How to make a kitchen in the hallway and hallway?

Can I transfer?

Despite some difficulties and minor flaws, it is possible to ergonomically combine two dissimilar zones and simulate a convenient and aesthetic layout.

In the case of a gasified kitchen, combining with the corridor will be quite difficult. Considering all safety requirements, a room with gas appliances should be insulated with dense partitions or a door.

Also, open arched and doorways are not allowed. Redevelopment with complete or partial destruction of the wall can be approved only if there is no gasified or residential premises on the ground floor under the combined kitchen. On the top floor above the combined kitchen and corridor space there should not be a bathroom or a bathroom.

Due to the lack of a window, the corridor should be equipped with glass doors or transparent partitions through which daylight will penetrate.

Location of kitchen furniture, appliances and plumbing

A long corridor involves placing kitchen furniture, plumbing and other equipment on one side. Here you can also install a small dining table or a transformer model, which will be displayed only during meals, and when folded it will not take up much space and will not interfere with movement indoors.

In the kitchen-hallway, which has a non-standard shape, they prefer to arrange furniture items with closed facades. Thanks to the internal filling, hidden by sliding or swinging doors, it will be possible to protect the dishes from pollution and achieve a practical design.

The photo shows an example of arranging a spacious kitchen that goes into the corridor.

The optimal solution is a straight or angular set. These models contribute to the organization of a convenient working triangle with a sink, stove and refrigerator.

In the corridor you can make a kitchenette equipped with swing doors. In this version, it looks like an ordinary cabinet.

The niche kitchen is distinguished by excellent functional characteristics. It provides a convenient place for cooking and saves usable space in the hallway.

Proper lighting organization

Above the working surface, it is necessary to equip the backlight and install several sockets next to it for using single lamps and other lamps. With a sufficient amount of lighting with the ability to adjust, the kitchen in the hallway will get a comfortable and cozy look.

The corridor is mainly equipped with suspensions or spotlights, the cooking area is decorated with wall sconces, and in the dining segment there is an elegant chandelier.

The kitchen in the corridor should have uniform lighting, contributing to the expansion of space. In a narrow room, you should not install one central chandelier, as it will visually reduce the room. It is better to arrange the ceiling around the perimeter with the help of spotlights or hang several sconces on the walls.

Hood and other communications

The decisive factor in the redevelopment of the kitchen in the hallway is the need to conduct water to the sink or dishwasher, as well as the installation of sewer outlets for domestic wastewater.

Installation works with water pipes practically do not cause difficulties. Communications are laid under the ceiling and floor or laid pipes in special recesses in the wall plane.

This kitchen area requires the installation of a hood, which will save the room from the appearance of odors during cooking. Proper location of the exhaust duct connected to the ventilation duct will help prevent smoke and excessive humidity in the room.

Kitchen Design Ideas

For zoning the room, you can apply different finishes. The hallway can be decorated with materials in muted colors, and the kitchen space in a brighter and lighter palette. Thus, the room will visually look much more spacious. It is appropriate to lay the surface of the floor in the kitchen with tiles, and in the corridor - with a laminate.

Visually distinguish the space will help a multi-level suspended or suspended ceiling with integrated lighting system.

If there is a dining area, it can be highlighted in a different color. Bright accents distract attention and are perfect for zoning even the smallest room.

It is appropriate to design a spacious kitchen-hall using original textiles, paintings, panels, open shelves with accessories and small kitchen utensils, as well as pick up decorations that will correspond to a specific style decision.

However, you should not overload the situation with a large number of heterogeneous surfaces, colorful prints and others. It is better if the coloring of the interior of the kitchen and the corridor is made in two or three neutral shades.

The kitchen area, located close to the entrance, carries a certain urban atmosphere that affects the selection of furniture and decoration materials. For example, a cladding in the form of masonry or fashionable concrete combined with warm natural wood and ceramics fits perfectly into such an interior. Brutal cladding, complemented by industrial-style lamps and photographs with landscapes of megacities, will create a unique atmosphere in the room.
