Unfortunately, our apartments rarely boast large areas. And for some unknown reason, kitchens are the cramped ones. Although in this room, as a rule, they not only cook, but also eat. That is, in fact, this is both a kitchen and a dining room. And all this takes place in a very small area. Owners of nine squares are considered almost lucky: there are much smaller rooms. But renovating a 9 sq. m kitchen is a difficult task: you have to select and decorate two zones: the work zone for cooking, and the dining room.
Repair stages
At first, renovating a 9 sq. m kitchen is not much different from similar rooms of other sizes. The general work plan looks like this:
It is highly desirable to end up with smooth floors, walls and ceilings. Walls, in principle, are possible. So if you're on a budget, focus on leveling your floor.
If you want something original, but the budget is more or less, pay attention to. If you don’t like the idea of a photo on the floor, a perfectly flat surface with a metallic effect or some other solution may be suitable. This is a good replacement for tiles: there are no seams, and the moisture-proofing properties are high. In any case, the choice of type finishing materials- After you. And not only gender, but also everyone else.
Self-leveling floors in the kitchen - they look good and are also functional
An integral part of kitchen renovation 9 sq. meters is the choice of color design. This room cannot be classified as spacious, therefore, for visual perception it will be better if the shades are light. If you are leaning towards white and its shades, you can make both the walls and the ceiling the same color. This visually makes the kitchen more spacious and will also allow you to choose brighter furniture. In this case, it can be green, red, blue. This is already a matter of preference.
The walls, floor and ceiling are light. You can choose bright furniture
Furniture arrangement
The most important part of a kitchen renovation is choosing the layout and type of furniture. If uneven walls and ceilings only look “not very good,” then poorly selected furniture causes real inconvenience. Because of them, the housewife is more tired and the rest of the family members feel uncomfortable. Such “little things” as unrounded corners lead to the fact that bruises are constantly found on family members; an unsuccessful way to open doors - to bumps, etc. Therefore, take this point seriously. That's it, for now let's describe it in general terms.
The kitchen, with an area of 9 square meters, is medium in size: no longer small, but not yet large. This explains the basics of the layout: you have to give preference to either a larger work area or make a larger dining area. Here you choose for yourself.
Kitchen set on an area of 9 sq. meters can be made of four types:
Other methods of location in such an area are unsuitable. But these types also provide a lot of options, an almost endless number.
Kitchen renovation 9 sq m: photo examples
Nothing helps you develop your own design more than seeing interiors. There are many interesting ideas, which have already been implemented, and in the same areas.
Orange-beige kitchen
The renovation was done in the kitchen of a standard house: P-43 series, the kitchen is slightly less than 9 square meters. It was decided to create a work area along the same wall; we simply moved the stove and sink.
Layout of the apartment, and the kitchen in which we are renovating...almost 9 sq. m.
The budget was “not very good”, so we tried to find things of decent quality at a low price. We managed to save money on furniture: we just ordered cabinets, without assembly, fittings, countertops, sinks, taps and most of the filling. All this can be purchased separately, at prices much lower than those offered in furniture companies. Installing all this “equipment” is not too difficult; if you have direct hands, it turns out no worse.
The ceiling was leveled normally earlier; it was simply painted with fresh water-based emulsion. The choice of building materials began with tiles for the kitchen backsplash (found at OBI). The doors of the kitchen unit below will be orange, because bright colors expelled immediately. We settled on white and orange, several on white decorative tiles. They successfully featured beige tones, which almost exactly match the color of the wall cabinet doors.
The photo below shows how it was all put together.
For the walls there, at OBI, they chose light beige wallpaper: vinyl on non-woven fabric. In the next department we found a chandelier that we found attractive. We also bought spotlights there.
In the same store we looked at laminate flooring. Almost the most expensive in terms of price, but a cheap one simply won’t work in the kitchen.
We brought our façade. We ordered without assembly - to save money. It was neatly packed in cardboard. We started assembling.
Sink, faucet, countertop, purchased at LEROY. At home, all this is collected into a single whole. Read how to change a faucet in the kitchen.
