Therefore, you have the opportunity to stand out and show that you like non-standard design options.
Main features of kitchen sofas
When choosing suitable model You should definitely pay attention to the upholstery. It may need cleaning often. Therefore, such furniture should be covered with fabric that:
- does not absorb odors;
- washes well, and is not afraid of moisture;
- has high wear resistance.
An excellent example of a material that meets these criteria is jacquard. It is also worth paying attention to micro-velour: it is extremely resistant to stains. But you may prefer leather or leatherette.
Another question that interests many buyers is whether it is worth purchasing folding sofa to the kitchen. The answer to this depends on both the size of the room and how often someone has to spend the night in this room. If you don’t have overnight guests or have a separate guest room, then you don’t need a couch with a sleeping area in the kitchen. On the other hand, perhaps this kind of furniture will unexpectedly come in handy if someone does stay late at your place.
The folding mechanism can be anything, here you should focus on your own preferences. But keep in mind that there are models that, when unfolded, take up a lot of space, for example, roll-out models. Will this type of furniture fit in your kitchen? However, there are exceptions. For example, roll-out models of the “dolphin” type do not require much space for unfolding.
The same can be said about models with a linen drawer. Will you use it? And is it possible to install furniture in such a way that you always have access to the drawer? Is it worth purchasing corner sofas for a kitchen with a sleeping area? As a rule, they are designed for spacious rooms. Therefore, you definitely need to take into account the space that you have at your disposal and how other furniture and household appliances are arranged.
And, of course, the model you choose must fit into the interior. This also applies style solution, and color design.

Narrow straight (not corner) sofas can serve as a reliable seat in cases where it is not possible to seat people at the table on stools or chairs. The sofa can be separated from the rest of the kitchen space by a small decorative partition 1 - 1.5 meters high, thus creating a small seating area in the kitchen.
Miniature kitchens are often not suitable for any purpose other than cooking and storing kitchen utensils. It's rare that you can find room for a table. Here, narrow straight sofas located along the wall can be used as seating.
Sometimes the sofa in the kitchen becomes an indispensable element interior
As a rule, semi-rigid and rigid straight seats, reminiscent of a carriage rack, are appropriate in the kitchen.

- Unlike indoor sofas, several people can sit on kitchen sofas at once. Therefore, kitchen sofas should be without springs, with a reinforced frame and semi-rigid upholstery.
- Kitchen sofas are always folding sofas. Usually they are arranged like a sailor's locker; a variety of kitchen utensils, usually rarely used, are stored in the sofa box.

Narrow sofas for the kitchen with a sleeping place: are they profitable?
A sleeping place in the kitchen today looks like nonsense, since the Soviet habit of hosting out-of-towners or just guests for an overnight stay in an apartment has almost become obsolete. Previously, this was associated with a greater sense of collectivism among people, their trust in other people, as well as a large shortage of hotels and decent premises for accommodation and overnight stays.
Previously, in the apartments of Moscow relatives, any chairs, ottomans, and even just newspapers laid on a soft carpet became a sleeping place.
However, a kitchen sofa can also serve as a folding bed. Moreover, you can even come up with a double sofa. Perhaps this arrangement is appropriate when people in a one-room apartment are used to sleeping separately, in small apartment lives large number person or studio apartment rented, for example, to several students.
There are only a few types:
- Dolphin- exhaust bed, similar to drawers;
- Book– unfolding the seat of the sofa, folded in half lengthwise and fixing it with a special mechanism. At the same time, the sleeping area expands significantly.
- Euro-book– when the bed is pulled out like a “dolphin”, and the back is placed in the vacant space. You rarely see such a mechanism, because the back of the sofa, as a rule, is attached directly to the wall.
You should not abuse the movement of the sofa, because the hinges are weak point any furniture. After all, the kitchen is not a place to sleep.

