KITCHEN: how to choose the right type of furniture?
Practical advice on defining spaces for more functional use
IIn a residential kitchen project we very often find ourselves having to choose:
- lin the most suitable position for our furnishings;
- il type most suited to our interests.
Most of the time it becomes difficult to orient oneself.
In the case of the kitchen, a very important purchase for family life, we instinctively dedicate ourselves to it almost exclusively to aesthetics. Unfortunately, sometimes they are overlooked. the little tricks that over time could be fundamental for its use.
OBSERVE
We often consult magazines, blogs and catalogues. QThese use eye-catching photos that highlight some features while leaving out aspects that could be fundamental in our case. A careful look suggests the right path to take. A piece of advice is not to get carried away by enthusiasm. Vcalmly evaluate the solutions, trying to delve into the qualitative aspects that allow you to make a more informed choice. It would be counterproductive to buy a kitchen that does not meet our needs well.
Attention to details and the particularities of one product rather than another helps us to orient ourselves in the selection and facilitates the construction of our kitchen space.

COMPARISON
When choosing furniture, it is useful to understand the facets that each product can take on. Let's analyze best our needs and what we are looking for with priority. Generally the basic kitchen modules have these dimensions:
- 30/60/90/120 cm in length
- 61/53 cm deep
- 85/90/95 cm high
Each brand has custom measurements and proportions, or intermediate ones depending on the model.
| TYPE | MINIMAL SIZE |
|---|---|
| Hob | 60 x 60 cm |
| Bakery | 60 x 100/120 cm |
| Sink and dish drainer | 60 x 60 cm |
| Refrigerator | 60 x 60 cm |
| Dishwasher | 60 x 60 cm |
| Work plan | 60 x 60 cm |
LIFESTYLE
The choice of kitchen style reflects the environment that composes it and is influenced by different factors such as the use of color, which could enhance or hide some points, rather than the shape.
When selecting finishes, it is generally important to choose soft shades that are hard to get tired of, such as white and green, which make the space appear larger. Choosing a very elaborate style full of details could be heavy in the long run. It would also be useful to alternate square elements with others with softer shapes.

PROJECT
The design of a kitchen is very important and must necessarily be accurate, to ensure that it identifies all the elements in a logical and functional way.
The best project always arises from a relationship of mutual trust between the designer and the client, to combine functionality and aesthetics in the best possible way.
When designing such a space, one must take into account its use, its ability to adapt to the client's needs and taste. In the section CAD dwg blocks and Projects we offer many interesting solutions and ideas. Each kitchen model, depending on the brand, has elements that characterize it (a shelf or a wall unit), and make it special.
Relying on a professional can be an optimal solution both in terms of time and quality of the result.
