Fashionable corner kitchens 2022 - new designs with photos

Advantages and disadvantages of corner kitchens

The modern corner kitchen of 2022, a photo of which can be found in any design magazine, is compact. With proper planning, minimal space will be used. It is possible to install a refrigerator, stove and sink according to the triangle rule, this will make it more convenient to move around the room.

On a note!

With this layout, it is convenient to zone the space into 2 parts: a work area, in which the entire set will be located, and for relaxation and comfort - with a table, chairs (if there is room, with a corner sofa).

Corner structures also have disadvantages. If the walls are uneven or damaged, furniture installation will most likely be impossible. Mostly, the sink is placed in the corner; not everyone will find this location convenient. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to make sure that such a layout is convenient for each family member.

Types of corner kitchens with a small corner

Rounded facades look stylish and make the interior more expensive and interesting. There are different types of oval sets, which differ in the radius of the waves, the number of wave-shaped facades, and the sizes of the sections.

The most popular model is a combined corner rounded kitchen, which combines smooth facades with wavy ones. The central or side sections can be round. The oval side modules look beautiful, reducing the risk of injury when cooking.

The shape of rounded facades can be:

• convex;
• concave;
• horizontal;
• vertical.

Concave doors are placed on the corners, convex doors are placed on the ends or upper modules. Concave models are more expensive than convex ones. Drawers can also be radius.

A radius set takes up more space than classic straight furniture, keep this in mind when decorating furniture at the KUXNI-LUX factory. Radius furniture is suitable for you if:

• room more than 10 square meters;
• you have a studio apartment;
• the apartment has an open plan;
• The kitchen area is combined with the dining room.

Curved corner kitchens will fit well in a room decorated in a classic, modern, Provence, or country style. In classic and Provence, radius elements are used at the ends. Islands, cabinets, and a bar counter can be wave-shaped. Models in country style have wavy ends adjacent to milling. The central part remains with straight doors, which are most often glazed.

Who is suitable for corner kitchens?

Corner kitchen design 2022 suits all apartments and houses. Even for a small area, you can choose an L-shaped layout with a bar counter. There are no restrictions for large rooms; it all depends on preferences and taste.

A corner kitchen for a small apartment can serve as a “distributor” between the cooking area and the rest of the space. It is convenient and compact. This move will save space for relaxation and allow, for example, to place a corner sofa.

Sofas and chairs for a round kitchen

The comfort and coziness of the kitchen largely depends on chairs, stools and sofa corners. A stylish semicircular sofa can be a highlight in arranging a dining room. For sofas of this shape, the seat is made in the form of an arc with a strong or weak bend.

When choosing such furniture, you should evaluate the size of the room and its combination with other interior items. It should not only look exclusive, but be practical and comfortable.

There are modular types of sofas that can be disassembled into separate seats for guests and assembled into new compositions. Round chairs, stools, ottomans complement the overall style of the kitchen.

Varieties of corner kitchen layouts

New design trends for corner kitchens in 2022 allow you to place furniture to suit every taste. All that remains is to plan the location of the cooking and relaxation areas, lunch and tea drinking.

With an island

This arrangement is convenient for those who have a room of at least 15 m². One of the advantages of the island is functionality. It can be a set (for example, a tabletop) or a bar counter. This arrangement is also ergonomic and does not interfere with movement around the kitchen. If there are several people in the room, one can cook at the island, the second at the main kitchen surface.

On a note!

This layout has only one drawback. To carry out communications, you will have to raise the floor a few centimeters.

L-shaped

This is the most popular and versatile location. Suitable for any situation, rationally distributes space. There are 2 types of module configurations: beveled and straight. The first is often used for washing in the corner. But, if there is not much space, it would be better to abandon this idea and choose the direct option. To save space, you need to hang shelves and hanging cabinets in the corners.

With bar counter

Furniture is placed along two walls, one of them continues with a bar counter. This arrangement saves space and adds convenience to small spaces. The layout is suitable for a studio apartment, as it will separate the recreation area.

With window

This location is suitable for country houses. The most effective use of windows is in long rooms. It is better to hang them using blinds than curtains. Fabric options will often get dirty and may be unsafe if located above the stove.

Combined with living room

This layout looks spacious, free, and doubles the amount of daylight. It can be decorated in any style. Everything will look cozy and comfortable. But combined rooms are not always convenient when cooking. All smells and noises will be in the living room.

On a note!

Sometimes there is also a problem with demolishing a wall. Therefore, this option is more suitable for studio apartments.

Two-level

If you have free space, you can add multi-level cabinets and cabinets to your design. The outside will not differ from the usual design idea, so it will not spoil the appearance of the room. But multi-level cabinets are easy to use. This is a good decision. If possible, it is better to order such furniture.