Where are narrow sofas with a berth located?
There are few options for layout of a kitchen with a sofa. Usually kitchen furniture located against a blank wall, linearly or L-shaped. Among them there is a sink and a stove.
The place of the table is opposite the furniture, preferably by the window. Then the straight sofa is placed directly against the wall and in most cases is attached directly to it. You no longer have to move it around the kitchen. It is necessary that the light from the window falls on the side of the table, and not on the people at the table. Thus, those sitting at the table are illuminated with a combination of natural and artificial light.
Kitchen sofas are almost never upholstered in fabric, only leather, leatherette or, preferably, polymer non-woven material, since a suede or chintz sofa drenched in soup or fatty gravy is best thrown away.
Narrow sofas for the kitchen: overall dimensions
Since the sofa replaces chairs, its height should not exceed 45–50 cm so that people feel comfortable at the table without stretching their legs too much. The width of the seat is also standard, not exceeding 50-60 centimeters, so that you can lean (but not recline) on the back and at the same time, so that the full length of your hips fits on the seat. The length of the sofa depends on the length of the kitchen, and can reach 1 meter. At all, kitchen sofas small, compact, they almost never have pillows or soft armrests.

Kitchen straight sofas usually serve as a place for simultaneous eating, and occasionally as a sleeping place. The design of the sofa is durable, reinforced, and is often made from solid thick wooden fragments, since several people sit on the sofa at the same time. The sofa drawer is spacious enough, and you can even store a large amount of potatoes in it (in the fall and some time after the New Year). By folding out the sofa, you can get a sleeping place, but overnight accommodation for the kitchen is quite rare.

In a cozy small kitchen you can also afford a little luxury - quality materials, thoughtful design, proven logistics. But only a cozy sofa can turn a small Cinderella into a princess. Small sizes modern models allow you to fit it into almost any interior, even on Khrushchev’s nine square meters. Low, high, angular, round or oval - among all the variety of types, a narrow and straight sofa was best able to adapt to the tastes and requirements of discerning owners.
Irrefutable advantages:

SIZE MATTER
Unlike their living room counterparts, kitchen sofas - small sizes. Their main task is to replace chairs, expand functionality dining area, delimit or save space. In any case, the dimensions must fit into the allotted space and leave room for free passage on one or both sides - at least 75-85 cm.
A narrow sofa implies a shallow seat depth. Minimum value, which can be found today - 40 cm, but this is rather an exception to the rule, suitable only for people of graceful build. The standard provides for - from 45. The width of the backrest ranges from 5 to 15 cm, so the general value that you should focus on when creating a dining area is about 60 cm.
Additional features such models - only a storage box - vertical (with a seat lift) or horizontal (with a hinged or sliding system), which is rare.
For sofas that provide a sleeping place, the seat depth is greater, otherwise the retractable structure will not fit. Depending on the folding device: for roll-out ones - from 60, “books” - from 90 cm. It is important to foresee the disassembled size of the sofa before purchasing; in the description of the models it is designated as the width of the product.
The length is determined based on the size of the table, the planned number of seats and the physique of the household. And based on the result obtained, they select the appropriate one furniture showroom model. In stores, the height of the sofa is presented in the description taking into account the backrest. It depends on design solution and can be high or low; in sofa-benches they do without it at all. But the seat height is set for furniture in the dining area according to standards and GOST.
Standard sizes narrow straight sofas for the kitchen (cm):
- length - from 80 to 250;
- seat depth - from 45 to 65;
- width: for withdrawable models - from 65,

