Choosing between a stove and a stove

It would seem that the fight between the stove and the stove has long been lost by the latter, and yet it continues to "live" in rustic interiors. A modern unit that runs on gas or electricity is more convenient to use. All that is required from the hostess is to turn the switch or light the gas in the burner. The stove will have to be heated (it may take a beginner half a day to do this), clean out the ash after two or three uses, systematically subject it to total cleaning, harvest and chop wood. Yes, this unit is really inextricably linked with a whole mass of additional troubles, but they pale in comparison with the unique aroma of the food prepared on it. If you also use themed dishes (pots and glitches), then the dishes will turn out to be even tastier. In addition, the oven has a large hob, which is indispensable for large-scale culinary battles and canning in the country.

Furnace in the interior

A city dweller is accustomed to cooking on a gas stove, but in the country it is not always possible to supply gas to the summer kitchen. Therefore, when carrying out repairs, it makes sense to think about equipping the summer cottage extension with a stove and equip the interior around this original and useful element of kitchen utensils.

If laying the stove is not for you, it is not at all necessary to build it yourself. It is much easier to order a ready-made modern design that can work both on wood, and on electricity or gas. Its equipment may include:

• oven;
• hob;
• B-B-Q;
• tabletop for cutting products;
• a niche for firewood, as well as shelves for dishes and cutlery.

A stove or fireplace is not only an original element of the interior of a summer kitchen, but also an important functional component.

The design of a semi-open kitchen can be arranged by starting from its main element - a fireplace or stove

An open-air summer kitchen can freely include such an important element of the interior as an oven.

Material for the construction of a summer kitchen

Summer kitchens in summer cottages are built from various materials, depending on the preferences of the owners and their cost. Structures made of wood or natural stone will organically fit in. Buildings made of modern materials (polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, corrugated board) are no less popular. If a residential building or a fence is built of brick, then the summer kitchen should be made of it. Brick can be used to construct or decorate a barbecue area, lay out a fireplace from it.

To cover the floor, tiles are suitable, which are practical, easily tolerate any adverse weather conditions. A good solution would be to combine wooden elements and stone. These materials organically fit into the garden design and do not require special skills when working with them.

It is important to ensure proper care of the wooden parts, their processing, so that they do not collapse. Using modern building materials in the construction of a summer kitchen, they can be combined with any other

How to choose the type of premises? Closed summer kitchens are most common in summer cottages. Such premises can be used throughout the year and in any weather. A similar structure can be built as an extension to a residential building, a bathhouse, or built as a stand-alone building.

The most convenient way is an extension to a residential building. In this case, one of the walls no longer needs to be built, and it is more convenient to bring all communications into the room. In the summer kitchen, almost always equipped with a stove or fireplace. The size of the building depends on the wishes of the owners and the total area of ​​the site. Often, as a budget option, a summer kitchen is equipped on the veranda.

Construction of a summer kitchen: stages

Stage 1. When constructing a structure, even an open type, first of all, you need to make a markup and pour the foundation. There is no need to equip a capital base for open spaces. A pit 15 cm deep is enough, which is covered with sand or fines, and tamped. A floor covering from boards, tiles is laid on top.

Stage 2. If you plan to build a summer kitchen in the form of a closed room, then you need a more solid foundation - columnar or tape. In this case, the depth of the pit will be at least 50 cm.

Stage 3. Before building the walls, you need to make a frame from a wooden bar. Before installing it, in each corner, along the entire perimeter, a hole is dug, the depth of which is about 0.5 meters. Supports are inserted into the prepared grooves, and they are poured with cement mortar. With the help of metal corners, beams are fixed between the supports.

Stage 4. Then, the openings in the frame are sewn up with any material you like. Experts recommend choosing those that do not need to be further processed, like plastic, siding, corrugated board. When constructing a closed structure, the walls are made capital. For example, they use brick, stone or foam blocks. Most often, the thickness of the walls is made 0.5 bricks. From the inside, the walls can be plastered, sheathed with panels, clapboard.

