Kitchen furniture is very important and necessary in the kitchen. However, it should be noted that kitchen sofas wear out quickly.

This design has a number of advantages, which are expressed in significant cost savings when self-construction and the ability to set the necessary design parameters.

Preparatory work

Before you start building a new kitchen corner sofa, determine its parameters.

Experts recommend focusing on standard sizes, since a slight increase or decrease in the height and width of the back or seat can lead to the sofa becoming uncomfortable and losing its ability to provide a comfortable stay in the kitchen.

• length large sofa– 120 cm;
• product height – 85 cm;
• length of a small sofa – 90 cm;
• back height – 30 cm;
• corner seat area – 45x45 cm;
• sidewall width – 45 cm;
• seat height – 40 cm.

The given parameters are not restrictions; the calculation should be made based on the number of family members gathering in the kitchen, however, experts do not recommend going beyond 150 cm for the main module and 120 cm for the small one.

Installation of the main part

The design of the kitchen sofa includes 2 sides, to which the back and seat are attached. The main load is borne by the sides, so it is better to make them from a solid wood panel with a thickness of at least 3 cm. Pay attention to the choice of the shape of the sides, since it is this that determines the appearance of the entire soft corner. Sofas can be oval, rectangular, wavy.

For a long sofa, cut out 2 sidewalls measuring 45x37 cm. The sides of the sofa will stand on support bars 4x4 cm and 45 cm long. Attach 1 more block of the same size flush to the sidewall. Such actions can strengthen the structure and give it a finished look.

You can expand the functionality of the sofa with your own hands by using drawers under the seat covers. To make them, you will need 2 boards 15x2.5x120 cm, as well as 2 trimmings 15x2.5x30 cm, which will serve as side walls. Cover the bottom of the box with plywood inserted into the grooves. Screw the parts on the front side with self-tapping screws, the length of which should be at least 6-7 cm. Close the holes using plugs or profile strips.

The sides are connected using horizontal bars for the back: 2 2.5x7x120 cm each, 1 top 2.5x6x120 cm. The bars are attached to 4 vertical posts backrests These elements are cut from timber measuring 2.5x7x26 cm. After assembling the back frame, screw a sheet of plywood to the posts, which will later serve as the basis for the foam rubber.

The seat frame is assembled from 4 transverse and 2 longitudinal bars. The longitudinal elements should have dimensions of 4x7x120 cm, transverse ones - 4x7x16 cm. Attach the longitudinal bars to the ends through the sides using self-tapping screws. Connect the transverse planks with the longitudinal ones using the tenon method. After the frame is assembled, screw a sheet of plywood cut to size to the frame with screws.

Using piano hinges, connect the rear longitudinal bar to the seat cover. The lid should extend forward by 2-3 cm. Using metal corners, screw the backrest posts to this block.

The decision to make a kitchen corner with your own hands is usually made by those who are disappointed with the assortment offered by furniture stores. Order individual project will not be cheap, but a handmade corner sofa will not cost much. Moreover, when choosing suitable model and during the assembly process you can use any material, take into account color scheme And general style room decoration.

Before completely assembling the kitchen corner, installing the seat covers on the base, the workpiece is painted.

Unpainted frame

Decorating the frame

Furniture board or plywood can be painted, stained or varnished. Before proceeding, the corner is coated with an antiseptic primer - it will protect the wood from rotting and also improve adhesion. All parts are carefully primed on both sides and then left to dry completely. Separately apply primer to the seats, which are not yet attached to the frame.

If you decide to paint the corner, it is better to use water-based paint, such as acrylic. It is resistant to contact with water, retains its brightness for a long time, and does not wear out.

Having chosen the optimal depth and length, cut the boards into pieces required sizes.

You will need:

• 3 racks;
• 2 legs;
• 3 cross elements of the same length for a long sofa;
• 5 identical crossbars for short;
• 4 identical bars for the sides of both sofas (2 on each side);
• 2 cross members for a long sofa.

After the elements that make up the corner are cut, they are carefully sanded using sandpaper. Start with coarse grain, then use medium.

Mark the holes for the dowels. Each frame element must be connected to another using 2 dowels. Drill holes for them using a drill with a crown.

Coat the holes with wood glue, insert dowels, and fit the parts tightly together using a hammer. It is important to ensure that there is a right angle between the elements; distortions should not be allowed.

Every internal corner The structures are strengthened by screwing a metal corner to the boards.

Varnish or stain coating

The wooden base is covered with 2 layers of varnish or stain. If the latter is used, after the frame has dried, it must be sanded again, since the stain raises the pile on the wood, and there is a risk of planting a splinter.

Assembly

Assembly and painting of the frame

Cut out 2 front strips for the drawer, 2 side strips. They are secured from the inside of the frame so that the lower end is in contact with the bottom. Fixed with self-tapping screws to the boards.

