Full update the kitchen and the adjacent corridor
The objective of the upcoming repairs would make maximum use of space and make it more spacious and comfortable. The disposal was worth about $ 3 million. It planned to carry gas pipe, but the cost and procedure for the procedure made adjustments in our plans, and we had to abandon that idea. Kitchen corridor continues to hallway, adjacent to the toilet. We do decide to upgrade at the same time with this passage.
Condition of the room before renovation
The most dirty and noisy work was at the beginning of repair - remove old tile, the ceiling and walls of wallpaper, linoleum, and tear off the plinth. At the end of the corridor was a built-in wardrobe, it was dismantled, leaving a gap into which moved the refrigerator.
Laying tiles
By the choice of color, texture and type of tiles there were several requirements:
- mosaic pattern
- Not easily soiled color - white ruled
- Good quality and low price
- Compatibility with a palette of other surfaces of the room and furniture
Mosaic found, and the choice was great, but the way and the cost of laying tiles, we did not come.
Available tile design turned out to be a collection of Glass Opalo size 25x50 convenient in installation, with almost the same pattern - small squares, imitating a mosaic. The cost was more than pleasant, and manufacturer Stn Ceramica Spain.
Wallpaper for the ceiling and walls
Planned in shades of cherry, or with the addition of burgundy, scarlet, bright wallpaper. But there was no sale of vending motives - choose a neutral color, resistant to pollution coverage.
Wallpapers Sanita Ramses vinyl, resistant to fading, they can be washed and glued them wonderfully. All who see the wallpaper for the first time, think it's artificial stone masonry. On the ceiling, too, vinyl, but different shades wallpaper, look great and do not fade. On the wall would be better to take the pink color, as would be desirable.
Flooring
From this room and began our friendship with Tarkett company.
We chose an excellent series of linoleum Force Sorbona, and later in other rooms, too, his stele.
The color chosen for the kitchen tile and countertop, dark brown, simulating structural laminate.
The ceiling and lighting
We left the central chandelier lighting and perimeter trunking made of spotlights.
For each device a switch in the corridor 2 lamp included separately, illuminating only the area near the refrigerator.
Additionally installed near a wall wash lamp handy design - with gallery. The hood has two lamps and in the end, if you turn it all together at once - as bright as day.
Ventilation
Remove the vent duct happened above the cabinet above the sink, and it is absolutely not visible today. Hood made exactly there, where there was a ventilation hole in the wall.
Because of this also had to leave the stove in the place where it was originally.
