17 kitchen design ideas with photos
Idea 1. Discreet interior with golden details
If the interior of your kitchen is tastefully decorated, but it lacks something for a wow effect, then it might be worth adding some gold to it. However, not necessarily gold. Bronze, brass, copper parts will work even better.
Our advice: The main condition for success is that the decor should not be too elegant, colorful, with an abundance of gloss, and there should be very few golden accents. For example, it can be: lamps, headset handles, faucets, picture frames, table accessories.
If you are equipping a kitchen from scratch and have doubts about choosing a color scheme, then we recommend choosing a simple and win-win scheme: gold details + furniture and walls in neutral shades (gray, milky, beige).

Idea 2. Monochrome white kitchen - simple and stylish
When the walls, floor and kitchen set are white, the boundaries of space seem to disappear and even the smallest kitchen begins to seem spacious, filled with light and air. By the way, white surfaces are not at all easily soiled and require the same maintenance as surfaces of any other color. Moreover, they are much more practical than dark materials and even the biggest mess on a light background looks less annoying.
Our advice: In order for a monochrome white interior not to resemble a hospital ward, you need to use a lot of “contrasting” textures and materials. White brick, gloss, glass, white wood, ceramics, textiles and stucco - all this will make the kitchen cozy and stylish, not sterile and boring.
Idea 3. Kitchen design in pastel colors
Pastel kitchens are good because they look more original than white, beige or gray, make the interior cheerful and cozy. At the same time, the whitewashed colors of the walls / furniture do not overload the space, do not absorb light, they are quite practical and versatile - they can be used in a small kitchen, and in a large one, and in a modern setting, and in a classic one. Here is a selection of photos of kitchens in bright colors.

Idea 4. Kitchen design with partially wooden facades
One of the trends of 2019 is a white-wooden suite. Such a kitchen design can be a compromise between traditional and modern trends, the interior will turn out to be practical and elegant at the same time.
Our advice:
- In the design of a kitchen of a small area, white color should prevail rather than wood;
- If you want the kitchen to be as unpretentious as possible in maintenance, then the lower facades should be made of wood;
- The more textured the wood, the better.
Below are photos of kitchens with white and wooden facades.
Idea 5. Gray kitchen
Gray is a more fashionable and practical replacement for white or beige. It is ideal for both kitchen and wall decoration. Shades of gray have a lot of advantages: they are practical, combined with all colors, balance the abundance of decor and bright colors in the interior, and generally ennoble the design of the kitchen. In addition, gray walls and furniture have the ability to look equally good in both artificial and natural light.

Idea 6. Kitchen design in white and yellow tones
A white interior with yellow accents is the perfect solution for dark Nordic kitchens. The fact is that yellow shades can replace sunlight and act on households as an antidepressant and energy drink. The main thing is not to overdo it with the dosage, since in large volumes this color can irritate. In this selection of photos you can see photo examples of kitchen design with yellow walls.
Idea 7. Russian style kitchen
The conditional "Russian style" of the interior can be different, for example, country, Soviet, manor or old Moscow. Choose the direction closest to you, carefully consider the color scheme, use only natural materials whenever possible and try not to overdo it with prints, decor and color. If everything is done correctly, the interior of the Russian-style kitchen will turn out to be very cozy and stylish.
And here is a selection of photo examples of the design of the dining area in the Russian style.
Our tip: Sometimes a couple of iconic accessories or decor items are enough to create the right mood. For example, a samovar, a Gzhel collection or Zhostovo trays can be included in the design of the kitchen, as in the photo below.
Idea 8. Colorful tiles on the floor and / or in the backsplash
Variegated tiles (metlakh tiles, azulejos, oriental and Russian tiles), despite their brightness, are quite versatile. It fits into both classic and modern interiors, looks good both in flooring and backsplash, both in the design of a small kitchen and a spacious one. So, for example, in a small kitchen, tiles with patterns, attracting glances at themselves, distract them from the tightness of the room, and in a large room, they bring a feeling of comfort to the interior.

