Let's figure out how to inexpensively buy a high-quality kitchen, ready-made or to order, and not overpay - the secrets of an inexpensive kitchen from the pros. Regular expert website interior designer Yanina Krasnova told us what options you can save on without compromising the quality and convenience of the kitchen. Choose those that are right for you.

Compare prices correctly

• Calculate the cost of your future kitchen from several companies. An important point: comparing prices only makes sense when you have a clear vision in your head and a project in your hands kitchen set with dimensions and a list of materials and accessories (professionals call it a specification).
  Different manufacturers use different materials. To really find inexpensive option headset, compare prices for specific materials and items.
  One company quoted you a very low price, but three other competitors have a much higher price? It is quite possible that an unscrupulous manufacturer simply uses cheap low quality materials. Take an interest in the brand of MDF, chipboard, plastic and other elements of the headset and ask the seller for safety certificates for them.

Discounts, promotions and sales

• High quality and beautiful kitchen You can buy it very inexpensively at the sale of exhibition samples in furniture showrooms. On the websites of major manufacturers kitchen furniture There is usually a special section where headsets are presented that can be purchased at a special price. Sometimes the discount can reach 60-70%. Often, ready-made sets are sold together with built-in appliances, fittings, hoods, countertops, sinks and mixers.
  Example: at the time of publication of the article, a Mix22 kitchen from the Maria factory with a length of 2144 mm with Beko and Elikor appliances, a Franke sink, a plastic countertop with a starting price of 236 thousand rubles could be purchased with a 45% discount for 130 thousand rubles.
• You can purchase an inexpensive kitchen from the stand at furniture exhibitions(in Moscow they are regularly held at the Expo Center and Crocus Expo) The main thing is to have time to book the set you like.
• Kitchen sellers often offer promotions and discounts. But be careful: sometimes special prices turn out to be just marketing ploys. For example, a discount on a countertop can only apply if you order a turnkey kitchen from the showroom along with all appliances and accessories.

We buy the headset in parts

• A good way to get a good and inexpensive kitchen is to take a ready-made cabinet of the required dimensions, for example, in, and order the facades separately. Some companies specialize specifically in the manufacture of facades, and they work not only in Moscow and the region, but also deliver throughout Russia.
• Another option is to order inexpensive cabinet bodies from a small furniture factory or private owner, and choose more expensive facades from a specialized company or the same IKEA.

Which cabinets are cheaper?

The main rule is what simpler design kitchen modules, the cheaper the kitchen.

Inexpensive kitchen = standard?

• As a rule, yes. If you want to spend less, you will have to limit yourself to standard sizes of modules and facades. Almost any manufacturer can make a kitchen according to your needs custom sizes. But most furniture companies, especially large factories, in this case they will take an additional payment for non-standard (usually 25-30%). Some private manufacturers do not add a markup. But depending on your luck, problems may arise with the quality of work and materials, warranty and deadlines.

Facades

• The most inexpensive facades are smooth, solid, without milling. If you are counting on an economy class kitchen, you will have to abandon radius (curved) and paneled (frame) doors.
• Budget option - models with facades made of laminated chipboard. But even the most inexpensive MDF kitchens are much stronger, more environmentally friendly and last much longer. Ask a consultant to calculate your headset in both options. It is likely that the difference will be very small.
• Combine budget materials with more expensive ones. For example, the facades of the lower cabinets can be ordered from chipboard in plastic or MDF in PVC film, and the upper cabinets can be ordered from higher quality and more effective MDF with “high gloss” enamel. A great way to make an inexpensive kitchen more respectable and more expensive.
• If you need an inexpensive glossy kitchen, pay attention to sets with facades covered with glossy PVC film. Of course, they will not give such a mirror shine as acrylic enamel. But MDF with film costs 25-40 percent cheaper than plastic and 40-60 percent cheaper than painted ones.
• If your budget for buying a kitchen is limited, and you have always dreamed of a set made of solid wood, take a closer look at the facades made of MDF with natural wood veneer. By appearance it is almost impossible to distinguish them from wooden ones, and the price is noticeably lower.
• Kitchens in the Art Nouveau style with smooth, laconic facades are much cheaper than classics with intricate milling, complex finishes, grilles and stained glass inserts.
• In inexpensive kitchen projects, designers try to do without glass facades or use them to a minimum. Clear glass cheaper than matte or painted (lakobel), but translucent doors look better - the appearance of the cabinets’ contents will not create a feeling of clutter.

