Modern architecture offers new house layouts that can satisfy the need for comfort of any person. The P44T project provides for different forms of bay windows, due to which additional space appears in the kitchen. Properly furnishing such a room is a difficult task, but the appropriate style will help highlight all the advantages. How to divide the kitchen space and focus on the unusual shape? What to consider when choosing a design?

Advantages and disadvantages

Each innovation in construction has its own characteristics. Despite the variety of shapes, the properties of bay windows are practically the same. The main advantages include the following:

• additional expansion of space - the area of ​​the room is at least 13 square meters;
• the ability to implement individual and creative design;
• separation of zones of different functionality or combination of a bay window and the nearest room;
• The presence of large windows allows you to make maximum use of natural light and significantly save on energy costs.

But there are also disadvantages to a bay window kitchen, which include the following:

• due to the large number of windows, heat loss increases, accordingly the amount of payment for utilities increases and there is a need for additional costs for thermal insulation of the room;
• a large glass area causes discomfort and a feeling of lack of privacy protection;
• a communication box complicates design development.

The main problems can be solved. For example, thick curtains or special coating on the windows hide the interior space from the views of strangers.

Kitchen layout with bay window P44T

A special shape in the form of a trapezoid, semicircle or triangle complicates the arrangement of the room. It is necessary to first determine the purpose of the protruding part of the facade. The bay window is mainly used as a dining area or for relaxation.

Dinner Zone

The most optimal option that allows you to get a high-quality interior and save money. There is no need to transfer communications, which takes a lot of time and forces you to increase installation and installation costs. There is also room in the kitchen for a sofa, bar counter and other furniture at the request of the apartment owner.

Main interior features:

1. The table is selected in accordance with the shape of the ledge, preferably with the possibility of transformation, which leaves a lot of space and does not interfere with the approach to the windows.
2. When choosing furniture, preference should be given to models with additional functionality.
3. In order to highlight different zones in one room, when decorating the ceiling, you need to focus on the lines of the bay window.
4. To increase comfort during long stays in the kitchen, you should consider heating or insulating the floors and windows. Family members will especially appreciate such forethought in winter.

Note! For a triangle-shaped ledge, it is better to purchase a round table for eating. It allows you to divert attention from the unconventional layout of the room.

Work zone

If there is no beautiful landscape outside the windows or the apartment is located on the 1-2 floor in a protruding plane, you will have to create a work area. This solution has its advantages:

• the tabletop is illuminated as much as possible during the day, which reduces the number of artificial lamps;
• during the cooking process you can see what is happening on the street;
• availability of large space for family gatherings and parties.

Before starting repairs, it is necessary to consider the installation of furniture and take into account the inevitable complications:

1. The budget allocated for the arrangement should include the costs of relocating communications.
2. You must first submit a draft of the future interior to the authorized body for approval.
3. The floor level should be raised, which will reduce the height of the room.
4. Furniture, especially kitchen units, are made to order to prevent installation problems.
5. The installation of hoods on the ceiling is carried out with significant difficulties.
6. The need to constantly clean the stove and work surface from dirt due to placement near a window.
7. The appearance of mold caused by lack of access to radiators that are covered by furniture.

In order to prevent problems, experts recommend installing a worktop instead of a window sill and cutting special holes in it. To improve air circulation, barely noticeable slits are cut on the back wall of built-in furniture. For those who love bold solutions, combining a work surface with a dining surface is perfect.

It is better to place the stove and sink at some distance from the bay windows, since the glass will fog up when placed close. In a situation where a decision is made to leave the sink near the window, a pull-out type faucet is selected for it, which can be lowered down. To protect the window, it is recommended to purchase a special screen. If necessary, it is raised or lowered.

An important issue is the choice of lighting, which is complicated by the lack of wall cabinets. The problem is solved by using spots that need to be built into the cornice, or ceiling lamps on long holders.

Features of organizing space

All kitchens in houses of the P-44 series, as mentioned above, have one design feature: there is a ventilation duct right at the front door. It protrudes forward, takes up useful space and interferes with the organization of the work triangle area. If there was a refrigerator instead, then planning the kitchen layout would be a piece of cake. A similar problem is solved simultaneously with the search for a place for the largest object - the refrigerator. Designers offer three options:

• Place the refrigerator in a corner near the window, so that there is a gap of 10 centimeters to the wall. It will allow you to fully open the door and place curtains in the gap, if the project provides for their presence.
• Place the refrigerator next to the box. Together they form a deep niche into which the sink fits well. This arrangement breaks the rule of the work triangle, but it allows you to organize a complex space.
• Place the refrigerator next to the box, install a tall pencil case against the wall of the refrigerator, and cover both items with plasterboard. The kitchen set will have to be moved towards the window and turned around, using the window sill. If you expand it, you get a full-fledged work area that can accommodate a sink.