Our advice:
- Motley tiles look best in a monochrome interior, with walls/furniture in subdued hues.
- If your apron/floor is already finished with conventional ceramic tiles, then you can paint it using special stencils and chalk paints, for example, from Daria Geiler. You can see an example in the photo below. alterations of facades and apron with just paint and stencils.
Idea 9. Kitchen with a window sill-bar
If you are planning a kitchen design from scratch, then you should consider the idea of converting a window sill into a breakfast bar. In a large kitchen-dining room or in the presence of a separate dining room, the bar counter can play the role of a breakfast and snack table, and in a small kitchen it will become a compact replacement for a dining table, saving space for the work area and storage system. Here are some photos of kitchen interiors with window sills.
Idea 10. Magnetic slate wall
Magnetic slate wall can not only look cool in the interior of the kitchen, but also bring practical benefits. It is convenient to leave notes for household members, write recipes, grocery and to-do lists, as well as attach magnetic shelves, hooks and spice containers.
Our advice: If you want to make a chalk wall thoroughly and permanently, then it is better to use either a ready-made magnetic slate board or slate paint. If the slate surface is needed only for a year or two, then the wall should be decorated with self-adhesive chalk wallpaper - they are inexpensive, easy to glue and peel off.
With a chalk wall, you won't have to worry about children's drawings on the walls.
An apron can also be slate.
Idea 11. Mirrors
The most effective way to visually enlarge a space and brighten it up is to hang a large mirror on the wall. The main thing is that it be hardened or plastic (it's safer) and fixed away from the stove and sink (it's more practical).
Our advice: Hanging a mirror in front of a window can increase the lighting and create the illusion of a second window.

Idea 12. Kitchen with a sofa
A small sofa will allow you to comfortably watch TV in the kitchen, arrange cozy gatherings with friends and, if necessary, accommodate guests.

If you want to give the kitchen a more formal look, use an elegant bench or ottoman.
Our advice: If the kitchen is small, then the sofa can be replaced with a bench or a kitchen nook with built-in storage boxes, as in these photos.
Idea 13. Transparent furniture
Another super trick for small kitchen design is the use of transparent furniture. Tables and chairs made of polycarbonate look very stylish, they are quite wear-resistant and practical, and most importantly, they do not clutter up the space.
Idea 14. The focus is on the dining table
We often arrange the dining area in the kitchen so that it is first of all comfortable, roomy and practical. But why not give it a more formal look? After all, this is possible regardless of the area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen and the size of the table. It is only necessary: visually or physically separate the dining room from the working area, illuminate the table with wall sconces, a lampshade or a beautiful chandelier and decorate it with accessories.

Idea 15. Kitchen set to match the walls
When the color of the walls and facades of the headset match, it seems that there is no furniture in the kitchen at all. This technique is good to use not only in small rooms, but also in the case of
What should be the interior design of the kitchen? First of all, comfortable, ergonomic, thought out in detail. Interior design at a high level requires an infusion of significant funds and time resources. Repair begins with the creation of a design project, drawn by hand or in a special program. The kitchen, as a complex object for design, needs a preliminary interior design, perhaps more than other rooms, with the possible exception of the bathroom.
Do not limit yourself to thinking through the design in your head, be sure to transfer your thoughts to a piece of paper, correlate ideas with the actual dimensions of the kitchen. Here, some inconsistencies and difficulties in translating design ideas may come to the surface.
Features of kitchen renovation
When planning the interior of the kitchen, it is not enough to decide on the decor and arrangement of objects in terms of comfort. There are a number of factors that either will not allow to implement the design project in all its details, or this will require much more effort, financial resources and time than planned. It must be remembered that drawing up a kitchen design project is not only a creative process, but also engineering work.
Factors that complicate the design of interior design:
- Bearing walls. Not in all cases, it is possible to expand a small kitchen by combining it with a living room. Sometimes you have to be content with the available square meters.
- Low ceiling. This detail can correct your tasks. It will be necessary to think over how to visually solve this problem. In addition, complex ceiling structures are not your case.