Only roller blinds are suitable for our design. It was bought at IKEA. We had to fiddle around with the table and chairs, but they ended up buying them there too. I really like them in terms of design, and in terms of color, I really like them. There was nothing better at that time.
Curtain - roller, table and chairs - light
There are little things left - filling the cabinets. We found this by browsing through stores that sell furniture fittings.
Everything turned out relatively inexpensively. This is of course not designer renovation, but quite decent.
Interesting renovation ideas for a 9 sq m kitchen
There are several techniques that can be used if conditions permit. The layout is different for everyone, as is the thickness of the walls. And these are often the determining conditions.
Kitchen with balcony
On the one hand, a balcony in the kitchen is great: you can adapt it to your needs. Previously, there was a cupboard in which some supplies were stored. With this option, the balcony causes inconvenience: the kitchen turns out to be a walk-through, which takes up a lot of space. In this case, the kitchen is mainly of a linear type, standing along the longest wall. On the contrary, approximately in the middle, a table is placed, most often rectangular in shape. Unfold it with the long side along the wall. In some layouts this is the only possible option.
Today there is a radical solution: the balcony is insulated, the doors and window unit are removed, moving the dining area to the former balcony. The costs of such re-equipment are decent: everything needs to be insulated: floor, ceiling, walls. Then install good double-glazed windows. It is also necessary to somehow organize the heating: moving radiators is a long undertaking with a dubious result (order an estimate and a project, coordinate it...). It is easier to make an electric heated floor. The area is small, with normal insulation the bills will be small.
When renovating, it is not even necessary to remove the part of the wall that was under the window. This protrusion can be turned into.
The “remaining” wall can be turned into a bar counter
If this element does not fit into your plans, you can leave this piece as a counter or cabinet: horizontal surfaces in the kitchen are never superfluous.
If you don’t like this option, this “stub” is removed. Please note: only him. The walls on the right and left are load-bearing and cannot be touched categorically. Not a centimeter. But even just a neatly designed square opening looks good.
If the U-shaped opening is not pleasing, you can even simply round one of the corners and the picture will change.
If you enhance the passage, add a suspended ceiling, and lighting, you will get a design element that gives the kitchen interior a special charm.
Making a ledge part of a multi-stage ceiling is a wonderful, but time-consuming solution
What can you do on a balcony/loggia combined with a kitchen? Whatever. You can make a not very wide counter across the entire width of the window, and place high but comfortable chairs there.
Counter along the glazing - it’s nice to drink coffee while looking at the cityscape
You can do the opposite - place a dining table on the loggia or balcony. But to do this, you will need to remove that very “stub” of the wall that was under the window. Not a bad solution, by the way.
A dining table on the balcony is also a possible option
Someone even manages to put a sofa in this small space. The solution is extraordinary, but, as you can see, it can also be implemented.
With the right approach, you can take the refrigerator out onto the balcony. Usually there are problems with its placement: the thing is too large and difficult to fit somewhere organically. And often the renovation of a kitchen of a small area (9 square meters is not much) is stalled precisely when searching for an option for its installation.
Moving the refrigerator to the balcony is an interesting solution
Kitchen renovation 9 sq m with a balcony in full version- from dismantling to finishing order - filmed in video. There are many interesting ideas:
- using a wall cabinet of shallow depth above the table and mirrored doors on it;
- functional table - a pull-out shelf is hidden in the leg, two drawers are hidden in the tabletop;
- save space
Using windows and sills
Not everyone has a balcony in the kitchen, but perhaps most have a window. If desired, it can also be turned into a very functional area. The first, often used example is replacing the window sill with a countertop. With this option, it is worth making the tabletop quite wide so that you can cook and eat, if necessary, and arrange it there. workplace— put the laptop down and check email while drinking coffee.
Some time ago, it was not customary to place kitchen furniture near the window: there are usually radiators there, and it was not a good idea to close them best idea. But it became possible to move radiators - lightweight aluminum and bimetallic ones appeared, and they also began to make heating warm floors. This expands the possibilities for installing furniture: it can also be placed near the window.