For a summer kitchen, a shed roof is most often constructed. For this purpose, from opposite sides, beams of unequal heights are installed. Profiled sheet, slate, tile are used as a coating. In the summer kitchen, wicker furniture made of rattan and bamboo looks good. It is lightweight and easy to carry from one place to another.

Closed summer kitchen

Those who want to have an all-season summer area for gatherings or cooking, erect more capital buildings. Most often, these are buildings using frame technology - quickly and relatively inexpensively, more expensive, but more thoroughly - from a log or bar.

Option "frame" - racks from a bar sheathed with clapboard

In the case of a frame building, everything is very simple: with a small step, racks from a bar are placed (you can even spliced ​​boards), then they are sheathed on both sides with some kind of finishing material. What - of your choice, even a clapboard - wooden or plastic, a blockhouse, any other material. Inside, to save money, they are often sheathed with plywood, fiberboard, gypsum fiber board, OSB or something similar. If desired, it can be insulated. The frame is sheathed on one side, insulation (usually mineral wool) is laid, the sheathing is mounted on the other side. You can insulate not only immediately, but after some time, you only have to remove the sheathing on one side.

What does the "skeleton" of a summer kitchen look like using frame technology

Another frame construction is convenient in that it can be given any shape, and the foundation can be relatively light - depending on the soil - pile or tape. Such foundations are also needed for wooden buildings - from a log or a bar. Here all the rules are the same

It is important to find or order a project, but assembling is a matter of technology

Summer kitchen made of logs

Naturally, you can build from any other materials - from foam blocks - to bricks or even rubble. It's all about the amount that you plan or can spend on this building. The construction of foam concrete, aerated concrete, some building blocks, adobe will also cost inexpensively. A cinder block, like adobe, can be made independently, so the choice of material is only yours, and then everything is built according to all the rules. With only one deviation: insulation for a summer kitchen is either not done at all, or made to be minimal

Another point - heating, as a rule, is absent, and this must also be taken into account when choosing materials for construction and for decoration

Photo report of the construction of a summer kitchen with an open veranda

A summer kitchen was being built with the opportunity to “sit in the air”. Therefore, the option with an open veranda was chosen. The base of the house is assembled from a bar 200 * 200 mm, internal walls - from 150 * 100 mm. Outwardly, I like the carriage, but it is godlessly expensive, because the timber was suspended to create a similar relief.

The foundation is columnar. Since the construction is light, the soils are normal, the posts were buried only 60 cm.

Ready foundation

The harness was assembled from a bar 200 * 200 mm. It was pre-soaked with an antiseptic. The corners were connected as usual - they made cuts. The crossbars were placed on metal U-shaped plates. The timber was not rigidly fastened, since the heaving would still be there, so that the building had the opportunity to "walk".

Assembling the harness

The racks were made from a bar of 200 * 200 mm, the inner filling was from 150 * 100 mm.

Putting up the walls

The walls were assembled quite quickly and without problems: there were no cuttings, just pieces of timber of the required length were nailed to the racks. The roof is made of a gable, with a slight slope angle. On the one hand, the extension of the rafter legs is greater - in order to make a canopy from the side of the veranda, which will also cover from the slanting rain.

After the walls were assembled, the rafter system was taken up

The ceiling lining is made of unedged boards, which were then brought to mind on our machine.

Ceiling lining - board

This is after we painted and put the frames.

Stylistic solutions

The interior of the kitchen in the country should correspond to the general concept of the whole house, be combined with finishes and materials. Many people prefer to maintain a rustic flavor and unity with nature, so the following are the most common designs.

Ecostyle. For a kitchen in a country house in a wooden house, there is nothing better than the use of natural, environmentally friendly materials. The style also involves the installation of communications and devices that will help save energy, reduce water consumption, and recycle waste. The interior uses natural shades: green, azure, woody.

Provence. This style of the French hinterland has long been loved by our compatriots for its sophistication and originality. Natural materials are also used here, however, hand-made products from wood are most welcome. The set looks great using decoupage technique with a touch of antiquity. This design has the ability to revive old furniture and breathe new life into it. As for the color scheme, such an interior involves the use of green, light green, blue, white, yellow, pale yellow shades.