- Availability of sewerage and water supply. The location of the kitchen sink is tied to the sewerage and water supply, if you want to move it, then additional plumbing work will be required.
- A large number of electrical appliances that require power supplied to predetermined locations. Each switch and each outlet must be located in strictly defined places.
- High humidity. Good ventilation is required so that the climate in the kitchen is always comfortable.
- Gas appliances. As you know, by law, the kitchen cannot be combined with the living room if a gas stove is installed there. Combining is possible only when replacing a gas stove with an electric one or installing a light partition.
- Changes in temperature and evaporation of fats. This factor influences the choice of finishing materials. They must be waterproof and washable.

Much in the design depends on the initial dimensions of the room:

Standard kitchen (about 10 m2). It is believed that the premises of such an area are quite convenient, especially if there is an exit to the balcony. In such a kitchen there is enough space to accommodate all the necessary interior elements: household appliances and furniture. However, one should not strive to embrace the immensity, it is better to refuse something, for example, dimensional furniture, a large number of cabinets and shelves. Of great importance is the shape of the kitchen: rectangular or square. In a square kitchen, an island area would be appropriate, which can play the role of a dining or working area. There is no space in the narrow kitchen of the island zone; it is quite difficult to place a dining table. The best option is by the window. Due to the difficulty in placing the dining area, some resort to redevelopment - combining the kitchen and living room. |

When preparing an interior design project for a small kitchen, you will have to think carefully. In a limited space it is difficult to combine aesthetics and functionality. You will have to pay a lot of attention to the choice of color and decor. Such an object requires a separate detailed consideration. We will return to the conversation about the small kitchen. |
When designing the interior of a kitchen of any size, one must strive for ergonomics. The basis of the kitchen design project is the working triangle: stove, sink, refrigerator. These three items should be close to each other.

Colors and their combinations in the interior of the kitchen
It is known that colors affect the psyche and well-being of a person. They can both cheer up and calm, improve mood or depress. It is extremely important what color your kitchen is decorated in. Indeed, in this zone they not only often spend time, but also eat, which means that the color design will affect not only the psychological state, but also the physiological functions of the body.
10 colors
|
Psychologists are not in vain advised to avoid a lot of red in the bedroom. This color has an exciting effect on the nervous system and does not allow you to relax. It will work the same way in the kitchen. On the one hand, the household will have a good appetite, the atmosphere will seem cheerful, on the other hand, a long stay in such an interior provokes headaches and nervous tension in susceptible people. Suitable for extroverts, but introverts in a red kitchen will feel uncomfortable. Also, keep in mind that the abundance of red increases blood pressure. It should not be used in small kitchens, as this color visually brings objects closer and heavier. Often combined with white, gray, black colors. |
|
The color of energy, positive and comfort. Pairs well with calmer colors. It, like the red color, increases objects, but at the same time they do not seem bulky. Great for larger than average kitchens located on the north side. In the interior of the kitchen, combinations with white, black, milky, brown, blue and green colors are used. |
|
A cheerful color that literally glows from within and makes the kitchen sunny. In terms of its effect on a person, yellow is similar to red. It's best to use it in limited amounts, as it tends to get annoying. It is known that yellow goes well with its neighbors in the palette: orange, red, green. A successful combination of lemon yellow and turquoise, yellow and brown, purple. |
|
If you want to create a feeling of freshness in the kitchen, then this is what you need. Green can both invigorate and soothe. Green has many shades: muted, with a yellow or bluish tint, with which you can create different moods. It is combined with white, gray, beige, brown, orange and pink. |
|
Blue/cyan. Blue is an elegant and strict color. However, you have to be careful with it. Despite the fact that this color has a positive effect on blood pressure, normalizing it, calms and drives away stress, it, unlike red, orange, yellow, depresses appetite. In addition, when used in large quantities, it causes melancholy and depression. To avoid negative influence, blue should be combined with warm shades, for example, beige, bronze, orange. However, you can pick up light and airy shades of blue or aquamarine. In general, the blue color gives depth to the space and seems to push the walls apart. |