Radius and rounded kitchens: everything for the comfort of the hostess!

The kitchen is the kingdom of delicious pastries, healthy food and a place where the whole family spends pleasant moments in life. Such a colorful description does not apply to the time when the hostess (owner) “wraps up the kilometers” in the process of cooking. Meanwhile, it is the optimization of this process that has always been of interest to specialists in the field of design and design of premises.

It would seem that the modern kitchen has taken the form of modular systems with maximum “stuffing” of internal space. But no, the design designers have developed a completely contradictory (at first glance) system that will fit perfectly into both a spacious room and an old-style miniature kitchen . Radius or rounded kitchens - they are united by rounded shapes of facades and countertops. Outwardly, such headsets resemble natural lines and evoke thoughts of space. Minimum of angles and straight lines, maximum functionality and aesthetics.

Advantages of a radius kitchen

Do you remember how the architects of Soviet apartments justified miniature kitchens? It all came down to convenience for the housewife: in a small space she travels much fewer kilometers than in a spacious kitchen. Radius or round kitchens are designed in such a way that the cooking process is as optimized as possible and brings only pleasure. Therefore, modern rounded U-shaped kitchens use the same “work triangle” and even islands.

How to create such perfection? Before you buy a ready-made set, evaluate the benefits of using it in your own kitchen. If you love experiments and are quite tired of the linear kitchen, you can safely order a design project from professionals. If we talk about choosing the style or shape of a rounded kitchen, then there are a lot of options: a work area along the round wall and an island; one side is located along the wall, and the second has the shape of an unfinished arc; original “serpentine” from the tabletop and bar counter... As you can see, there is a lot of variety.

Pros of using a round kitchen:

• Save time. Rounded kitchens differ from linear ones in that you work inside the unit, thereby reducing the time for processing food. When it comes to linear kitchens, you spend a lot of time going through all the food preparation processes. In a rounded kitchen you reduce the distance traveled by at least half. For example, the location of the sink, preparation area and hob in a linear kitchen is located in a straight line and you need to walk a certain number of steps to use all areas. And in a rounded kitchen, due to the arched countertop, you should either reach out or take one step to the side .
• Ergonomics . Every little detail of this headset is thought out 100%. If you open a drawer, it opens as much as possible; if you need to chop vegetables, a tabletop made of high-quality material will save you time searching for a cutting board; You can turn on the hood or oven with a half turn, since they are at an accessible distance. Cabinets, drawers, carousels, systems for opening doors and storing kitchen utensils - all this takes into account your interests and makes the cooking process quick and enjoyable.
• Aesthetics . Perfect shapes, not quite familiar to most people, will make your kitchen unique. In addition, the tendency to use a combination of different shades and textures of materials as decor will allow you to implement the option that is most suitable for you and your interior.
• Quality materials . The search for new solutions for more convenient, economical and durable use contributes to the use of higher quality materials for “new generation” kitchen sets. For example, a tabletop made of special metal can be used to form a rounded arc - a working area , and smoothly transition to an upper decorative panel with connectors for storing glasses and other accessories.

If you are an adherent of techno or hi-tech , this model will organically fit both into the interior and into your ideas about the ideal kitchen. The peculiarity of such systems is that when you are not using it for its intended purpose, it looks like a single whole with virtually no joints between departments and a harmonious combination of materials, textures and shades.

A thousand little things in one box

To save maximum space, you can use so-called cylinder kitchens or round systems . What is their difference from rounded ones? While in a rounded or round kitchen there is an internal area where you sit for cooking, in the case of a cylinder kitchen you simply walk up to the structure and begin the process.

Imagine walking up to a round cabinet, opening the screen, and a full-fledged mini-version of the kitchen . There is everything or almost everything here, but the most necessary: ​​a hob, a cutting area, a sink, an extractor hood, drawers and cabinets for storing everything you need, a refrigerator, a microwave and other attributes of a modern kitchen. What's the secret? Thanks to the innovative development, the cylinder kitchen works due to the central frame, which allows for circular movements of 180° and even 360° (upper sections). An analogy can be drawn with carousels for kitchen cabinets, only instead of shelves you are provided with a full-fledged modern kitchen.

Who is this option suitable for? If your apartment is very small , you can use this model to save space and create a modern studio. Moreover, by using a screen, the internal parts of the system can be hidden if desired. Such systems are also often used for offices or mobile homes. Space saving, functionality and ergonomics - you don’t have to make unnecessary movements to prepare food, just turn the structure in the required direction. To understand whether you need this option, visit several salons and walk through such models. See if you can change the way you use your kitchen space a little. If yes, then a rounded or circular kitchen will satisfy and even exceed your expectations!