How to save money on accessories wisely?

When ordering a headset, a significant part of the budget is consumed by the filling. Is it possible to save money on it without compromising the convenience of the kitchen?

• When planning your kitchen, consider which cabinets you will use most often. It is on them that you should install the highest quality, reliable and convenient fittings, and on the rest you can save a little.

Tip: It is better to invest in lower cabinets to make them as spacious and comfortable as possible.

• Expensive guides (metaboxes and tandemboxes) can be placed on a couple of the heaviest, deepest and most popular drawers, for example, for pots, pans and groceries. For the rest, you can get by with inexpensive but fairly reliable roller guides.
• A similar approach works well with lifts for horizontal folding facades. Place a good Aventos lift from Blum on the cabinet that you use most often, and for other doors you can buy simpler and cheaper fittings (the same gas lifts).
• Pay attention to what kind of handles the designer offers you in the salon. It is quite possible that you can save a lot of money by purchasing better quality pens yourself.
• If Italian or German pens don’t fit into your budget, take Polish or Russian ones, but always with a galvanic coating. The most inexpensive Chinese ones quickly scratch, fade and lose their appearance.

The Aventos mechanism is often placed on a cabinet with a dish drainer

Case finishing

• The laminated chipboard from which the kitchen cabinet is made may also differ in price. For some manufacturers, the most popular decors are cheaper and are available in warehouse positions. Other options may be more expensive and are often available only on order.

Which countertop is cheaper?

• The most popular option for middle and economy class kitchens is a laminated countertop. plastic chipboard. The price is affected not only by the quality of the finish, but also by the thickness of the base. The most inexpensive option is made from ordinary chipboard with a thickness of 26 mm. A tabletop made of moisture-resistant chipboard 38 mm thick will cost about twice as much.
• Kitchen modules from which inexpensive ready-made kitchens are assembled often do not have a common countertop. Each module has its own. The option is budget, but not very practical. There will be micro-cracks between the cabinets that allow dirt and moisture to get into them; they are more difficult to care for, and the furniture will quickly become unusable.

How to save money on built-in appliances?

• Kitchen showrooms often offer to order a turnkey set - along with built-in household appliances. Its prices are usually higher than in online stores (sometimes the difference can reach 30-40%), and you will most likely have to pay extra for its installation. Perhaps you should just buy the equipment separately? Yes, but there may be nuances here. Example: if you refuse to buy equipment in a showroom, the seller may make an additional markup on cabinets and facades, especially if you chose non-standard modules, or increase the cost of assembling the set.
• If you cook a little and often ventilate the kitchen, you can do without a hood. This way you can save not only on the purchase of the device, but also on a special cabinet for it. However, keep in mind: over time, plaque will still appear on the furniture, and the body and facades wall cabinets may be damaged by exposure to hot steam.
• Household appliances of reduced dimensions save space, but not the budget. If the kitchen area allows, buy standard-sized appliances. As with cabinets, the price for custom models is higher.

Is it worth saving on assembling a headset?

• Collector services often have to be paid additionally. The usual rate is 10% of the cost of the headset. For inexpensive kitchens in Moscow you can find assemblers who charge a fixed amount or quote a price per linear meter. Theoretically, you can save money and assemble the kitchen yourself. But keep in mind: many manufacturers provide a guarantee for furniture only if the set was assembled by their specialists or officially certified craftsmen.

Let's look at a few of the most popular options:

Due to its massiveness, it looks best in spacious rooms with large windows And high ceilings. Distinctive features– wood color, carved elements, stained glass.