|
Purple/lilac. A bold decision for the kitchen. Each shade of purple, and there are many of them, is perceived differently in the interior. This is the color that requires good lighting, so you should take care of a sufficient number of sources of natural and artificial light. Dark shades of purple give a bohemian look to the room, lilac calms. Remember that shades of purple do not blend well with each other, but they harmonize well with white, gray, olive, chocolate. This color should not be used in small rooms. |
|
The white interior has both advantages and disadvantages. As for the pros, the white kitchen looks larger than its actual size. With the help of white, you can create a simple or sophisticated interior in the style of high-tech, minimalism, classic, Scandinavian. But such a kitchen is too easily soiled, you will have to clean up very often. A white kitchen is a clean canvas that can be embellished with bright accents. This color goes well with all others. |
|
You have to be extremely careful with this color, which is probably why black is used in design not too often, mainly in modern interiors in the style of minimalism, hi-tech. Especially controversial is its choice as the main one for the kitchen. There can be a lot of black color if, for example, the facades of the kitchen are made in black, or it can be introduced into the interior in separate patches. Black can be depressing, especially when complementary colors are chosen incorrectly. It, like white, is combined with all colors, but most often it is combined with light ones: with white, light gray, milky, beige. An important condition is good lighting. |
|
Gray has many shades: one can be warm, the other cold. The overall impression will depend on the texture of the surface and on other colors present in the interior that will shade the gray. Be careful, a gray interior can easily be made gloomy. In a gray kitchen, the decor of bronze, gold and silver colors will look great. |
|
Beige/brown. If you use predominantly beige and brown colors in the interior of the kitchen, then it will turn out to be cozy and “warm”. Beige combines the best features of white and yellow and is devoid of their shortcomings. Like white, beige visually expands the space and invigorates like yellow. At the same time, the interior, made in beige, is not too easily soiled and does not irritate visually. Brown and beige are suitable for interior design in a classic style, country and Provence styles. |
Having thought over the design project, having verified the colors of the future interior and the arrangement of furniture, try not to deviate from your plan even a single step. Otherwise, the end result may be disappointing.

Kitchen interior styles
We have already touched on the topic of choosing the main color of the interior, now let's deal with the style directions of the kitchen interior. The features of the most popular styles will be noted, but this does not mean that the kitchen cannot be decorated in accordance with other styles. Below you can read more about the features of interiors in styles:
- country,
- provence,
- modern,
- ethno,
- classic,
- Art Deco.
But the scope of fantasy is not limited to them. You may well choose loft, hi-tech, minimalism, Scandinavian style, contemporary or other styles.
Country style
Country style and rustic style are one and the same. It is characterized by attention to detail, because it is they who form the country style. A distinctive feature is the environmental friendliness of materials.
Style Features:
- Massive and somewhat rough wooden kitchen set, specially aged, as well as wicker and wrought iron furniture.
- Calm natural colors, such as the color of wood.
- Using bright colors only as accents.
- The use of untreated wood.
- Ceiling beams.
- Finishing with brick, stone, plaster, wallpaper with a small unobtrusive pattern - floral. There may be porcelain tiles on the floor.
- Clay, copper and wooden utensils hung on the walls or placed on open shelves as decoration. In the same neighborhood you can place jars of cereals, all kinds of boxes, wicker baskets.
- Natural handmade textiles - two-color or patchwork, crafts.
- Forged chandelier is a frequent attribute of style.
- Warm artificial lighting.
The main thing in country style is comfort and coziness. In general, country style is designed to recreate the atmosphere of a village hut.
Classic style
A predictable choice for conservatives. The classic style never gets old, it looks great in a large kitchen space, although exceptions are possible. Emphatically respectable and solid. The linear arrangement of the headset is characteristic. In a classic interior, there should be no plastic elements, if it is not an imitation of natural materials.
Characteristic:
- columns and arches
- massive furniture,
- clear lines and shapes,
- antiques,
- drapery,
- stucco,
- warm tones,
- natural textiles.