Washing by the window in the kitchen is almost like a classic of the genre. True, this option is not without problems: there will be splashes on the glass, and there will also be difficulties with moving the sewage system. Nevertheless, they do this too.
Another option is to make a cabinet under the window. However, then you can do it above and on the sides... It turns out very well, and the space is used 100%.
The upper cabinets store appliances and dishes that are used only occasionally. We have such, and there are many of them. It turns out very functional. Just pay attention that the color of the furniture should be light. Otherwise, the cabinets will “crush”.
In narrow, long kitchens, you can move the dining area under the window. The solution is very non-standard, but such a layout is also rare. Nevertheless, the idea is interesting.
Move the dining area to the end - under the window
For romantic natures, for whom functionality is not the main thing, you can make a place for gatherings instead of a window sill. True, this is if the walls allow it. And these are old brick Stalinist houses. Their kitchens are also 9 square meters, however, the ceilings are high...
Subject to proper planning, kitchen design for 9 square meters. m in modern style will not be inferior in functionality large room. In this article we have prepared 25 photos that will help you get your bearings on the eve of the renovation. Before starting work, carefully plan the entire process: arrangement of furniture in the room, layout of kitchen modules, decide on a palette of materials.
- If there is a loggia adjacent to the room, it is better to combine it with the kitchen;
- Dismantle the entrance door to the room, or install it so that the opening is directed outward;
- The doorway can be visually enlarged by constructing an arch;
- For an area of 9 sq. m suitable straight, corner or T-shaped set.

Today, maximum simplicity and practicality are welcomed everywhere and in everything.
And if you look into the 9-meter kitchen, you can understand that the use of such maximalism here is self-evident.
Most housewives dream of having a multifunctional kitchen in a tiny space. The tips below will help you make a small kitchen more convenient and practical. .
The most successful arrangement of furniture for kitchens is 9 square meters. m. is such an arrangement, when the entire technological process of cooking occurs sequentially.
With an angular layout, The sink is best positioned in a corner some distance from the stove while still maintaining consistency.
The linear arrangement of furniture in the kitchen visually increases its area and greatly simplifies the cooking process.
Furniture arrangement with such a design it could be as follows:
- fridge;
- washing;
- plate;
- additional work area (if necessary).
If there is a balcony or loggia in the kitchen, It would be appropriate to move the dining area there, at least for the summer season.
Also, there you can install additional shelves, a refrigerator or freezer and a microwave.
If a balcony or loggia is insulated in accordance with all norms and standards, then all of the above equipment can be there all year round.
Comfortable placement of the sink
The sink is the most frequently used place in the kitchen, Therefore, in the work triangle it is located between the food storage and preparation areas.
The sink should be located on at a distance of 1.2 to 2 m from the stove and refrigerator.
Corner placement of the sink is the best layout option.
There must be a drawer or cabinet next to it for clean dishes, An excellent solution would be to install it above the sink.
In addition, if the kitchen provides for a dishwasher and washing machine, they should also be located in close proximity to the sink for more convenient connection to water supplies.
Significant space savings due to built-in household appliances
Possibilities modern layout kitchens can do incredible things.
A small kitchenette can turn into a large, comfortable and functional room; a large kitchen can acquire more elegant, compact dimensions without losing its convenience and spaciousness.
The reason for such transformations is a modern technological built-in technology, which, despite its cumbersomeness (in some cases), can become completely invisible, but at the same time not get lost in the general background.
Correct placement of household appliances relative to each other:
1. The gas stove should be located at a preferable distance from all other household appliances; it is also undesirable to place the gas stove near a window.
2. It is best to install the hood at a height of up to 75 cm from an electric hob and up to 80 cm from a gas stove. Correct installation hoods will significantly increase the operating productivity of equipment.
3. The refrigerator should be located away from heating and heating devices (appliances), be it a stove, microwave, heating radiator or gas boiler.
