Want to learn how to monitor your project without freaking out? Check out the COURSE DESIGNING YOUR DREAM: https://planarqcampos.com.br/ The KITCHEN COUNTER can be a great help for you. We can use it in a FITTED KITCHEN, SMALL KITCHEN, ISLAND KITCHEN and CLOSED KITCHEN. It is an element that makes your kitchen more organized, allows for other uses such as receiving guests and makes you gain more space. That's right, it doesn't have to be an AMERICAN KITCHEN to have a counter. However, it is more common to associate this element with a kitchen with a peninsula. In fact, a KITCHEN WITH AN ISLAND has the same characteristics and advantages. Let's look at the advantages of using a kitchen counter, even if it is a COMPACT KITCHEN. The counter can be used to support the kitchen countertop, whether it is a place to rest things, or for work, such as cutting and preparing food. It can also be a place to have more storage if you have a kitchen cabinet. It can be used as a coffee corner, a place to rest appliances, a place for quick meals, a place to receive friends, an element to divide spaces, etc. We can use a counter in a small kitchen, a hallway kitchen. In this case, if the countertop is 60 cm wide, I recommend using 90 cm of circulation space. If it is a dining counter, we can leave it at 40 cm, totaling a kitchen with a minimum width of 1.90 cm. If you still do not have this width, you can use a folding counter, a retractable counter, or a retractable table. This will give you more space in small spaces. You can also have a counter in a gourmet area, whether it is a simpler linear model or even one that forms an L or a U, just like the kitchen. If it is a place that will have a cooktop or sink and another seat in front for guests, we should leave a total width of 1m, and this dining area can have 3 heights, we can have the same height as the counter (90cm), we can have a higher one (1.10m) or it can be lower (75 to 80cm). In the latter case we can use normal chairs, but in the other 2 types, we should use kitchen stools, there are low stools and high stools, keeping an average of 30cm from the seat to the counter, it is good to leave 30cm inside as well so as not to bump your legs. We can also have the dining table against the counter, but if you are going to have seats or stools, consider 60cm for each seat, that is, a 3-seater counter must be at least 1.80m. The counter can be open, serving as a support or even as a support or dining area. We can also have the cooktop with the sink and the seats on the side. In these cases, there is no need to use 1m, just leave the 60cm of the countertop that we mentioned. The kitchen counter can be made of various materials, such as masonry, even concrete or burnt cement countertops. It can be made of metal with a cement board, drywall, a metal structure with a stone covering or a porcelain countertop. It can also be made of stone. If you have a cabinet, be sure to install a plinth. You can have a dish rack and the counter underneath, supporting the gourmet area. You can have carpentry above the counter in a hallway kitchen to store appliances or even a water jug, or you can have a coffee corner. It is also possible to have a semi-integrated kitchen, where we install a folding door or folding window and separate the kitchen from the living room or integrate them when necessary. On the kitchen counter integrated with the living room, we can have the sink or cooktop or even both together. But if it is a cooktop, remember that an island hood will be necessary. The coverings can be the same as the baseboard, or even different coverings, but that are related to the decoration style or color palette you want, it can be porcelain, tiles, stone or even carpentry, painting, bricks, etc. Here are the videos mentioned: CLOSED KITCHEN: • CLOSED KITCHEN IS BETTER THAN A KITCHEN ...