An almost obligatory detail of the interior should be a classic chandelier, perhaps even a crystal one. Spot lighting must be carefully considered if you do not want to completely abandon it.
Traditionally, expensive finishing materials are used, such as precious woods, stone. In order to reduce the cost of repairs, imitations of these materials are used.
The colors of the classic interior: everything in the range from white to brown, as well as gold, green, terracotta, light pink or blue.
art deco style
Luxurious style. And it's not just appearance. Decorating a kitchen in the art deco style can only be afforded by wealthy people, as furniture in this style will be expensive. Art Deco style literally screams wealth. The combination of the incongruous, eclecticism is characteristic: the interweaving of classical forms with technical innovations and modern design finds. This is a mixture of elements of empire, ethno, modern, oriental style.
Style Features:
- Valuable wood species, in particular wenge.
- A natural stone.
- Decor in the form of black and white photographs, mirrors or paintings in gilded frames. It will not be bad manners to combine stucco, gold trim with a chrome oven or glass-ceramic hob. What can I say, even a bar counter in such an interior will be in place.
- Along with the beige-brown range, lilac and purple colors, dark shades of red, as well as white and black can be used.
- You can not combine silver and gold shades in the same interior. Blue, green and orange colors are not used.
- natural materials.
- Streamlined furniture.
Provence style
This style is also called French country. It's not a mistake. Provence is the rustic style of French Provence. And Provence cannot but echo country. It is also characterized by:
- open shelves filled with dishes and jars, jugs, vases with bunches of herbs, in particular lavender, cockerel figurines. The walls can be decorated with beautiful plates.
- an abundance of wicker, forged, copper, lace, embroidered.
- aged furniture,
- textiles with a floral or checkered pattern.
The difference is manifested in the chosen color scheme. If the country is characterized by shades of natural wood, sometimes dark, then in the interior, decorated in the Provencal style, light pastel shades should be used, if the wood is bleached. The predominant color is often beige, blue or olive, but the kitchen can be white, gray or sandy. Now, however, they are moving away from pastel colors and, for example, blue or dark olive is allowed. Violet, bright yellow can be used as accents.
- For wall decoration, plaster, brick, wood, paint are used. Wallpaper is used extremely rarely and locally. Kitchen facades are often decorated with carvings, stained-glass windows, panels, decoupage, craquelure. A characteristic feature are wooden chairs with upholstered seats with drawstrings.
- All technology that looks modern should be hidden from view. You can purchase "household assistants", the body of which is made in the Provencal style. Many manufacturers make these.
- The countertop and apron are often tiled.
- Full compliance can be achieved by placing flowering plants on stands and on window sills; cuckoo clock on the wall; hanging herbs from the ceiling.
Everything in the interior of Provence should breathe hospitality.
Ethno style
The ethnic style is varied. The color scheme and decor elements - that's what creates the desired picture. They will depend on which ethnic culture is chosen. In the kitchen, it is quite possible to create a corner of Japan, Morocco, Africa.
When creating an African interior, kitchens use shades of brown, rare wood such as wenge and zebrano, animal prints, figures of black people. An apron with the image of the African savannah will look great. The Moroccan style, which also belongs to the African style, is rich in details. A distinctive feature is small geometric patterns in which several colors are intertwined. The apron is often laid out with ceramic tiles with this pattern.
The Japanese style is restrained and simple. It is recreated using light rice paper partitions. Bonsai can grow in pots. The walls can be decorated with hieroglyphs, fans, put a large vase with ikebana in the corner. Chandelier lampshade can be made from wood or rice paper. Choose dark brown, red, beige colors.
Indian style is Buddhist figurines, batik, silk. The colors used are bright, botanical. Characterized by rounded lines, small and large pillows, multi-layered curtains. The floor can be made of porcelain stoneware or ceramic tiles with an ethnic pattern. Despite the fact that we are talking about the interior of the kitchen, a carpet will also be appropriate here.
Modern style
Suitable for young and energetic people. This style is concise and devoid of pretentious details. Emphasis is placed on convenience and technical progress, so the interior looks futuristic.