Cut out 2 seat covers. Their dimensions should be 2 cm larger than the width and length of the boxes, so that when closed they are securely held on the frame.

Sheathing

Before completely assembling the kitchen corner, the lids are sheathed. First, the foam rubber is glued to the base, then it is wrapped in batting, securing it with a stapler, and then covered with furniture fabric.

Fabric covering

The final stage is installing the seat. Both blanks are attached to the rear crossbar of the frame on hinges.

A corner sofa for the kitchen made from ordinary boards is ready.

Kitchen corner renovation and restoration

If a kitchen corner, assembled with your own hands, begins to look unsightly, it can be restored by returning original appearance. The method depends on which part of the furniture requires updating - the frame or the upholstery.

Frame

The front parts of the frame, made of wood or plywood, can be painted, varnished, or stained.

To do this you need:

1. Remove fabric-covered elements.
2. Remove the old coating, if any. Remaining paint can be removed with sandpaper.
3. Seal the fittings or other parts of the frame that should not be exposed to paint with masking tape.
4. Using a ditch and a brush, carefully coat the kitchen corner with 1-2 layers of varnish, stain or paint.

Upholstery replacement

The process of replacing faded, stained or torn upholstery is quite simple. There is no need to completely disassemble the kitchen corner - you need to remove the sofa seats from their hinges and dismantle the backs.

After removing the fabric, pulling out the staples, tear off the foam rubber from the strips. Cut out parts of the required size from foam rubber and fabric (faux leather, velor, microfiber, etc.), taking into account the dimensions of the wooden elements. Then reupholster, proceeding in the same way as when making furniture.

Replacing foam rubber and upholstery on a sofa: before and after

Making a kitchen corner with your own hands is not too difficult. The main thing is to accurately cut out all the parts, adhering to the dimensions indicated in the drawings. Even a slight deviation can lead to distortion of the structure.

Assembling a small sofa for the kitchen with your own hands is an opportunity not only to show your inclinations home handyman, but also to do a pleasant surprise your loved one, give her the opportunity to rest comfortably while preparing food.

The main advantages of making a sofa with your own hands: significant cost savings, the ability to set the necessary design parameters.

The design of folding sofas is too complex for self-made, so let's consider simple options— straight and corner sofas without moving elements. At first glance, the structure of such furniture is very complex, but if you remove the upholstery and fittings from factory-made sofas, you can see that they are constructed very simply, using a minimum of parts.

Selection of materials for the frame

Most furniture, including kitchen sofas, are made from chipboards, but they are quite inconvenient for working at home, since they are difficult to saw without the use of special tools. Therefore, to make sofas for the kitchen with your own hands, it is recommended to use a carpentry panel - a wide board, which is made by gluing together several elements made of solid wood in width and length. Standard thickness This material is 18 mm, which gives a sufficient margin of safety and makes it easy to cut it to the desired size with a regular saw or electric jigsaw. The ends of the joinery board, with the proper degree of grinding, do not require gluing additional materials and can be covered with several layers of varnish.

To connect the main structural elements small cross-section beams are used - from 15x15 to 40x40 mm, depending on the purpose. They have good strength and elasticity and distribute weight well.

Additional connecting elements - dowels, confirmat screws, metal corners and piano hinges will help you reliably and easily assemble all the components of the sofa together.

An approximate list of materials that will be useful to you when creating a sofa body looks like this:

• carpentry board, thickness from 18 to 25 mm;
• beams of different sections - from 15x15 to 40x40 mm;
• sheet plywood, 10-12 mm thick;
• metal corners;
• confirmed screws;
• wooden dowels;
• wood glue.

The number of components may vary depending on the sofa model.

Selection of upholstery material

When it comes to a kitchen sofa, the image of a soft and comfortable corner comes to mind, where you can relax while cooking, sit with family or friends festive table, or just relax with an interesting book after a hard day at work. In order to bring this to life, it will be important to choose the material of its upholstery so that it is comfortable to sit on. An additional selection criterion is non-marking and ease of cleaning. The category of such materials includes natural and artificial leather, leatherette, as well as various synthetic fabrics. Genuine leather looks very beautiful, it is practical and easy to clean, but its price is quite high, and it is risky to use it for homemade sofa Not recommended. It is best to opt for artificial leather substitutes, since their color range is very wide, and the texture is almost no different from natural leather.

Used as upholstery filler traditional material- foam rubber, 4-5 cm thick. For the back, filler of a smaller thickness is used - 3-4 cm.

When producing foam rubber in accordance with modern technologies, we obtain a material that is particularly reliable, does not cake over time and has good elasticity. It is easy to work with, give it any shape, and cut it to the desired size.