The latter indicator depends on the average height of family members and the level of the countertop. The comfort zone between the base and the seat should not go beyond the range of 29-31 cm.
OPPORTUNITIES OF SMALL FORMS
The maximum weight that a kitchen sofa can support is 100 tons. Maria Vatolina created this for her famous monumental project “Kitchens with a Waterfall”. Ordinary sofas are not so powerful, but they can be included in the category of weightlifters - they hold weight up to 200-250 kg.
The structures are durable and relatively light. Materials used: wood, plywood, and, a little less frequently, aluminum due to its high cost. Chipboard and MDF are used, but experts recognize them as short-lived, their service life is 5 years. Metal is also rarely used: products are obtained with increased strength, but are heavy.
Since, first of all, a sofa in the kitchen replaces chairs, its shape in most models corresponds to its purpose: the seat is quite rigid, and the back is thin, almost straight, often attached to the wall for stability. In more comfortable options An analogy arises with chairs in cafes or restaurants. IN expensive models in which a sleeping place is provided, springs or thin latex mattresses can be used.
In the smallest ones, in order to save space, armrests are often not used. And this has its advantage - you can move the table close to it.
Storage areas are made of basic frame materials. Ventilation in most cases is provided from the rear, invisible side.
DOLPHIN, BENCH AND BOOK
In showrooms, narrow sofas for the kitchen are usually presented according to the price scale and equipment categories:
- simple non-removable (with and without backrest);
- non-dismountable with storage boxes;
- sofa bed (with sleeping place).
There can be a backrest in any of the positions different sizes or without it.
The sofa bench (without back) is a lightweight design compared to others. A subspecies of bench, hence the name. Some models provide a storage box, which can be either large - from the floor to the base of the seat, or small - 10-15 cm and placed directly under the seat. In extremely rare cases, a soft bench is equipped with a sleeping place.
With storage box. Most kitchen sofas have a storage area. Often, drawers are opened by lifting the seat and have a position lock in open form. Designed for frequent use so that you don’t have to move the table lifting mechanisms located on the side. Internal dimensions the drawer is 3-5 cm smaller than the overall dimensions of the bottom of the sofa. Available in both simple and folding models.
Narrow sofas are able to open their folding structures and provide additional sleeping space in the apartment. It is not intended for constant use, so the mechanisms cannot withstand constant load. And the bed itself is not very comfortable, but it is quite suitable for rare guests.
There are several folding principles. The most popular:
- Dolphin (Kangaroo) - an exhaust sleeping place, like a closet drawer. Closer springs are considered a sign of the quality of this system.
- Book - when assembled, the seat represents double folded forms for the bed; by pulling one of them out, a single plane is formed sleeping place, which is fixed in height by a special mechanism. Like Dolphin, it is a guest option.
- French folding bed - ideal for entertaining guests in a small kitchen. It unfolds along its length, like a regular folding bed. Since the back is not involved in the transformation, its shape and design distinguishes the models of this system from others. The analogue is suitable for regular use French folding bed– Sedaflex, but the price is much higher.
- Eurobook is an exhaust seat using profiles (more durable) or rollers, like the Dolphin, on which the back of the sofa is placed. The most reliable stock, suitable for frequent use. Varieties of Eurobooks: Click-clack, Relax and Tick-tock.
Style ensemble of the room
In order to replace chairs, direct kitchen sofa you'll have to push yourself a little. Need to fit in style ensemble room, match the color scheme of the table. IN ideal, have the same upholstery with the dining room set, the same texture wooden parts or coating of metal elements. Making a sofa the accent of the kitchen composition is one thing good decisions, you will only need color support for a few other items.
The dimensions of the sofa depend on the area of the room and the space allocated for the dining area. The proportions of the setting are also taken into account. A massive set, for example, will accept upholstered furniture with a high back and a powerful base. A single-tier or lightweight kitchen, on the contrary, will require an airy structure.
The straight shape allows you to place the sofa in any convenient location, and rearrange if desired. The iron rule of the eating area is sunlight should fall on the table, but not blind people, so it is better to place the sofa with its back to the window or opposite kitchen set against the wall next to the window.
ORDERED TO SURVIVE
For a soft nature, the situation in the kitchen is tense, the climate is harsh. Wooden frame and exposed parts mandatory must be processed protective composition, otherwise the sofa will not last long. Constant changes in temperature and humidity will cause cracks and swelling and you won’t have to count on the strength of the structure, not to mention appearance products. In close proximity to work area Aluminum structures perform incomparably better.