Characteristic:
- Functionality of all elements.
- Smooth and glossy surfaces, in particular kitchen fronts.
- The abundance of plastic and metal, glass. Wood may be used.
- The apron can be made of glass mosaic or glass panel with photo printing.
- Modular furniture.
As for colors, Art Nouveau is patient with the most unpredictable contrasting combinations.
Often this is an interior characterized by the severity of lines and simplicity of forms. The main attention in the kitchen should be directed to the kitchen set.
If you turn to professional designers for a design project, the cost of the project will also depend on the chosen style direction. Eclecticism will cost more than classics.
Small kitchen interior
Small kitchens are not at all a relic of the past. It seems that only Khrushchev houses were “equipped” with small kitchens, but this is not at all true. In some new buildings today, kitchens are also small, so tips on interior design for a small kitchen will be relevant for a long time to come.
- In a small kitchen, you can embody any style that allows the use of light shades. In particular, these are Provence and country, hi-tech, classic style, Scandinavian, minimalism.
- Try to avoid sharp corners and bulky furniture. Choose built-in furniture, small models of appliances.
- Remember that with the help of mirror surfaces it will be possible to expand the space.
- The table can be replaced by a bar counter. In addition, it can be reclining.
- Use the windowsill as a work surface or move the sink there. A multicooker, microwave or food processor can find their place on the windowsill.
- Arrange good lighting.
More ideas for design appear if the small kitchen has access to the balcony. Its space is used in a variety of ways. The insulated balcony can become a winter garden, a continuation of the kitchen, where the dining area will be located; uninsulated - a place for summer recreation, a refrigerator in the winter. The door to the insulated balcony in a small kitchen is best replaced with a sliding version or French glazing. Instead of a balcony block, a bar counter can be installed.
The main requirements for the interior of a small kitchen: functionality, practicality. For example, hanging cabinets can be very high, up to the ceiling.
Video: how to choose furniture for a small kitchen
How to remake a refrigerator under a window in Khrushchev
The locker under the window in Khrushchev is not in vain called a refrigerator. In winter, perishable products can be stored there. When remodeling the kitchen, you need to do something with the refrigerator:
- Leave it as it is, for its intended use - it will be necessary to replace the doors with more presentable ones and corresponding to the style of the interior; consider how best to insulate the refrigerator so that the cold does not penetrate the room.
- Make an ordinary locker, which is especially important if the window sill will act as a work surface. By the way, some equipment, for example, a washing machine, can be located in a niche. In this case, the refrigerator is insulated.
- Lay it completely, removing the niche or making it small, about 15 cm deep. It is best to move the heating radiator there so that it functions as efficiently as possible.
- Dismantle a thin wall and make glazing to the floor - the kitchen will be very bright.
10 kitchen design mistakes and shortcomings
When designing a kitchen design, try to avoid the mistakes listed below, or be prepared for the fact that failure to follow the recommendations will complicate the cleaning in the kitchen or the process of moving around.