Kitchen sofa design

Picture 1. dimensions kitchen corner sofa.

You should start designing a kitchen sofa by choosing its design. If you are not confident in your skills, we recommend starting with creating a simple straight sofa, since it is much easier to create compared to corner models. At any time it can be supplemented with a corner component and another small side seat and turned into a full-fledged corner sofa.

The main components of a sofa of the simplest design are:

• two sidewalls, which also double as armrests, if provided for by the design;
• seat;
• back;
• the back and front walls of the box to which the seat is attached.

You can find it online a large number of drawings of sofas - from the simplest to corner and horseshoe-shaped. When choosing a model, you should take into account the parameters of the place where the sofa will be installed, so that its back does not rest against the window sill, and the sides fit into the space between the rest of the furniture. Standard sizes Most factory-produced models are:

• height - 850-860 mm;
• depth - 620 mm;
• length - 1300-1700 mm (Fig. 1).

Assembling a sofa for the kitchen

You should start creating a sofa by marking out all the details. The sidewalls can be made of any shape, even the most bizarre, the main thing is to draw them correctly on the carpentry board and cut them with a saw or an electric jigsaw.

The sidewalls will be connected to each other by wooden beams - 4 pieces with a cross section of 40x40 mm run parallel to each other. The sidewalls are attached to these beams. Beams of a smaller section - 20x20 or 30x30 in the amount of 3 pieces - are placed parallel to the future back of the sofa, and a plywood sheet is attached to them, which will become the basis of the backrest.

The seat, front and back walls are connected to four thick bars, forming the base of the sofa.

Before starting to assemble all the elements together, you must first make through holes in the sidewalls for confirmatory screws, and in the beams - holes with a diameter of 4.5-5 mm and a depth of 50 mm.

Such conditions provide maximum reliable fastening wooden parts each other, since the standard confirmat with a thread diameter of 7 mm fits tightly into such a hole.

Types of sofa upholstery: a – soft and upholstery material, b – cutting, c – order of upholstery and reupholstery.

If you complicate the design of the sofa a little by adding a bottom and making the seat folding, then in the resulting space you can easily store kitchen utensils, small equipment, workpieces or other necessary things. In this case, the lid is not fixedly attached, but is connected using piano hinges to the rear beam.

In a similar way, the structure can be converted into a corner one by adding a small (120-130 cm) sofa, which adjoins the main sofa at an angle of 90°.

The corner section, which plays the role of a connecting element between the two parts of the sofa, will help give the product a finished and neat look.

When all preparations for assembly are completed, you can begin to connect the parts together, but before that you need to upholster the sofa, since it is very inconvenient to do this when assembled, and sometimes completely impossible.

Kitchen sofa upholstery

The sofa is upholstered using furniture stapler and staples for it.

If you have never worked with this tool before, you must be extremely careful as staples fly out with great speed and force, which can cause serious injury.

The stapler can be replaced with special upholstery nails, but using them requires some effort.

To get started, take the board that will need to be covered with upholstery and place it face down on the floor. Cut a suitable piece of upholstery fabric with a margin of 10-15 cm on each side. Using a furniture stapler, secure the upholstery fabric along one of the long sides boards, then turn it over and install a sheet of foam rubber cut to fit the seat under the fabric. Turn the board over again, wrap the remaining fabric over reverse side, pull tightly and secure with staples or upholstery nails around the perimeter at intervals of 1-2 cm. Repeat the sequence of operations for the back of the sofa.

You can finish the armrests in a similar way, using small strips and leftover foam rubber and upholstery fabric.

Kitchen sofa - incredibly comfortable and practical solution which is suitable for any interior. With very little effort, you can create your own kitchen sofa that will fully satisfy your needs for relaxation and comfort. The materials for its creation are available to everyone, and the time it takes to assemble it is more than compensated by the pride that you did everything yourself.

Soft kitchen sofas are the most popular pieces of furniture used for furnishing kitchen space or dining area. They are quite functional, but do not take up too much space, which is important for small premises. In addition, the design of such a piece of furniture is quite simple, so anyone who knows how to hold a hammer, screwdriver and drill can make a sofa for the kitchen with their own hands. And so that you don’t have any difficulties during the manufacturing process, our specialists will reveal to you in detail all the subtleties and nuances of this process.

First of all, you need to decide appearance sofa that I would like to get as a result. There is no need to overly complicate the design and introduce complex ones into it. creative elements, because not everything can be done at the proper level at home. It’s worth staying simple, but convenient option, which will delight you and your guests.

A standard sofa should have a frame supported by legs, you can also use roller mechanisms. The design with folding seats gives access to niches that can be used as drawers. At the same stage, you need to decide how soft the sofa you want, what the color scheme and upholstery material should be, so that it will be easy to clean in the future.

