How to decorate a kitchen with a gas stove?

Which stove should you choose?

By design features, there are 3 types of gas stoves:

1. Floor standing... Floor standing models. Them main disadvantage - isolation, it will be more difficult to fit into the headset. In addition, the oven cannot be taken out in a pencil case or column. Modern technology is divided into fully gas (gas burners and oven) or combined (electric oven + gas or gas and electric burners).
2. Embedded... The hob is purchased separately from the oven. Benefits: you can choose a different size, color, style, model company. You can also place it separately, leaving the hob on the table, and raising the oven to hand level, or sliding it along the bottom to the other convenient side.
3. Tabletop... In addition to being budget-friendly and compact, these tiles, in theory, have one advantage: mobility. Can be carried from place to place, put away in a closet. In fact, in apartments with a central gas pipeline, this advantage is lost: it is forbidden to turn off the stoves on your own... But this option is ideal for houses or summer cottages, where the source of gas is a cylinder.

The next important nuance, according to which the plates are selected - burners. First, their the size: If you usually use large pots and pans, choose wide models with large burners. Previously, the standard was a surface with one small, two medium and one large - but today you can find almost any combination.

Secondly, quantity... In kitchens with gas stoves, 4-burner models are usually used: it is convenient to put several objects, cook 2-3 dishes at once and boil the kettle. In fact, in many cases 2: especially if 1-2 people or more live in the apartment, but they rarely cook. It is also a great way to save space. small kitchen... For large families and constantly cooking housewives, there are variations with 5-6 burners.

Separately, it should be said about coating... Distinguish 3:

• Enamel... Common slabs are white, black, brown. But there are red, blue, yellow, green. Enameled models are inexpensive and long-lasting. Among the disadvantages is the possibility of chips, difficulty in care.
• Stainless steel... It is easier to clean than enamel, but requires the use of special detergents. Looks stylish but always the same. It costs more than the first material.
• Glass ceramics... Outwardly similar to induction or electric, but has gas burners. Glass-ceramic panels look stylish (suitable for modern interiors) and are easy to clean. They are more expensive than analogs.

And the last important detail - control type... There are mechanical (rotating handles) or touch.Lamb is difficult to wash, dirt gets clogged under them - therefore, from mechanical options, give preference to recessed handles.

How to beautifully fit into the interior of the kitchen?

A kitchen with a gas stove can be beautiful! To achieve this, you need to find a model with a suitable color and design.

Color spectrum ranges from classic white (universal for any style), beige (usually has a classic design), black (fits perfectly into a dark kitchen or loft style). Before color: enameled gas stoves can be dark (burgundy, indigo), bright (yellow, red), muted (blue, pink).

Color is most often combined with a refrigerator, a dishwasher: for an accurate match, choose products from one company.

Neutral shades are matched to the kitchen set. It is logical to choose white enamel for white furniture: even not built-in one will literally dissolve in the room. Light beige cabinets against the background of a snow-white slab may look dirty, so beige appliances or stainless steel are better for them.

Black models are appropriate in any kitchen, but it is better to combine them with a refrigerator, hood... Stainless steel is also combined with appliances, sinks.

The mismatch of styles is striking no less than the color... In the classic kitchen design, bronze lambs, curly oven windows, a combination of beige and black are appropriate.

Minimalistic design, straight shapes, lack of decor - this is how slabs look for a modern interior. Stainless, like chrome-plated models, with inserts of black metal and glass, touch control - a godsend for high-tech styling in the kitchen.

Important points for small kitchens

When arranging a small kitchen with a red thread, the main goal is traced: preservation of usable area... Although the hearth is the main point of the room, it is better to give preference to a small functional model.

Example: the standard width of the floor slab is 60 cm, but there are models of 45-50 cm. On an area of ​​5-6 sq.m. even 10 cm of kitchen countertop can play a decisive role. If the model is built-in, it is better to give preference to a 2-burner - it is enough for cooking for 2-3 people.

When developing a kitchen design, do not forget about choosing the right place to organize the cooking zone:

• 50 cm from sink... The danger of water ingress and extinguishing fire makes the gas hob and faucet poor close neighbors in the kitchen.
• 60 cm from the window... Burning gas in front of an open window = likelihood of extinguishing or fire. For the same reason, you should not use flying curtains in the kitchen - only special heavy curtains (roll, Roman, jalousie).
• 50 cm from the refrigerator... Cooling and heating elements should not be close to each other - this is unsafe and extremely inconvenient. IN corner headset it is better to spread objects to different sides.
• You cannot move the stove to a corner - the proximity of walls or cabinets is not the most convenient option.

What is important to know about redevelopment?

A gas stove in the interior of the kitchen can be a problem if you plan to make a major renovation with change of layout... The rules described in the decree "On the organization of reorganization and (or) redevelopment of residential and non-residential premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings", they say a strict no to demolition of the wall between the kitchen and the living room or any other room.

To implement the re-planning, one requirement from the same regulation is required: "The presence of a tightly closed door in the gasified room." That is, having created a project that involves the demolition of a wall in the kitchen and the installation of reliable swing or sliding doors in its place, you will most likely be able to get the necessary permission.

Important! IN panel houses almost all internal ceilings are load-bearing, so they cannot be demolished - maximum make a reinforced opening of 80-90 cm with a door.

IN theory in a kitchen with a gas stove, you can install an electric, but the process of abandoning gas and laying cables can become a problem, it will take time and effort.

1. First of all, an application is submitted to the gas service to call the master, who will put a plug on the passing pipe.
2. Next, you will need permission to install the stove from the electric company - for this, a power cable must pass into the apartment (in many houses of old buildings, it will have to be pulled from the transformer box).
3. When the cable is laid, you will no longer have to pay for gas, and the electricity tariff will be lower.
