Features of the layout of the kitchen-niche

Most often to the option of an apartment with a kitchen-niche resort, when the living space is given too little space. The desire to push the boundaries leads to the fact that the kitchen area is diverted to any other room, and it is moved to a niche, for example, a living room or a corridor. It should be remembered that with this redevelopment, only electric heating is possible, as well as having an area of ​​at least 5 square meters without natural light . In addition, in multi-storey houses the placement of any kind of kitchen over the living rooms of neighbors is unacceptable. Sometimes a room with a kitchen-niche is found in spacious rooms, where there is enough space for everyone. This arrangement of rooms can only be perceived as a non-standard design solution.

In any case, the desire to make a kitchen-niche requires the permission of the relevant authorities.