What style to decorate a corner kitchen

In terms of style, corner furniture is universal. For example, for lovers of natural materials, the classic option is suitable. The color can be either light gray with a white palette of shades, or dark like natural wood, varnished.

Household appliances are selected in light colors, mostly white. The façade itself looks large and expensive. Built-in household appliances are used, hidden from view. All elements are combined and harmonized.

For those who want a more modern corner kitchen design in 2022, a high-tech interior with small metal inserts and synthetic materials is suitable. Here is a more varied range of colors:

• white;
• red;
• black;
• orange;
• blue;
• purple.

This style is characterized by straight lines and minimalism. All surfaces are glossy and look strict. This interior is suitable for an apartment.

Country style would be appropriate for a country house. Here the entire set is made of natural wood or chipboard and MDF. It would be appropriate to use white and gray colors. Textiles with floral patterns or checkered patterns are used.

The eclectic style is ideal for an L-shaped layout. Suitable for small and medium-sized rooms. Synthetic and natural materials are used in the design.

On a note!

It combines elements that at first glance are incompatible. All this makes this style unusual and new.

Materials for creating the structure

Stylish kitchens with rounded facades (photo) are made from multi-layer plywood, chipboard, MDF, laminated chipboard, solid wood.

• Natural wood offers paneled and solid façade options. The array is always popular, especially for rooms in a classical style.
• Laminated chipboard is an inexpensive option, demonstrates good strength indicators, the influence of constantly high humidity has an adverse effect on the properties of the material.
• MDF is used most often - it is the most practical material made from raw materials of natural origin.

Aluminum and stainless steel make durable frames, but they fit only into ultra-modern styles.

Advantages of MDF facades:

• A kitchen with a rounded corner (photo) made of MDF is the optimal solution in terms of cost and quality;
• The high strength of the material ensures that the furniture is resistant to stress;
• Eco-friendly composition: natural raw materials are used, without toxic additives;
• MDF lends itself well to processing, bends, allows you to get concave and curved shapes of different sizes;
• Aesthetic appearance of the material, the ability to use a wide range of finishing options;
• The design is lightweight, yet durable and reliable;
• Resistance to consistently high humidity, which is important for the kitchen.

The design of rounded kitchens (photo) involves the use of a variety of finishes. Which option should I choose?

What finishing materials can be used

Now there is a large selection of tiles, not only square and rectangular. Such options are practically no longer used. You can create an unusual pattern of any shape, and it will look new. A rough tile surface is more preferable, since a glossy one requires more careful maintenance.

There are 2 main types of panels: wooden and plastic. The first one is suitable for a country house. Plastic ones are used for city apartments. If there is strong humidity in the kitchen, it is better to choose plastic, but it may not withstand high temperatures.

Plaster is the most versatile material. You can choose any shade and method of application that will suit the interior. Plaster can also imitate other materials. It does not need frequent cleaning.

Stone is a universal material; it looks solid and monumental. Decorative stone can be used in any interior. The range is mostly dim, but it looks expensive and elegant. It would be best to finish a small area with brick (for example, an apron), and the rest with plaster or other material.

On a note!

This solution is not suitable for everyone. But if you do everything correctly, you will get a cozy atmosphere not only for cooking, but also for relaxing.

Types of finishing for radius facades

• PVC film

Budget level coverage option. The surface is available in a wide range of colors and shades. The advantages of this option include: resistance to moisture, ease of film application, affordable maintenance, and the surface is easily cleaned of dirt. Disadvantages: relatively short service life, the surface can fade, and with constant exposure to high temperatures, the film can peel off over time.

• Painted surfaces

Special enamel forms a reliable, water-resistant coating, making the facades resistant to exposure to moisture. A rounded kitchen in a studio or an ordinary apartment with a painted set offers a wide range of decor options: regular mirror gloss, mother-of-pearl, patterns, metallic effect, neutral and bright colors are available. The enamel is not afraid of high temperatures, aggressive detergents, does not fade under the influence of UV radiation, and minor mechanical damage is easy to repair.

• Veneering

The use of veneer is a harmonious solution for classic styles, ethnic solutions, Scandinavian, minimalist designs. The surface is practically no different from natural solid wood and looks realistic.

• Acrylic

The decorative coating is applied to the MDF panel to create a straight or corner rounded kitchen (photo) using a special adhesive composition and pressure. The result is a uniform, beautiful surface with a wide range of advantages: high strength and resistance to damage, aesthetics of a gloss or matte finish, environmental friendliness, resistance to fading, aggressive substances, and moisture. Over time, acrylic retains its excellent design and technical properties, which explains the growing popularity of this finishing option.

Small rounded kitchens with acrylic coating, thanks to their uniform gloss, visually enlarge the space and visually expand the boundaries.