|
linear arrangement. If the kitchen has a long wall, then many people prefer to place all the furniture, including the refrigerator, along this wall. This is a mistake, because the working triangle is called a triangle because its three components must be located in different angles. Linear arrangement is relevant only in small kitchens. If the kitchen is quite large and long, imagine how many times you have to go from one end to the other in the process of cooking, it is much easier to place one of the elements against the opposite wall or as an island, then it will only be enough to turn around. |
|
No work surface between stove and sink or refrigerator. After the dishes are washed, they must be left somewhere to dry; when cooking, put spatulas, spoons, lids from pots or pans on the work surface, and finally, food. Without a work surface it will be very inconvenient. |
|
narrow space. Between the kitchen unit and the island; kitchen set placed on two sides; either a headset and a dining table or a bar counter must have a distance of at least 120 cm. |
|
Only central lighting. In the kitchen, there must be an illumination of the working area, if only because you block the light from the chandelier while cooking or washing dishes. |
|
Glossy facades and wooden floors. Such surfaces quickly become dirty and lose their attractive appearance. |
|
Marble surfaces. Keep in mind that marble is a porous material, and this can play a trick, for example, coloring products spilled on a marble countertop or marble floor will leave a stubborn stain. |
|
Built-in appliances too low or too high. Again, it's a matter of comfort. All built-in appliances should be located at the level of the belt, because it will not be possible to rearrange it, placing it more conveniently. |
|
No space for small appliances. Almost no one can do without household helpers in the kitchen. Provide free space for household appliances: a multicooker, a blender, a coffee maker, a food processor and other things, even if these appliances are not available now. Perhaps in the future you will want to buy something. |
|
Open shelves instead of wall cabinets. Many styles allow open shelves in the kitchen. However, there is a great risk that over time they will be littered with unnecessary and by no means decorative items. If you decide on open shelves, then at least leave enough storage space in the lower cabinets. |
|
Wide and deep drawers. Another detail that is often overlooked when trying to provide as much space as possible to store everything you need and not so much. At first glance, it seems that wide and deep drawers are functional. Yes, they will allow much to be hidden in their bowels, but how heavy they will be - think about it. |
Photos of kitchen interiors
Cooking is a creative process, for which an environment conducive to the creation of culinary delights is important. A well-thought-out kitchen interior design will inspire you to build masterpieces from available products. A cozy atmosphere will be conducive to joint meals.
Style, functionality and beauty are the principles behind the ideal kitchen space. Their harmonious combination will give the room the necessary comfort. Therefore, the choice of interior design project requires a careful approach.
Kitchen layout features
Style is the first thing to decide. This takes into account the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the number of residents.
There are many ready-made kitchen interior projects, but when choosing an option, you should take into account all the nuances.
Design for small spaces
A small space is not an obstacle to creating a stylish design. Even a 4 m2 kitchen can be made comfortable. A small room should be functional. It is worth deciding whether this place will only be for cooking or also a dining area.
The room can be expanded by combining it with a living room or a loggia. In this case, the eating sector is located outside the kitchen, which increases the working space.
Any redevelopment option is coordinated with the relevant services.
If such a solution is not possible, then all attention is paid to the proper arrangement of furniture.
The arrangement depends on the size of the kitchen and happens:
- Straight - objects are located on the same line. At the same time, the distance between the stove and the refrigerator should be at least 15 cm. It is optimal to distinguish between them with a bedside table. This layout of the interior of the room will free up more space and place a dining table in the kitchen.
Expert opinion
Olga Kovalenko
Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.
Using dark green in the design of the kitchen is not a good idea.
Red
This color is beautiful, but its excess can cause irritation and fatigue. When applying, it is important to choose the right combination with other shades. Red combines well with white, black or gray. Looks great as a bright accent in a high-tech kitchen.
Red stimulates appetite and stimulates brain activity. Adds a festive atmosphere to the room. But it must be carefully used in small kitchens, as this color has the ability to visually enlarge objects.
The interior of the apartment can be completely different. It depends on the number of rooms, the presence of a balcony, the type of bathroom (combined or separate) and other factors. However, absolutely all apartments have one thing in common - the kitchen, and it should be given special attention.
The kitchen is the place around which the whole life in the apartment revolves, because here they not only prepare food or store food, but also eat. Moreover, it is the kitchen that becomes a place of gatherings, communication of relatives and friends at one large table. It is for this reason that the kitchen should combine such qualities as practicality, comfort and, of course, modern style.
In 2018, functional kitchens with a variety of styles will become especially interesting. The main advantage will be originality and ergonomics, capable of reflecting the personality of the household.
Fashion trends
The main slogan of 2018 is a combination of eco-friendly, natural elements of a restrained style. The kitchen is especially interesting if it is spacious, it is better to give preference to conciseness. Massive furniture and a lot of decor are out of place here.
Finishing materials relevant in 2018: ceramics, natural stone and wood, glass and metal. The only thing you don’t have to save on is household appliances: you can use an oven, integrated surfaces, a refrigerator, a microwave oven and other items that are relevant now and meet modern technical requirements.