Scandinavian.The design embodies a harmonious combination of rustic flavor and modern functionality. Unlike Provence and eco-style, expensive and ultra-fashionable household appliances are appropriate here, since the main emphasis is on convenience. In this case, the headset must be made of natural materials or its high-quality counterparts. The interior is usually dominated by white and its shades: ivory, milky. Decor elements in the form of chair covers, soft decorative pillows, an abundance of textiles, hand-made crafts are very welcome. Such a kitchen with its own hands looks elegant and very cozy, especially decorated with houseplants.

American country. This style is quite democratic in the choice of materials for decoration, in furniture, and in colors.
As with Scandinavian interiors, functionality and convenience are emphasized here. The main rule is the availability of free space and a minimum of unnecessary decor.
Usually these are spacious island kitchens with a lot of appliances and a well-equipped work area.

Russian dacha style. This is one of the directions of country style, which is subdivided into ethnic and geographic groups.

It is important here to recreate the atmosphere of the Slavic ancestors who lived in the huts, so the main focus is on kitchen utensils. This is a samovar, clay pots, dishes with Gzhel painting and other similar attributes.

Massive furniture made of a felling of a tree, a little rough and bulky, would be appropriate. Instead of chairs, it is better to put wooden benches, cover the table with a tablecloth with patterns and ornaments.

Classical. This is a design that never goes out of style and looks great both in the countryside and in the city. It gives an atmosphere of luxury, sophistication and restraint at the same time. Solid wood furniture with carved facades, moldings, forged metal parts is a distinctive feature of this interior. The classic style is more suitable for spacious rooms, since in small kitchens it will not be possible to recreate an amazing color. It's good if the room has high ceilings. In the case of a kitchen-living room, it would be appropriate to hang a crystal chandelier. As for the color scheme, the interior can be dominated by white, brown, milky, sand, beige, always in combination with gold. It is better to hang massive curtains with garters on the windows.

The dishes and wall clocks on display help to diversify the interior of the kitchen.

Small kitchen interior

A small kitchen for a summer residence is easy to equip so that it looks cute and homely cozy. To do this, you need to remove all bulky furniture, leaving all the essentials. You should not allocate a separate room for the working area, when a compact set can be placed in a corner and use the kitchen strictly for its intended purpose. The dining room can be located on an adjoining veranda or in a gazebo near the house. It will not be difficult to equip a lounge area for a summer residence with your own hands if there is neither a veranda nor an additional building. To do this, you can purchase folding country tables with chairs, pull up an awning - and now the resting place is ready. In addition, the entire structure can be easily moved into the house and does not take up much space when folded.

If there is not enough space in the kitchen, transfer the dining area to the veranda or under a canopy, installing solid wood furniture there.

The kitchen should be decorated in light colors. White, sand, light green, pale blue shades will make the room more spacious and airy. It is necessary to refuse from massive curtains and cornices, replacing them with light weightless curtains. Good lighting will help to visually enlarge the size of the room.

Use white and pastel colors to equip a cramped kitchen.

Types of kitchens

Summer buildings are of 3 types: closed, combined and open. Let's consider each in more detail.

Open summer kitchen

Open kitchens are called gazebos, patios or terraces without walls (all or part), sometimes without a roof.Open summer kitchens are not insulated, so it will be comfortable to spend time here only on a fine summer day. The obvious design benefits include cost and time savings during construction. Disadvantages - the inability to protect furniture and equipment from natural disasters, animals and insects. For the same reason, all equipment will have to be brought into a warm room for the winter.

Closed summer kitchen

Gated kitchens include a veranda or grill house. This is a capital building (or an extension), with walls, a roof, windows, insulation and sometimes even heating. In fact, this is an ordinary house with only one room.

The obvious advantage of a closed summer kitchen is weather independence. Even in the rain and wind, you can comfortably cook and eat. In addition, electrical equipment is placed here without fear that it will fail. Therefore, if you want a full-fledged warm summer kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher, TV - this type of building is for you. The main disadvantage of the solution is its high cost.