Radius facades allow the use of glazing, which serves as an additional decoration and facilitates the design.

Lighting options

Lighting has many nuances. Basic moments:

1. General lighting. This is one or more light sources built into the ceiling, usually one pendant lamp with a large shade or several arms. But such lighting is concentrated in the center and does not fall into the main working area. Therefore, it needs to be supplemented with light for the cooking area. Almost all corner kitchens in a modern style in 2022 are endowed with this design.
2. Light in the work area. Installed together with general lighting. You can, for example, cook not with all the lamps on, but only with several light sources below eye level. For such lighting, spot or elongated lamps are chosen.
3. Decorative – to emphasize style and beauty. Suitable for unusual and original kitchens. This kind of lighting cannot replace the main one, but it will look good in many designs. Decorative lamps are often installed for plants.

There is also interior lighting for kitchen cabinets. A good choice for places where general light does not reach. This is a purely utilitarian option. It will not spoil or improve the appearance of the room.

Dimensions of the round table

A table measuring one meter can accommodate almost six people. If the dimensions of the structure are larger, then ten people can sit comfortably behind it.

For small kitchen spaces, it is recommended to install small tables.

But there is furniture designed for eating with a sliding system. In the usual version, it is an ordinary table that occupies a small area, and if guests come to the house, it easily turns into a large table for celebration.

What furniture to choose for a corner kitchen

To save time, you can take a ready-made kitchen. But if you decide to choose the design yourself, there are several rules.

You need to plan your work triangle. In the future, this will save energy and time on cooking. It consists of a refrigerator, stove and sink. Either a gas stove or a washing compartment is usually installed in the corner. But in most photos of modern corner kitchens in 2021, according to design ideas, the stove is preferable.

On a note!

In small rooms, the problem of space allocation is pressing. In this case, a corner set, shelves or cabinets solve this issue.

General style elements

If the choice, when decorating a kitchen space, falls on ultra-modern technological styles, close to modern or high-tech, then a radius set is more suitable for this than others. In unique designs, it becomes possible to use the latest technical and design discoveries, as well as the most unusual materials and objects.

Additional furnishing details include chandeliers, lamps, household appliances, decorative ornaments, dishes and even a round kitchen hood. When everything is chosen tastefully and harmoniously complements each other, this is a good basis for establishing peace and joy for the inhabitants of the living space.

Color solutions

For a monochromatic kitchen, light beige or dark brown shades are suitable. This color suits most styles. Corner sets of these shades look especially good in small kitchens.

Successful color combinations:

• black and white;
• gray with orange;
• beige and gray;
• gray with wine;
• red with white;
• yellow with lilac.

The gamma can be not only monochromatic, it will add brightness to the design. For harmony, 2 shades are enough.

How to properly use radius facades in the kitchen interior

• Curved facades fit well into almost any interior style: from high-tech to classic and Provence. At the same time, the peculiarity of the radius design is the lightness and elegance of the resulting result.
• A kitchen with radius fronts is almost always a custom-made product, since it requires maximum adjustment not only to the size of the room, but also a competent choice of waves and design transitions.

• When choosing this option for a small kitchen, you should not make a lot of “waves”. In a small kitchen, one or two smooth transitions are enough.
• When choosing a color for radius facades, you should remember that the complexity of the form compensates for the simplicity and restraint of the color scheme. The more ornate the shape of the facade, the lighter its color should be: too bright shades can “kill” the originality of bent furniture.
• The choice of material for curved facades is another important point in the process of creating such a structure. All possible options - from veneered to glass - are worthy and suitable for a certain style.

How to decorate a corner kitchen in Khrushchev

Corner kitchens are best suited for Khrushchev-era apartments, as they save a lot of space. The standard furniture arrangement is as follows:

• near the wall from the entrance there are countertops and drawers with a width less than standard;
• a wall with a set and a refrigerator are located perpendicularly;
• the table stands in the other corner of the wall with a window opposite the refrigerator, as an option - a window sill-tabletop;
• The sink is in the corner.

Corner kitchens are convenient and comfortable. You can choose any style, color, placement method for yourself. It is possible to either buy a ready-made corner kitchen or create a new design yourself. With proper planning, kitchen furniture will allow you to rationally place not only a work area, but also a corner for relaxation.

Mixed furniture shapes

Sometimes a corner round kitchen is not suitable for the area and layout of the house or has only a rounded facade. But if the organization of space allows for the placement of round furniture in the center of the room, then you should buy a round table for the kitchen. Semicircular, round or oval shapes are always more practical than rectangular ones of the same size.

A table that does not have corners can accommodate more people and can accommodate more cutlery. In addition, everyone will see each other and communication will cause less inconvenience. It is also convenient that the round table has no edges and you can leave it without disturbing those sitting next to you.