A modern kitchen allows you to create a space that meets the individual requirements of the owner. Before you start searching for the right kitchen unit, consider a few important questions:

• Does the premises need? If yes, then it must end before purchasing a kitchen set.
• Consider in detail the configuration and dimensions of future furniture, which should not occupy more than 20% of the room area.
• What appliances (including built-in and small household appliances) do you need and where will they be placed? Do I need to move pipes and sockets?
• How much space do you need to store dishes, food, and household supplies? Think about how you can functionally use the available space through corner cabinets, pull-out units, additional shelves, and additional mesh baskets.
• Consider where the dining area will be located and what furniture will be suitable for it. If space allows, you can put a large one round table and stationary chairs. In a small kitchen you can use a folding or extendable table, a bar counter, and stylish folding chairs.
• Are there any non-standard corners, ledges, or niches in the kitchen? How are you going to use them?

Once the budget has been calculated and general wishes for the future kitchen have been determined, you can move on to a detailed elaboration of the layout and selection of materials.

Features of the kitchen layout

The L-shaped layout is convenient for the functional division of the kitchen space, maintaining the possibility of free movement and simultaneous placement of two cooks in the working triangle (storage area, washing area, cooking area).

This classic version for rooms whose shape is close to a square. You can make optimal use of hard-to-reach areas in corner cabinets using pull-out multi-level systems.

Remont-volot.ru

Suitable for rooms of sufficient size, square or rectangular in shape, where it is necessary to place a large number of storage systems and kitchen appliances.

For comfortable operation, the optimal length of parallel kitchen lines should be at least one and a half and no more than two meters, and the connecting area between them should exceed 2.5 meters.

mebelfeo.ru

Ideal for narrow spaces less than two meters wide and with total area 6–12 square meters. For effective use The space under the countertop of the kitchen unit can accommodate built-in appliances, pull-out systems for dishes, and upper cabinets for dishes.

For dogs or cats, order a special feeder that extends from the lower base of the headset.

It is best to arrange objects in this order: refrigerator, work table, sink, second work table and stove. In small kitchens, a folding dining table is mounted on the opposite wall, thereby freeing up useful space.

foradesign.ru

This layout can be considered for rooms with an area of ​​at least 20 square meters. In traditional island kitchens, a table with a sink or stove is placed in the middle, and in peninsular kitchens there is a bar counter in the center. But, of course, each owner decides for himself what functions to give to his island or peninsula.

The optimal size of a free-standing work area is a square with a side of 120 cm. The standard length of a peninsula is 120–180 cm. Usually these are two or three kitchen modules with a width of 60 cm.

foradesign.ru

This is the only way to use an elongated room as efficiently as possible. Suitable for kitchens with an area of ​​at least 9 square meters and a width of at least 2.5 meters. After installing the kitchen unit, the width of the passage should not be less than 120 cm.

If you're tired of handles, choose the Push to open system. The doors will respond to light touches and open silently and smoothly.

A convenient option is to place the stove and sink on one side of the kitchen, and the refrigerator on the opposite side. Or, for example, you can install a refrigerator with a sink on the left wall, and a stove with a cutting table on the right wall.

The only drawback of the two-row layout is the lack of a clearly defined dining area.

How to choose material for a kitchen set

Kitchen body and facade

The most popular and budget materials For the kitchen today there are MDF (fine fraction) and chipboard (chipboard). Both options allow you to produce a high-quality product that meets environmental standards.

A special seal for the plinth will prevent moisture and dust from getting under the kitchen furniture. It can be ordered together with the headset or purchased separately.

And yet, for facades and cases it is recommended to use MDF, which can be covered with plastic, veneer, enamel, acrylic or PVC film. This material is relatively inexpensive, its structure is as similar as possible to natural wood. And due to various impregnations and components, MDF has properties that are important for aggressive kitchen environments: good resistance to fungi and moisture resistance, excellent tolerance to high temperatures.

By the way, about temperatures. Be sure to leave 2.5 cm gaps between the stove (does not apply to built-in appliances, which are equipped with a special cooling system) and adjacent kitchen modules. This will improve ventilation and protect the headset. The resulting gap can be closed with special pads.

kuhni-anons.ru

Glossy facades look very impressive, but quickly become covered with fingerprints and require daily care. Give preference to matte surfaces.

If you have chosen a kitchen with non-standard or expensive facades, then when receiving your order, play it safe and be sure to check their quantity, size and curvature. Even if company representatives assure that everything is in perfect order. After you sign the documents confirming receipt of the kitchen, it will be difficult to prove the existence of a defect.

