Kitchen with bedroom: fashion ideas with photos. Small kitchens (50 photos): design tips How to place a bed in a small kitchen

Those who faced a major overhaul, probably experienced difficulties in implementing a kitchen design project, in particular, selecting furniture for the interior and finding a good place. Indeed, the premises must meet different requirements.

The kitchen should be as ergonomic as possible, because only in this case, cooking turns into a real creative process.

At the same time, the kitchen space should be beautiful and cozy, as the family needs to relax in a comfortable and pleasant environment at a joint meal. How to combine these requirements in one room?

No clutter, otherwise a medium-sized kitchen will seem extremely cramped.

The owners of spacious bright rooms will not worry about this, on an area of 18-20 square meters. m. can fit a large closet, household appliances, a comfortable corner of the dining area. Absolutely any color scheme. The situation is somewhat different with compact kitchens, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich reaches only 10 square meters. m.

Bright colors for a medium-sized kitchen are acceptable. But in order for the design to be harmonious, it is necessary to correctly position the appliances and furniture in space.

Those who have a kitchen space of 10 sq. m seems too cramped, they can always resort to expanding the size of this room at the expense of others. It is important to remember that any change must be approved by the city's architecture department.

Today, multifunctional lighting is in fashion, and in the interior of the kitchen-living room, it will only emphasize the merits of design and layout.

There are several options at once to make the kitchen bigger. Residents just need to decide how much room they are willing to sacrifice for this.

If the kitchen space in your apartment does not exceed 10 meters, this is not at all a reason to be upset, since the professional approaches of designers allow you to organize cozy kitchens with smaller indicators (5-6 sq. M).

Even before the start of design work, you should find out the needs of the residents of the apartment or house. What is it for?

Each family has its own requirements for kitchen and furniture, in many respects, it depends on the number of people living here. For example, a bachelor's kitchen looks spectacular with a bar counter, which is quite enough for cooking, relaxing and even friendly gatherings. The kitchen of a married couple with 2-3 children looks completely different.

It should be noted that for a medium-sized kitchen, you can think of the situation in such a way that stools and chairs can replace a small sofa.

Advantages of kitchen sofas

Kitchen sofas look simply luxurious in the room, in addition, they can add comfort and warmth to even the most strict and prim interior. The owners of cramped apartments do not favor this type of furniture, believing that the sofa will only exacerbate the lack of free space. It is worth getting to know the kitchen sofa closer, and you will certainly recognize all its advantages.

Types of kitchen sofas

Before you design a kitchen of 10 sq m with a sofa, you should decide on the design, size and type of model. It is on this that the convenience and functionality of the kitchen will depend.

According to the design, sofas for the kitchen are of several types.

Sofas are also divided into:

VIDEO: Kitchen design 10 sq.m. with sofa.

I'm not kidding! We really started a project based on a letter from a reader who asked for a bed in the kitchen:

“Good afternoon, my name is Mila. I moved to a new apartment, got a kitchen of 7.4 meters. I've been fighting with projects for 3 months now, I can't figure out how to combine everything. The main problem, since the apartment is one-room, we really need a folding sofa in the kitchen so that frequent guests stay overnight. Now it is standing, but in the photo the kitchen is before my move, there is no sofa yet, the rest is unchanged.

The kitchen should have:

cooking
washing
washing machine (it already exists, 60x60cm)
refrigerator (also available, indicated on the plan)
seat in addition to the sofa - one
if possible - a small dishwasher
oven (small possible)
TV 20 inches
folding sofa (on the plan - the existing one, I can replace it with a new, smaller one)
bar counter (turning to the wall so that you can expand the sofa or directly under it if it is along the wall)

Plan in the application.

From the wishes (rather a dream, because it is unlikely to work out this way):

countertop as a continuation of the window sill and is facing the window.
or a work surface as an extension of the window sill (cook facing the window).
a tall storage cabinet (with a TV or oven, i.e. something that can be included in it), because there are few lower drawers, and the dishes need to be stored somewhere.

The minus of the room, in addition to the size, is the window close to the wall. I hope you find my project interesting!”

We found this project interesting :)

Kitchen plan:

Mila was helped by our expert - interior designer Ashot Palajyan:

The dimensions of the sofa should be no more than 130x85 when folded and 130x2000 when unfolded (not a bed, but the size of the entire sofa when unfolded is 130x2000 !!!), otherwise you won’t fit anything!

