The layout of kitchens with bay windows can be found both in private estates and in multi-storey buildings. An example is the mass housing development according to the standard project P44T with bay window facades. The construction of houses was launched in 1997 and continues to this day.
The gift of extra meters from the developer is certainly pleasing, but at the same time, a special room requires a non-standard setting . A space teeming with windows and light can be filled with an original sofa. It will be pleasant to spend time with a cup of coffee, enjoying the panoramic view from the window.
Bay window in the kitchen interior
The kitchen is not considered a living space, but this is where we spend a lot of time. In the kitchen, in addition to cooking and eating, you can chat with friends over a cup of tea, retire from a noisy family with a laptop. A bay window or half-window ledge on the facade of a building is an excellent place for a dining and relaxation area.
Advantages of the bay window space:
- availability of additional meters;
- the ability to create an original design of a room with a separate area;
- panoramic view from the window;
- additional windows improve the illumination of the room.
But a non-standard layout has increased requirements for interior design. The area surrounded by windows is not designed for tall furniture, such as cabinets, shelves, shelves, and often remains empty and unclaimed.
A round table surrounded by a bay window sofa is the best way out of the situation to create a dining area.
Dinner Zone
Consider the merits of a bay window sofa, located in the area of the architectural ledge.
- Exclusivity. The custom-made sofa will perfectly follow the shape of the bay window and will be one of a kind, created only for this kitchen.
- Such furniture will contain all the wishes of the customer: shape, upholstery, additional functions.
- The advantage is the increased capacity of semicircular upholstered furniture. A lot of people are seated at the dining table at once.
- The sofa itself, due to its unusual shape, takes up a little space that is difficult to fill with anything else.
- The panoramic windows of the bay window are conducive to pleasant relaxation on the semicircular sofa.
- Sometimes a dining table, stools, armchair, chairs or poufs are ordered in a set, observing a single style.
- By ordering a sofa and a table at the same time, you can best calculate the size of the furniture, calculate the comfortable height, the distance between the table and the seat.
Design
It is difficult to choose upholstered furniture for a specific bay window. An individual order will correct the situation. Of course, it will increase costs (a kitchen corner sofa is cheaper), but it will ideally fit into the semicircle offered by the layout. Structurally, the bay window sofa can be of several types:
- stationary, built-in, which does not imply any changes;
- a transformer with a berth that can easily fold out into an almost full bed;
- modular, consisting of separate sections, always ready to move at the request of the owner: with their help, the number of seats is increased or decreased, while one of the sections can serve as a coffee table or a curbstone bar.
If a dining area is being created, a bay window sofa is formed around a dining table with folding functions. Stationary and modular versions are often supplied with spacious drawers.
Upholstery
The advantages of custom-made furniture include the ability to choose a model and material at the request of the customer. When considering upholstery options, one should not forget that the furniture is planned for use in the kitchen. This means that its surface should consist of materials that are easy to maintain, resistant to household chemicals and non-combustible. It's no secret that there are flammable fabrics. The kitchen needs a material that smolders but does not spread combustion.
There are several more requirements for the appearance of the sofa . You should not choose too easily soiled options, in the kitchen there are always risks of ruining the upholstery. It is better to purchase a product that is easy to pull if the need arises. When choosing a material, you need to take into account the general stylization of the room. For example, if the kitchen is designed in a loft style, a pink sofa with fluffy pillows is best left for romantic rooms.
Traditionally, leather or leatherette is used as furniture upholstery, as well as fabrics with a special repellent impregnation. To keep your expensive products clean, you can order covers. Modern eurocovers look great and are able to flawlessly follow the contour of furniture.
How to choose?
When choosing a bay window sofa, first of all, you should be guided by your taste. It is also necessary to think over the functions that he has to perform: have a sleeping place, roomy drawers or a modular system.
In addition, poufs and chairs are best ordered with a sofa . Over time, there may be problems with matching sheathing material.
Styling the sofa should support the overall setting. If the kitchen is in Provence style, you can use soft cozy fabrics, pillows with ruffles, choose upholstery that matches the surrounding textiles (curtains, tablecloths, napkins). For styles of minimalism, techno and other urban trends, leather or leatherette cover is suitable.
You should pay attention to the quality of the filler - it is better if it is polyurethane foam.
Before ordering furniture, you need to make a careful calculation, if there is no self-confidence, you should entrust the matter to a specialist.
In a house where there are small children or animals, you need to select upholstery fabrics that are resistant to mechanical stress and cleaning using household chemicals.