Tabletop

For work surfaces it is better to choose a tabletop 6–10 cm thick, and for dining tables 4 cm is enough.

Remember that the load on the tabletop should not exceed 23 kg.

Most practical material will become an artificial stone. It is much lighter and more economical than natural analogues, but no less durable. Artificial stone allows you to imitate any type of rock and create smooth countertops of a wide variety of shapes without visible joints or seams.

Kitchen apron

The apron protects the walls of the work area from moisture, splashes of grease, burning and other types of pollution. The average height of the apron is 48–60 cm. Ideal material In terms of price, quality and durability, ceramics will serve you for several decades.

If your budget is limited, you can buy an inexpensive kitchen set in pastel colors, and choose the most effective premium apron as a design accent. It will add zest to the interior.

How to rationally use kitchen space

The most appropriate option for the kitchen is a spacious wall cabinet with a folding door that opens upward. In this model you can place a dryer, shelves for storing food and dishes.

If the kitchen has interior partitions made of plasterboard, they are unlikely to support the weight of the cabinets. But the roof rails with hooks, mesh shelves, holders for glasses and paper towels are fine.

moikiasd.ru

Use drawers and baskets that can be equipped with a thoughtful system of accessories for neat storage of small items.

An excellent solution is corner drawers that run diagonally to the far corner of the wall. They hold three times more items than regular boxes due to their unique design.

kdm24.ru

Your set will last much longer if the table drawers are made using metaboxes (metal sides). Chipboard boxes will quickly deteriorate due to moisture and the heaviness of the dishes.

Install in corner cabinet systems with a carousel - shelves that rotate around a rigidly fixed vertical rod. It will save usable area and will greatly facilitate storing dishes in hard-to-reach places.

• A standard kitchen, not made to order, is 25–30% cheaper.
• Carefully calculate the width of the cabinets you need. For example, a kitchen module 80 cm wide will be 5–10% cheaper than two 40 cm cabinets. Use free interactive programs to create a kitchen design and calculate the cost of furniture.

• Lockers standard height 60 cm is 10–20% cheaper than modules with a height of 72 or 92 cm.

• When purchasing a kitchen, request a sales receipt and keep it for the entire warranty period (usually two years).
• The contract must indicate the timing of furniture production and the amount of penalties in case of delay.
• Conclude a separate legal document for the installation and installation of kitchen units in order to be able to hold the company (store) accountable. Be sure to check whether the installation price includes connecting a sink, mixer, or hood. Ask if the company has service department to fulfill warranty and post-warranty obligations.
• If the company (shop) hires individuals, find out who will bear warranty obligations if the assembler does not communicate or damage was caused during the installation of the kitchen (for example, neighbors were flooded due to a burst pipe).

Are you satisfied with everything? Then congratulations in advance on purchasing a new one that will serve you for many years!

The kitchen is an important part of any apartment, so its choice should be taken especially seriously. How to choose a high-quality and durable version of kitchen furniture and necessary elements? On modern market You can find both ready-made kitchens that are immediately installed in any apartment, and companies that carry out orders according to individual measurements. That is why, to make your search easier, you can make a rating of factories and manufacturers that are ready to fulfill all the client’s wishes, as well as provide reviews to form a more detailed opinion about each company.

Before choosing a manufacturer that will satisfy all the necessary requirements, you need to decide on several criteria. In the future, they will help you not to get lost in searching for a suitable company:

1. Budget. A full-fledged kitchen is not a cheap pleasure, but you can always choose an option that will satisfy any budget. A clearly calculated budget will be an excellent help and will save you from complications later.
2. Type. You can purchase a ready-made kitchen, versions of which are always presented in stores and factories. This will help save time, since transportation and installation of all components usually does not take more than a week. The second option is making a custom kitchen. To do this, you only need to provide the manufacturer with the dimensions and parameters of the apartment where it will be installed. It may be more expensive and take longer, but the result will fully satisfy the customer's personal expectations.
3. Material. Wood, metal, plastic - another item that depends on the budget and individual wishes, but directly affects the final choice.
4. Country of origin. Russia and the CIS countries are increasingly becoming the choice of clients, as they inspire more trust and are often lower in cost. But foreign companies (Germany, Italy, etc.) are also known for the quality of their products.