Option 01 - the workplace (or continuation of the dining area) is located, as the Hostess wanted, in front of the window. But this is also a disadvantage - access to the window becomes more difficult. Another disadvantage is a small hob, the workplace is far from the sink and stove, there is no place for a dishwasher. True, there are options for P.M. small sizes that can be placed under the sink or even under the hob, but they are expensive and still need to be looked for. A bar with a lid-table must, of course, be made to order.

Option 02 is complex, requiring good technical performance! The main problem is that the drains are far from the sewer pipe. The door is replaced with a sliding door. Instead of a table, you can use a coffee table, which in the "sleeping version" is taken out of the kitchen.

Option 03 is the most logical, the sofa is located as in the Mistress's diagram. Option 03-1 - there is a table-book in front of the sofa, 5-6 people can fit behind it at the same time. The dimensions of the table are no more than 115x60 in the expanded and 35x60 in the closed state, but I did not find such a finished table, it must be made to order.

Or in option 03-2, a folding console table is attached to the wall. And if you remove the door altogether (you can only remove the door, do not touch the frame) - you can put a shallow cabinet-pencil case even up to the ceiling! The problem is that guests will have to sleep with the door open.

In option 03, it is not very clear what to do with the TV - either put it on the refrigerator, or attach it to the wall above the washer. In my opinion, it is generally better to throw it out of the kitchen.

Mila chose the first option:

"Thanks a lot!!! I really liked the 1st option. Option 2 is a dream, but there is not enough money for such a serious transfer of communications. Option 3 is what we have now with additions and permutations. And I really like non-standard! So let's go with option 1!

Only comments:

2 burners don't bother me! They are enough for the eyes! If only the working surface was larger due to 2x instead of 4x)
the question with the gas pipe - I don’t understand - how to conduct gas there ... I thought - a gas stove can only be where the pipe is. Or - in any case - she will remain along the wall, which is ugly, although she may hide behind the sofa. The photo shows how it goes!
I would replace the refrigerator with a lower one so that it would not create such a massive barrier at the entrance) "

Mila's opinion about the visualization of her new kitchen:

"I love! The only thing is that the refrigerator looks massive, I would make it built-in and lower in height. And I hung the TV instead of cabinets above it, that is, I would remove the upper cabinets. And cook on the table.”

And here is the final version, taking into account the wishes of Mila:

The hostess was pleased with the new kitchen:

"Great! Only I will hang the TV on the wall above the work surface near the window. It already exists - flat. As soon as there is a minute, I will color the visualization and send it to you in the color scheme in which I want to bring it to life! Thanks a lot! My passion for the unusual and non-standard is fully embodied)) I can't wait to start implementing it.»

Many thanks to Ashot Palajyan for such a responsible approach to all the wishes of our readers!

A kitchen with a sofa is always more than just a kitchen, because it is a bit of a living room, a bedroom, and a dining room at the same time. Sometimes a sofa in the kitchen is a necessary measure, so that if necessary or every day it turns into an extra bed. In a combined kitchen or in a studio apartment, the sofa is located in the living area, often it is he who divides the space into zones. And sometimes it is put in order to rationally fill the space, make the kitchen cozier, more convenient and comfortable.

One way or another, but the interior of the kitchen with a sofa cannot be called standard. Yes, and the sofa itself is more difficult to choose than chairs, because you need to take into account such factors as: the ratio of its size to the area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen, capacity and dimensions in assembled / unfolded form, ease of transformation, availability of storage space, structural reliability, upholstery practicality and pleasant design.

What type of sofa is suitable for the kitchen?

Like a sleeping place

If you need a sofa as a main or extra bed, then you need to choose a convertible model. There are more than 10 varieties of sofa transformation mechanisms with a berth, let's take a look at some of them.

"Dolphin" ("Kangaroo")- sofas with such a layout mechanism are perhaps the best option for a kitchen with a berth. It is "Dolphin" that is used in the designs of traditional kitchen corners. An extra bed is easily pulled out from under the seat of the long part of the sofa. This is the best option for any kitchen, especially a small one. The photo on the right shows a corner sofa for the kitchen, which converts into a single bed.

Tip: in the design of a high-quality and reliable "Dolphin" there should be closer springs.