4. Best options location microwave oven are:
- a special hanging shelf installed at the level of an outstretched arm;
- window sill with the required width;
- a niche in the kitchen unit or wall for embedding a microwave;
- refrigerator, but only if it is not high.
You can, of course, place the microwave on the kitchen countertop, but this will greatly reduce the space of the work area.
5. In a modern kitchen, TV is an integral part of the interior. The location of the TV must be approached with all seriousness, since it does not tolerate proximity to stoves, sinks, and ovens.
The TV should be in a place convenient for viewing from anywhere in the kitchen. It can be:
- secure using fasteners with a rotating bracket m on the wall,
- install on a special shelf;
- integrate into a furniture set;
- place on the tabletop;
- One of the innovative and practical options is to install a hood with a built-in television panel.
Regardless of which option is chosen, the TV should not be too large and bulky.
Visually expand the room using light colors in the decoration
The color palette is one of the main components that can visually enlarge a small kitchen.
The most suitable shades are:
- pearl;
- pale green;
- pale blue;
- beige;
- coffee with milk;
- ivory;
- all pastel colors;
- silver and golden colors.
And to prevent the kitchen interior from becoming too bland, you can contrast it.
For example, make the floor several shades darker, but not completely dark, and leave the walls and ceiling light.
Thus, the room will not only visually expand, but also increase in height.
Dining area in the form of a folding table or bar counter
To save as much space as possible in the kitchen designers came up with solutions such as:
- A bar counter built into a wall or furniture set can simultaneously serve as a work area and a dining table. This option is suitable for small families;
- a folding table, usually built into the wall under the window. Quite an original and practical solution. The folding table can also be used as a work area.
- An interesting option is a roll-out drawer-table and drawers in the form of seats. Quite an unusual, but quite compact and practical solution.
Each of these options dining areas will fit perfectly into a kitchen of any size, and will delight with its ergonomics and originality.
Make a kitchen with an area of 9 square meters. m. maximally functional and spacious, quite simply.
The main thing is to decide on the basic functionality and create at least a sketch of what exactly you want to see in your kitchen in reality.
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house. Women, and every family member spend quite a lot of time here. You can meet with the whole family in the evening and discuss how your day went in the kitchen over a delicious dinner. Therefore, this room should be cozy and properly equipped. Let's consider options for the layout and design of a 9 sq. m kitchen (photo).
Kitchen 9 sq m - design features
The kitchen can be roughly divided into three main zones: the dining room, the work area and the passage area.
The work area is a food preparation area. The technological process of cooking includes several operations - storing food, washing food and dishes, cutting dishes, preparing food that requires heat treatment, and removing waste. There are three levels in the cooking process.
The first is the work surface. This is the place where food preparation takes place. The work surface includes a sink, countertop, and stove. To make it convenient for the hostess to cook, it is best if all these elements are located continuously in one line.
Arrangement of kitchen furniture in this order makes it possible to reduce cooking time and save the housewife’s energy. Everything that is above and below the countertop is the second and third levels. Usually the necessary items for kitchen work are stored there.
Even if the kitchen is very small, it is necessary to allocate space to create the actual dining area where all family members can eat.
Kitchen 9 sq m - layout
There are several options for kitchen layout.
1. KITCHEN IN ONE ROW Suitable for narrow rooms, but not less than 1.9 m wide. The windows are located at the end of the wall. It is convenient for small families. The work area is located on one side, and the dining room on the other.
2. KITCHEN IN TWO ROWS This organization of space is convenient and simple. In order to organize the kitchen in two rows, the room must have the shape of an elongated rectangle with a width of 2.3 m or more. On one longitudinal side there is usually a stove and a sink, on the other there is a cupboard and a refrigerator.
3. LAYOUT recommended for small rooms with a shape close to a square or rectangle. A very rational layout, as it makes it possible to organize a work area by the window. It is possible to divide the kitchen into working and dining areas.
4. P-LAYOUT beneficial for both large and small rooms with a window in the longitudinal wall. The equipment can be placed along three walls. The close arrangement of the kitchen allows you to use even the corners of the furniture. Very economical use of space.
