Kitchen Furniture Set of the U-shaped Form
If there is enough space in your kitchen for the location of the U-shaped bench or set, then, in fact, you get a full-fledged dining area, to which it is enough to purchase a dining table suitable for you and 1-2 chairs for household members or receiving guests.
This dining area is able to take up to 6 people if you add 2 more chairs to the table. Agree that it is a lot, given the small size of the soft kitchen. The snow-white palette of the corner design, in tone with the general decoration, expands and refreshes the space. A bright textile dilutes the monochromatic palette and brings an element of fun into the atmosphere of the kitchen.
It is very comfortable if your corner bench has a hard basis, and the soft seats are removable cushions. The dining area, as well as the kitchen one, is subject to increased pollution, so the possibility of washing the pillows can be a decisive factor in choosing a model of the kitchen corner, at least for the housewife.
Some homeowners like the option of an absolutely rigid version of the dining furniture set, without pillows and bedding at all. For anyone who does not want to spend a lot of time at the table so as not to eat too much, such a model of the corner of the U-shaped form can be an excellent option for the practical decoration of the kitchen space.

There are no canons for the performance of the dining group in the same color range or using the same materials in the modern interior. Your dining set can be wooden with chairs plastic, and the tabletop of the dining table can be of glass. If the interior of the dining room as a whole is eclectic, then a certain disunity of the dining ensemble will be only on hand. Against the background of a calm, neutral finish, you can afford bright chairs or textiles for a soft corner.

Mini Corner or Dining Area for Small Rooms
It often happens that it is very difficult to make room for a dining group within the kitchen space. But even on 15-20 square feet, you can place a full-fledged ensemble for lunch and dinner. We bring to your attention several design projects of the kitchen and dining rooms with small furniture corner sets, which for the hundredth time prove that there are no small rooms, there is irrational use of their potential.

For a narrow and long kitchen, the “café imitating” dining-room became beautiful, an option that not only provided the kitchen space with a place for dining but also brings symmetry to the room. The table, which has only one support and fixing to the wall, saves space and is convenient for sitting opposite each other. Soft removable seats are easy to clean. In general, the area is comfortable and practical.