Folding sofa-book and its variations: "Eurobook", "Click-clack" ("Relax") and "Tick-tock"- if you need a bed that will be laid out daily, then opt for the "Eurobook" or "Click-clack" - they are the most reliable and easy to unfold, and also have convenient places to store things. But the standard "books" are suitable if the "bed" is exclusively a guest bed and will not be laid out daily.

Tip: the "Eurobook" retractable with the help of profiles, and not rollers, will last longer.

Model "Accordion"- a good option, as they are very easy and quick to unfold, but require a lot of space in front of them.

"French folding bed" and "Sedaflex"- such sofas often have beautiful elegant backs, since during the transformation they remain motionless, and the mattresses are laid out according to the principle of a folding bed. They are suitable for, as they take up very little space when assembled. Of these two types, Sedaflex is more suitable for regular use, but it also costs more. French folding beds will fit only for guest use.

Roll-out sofas are perhaps the least suitable for kitchen conditions - you can’t store things in non-corner models, they are relatively difficult to unfold, and the mechanism is not the most reliable. In addition, when disassembled, they require a lot of space in front of them.

A kitchen with a berth can be equipped not only with a sofa bed, but also with a single couch, sofa or ottoman, on which you can sleep, relax and sit at the table.

Sofa instead of or in addition to chairs

If a kitchen with a sleeping place is not relevant for you and you only need a sofa as an alternative or addition to chairs, then you can choose the following types of furniture:

A bench, a straight or corner sofa for the kitchen with storage boxes is the best option for small kitchens. A kitchen sofa can often be bought complete with a table and a couple of stools. You can read more about dining corners and see more photos in a separate article on this topic (the link will be below).

Tip: if you often plan to use voluminous drawers under the seat, then give preference to furniture with a lifting mechanism located on the side - so the dining table will not interfere with the opening.

If you rely not on functionality, but on beautiful design, then a traditional corner sofa for the kitchen can be replaced by a bench, very similar to a garden bench. It does not have a storage section, but it fits organically into the interiors of kitchens in or rustic style.

The bay window kitchen sofa is designed to be installed in an appropriate niche. As a rule, such furniture is made to order, so that it exactly matches the dimensions and shape of the existing niche. The photo below shows a kitchen interior with a 3 m long sofa in a bay window. You can read more about the design of a kitchen with a bay window.

Banquettes and ottomans are the most beautiful and most often expensive type of sofa. The design of the kitchen with this type of sofa will be stylish and not "overloaded".

Materials and upholstery - what to look for in the store

The most practical and stylish material for the frame remains natural wood, more precisely, its denser and more durable varieties: beech and oak, as well as birch and pine as a budget alternative. Wood must be specially impregnated to protect against moisture. The most budget option is laminated chipboard, but keep in mind that chipboard sofas have a service life of only 5 years.

As for the upholstery, the most beautiful, practical, and therefore the most expensive solution will be genuine leather. It is easier to take care of than a fabric that absorbs dirt.

Leatherette is also distinguished by practicality and durability, as well as external showiness - but only on condition that you choose a truly high-quality material.

If the design of the kitchen with a sofa requires fabric upholstery, then you can pay attention to:

cotton and polyester blend is a common upholstery option for modern sofas;

wear-resistant furniture jacquard.

having decided to put a fabric sofa in the kitchen, take care of the efficient operation of the hood so that the upholstery does not get greasy and is less saturated with odors;
it is better when the kitchen sofa is equipped with removable covers. So you do not have to worry about the safety of the upholstery, because the covers are easily washed or replaced with new ones. In addition, the design of the kitchen with a sofa with removable covers can be easily changed according to your desire.

And it is also very important to choose the right filler, especially if a kitchen with a berth is arranged. It should be practical and hypoallergenic. Therefore, artificial materials are used for kitchen furniture fillers - for example, holofiber or polyurethane foam that perfectly restores shape. Foam rubber is rarely used in modern models - it is a budget material, the service life of which almost never exceeds 4 years.

Where is the best place to put the sofa?

You can choose the following kitchen design with a sofa:

The sofa dining area opposite the kitchen set is a standard solution that is most appropriate in standard rectangular kitchens. In the photo below, an example of a kitchen design with a sofa with a parallel arrangement of furniture.

A corner sofa in the kitchen of a small area or with a bay window is most often placed in the corner by the window.

Kitchen design these days can be done in a variety of styles and variations. In addition to traditional kitchen elements, a large number of innovations have recently appeared that significantly expand the functionality of this room. These include a small sofa in the kitchen with a bed.