Attention! If the kitchen area is 10.1 sq. meters, then the refrigerator is installed next to the door (if you look at it, then on the left side). The sink moves to the corner of the wall, and between the box and the sink there is space for a narrow dishwasher. The free box becomes part of the kitchen unit. To combine two objects, designers recommend installing narrow open shelves on the box, or sections with facades that duplicate the facades of the set. According to the regulations, it is allowed to place a microwave or hang a TV on the ventilation duct. The equipment is mounted on special brackets.

Styles

When decorating a kitchen with a protruding part, subject to a number of conditions, you can use any design: from traditional to shocking modern.

Classic

This style looks quite appropriate in a bay window type room. Be sure to have a niche in the ceiling above the dining table and finish with antique molding. Calm shades with a complete absence of bright details are used. It is better to choose wood as a material for cabinets. The rest of the furniture is selected in light, preferably pastel colors.

Modern

A rather complex design that involves the use of various textures. The materials must be combined with each other and create a complete picture. Furniture is characterized by smooth outlines and asymmetry.

High tech

The style is not entirely appropriate for an area with a ledge. The correct lines of furniture do not fit well with the layout of the room. But the emphasis on built-in household appliances and the combination of glass and metal distract attention from the disharmony of lines. A space-style central chandelier in the dining area will look unusual and bold. Contrasting chairs will enhance the impression.

Provence

One of the best options, since the style is based on natural lighting, which coincides with the concept of a bay window. White and green colors with all sorts of shades are used for decoration. It is recommended to replace textile curtains with Roman ones, ideally with wooden blinds. A wooden grid is used instead of glass in cabinets for storing dishes.

A dining table with cracks will look noble. Curtains with a floral print, which is repeated in the upholstery of the sofa and on the furniture doors, will highlight the room and show the artistic taste of the owner.

Tips for arranging a kitchen with a P44T bay window

Regardless of the design chosen, furniture and other furnishings should have a shape similar to the ledge. The set is placed in the form of the letter L or in two rows. The U-shaped configuration is used if the bay window is a working area. The table is complemented by a small soft sofa equipped with storage niches. The design is made of blocks, the upholstery is made of materials that can be washed if necessary, for example, leather.

The choice of countertop plays an important role. If funds allow, it is advisable to combine it with a window sill or even replace it with a 1.2 m high bar counter. For curtains, only light shades are used; it is preferable to take light curtains or blinds that create an airy atmosphere in the room. Curtain rods are selected according to the desired design. For a classic interior, aluminum ones are suitable, which can also be hidden behind lambrequins. Modern options require the use of string cornices, but they are intended exclusively for tulle.

When choosing lamps, you should choose an option in which every corner of the room will be well illuminated. It is enough to use pendant lamps above the dining table; sconces with the ability to move are convenient in the work area. It is necessary to think in advance about ways to connect additional sources and adjust their intensity.

The presence of a bay window in an apartment opens up great opportunities for arranging a kitchen, but requires a special approach. Careful thought out of the interior, taking into account all the nuances, turns the room into a cozy place both for cooking and for communicating with household members.

Functional areas

A kitchen without functional areas turns into something unorganized and uncomfortable. Therefore, the bay window can be used in different ways:

• be part of the design;
• completely merge with other elements;
• be a separate, stand-out element.

In the latter case, you can install the sofa in the protruding part. Moreover, now you can find options designed directly for bay windows. Otherwise, you can order from the workshop according to individual requirements.

You can install a table next to the sofa and complement it with comfortable chairs. In general, you can even make an office area in the protruding part of the room.

In other cases, a work area can be built from the bay window area, where a sink and countertop for cooking can be placed. The P 44 series kitchen allows you to install everything you need quite conveniently, including a functional set.

Recommendations

The P 44 series is characterized by a bay window that has a trapezoidal shape. This layout complicates the design, but here are some tips from professionals:

• The bay window space should not be forced. Even an installed sink and other similar elements can worsen the impression of having such an element in the kitchen. This also applies to the sofa, which can visually make the room smaller.
• It is recommended to choose the filling of the bay window area taking into account the shape of this element. If it is trapezoidal, then you can use a rectangular table, the comfort of which will be complemented by light textiles on the nearby windows.
• When decorating your kitchen, you should choose materials in light colors. For the bay window itself, it is better to choose colors that are a tone lighter than the shades of the other elements. You can also use contrasting colors.
• To decorate a bay window, you cannot use heavy curtains that block the sunlight from the window. Light long curtains will do. Instead of textiles, you can even choose blinds, which look stylish on the windows and are very convenient to use.
