Options dining area for a small kitchen several: but first you need to decide on its location. Will there be a main dining area in the kitchen, or does your apartment have an additional dining area and only need a breakfast area?

The most comfortable option full furniture in the kitchen measuring 2 by 3 meters - a folding round table with chairs. Due to the absence of sharp corners, the table does not take up much space, and the chairs can be moved under it, stacked into each other or folded and stored more compactly. And when the whole family gathers for dinner, it will be easy to place them around the table.

Suitable for small families bar counter design: it is advisable to make it in the form of a peninsula so that the tabletop also serves as a working space. In a small kitchen, versatility is extremely important.

Often the dining area is made on the windowsill - it is convenient and aesthetically pleasing, but you cannot seat many guests behind it. Therefore, additional space with a large table in the living room will come in handy.

An example of design in various styles

Arranging a tiny kitchenette assumes the absence of unnecessary details; modern styles are best suited for this purpose.

IN minimalism the main rule: nothing more. Empty countertops, closed cabinets with blank facades. The requirement for a single color finish in light colors applies to all surfaces: from walls to furniture.

Give preference to a monochrome palette and paint the walls in the color of the cabinets: with this technique, the furniture literally dissolves against the background of the walls and becomes completely invisible.

IN scandinavian style the white palette does not look as cold as in the first case. The interior is more cozy thanks to the wooden table top, decor in the form of wicker baskets or posters, beautiful dishes on open shelves, wallpaper with a scandi print.

Advice! By opting for shelves instead of wall cabinets, you will certainly create more space at the top. But the shelves should not be overcrowded to avoid chaos in the kitchen.

The dominant principle in hi-tech is shine. Glass, metal, high-quality plastic, an abundance of light. And from the first section, we remember that all these elements are visual expanders of space. What is on hand in compact rooms.

Another important rule - the use of modern technologies.This applies to both furniture fittings and appliances: it must be ultramodern and functional.

The neoclassical style is not as minimalistic as the previous ones, but still light and modern. Headsets in this style for the most part matte, with beautiful milling: yes, they will not reflect light, but they will not look bulky either - thanks to the white color.

Particular attention should be paid to the luminaires: they are the main decorative elements of the style. Choose medium-sized models in white, gold, or decorated with glass beads. Glass, by the way, can also be on the facades: it is an excellent substitute for gloss.

A small kitchen is not a sentence! It can be functional, roomy and very stylish. See a photo of a 2 by 3 kitchen design in the gallery and choose the option that suits you best.