Combined

The design of such a summer kitchen includes a covered and free area. The closed area houses the cooking area with appliances, countertops and cabinets. And the dining table and seating area are in the fresh air. It is more difficult to design a combined structure, but it will cost less than a one-piece enclosed space.

Open kitchen

Open summer kitchen masonry

This option can be built most quickly. We have already laid the foundation and support for the supports. If you plan to close the kitchen on one or both sides with walls made of bricks or other material, then the first step is to start building these partitions.

• At the corners of the future walls, we dig a metal square pipe or profile 50 × 50 mm into the ground. We set it up by level. We do this so that the planks are close to the masonry. They will guide us.
• Pull the fishing line between them. We raise it to the height of the first row of bricks that will be laid. We set it up by level.
• We prepare a cement-sand mortar in a ratio of 1: 3. This will be sufficient for our purposes.
• We make laying, focusing on the stretched line, and also periodically recheck ourselves with a level.
• As soon as the first row is completed, raise the line for the next and so on until the very end.
• In order for the structure to be more stable, a reinforcing mesh can be laid in the seams.

An example of a summer kitchen project from a bar

If you do not plan on having walls of this nature, then the process will be much easier.

• We fasten a beam to the metal plates that we laid during the manufacture of the foundation, which will serve as a support. When the whole structure is of great length, then it is necessary to foresee the necessity of mounting 3-4 pillars on one side in advance. Their length should be equal to the height of our building, and the dimensions of the sides should be 15 × 15 cm or 15 × 10 cm.
• We set them in level so that they are strictly vertical. The beams of one wall should be longer so that we can organize the roof slope.
• We immediately reinforce our posts with the upper strapping. It can be made from the same logs. We fix it with metal corners.
• To give greater stability to the entire structure, you can install two jibs near each post. They can be fixed to the support with self-tapping screws, and to the base with an anchor bolt.
• We mount beams for our future roof. In order for them to better hold in the places of their abutment to the harness, it is better to perform cuts. We fix it with metal corners.
• We make a crate under the flooring, as recommended by the manufacturer. We lay the roofing material.
• To create more comfort, one side (or more) can be sewn up using a wooden lining or a block of house. On the other, make a wooden lattice. You can equip supports for climbing green plants.

Varieties of summer kitchens

The simplest option for a summer kitchen is to equip an already finished terrace or veranda

On the veranda

For those who like a summer kitchen on the veranda, it is important to remember that the extension should become an organic continuation of the house. Based on this, you need to choose the style, decor and furniture for the veranda.

The appearance of the summer kitchen on the terrace should be combined with the facade of the house

It is not necessary that there is a complete coincidence, but the buildings must overlap with each other.

The first step is to lay the foundation (its depth should be equal to the depth of the foundation of the house. Otherwise, there is a risk of the extension coming off in winter). After that, the wall frame is installed and the external cladding is performed, as well as the roof (single-pitched) is covered. The most successful solution is a common roof covering for the house and the extension. In order to let more light and air onto the veranda, it is better to choose hinged windows or glaze the entire front part or the sides.

Attached to a house with a terrace

A kitchen with a terrace - or in other words, an open attached space, is based on a multiple extension of the porch. It can be attached using special beams that act as a support, installed along the wall of the house and covered with a canopy at an angle. If the plot is well leveled and there are no problems with water retention, then the floor can be established directly on the ground. The optimal material for it is paving slabs.

You can protect the terrace from bad weather with the help of side partitions, which can be both permanent and decorative.

Climbing plants on the walls will look especially harmonious, which will not only become an element of decor, but also add coolness on hot summer days.

Summer kitchen with utility block

It is difficult to imagine a private house or dacha without a change house, or in other words, without a utility room. This is a place where various things, tools and all kinds of household items are kept. Often the utility block is combined with a summer kitchen, which can be a very successful and convenient option, moreover, economical.

Such buildings are usually framed and inexpensive.

As a rule, country cabins are one or two rooms and a bathroom is the most necessary thing. In addition, if such a building was erected before the construction of the main house, then the utility block can become the location of the construction team and all the necessary building materials.

All rooms are usually arranged under a common roof.

