.

Take care arrangement of working area of the kitchen. Depending on the room, you can choose the kitchen island that fits well and a large space, or a corner (L – plan), it not only separates the work area from the recreation area or dining room, but will also allow you to organize the counter for snacking. You can also make a layout in one line, which will allow you to maximize the area designed for the living room or dining room.

Highlight the border between the two zones (if you are in the new space to combine the kitchen, living room or dining room). This can be done in several ways. For example, drop the floor level. Step in front of the entrance to the kitchen and drop ready. Zoning can be done using suspended ceiling, arched openings, columns. Different flooring is also a good option to separate the two zones. You can use lighting solution. In the work area – or halogen spotlights in the lounge or dining room – the daylight and the General lighting in the evening. And, of course, the design of window openings with curtains.

Note that, most likely, you will have to change the whole kitchen furniture and equipment, as in a large space your kitchen will look differently. Use the built-in kitchen appliances.