You need to be very careful when planning the size of your future sofa, since the dimensions must be commensurate with the space it should occupy. You should take all measurements in advance and prepare a drawing for making furniture.

If this is your first experiment in making furniture at home, then you should opt for the folding option rather than making a corner. A rectangular sofa with legs is much easier to make, and it’s much more difficult to make mistakes in sizing calculations.

The frame can be made from timber; pine wood, which is held together with screws, is better suited for this. To avoid the formation of longitudinal cracks, it is worth placing fasteners at different levels. To make the structure as strong as possible, the bars should be screwed to the corners of the frames, which have a cubic shape.

The fastening elements will be screws, since they are most convenient for fixing wooden structure. It is better to make the bottom of the sofa, as well as the seat covers, from plywood.

The standard set of furniture for arranging a dining area includes a table, a corner sofa and stools.

According to the step-by-step instructions, to make a corner sofa for the kitchen, you will need:

• Board made of birch, beech or pine 2 by 4 cm - 100 cm.
• Beam with a section of 4 by 4 cm, about 135 cm.
• The beam is 2.5 by 2.4 cm, about 365 cm.
• Beam 1.5 by 1.5 cm thick - 300 cm. For cladding back wall fiberboard sheet.
• Plywood 0.8 - 1 cm thick for the bottom and sides.
• You also need 5 cm thick foam rubber or padding polyester.
• Upholstery fabric (microfiber, tapestry, leather, nubuck and others).

To make a corner sofa for the kitchen with your own hands, prepare:

• jigsaw
• carpenter's corner
• plane
• furniture stapler
• screwdriver
• Sander
• drill
• bit
• hacksaw
• pliers
• roulette
• hammer

You will also need: confirmations, screws 0.4 by 2 cm, 0.4 by 6 cm and 0.4 by 8 cm, bolts and 0.8 cm washers, dowels, legs, hinges. If production is envisaged folding sofa do it yourself, then according to the instructions, you need a special mechanism. The drawing of the sofa for the kitchen should indicate the calculated dimensions and dimensions. In this case, your kitchen corner will fit perfectly into the dimensions of the room.

The workpieces are sanded and leveled, and only then can they be marked and sawed. Average length The corner sofa measures 120 by 90 cm, the corner insert is 45 by 45 cm, and the back height is 85.5 cm.

First, according to the drawings, the main parts of the sofa from the kitchen corner are made - these are the sides. They are made from a thick sheet of plywood. The markings are made with a pencil, and then the part of the kitchen corner sofa is cut out along the lines with a jigsaw.

The next step is to make two frames from 4 by 4 centimeter beams for both sides of the sofa. Both frames should be in the form of parallelepipeds, which are then fixed to the sidewalls. The connections at the corners should look like a mustache and a spike, which are subsequently glued. The T and L shape connections should be at a 90 degree angle.

At the corners, the connections can be with through holes or hidden, go into half of the beam, and also have one, two, or three tenons. They are secured with dowels or corners with self-tapping screws.

The frame of the corner sofa for the kitchen is connected to the back and secured on the sides. When the base is ready, you can assemble the hinged seat covers. Seats can be solid or sectional.

Frames are made from a bar 2.5 by 2.5 centimeters thick rectangular shape for seats. Then they are sewn up with centimeter plywood. The seats are cleaned and covered with a layer of stain and varnish. Then foam rubber is glued and the fabric is stuffed.

A piano loop is attached to the long part of the corner sofa seats. Fastening the hinged covers is done at the end of the work. The corner module is assembled in the same way. A frame is made from a 4 by 4 centimeter block. The profile should be triangular in shape and have sides at angles of 45 and 90 degrees. The module is covered with plywood.

The assembled two parts of the sofas and the corner module are sanded. Open wooden elements are opened with stain and, accordingly, on top with three layers of varnish. All parts are placed on the sofa legs and fastened together. The connection takes place using screws to the frame support. There must be at least 8 legs.

Structural details are adjusted when adjusting the height of the legs. Marks are made in the places of future fastening. Holes for bolts with a diameter of 0.8 centimeters are drilled. Bolts and washers for them should have wide margins. There should be twice as many washers as there are bolts, so that one goes under the bolt and the other goes under the nut.

The upholstery fabric depends on the proximity of the sofa to the stove and sink. The surface should be easy to clean and not exposed to chemicals.

For a small-sized sofa, 5 cm foam rubber is suitable. For a semi-soft corner bigger size, the padding is taken from padding polyester. Foam rubber or padding polyester is glued to the back with glue. The fabric is cut out according to patterns and stapled to the back of the back, as well as at the junction of the back with the seat. The material is stretched and securely fastened at the corners.