5. C-PLAN designed for large areas, but you can try for 9 sq. m. Eliminates the need for a dining room, since it freely divides the zones into working and dining areas. By combining a 9 sq. m kitchen with a living room, you can make this option.
6. KITCHEN-ISLAND is an equipped L or U-shaped kitchen with additional work surface in the middle of the room. But it might just be an island. Also an option for a combined living room.
The kitchen, with an area of 9 meters, provides ample opportunities for the implementation of design ideas. However, this issue must be approached with due care. It is not so easy to rationally place appliances, all kitchen utensils, and accessories.
You shouldn’t settle for the option with a small-sized kitchen furniture set. It will seem to you that you have saved space, but in reality you will rush from sink to stove in an empty space. If you can’t properly organize your kitchen design yourself, contact a specialist.
Use built-in technology. This will save space for the bar counter. Very fashionable now, in a 9 m kitchen it will also be functional, since you can not only dine on it, but also receive friends.
You can visually enlarge the space by choosing light colors for the furniture and walls. You can visually “unload” the furniture and give it lightness and airiness using the presence of open cabinets.
Kitchen 9 sq m - photo
It would be a mistake to say that only kitchens with a large area can be beautifully decorated and made multifunctional.
Even if you only have nine square meters, there is a chance to create a unique room where you can engage in culinary experiments and organize family dinners at any time.
A reasonable 9 meters will allow you to place in the room absolutely everything necessary for its operation, from a table and chairs or a soft set, to a refrigerator and other electronics. In turn, a well-chosen color scheme will give the interior a special charm and emphasize the sophistication of the decor.
Even if you have never worked in design development before, you shouldn’t be afraid, because all the necessary information is freely available, including ready-made ideas of what the layout of a 9 meter kitchen with a refrigerator could be. Photos allow you to find your own style and techniques that you would like to repeat.
In no case should you underestimate the initial stage of transforming the kitchen space, because the visual appearance of the room will depend on how correctly the style and place for each item is chosen. Moreover, in the case of a small room, every little thing plays its role, so in order to decide on the style and other aspects, you need to consider:
- room configuration - kitchen layout options 9 meters square and with a narrow passage are significantly different, for example, arranging furniture and appliances in 2 rows is completely unsuitable if there is not enough distance between the walls
- the number and location of windows – the presence of natural light plays a huge role, the more of it, the more spacious the interior appears
- location of sockets and connection points with communication systems - if you don’t want to spend a lot of time, money and effort on repairs, then select the layout of a 9 square meter kitchen based on the current location of electrical fittings, water supply and sewerage
- intensity of use is one thing if you rarely cook and prefer to use the room as a living room, but quite another thing when you need to equip a room intended for everyday cooking
Developing a concept
Transforming any room requires following certain rules, which are developed by experts and tested for personal experience, both professional designers and beginners in this field. Of course, the main goal is to provide maximum visual magnification, although there are several ways to achieve this effect:
- expand the main space by joining additional area– the layout of a 9-meter kitchen with a balcony allows you to separate the dining and work areas, although you need to remember the need to maintain a single style and color combination
- re-equip the door structure so that it can be opened outwards, or completely abandon the door by arranging a beautiful arch
With an arched doorway design, it is possible to achieve a double effect, namely: “push apart” the walls and make the ceiling higher.
- install furniture around the perimeter of one wall (solid) or in the shape of the letter L, while leaving enough space for free movement around the room
The color scheme, on which the overall mood of the interior depends, deserves special attention. There is an opinion that the ideal shade is white (it helps to expand the space better than others), although in fact you can choose other colors that will look no less beautiful.
Among the undesirable shades are red, which provokes aggression and does not allow you to relax, and gray, which can ruin your mood. All other colors, if harmoniously combined with the colors of furniture and decor, are quite suitable for the kitchen interior, although each has its own effect on the human body. For example, lemon and orange cause a surge of positive energy, while light green or blue give a feeling of freshness.
