- The number of functional areas (also takes into account the design of the kitchen - combined or separate with the living room);
- Size and design of the product itself;
- Options, the presence of a group for the dining area.

- For a square kitchen, the following arrangement of the product is suitable: opposite the work surface. The most appropriate will be a sofa of angular design, as shown in the photo.
- For elongated rooms suitable sofas P or G - shaped. It is also acceptable to place several of these sofas.
- For the kitchen-studio, choosing the most suitable sofa is most important, since the set plays the role of both a dining area and a relaxation area. Also, this element of the environment can divide the space into functional parts.
How to decorate a sofa area
It will be necessary to think over in advance what the zone at the sofa will look like. After all, this will create a cozy atmosphere in the room and refresh the interior of the room. The most successful option is pasting the recreation area with photo wallpaper.
With the use of photo wallpaper, the kitchen will become more fresh, vibrant and cheerful. Drawing on the wallpaper can be any:
- Abstract;
- Landscape;
- Using geometric shapes;
- Floral or animal ornaments.
If square meters of the room allow, then the recreation area can be decorated with artificial stone. This will add sophistication to the kitchen and make it more chic.
Also, some accents in the recreation area will make the kitchen cozy, for example, paintings or photos of the family on the wall, original lamps, flowers in vases, small pillows in the corners of the sofa, bright curtains or, conversely, curtains of calm tones.
Important! It should be remembered that all selected accessories should be suitable for the style of the kitchen in order to complement the interior, and not overload it.
Rest area by the window
Installing a soft sofa, and, consequently, a sitting area by the window is an interesting option.

This means that the recreation area will be located right in the center of the room, which is not particularly convenient if the kitchen is not gigantic in size, and the work surface is at your side. Therefore, this option is suitable only for spacious rooms.
An interesting idea for such accommodation would be combining the kitchen with the loggia and moving the recreation area there. Such a solution will definitely make the kitchen spacious, and most importantly interesting for many who come to visit.
