The most economical - pine kitchen corners.

An important part of an angular kitchen furniture set is a compact sofa: a standard straight, L-shaped or curved table with the letter P. Made in the form of an ordinary bench with hard seats and straight backs, it takes up little space and is inexpensive, but far from comfortable. His fellow upholstered are much more comfortable and presentable, although less practical in conditions of high humidity, temperature extremes and systematic pollution, typical of the kitchen area.

Its table top is in the shape of a circle, an oval, a rectangle, and even any other asymmetric figure and is often made of metal, wood or glass - depending on which material is more suited to the stylistic design of the kitchen corner and the size of the room.

2. U-shaped - ideal for spacious rooms or niche locations. They have a significant drawback - in the limited space of the sofa zone it is difficult to change from place to place and leave the table.
3. Semicircular - are usually part of a set with round tables. They take a lot of space and are rarely suitable for small spaces. But the corner segment of the sofa zone of such kitchen sets is often equipped with a small semi-circular table top or shelf, on which it is convenient to put jars of spices and other accessories.
4. Composite - are completed from two, three and even smaller sofas, and are filled with stools, chairs or poufs if necessary. The best option for arranging a classic kitchen interior or in the style of Provence.
