If you are thinking of renovating the kitchen, then Special attention must be given to the kitchen unit.

When choosing, pay attention to its functionality. When contacting a professional designer, you should not worry about his work.

He will professionally choose the color for you kitchen set, size and functionality.

Today, not everyone can afford a designer to renovate their home, so you have to learn everything yourself. The Internet can help with this, photos of kitchen sets can be found there a large number of.

If you nevertheless decide on independent choice headset for the kitchen, then you should pay attention to some points:

Assembly. Depends on the manufacturer. Expensive Italian furniture is initially delivered to us assembled.

A medium-sized kitchen set is brought here disassembled, and the assembly takes place at a subsidiary, and only then comes to the customer in assembled form.

A cheap set will be delivered to the customer disassembled and assembled on site.

Manufacturers disclaim responsibility for improper assembly of furniture, therefore we strongly recommend contacting specially trained people.

Dimensions. It must be borne in mind that both the functionality and the general appearance of the kitchen are many different modules, from which the built-in kitchen set is assembled, exactly the one that you need.

Modules of ordered furniture should fit perfectly into the dimensions of your kitchen and not leave gaps between walls and furniture.

If you have built-in appliances in your plans, then first pay special attention to it, so that in the future you do not have to choose electrical appliances according to the size of the cabinets, and not functionality.

All headsets, regardless of the constituent modules, have elements that are similar in functionality, as a rule, they are located along the lines:

Bottom line. In most cases, this includes cabinets for storing bulky and heavy dishes. In such cabinets, it is best to use storage boxes.

Since the opening door may not be convenient for small room, and the doors, according to the principle of a compartment, must have space in the adjacent module for movement.

Middle line. It includes surfaces that are directly used in cooking. Such as an apron, gas stove, worktop and everything else that can be attributed here.

Top line. Here, lockers are used to store items of kitchen use - essential items, such as seasonings. Most often they are made smaller and it is better for them to open vertically.

Many people use shelves without doors for more free space, but it is necessary to maintain a constant order in such shelves.

Vertical lines. Most often they are provided by cabinets for connecting the top and bottom lines. Built-in appliances will get along very well in this department, be it a refrigerator or an oven.

But it should be borne in mind that in a small kitchen set, it will not look, nevertheless, it is more suitable for large kitchens.

Kitchen set materials and their elements

Facades. First of all, you need to pay attention to the facades of the kitchen set, since they are the first thing that catches your eye in the kitchen, their cost is also not small.

Please note that the more original you choose the facade, the more it will cost you. The materials from which the facades are made:

  • Wood
  • Glass, in most cases, is used in upper cabinets, as it gives lightness to everything
  • headset.
  • Metal
  • Particleboard / MDF

If the design of your kitchen set includes a lot of decor, then get ready to pay for it. But don't forget about hygiene.

Table top. Its durability and functionality depends primarily on the material from which it is made.

Laminated chipboard, the shelf life will be 5 years, and you should pay special attention to the joints so that they do not diverge and water does not get there. This will cause bacteria to multiply and the countertop will rot.

Table top made of stone materials, more practical, but experts advise against putting hot dishes on it.

Stainless steel can also be a material for a countertop, but it will not fit into any interior.

Closet. It should be borne in mind that cabinets with shelves without doors will cost significantly less.

When assembled correctly, the ends of the headset are not visible, but if it suddenly happened that it was not possible to hide, then you can hide them with special cabinets - pencil cases.

Layout

When planning a kitchen set, you need to take into account the area of ​​your kitchen and the features of its layout. There are several main options:

  • Linear. They are comfortable in elongated kitchens.
  • L-shaped. With this layout, all functional areas are close at hand. Be sure to take into account the moments of opening the doors and drawers, so that they interfere with each other to a minimum.
  • U-shaped. The entire kitchen space will be a work area.
  • Ostrovnaya. Such a kitchen should not be used in small kitchens.

If your kitchen is small, then use small kitchen sets in white tones.

For many, the kitchen is a favorite place in the house, where you can create exquisite culinary masterpieces, taste them or just spend time with loved ones. To do this, you need to create the most comfortable atmosphere, having thought out not only the decorative, but also the practical component of the interior. The main trends, rules and tips for decorating kitchen design are all in our article!

Choosing an interior style

The first step in designing a kitchen is choosing a basic style. Even if you want to create a unique, unlike other project, you must adhere to the laws of a certain design direction... Otherwise, the interior will look ridiculous, ill-considered and disharmonious. But each style offers a wide field for creativity, the main thing is to follow the basic recommendations.