In the modern market, such an interior element is still considered a novelty, however, it is rapidly gaining popularity, which is not surprising:

firstly, it is a stylish and convenient accessory for a modern kitchen;
secondly - an extra bed.

What is a kitchen sofa

Unfortunately, a significant part of our population lives in Khrushchev houses, which do not differ in special dimensions.

Therefore, many people decide on various tricks so that a small two-room apartment of a standard layout can accommodate a dining room, a kitchen, a guest room, a nursery, and a bedroom for parents. With the right approach, all this is possible.

In the minds of most people, the kitchen is the place where food is prepared, as well as the procedure for eating it.

Few people thought that traditional cuisine can be presented in a slightly different perspective, namely, as a guest room.

Such a transformation can be easily achieved by using only one piece of furniture. Small sofas for the kitchen with a berth become a real salvation when there is simply nowhere to accommodate guests.

Naturally, one should immediately make a reservation that in this case we are talking only about those kitchens whose area is at least nine square meters.

In a small kitchen, in the presence of all the main elements of the interior, the sofa simply cannot be expanded to a normal bed.

Often the owners of such kitchens do not know where to install the refrigerator, not to mention the sofa.

Advice! In no case should the kitchen sofa be positioned as a full-fledged sleeping place. This is an exclusively temporary, guest option, since many manufacturers, in an effort to reduce the size of such furniture, sacrifice comfort.

The mattresses of these sofas are far from perfect, and the bed does not have good dimensions.

At the moment, kitchen sofas are made by various manufacturers. They are distinguished by the price, quality of materials and appearance.

In order to purchase a truly worthy product that will serve you for many years, you should pay attention to several aspects. The instructions for choosing in this case are not difficult.

Materials. Upholstery material is one of the most important aspects in choosing. Naturally, the upholstery should be easy to clean and resistant to abrasion. Spots in this case are inevitable because cooking will be carried out near such a sofa. If there are children in the house, then the issue of stains is even more relevant.

For such sofas, leather substitute is most often used, however, if finances allow, it is better to get a product with genuine leather upholstery.

You should also pay attention to the bed itself. It is good if its upholstery is a dense high-quality fabric. In this case, the sheet will not move out during sleep, causing discomfort to your guest.

Advice! It is better to choose a sofa for the kitchen in light shades, since dark ones will visually reduce the space of the room.

Shape and size. Despite its functional features, such a sofa will most often be used by you during a meal. In this case, it should ideally fit the table so that you can sit comfortably on it while eating. If you have already made a purchase, and after a while you find that this height does not suit you, then you should replace the legs of the sofa with adjustable ones.

Such furniture should be devoid of armrests, which will provide you with a comfortable seating at the table from the side. The presence of massive armrests in this case is not only inconvenient, but also visually increases the size of the sofa, reducing, accordingly, the kitchen space.

Alternatives. In the event that you are not satisfied with any model of a folding sofa, you can turn your attention to the chairs (pictured above), which, if necessary, can also be transformed into an extra bed. It is also possible to develop a drawing of such a sofa with your own hands. Nowadays, there are special workshops that can create a piece of furniture, guided by your requests.

Mechanism. Most often, these sofas are equipped with a folding mechanism. However, products on the market are based on specially developed technologies that are designed to optimize the process of folding the sofa. Depending on the mechanism, you should consider the place in which the table will be removed in order to ensure a smooth transformation into a bed.

Conclusion

Progress does not stand still these days. Everything develops and improves, and furniture is no exception.

Various devices and items are being developed to expand the functional scope of the room.

If until recently the kitchen was exclusively a place for cooking and eating, now this room can become an excellent analogue of the living room.

Naturally, this proposal is relevant for small apartments and houses, where there is an acute shortage of free space.

If you want to get more information regarding the choice of kitchen sofas, then you should watch the video located at the bottom of the page.

Since the kitchen occupies a special place in ordinary apartments, not only for cooking and eating, but also for communicating with family and friends, our task is to make this room as comfortable and functional as possible. Moreover, most of our residents do not have huge areas, especially in the kitchen.

Therefore, furniture is needed such that it saves our space. For example, if you organize an extra bed in the kitchen, the owners will add not only convenience, but also comfort.

