There are two types of kitchen corners: L-shaped and U-shaped.
This kitchenette is ideal for a small kitchen and is suitable for most small apartments. L-shaped kitchen corners with storage boxes are the most common. In these corners, the sofa seats rise to provide storage space for kitchen utensils.
U-shaped kitchen corners, such as the one in the photo below, are often large in size, so they are only suitable for large kitchens. Corners of this type provide a complete dining area, but for use in the kitchen, you need to purchase a dining table and several chairs separately.
Traditionally, kitchen corners are made with soft upholstery, but there are also models in a hard version, on which, if desired, soft pillows can be laid. This solution is very convenient, since it allows you to separately wash the pillows when they become dirty.
Depending on the preferences of the owners and the interior of the kitchen, you can purchase a corner with both fabric upholstery and natural or artificial leather upholstery. As for the fabric for upholstery, it is initially impregnated with a special compound that repels dirt and moisture, and makes it easy to clean it with a damp sponge. Upholstery made of leather or its substitute is more durable than fabric, and is easy to clean in case of need. However, leather upholstery is not very comfortable in hot weather, so this factor should be considered when buying.
If you are the owner of an apartment in which the kitchen is of modest size, then especially for such cases, small kitchen corners are produced. This solution allows you to organize a full dining area for three to four people. A kitchen corner for a small kitchen, as in the photo below, will be an excellent and very comfortable solution for Soviet-built one-room apartments, for example, Khrushchevs.