The design often includes a canopy used for household needs or even to accommodate a car.

If the construction has already been completed, then the utility block can become a full-fledged warehouse. It is also always possible to connect imagination and equip households. block, for example, for a carpentry workshop. In general, such a room in the country or in a country house will never be superfluous.

What style to make the interior

When choosing a design concept for a summer kitchen, it is important to ensure that it is combined with the facade of the house and other objects on the site. There are several popular stylistic trends that combine comfort and homeliness.

Provence. The style, which came from the south of France with its rustic flavor, is ideal for decorating a gazebo, veranda and kitchen. The decor, on the one hand, is quite simple, and on the other hand, it is modern and elegant. It is based on natural materials and handmade elements.It is erected from wood (timber) and covered with a special solution to create the effect of antiquity. For decoration, lining is suitable, painted in the desired color. Furniture should be made exclusively from natural materials. As for the color scheme, it is better to stick to pastel shades of lilac, blue, white, yellow. The style is distinguished by the presence of textiles with lace, paintings with landscapes, the presence of porcelain, and family photographs in frames.

Classic. Light colors are ideal, which will help to visually enlarge the space.

It is important to place special emphasis on details and fittings: these elements are made of silver, copper and gold. Such an interior would not be complete without vintage furniture and crystal lamps.

Oriental and Mediterranean style

These two styles stand out for their richness and variety of colors. The most suitable material is varnished wood in rich colors. Instead of a table, it would be better to install a stand, and instead of chairs - poufs. Mosaic is suitable as a decoration. In the second version of the style, you can use brick as the main material.

Country. A real reminder of the village life, where simplicity of details and their practicality are appreciated. The main advantage of this style is its economy, because many things can be done independently. In furniture, it is preferable to give preference to models with forging elements, the walls can be covered with plaster and painted. A decorative stone or brick will also be appropriate in such an interior. Light colors will be most suitable.

The current color palette for the kitchen in a private house

The design of a kitchen in a private house can be based on any color scheme. The current color palette takes into account the following factors:

1. Which side of the world the windows face. On the south side, preference is given to cool tones, and when heading north, warm ones.
2. The number and size of windows, i.e. intensity of natural light. Shading by trees and buildings must also be taken into account.
3. Harmonious combination with color solutions in other rooms.
4. Using the principle of zoning.
5. The size of the room, the height of the ceilings.

Recommendations for choosing a color palette

White and light shades will never go out of style. They are suitable for both traditional and modern styles. Many people associate whiteness with cleanliness and accuracy.

The light palette is an excellent solution for small spaces, because visually expands the space. It provides an airy interior. Light furniture fronts are suitable for hanging cabinets on the entire wall, up to the ceiling.

From a practical point of view, there are big claims to white tones in terms of rapid contamination and increased requirements for cleaning and cleaning. They are not suitable for those who like original styles and contrasts.

Shades of wood. In the kitchen, they look attractive on the floor, furniture aprons, when decorating countertops and the surface of the "island". Wood wall decoration is more typical for country houses and summer cottages.

Color contrasts. Complex contrasting combinations with intermediate shades are now relevant.

Example: dark color of furniture fronts (wenge) combined with whiteness of walls and wooden surfaces of countertops, wood shade on the floor.

This color scheme makes objects stand out and balances the coldness and warmth of colors.

Shades of gray. They have been popular for several years now. This color is neutral, which allows it to be used in a variety of styles. Interspersed with dark zones is often used to highlight certain interior elements and, conversely, light colors to give airiness.

Dark colors

You have to be careful with them. They visually reduce space and are not suitable for small spaces.

In large kitchens, dark (almost black) surfaces look especially luxurious.

Chrome accessories stand out beautifully against their background. An impressive effect is produced by the combination of a dark background with mosaics and metal-effect tiles in the decoration of the kitchen backsplash.

Lovers of modern finishes can safely use color and contrasts.

Sometimes even bright elements look impressive, but they should be applied carefully. Excessive enthusiasm for color effects can cause irritability, impair appetite, change the taste perception of food

This issue requires an individual approach.