KITCHEN CORNER WITH A BED - JUST A FIND
When equipping a kitchen, especially a small one, it is most relevant to use literally every centimeter of the available area with benefit and maximum convenience. For many families, a kitchen corner with a berth, which is an original design solution and serves for multifunctional kitchens, is a great help in organizing space in the kitchen.

This option is especially relevant for one-room apartments, in which an extra bed cannot be arranged anywhere else, except in the kitchen. It will not be superfluous in both 2 and 3-room apartments. Among other things, a soft modern kitchen corner looks very stylish and is able to turn an ordinary kitchen into a wonderful comfortable dining room or just a relaxation area.

FUNCTIONS THAT THE KITCHEN CORNER CARRIES
In general, usually corners for a kitchen with a berth are themselves universal. However, before you make a purchase, you should still decide what functions we need most.
The fact is that there are corners for the kitchen of simpler models, they take up much less space, and are also economical in terms of money. There are also chic kitchen corners with a berth, allowing you to use the kitchen as an extra room. They are now gaining more and more popularity due to their ergonomics and versatility. Well, one cannot but recognize the fact that it is this option that is practically the only and optimal one, which allows you to best combine kitchen furniture with a sleeping place. This is a universal solution that serves as a dining area during the day and as a bed at night, especially since when folded, the corner takes up a minimum of space, and its design is so simple that even a child can handle it. The most important thing is to choose the right turn and size.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT KITCHEN CORNER
When choosing a kitchen corner, it is very important to take into account the dimensions of the room as accurately as possible, because. furniture should fit perfectly into them, i.e. kitchen groups should be both comfortable and compact, because. modern apartments most often do not have large dimensions, however, like apartments in old houses.
The most compact is the corner furniture, which includes a sofa corner section, as well as a table with chairs or stools. There are also very simple small corner sofas for the kitchen, differing from the sofas for the living room only in small sizes. In addition, there are folding kitchen sofas, which are the best solution for small kitchens.

Also, if you want to save space, you should decide on the number of people for whom this furniture should be designed. From here, the size of the required kitchenette will be determined. At the same time, sofas should not interfere with work in the kitchen.
In addition, it is very important to carefully consider the zones and their locations. For example, the sink should not be too noticeable, and from the bed it would be nice if the door was visible - in this case it would be psychologically more comfortable.

It would also be a good idea to choose kitchen corner sofas complete with other items, such as a table, chairs and ottomans, so that the overall interior design is unified, harmonious and stylish.

The material from which such kitchen corners are usually made is natural or artificial leather. But flock can also be used, which is also not afraid of steam, moisture, or various kitchen odors. Modern technologies represent a sufficiently high-quality and wear-resistant material for upholstery of upholstered furniture. By the way, artificial leather is very popular today, the quality of which, one might say, is no worse than natural. In addition, there is a wide range of colors and textures to choose from.

As for which color to choose, it is not difficult to do even for already installed furniture. If there is little sunlight in the kitchen, then yellow, beige, orange, in a word, sunny shades will be ideal, which will make the room lighter, more spacious and comfortable. The most common color for kitchen corners is brown with all its existing shades. Such a choice is also determined by the fact that most often the furniture in the kitchen is purchased with the texture of wood.

If desired, you can add contrast to the interior, as well as focus on new furniture, if you choose a shade that is different from the general color scheme. For example, such combinations are often used: green and orange, white and blue, red and black or white - all this contributes to the creation of an unusual and sophisticated interior in the kitchen.

Well, the red color of furniture in combination with wooden or metal elements is considered trendy - this solution contributes to the creation of a creative design.
KITCHEN SOFAS
At the moment, there is a wide range of kitchen sofas on sale, which are in demand, both among owners of small apartments and owners of large spacious dwellings. By purchasing a separate kitchen sofa, you will get:
aesthetic appearance;
compactness;
a wide variety of forms - couches, corner sofas, classic ones with armrests and backs, and many others;
durability and ease of use - thanks to modern materials that repel dirt and liquid;
in some cases, the presence of transformation models.

ADVANTAGES OF KITCHEN CORNERS
Kitchen corners have a number of advantages over chairs and stools:
they are much more comfortable to sit on;
they take up much less space (space is saved due to the fact that the corner is placed in a corner or against a wall);
they accommodate many more people;
multifunctionality (unlike chairs and stools, corners are a place to store things, sit, and also sleep).
The kitchen with a berth serves, first of all, to make the apartment more multifunctional, more practical, and, of course, more comfortable and stylish.
