Making a homemade do-it-yourself kitchen frame

Today there are many ready-made kitchen sets that can be purchased and installed in the room after repair. However, people who are able to assemble a kitchen with their own hands prefer to limit themselves to buying the necessary materials in order to save. Having some experience in wood processing and the use of carpentry tools, apartment owners will be able to cope with the task by constructing a design of suitable dimensions in the optimal style.

Features of self-design

Independent manufacture of furniture for the kitchen has several advantages. Firstly, it is the ability to assemble structures suitable for the size of the room. Secondly, the savings achieved due to the lack of need for the purchase of ready-made headsets and the involvement of craftsmen.

In addition, a home-made headset will have exclusivity and arouse a sense of pride among the owners. Moreover, if you assemble furniture from modular components, you can solve the problems of functionality, ease of layout and subsequent use.

Before you make a kitchen set with your own hands, you need to study the main types of furniture according to the design scheme, as well as the nuances that contribute to the proper placement of the modules.

Varieties of kitchen furniture sets

The design of furniture for the kitchen should be based on how it fits into the overall interior of the room. Moreover, the features of the layout are selected according to the preferences of the owner. There are such types of headsets as:

  1. Linear version suitable for narrow and long rooms.
  2. Corner, with compact dimensions and laborious to create. An important point here is the correct calculation of the angular modules, in which they most often decide to build a sink. However, you will have to take into account all the bumps prevailing in the room.
  3. U-shaped is used in large rooms where each free segment is filled with a functional element. The center of such a kitchen is a dining table.

In addition to these species, sometimes there are peninsular models in which an important role may be played by a bar counter or work surface. The latest options often have a stylish and eye-catching design.

Rules for the mutual placement of modules

Before you make the kitchen an optimal layout, you need to consider several important nuances. Basically, they have a close relationship with the rules for the mutual placement of modules:

  1. Do not allow the contact of gas pipes and flexible hoses with water pipes.
  2. The installation of the hob or gas stove should be carried out at a distance of 1.5−2 meters from the central gas supply pipe.
  3. It is necessary to achieve the optimal distance between the sink and the main gas pipe. Typically, these elements from each other are in the range of 50−80 centimeters.

The last rule requires mandatory implementation in the case of corner headsets. When collecting such designs, you can’t place the stove and sink near the corner cabinet, because there is always a chance that the hostess will accidentally fill the burner or put a towel on it.

Important points of assembly and installation

Design of a kitchen set

Before assembling the kitchen with your own hands for beginners, you need to determine the materials and make the necessary measurements of the room. The base of the frame can be made of chipboard, the back walls of fiberboard, and put chipboard on the side and bottom.

When buying these materials, you need to focus on the class of phenol expiration (labeling E1 is the best option).

For the production of facades, you can focus on natural wood or finished MDF elements, although painted chipboard will be a cheaper option.

How to assemble a kitchen

When assembling a countertop, it is important that it can withstand prolonged exposure to moisture, temperature, and is resistant to mechanical damage. In this case, the ideal option is laminated chipboard.

Room measurements

In the process of making kitchen furniture with your own hands, drawings and diagrams are best done after acquiring a sink and built-in appliances. When buying ready-made facade structures, you need to pay attention to their dimensions. In general, to correctly determine the size of furniture, you need:

  1. Provide openings for pipes and other utilities (for example, the cabinet for washing is carried out without rear walls).
  2. Consider the hood parameters for constructing a suitable cabinet.
  3. Calculate the size of the hanging module for drying dishes. To do this, you need to buy a dryer in advance and fit the rest of the design to its dimensions.

The design of the kitchen of the angular type is carried out according to the same scheme with only one difference - for each hanging cabinet you need to choose the optimal placement height.

Steps for installing items

Before you start assembling the kitchen, you need to sort the items for each cabinet. This will help to ensure a complete set and simplify the installation of furniture. First of all, the lower part of the headset is assembled. Then you can proceed with the installation of the top, which has similar features with the installation of the lower section:

  1. Upper cabinets can be secured with mounting rails. Before this, it is required to calculate the height of their placement, preferably without the help of a tape measure, in order to avoid distortions and irregularities.
  2. Next, using the level, the location of the cabinets is checked. Using a clamp, all modules must be pulled together, and in order to keep their surfaces in good condition, it will be necessary to install gaskets made of wood between them.
  3. Combine structures with each other can be intersectional couplers, for which special holes are drilled inside the structures.

To prevent chips on the finished element, you need to keep a wooden block in the drilling zone. The final step is the installation of doors on the upper section.

    Particleboard / chipboard unimportant material for such a project is heavy and non-moisture resistant. Collected several times; I consider the best option OSB on wooden blocks (35x35 and thicker).