The key principle of style lies in the name: high-tech is high tech, the use of which is indispensable in a modern interior. That is why hi-tech is an excellent option for the kitchen, where comfort and ease of use household appliances come first.

For decoration and furniture, modern materials are taken, such as plastic, glass or metal. Glossy smooth surfaces give the room a slightly futuristic look. Color palette- restrained, often based on the contrast of dark and light.

It is difficult to imagine a high-tech kitchen design without smart fittings: all kinds of lifts, drawers, dividers that simplify life and rationalize space.

Buying household appliances can cost a pretty penny, since preference is given to built-in, most modern models with touch control and LED screens. However, this is not a pointless purchase, but a contribution to comfort and durability.

Despite the development of technology and the trend towards rationalization of space, classic style is still popular. Sure, it comes not about traditional pompous aristocratic interiors filled with beautiful but useless decor. The classics adapt to the needs of our time, thanks to which they look quite modern.

Design in this style better kitchen with middle and large area where it will look most appropriate. You can take a dark or light palette, only the shades should be as natural as possible. The same rule applies to finishing materials. Wooden furniture with a deep texture, a small number of patterned elements, facades with frames and glass doors - these components are enough for the artistic filling of a classic interior.

The style of French villages in the space of city apartments is rarely found in a "pure" form. It is usually combined with modern classics, and they tend to combine the kitchen with the dining room and living room. This is due to the first rule of Provence - as much space as possible.

The second thing that catches your eye is light pastel shades, as if burnt out in the hot Mediterranean sun. Preference is given to white, cream, blue - the most natural and unobtrusive colors.

Furniture should have an antique look, which is achieved using the effect of artificial aging. Natural materials or high-quality substitutes are in priority that cannot spoil the authentic atmosphere.

The kitchen set includes a large number of open shelves displaying crockery, pots and napkins that add to the Provencal charm. But it is better to hide household appliances from prying eyes, which built-in models will perfectly cope with.

Unlike the previous solution, minimalism can be incorporated into both spacious apartments and small Khrushchev apartments. This style is able to transform any space with an emphasis on functionality.

Clean lines and clear forms of laconic furniture with built-in household appliances as if they form a monolithic plane - this is how minimalism creates a sense of order and cleanliness, which is important in the interior of the kitchen. The main focus is not on decorative elements, but on functionality that allows you to competently organize the area.

Here, no more than 2-3 shades are used, one of which can be bright. In general, preference should be given to neutral colors or the aesthetic texture of natural materials.

An excellent solution for kitchens in which the sun has become too frequent a guest due to the south-facing windows. Scandinavian frosty, but very cozy, this style will fit for interiors of all sizes.

As in the case of minimalism, here design is secondary - practicality comes first. Such cuisines love White color, natural materials, especially wood, as well as strict forms. If someone Scandinavian style seems too simple, then it would be appropriate to add a few bright details that dilute a little sterile atmosphere.

Color solutions

Whatever style you adhere to to make the room look modern, it is recommended to use a color scheme with 2-3 shades that are in good harmony with each other, or to stay on a monochromatic design.

White kitchen

Perhaps the best option for kitchen design, which can serve as a primary color or a neutral background for others. It is believed that light interior quickly gets dirty, but it also depends on the material of the surfaces. On the other hand, it looks the most spacious, comfortable, and also has a positive effect on the psyche.

Gray kitchen

Do not think that the interior of the kitchen is gray tones looks boring or gloomy, on the contrary - it is very stylish and modern. To avoid a negative effect, it is enough to come up with a good color combination, for example, with white, black, blue shades.

Beige kitchen

Natural options, such as cream, walnut or light wood shades, are perfect for classic, Provencal, as well as minimalistic kitchen designs. The monochrome design will help create a cozy and warm atmosphere.

Blue kitchen

Evoking associations with the sky and the sea Blue colour perfect for a peaceful interior. Better to use when decorating facades kitchen furniture combining with white or brown.

Green kitchen

If you follow modern trends, then be sure to find a place in your kitchen for the most fashionable shade of 2017 according to Pantone. It will bring you a little closer to nature, even in an urban environment.

Kitchen decoration

The decoration of any room is like a frame that carefully preserves the "filling" and emphasizes its beauty. In the case of the kitchen, the choice of materials plays key role especially if you want it to last as long as possible.

Floor

Kitchen flooring should be free from grease, food particles and moisture. It is from this, first of all, that one should make a start when selecting materials.

An excellent solution is a combination of coating in different zones... For example, in the work area you can put ceramic tiles, which is resistant to external influences, and in the dining room - parquet or laminate.

Walls

In kitchen interiors, ceramic tiles are most often found in the apron area, as well as painted or wallpapered walls. In addition, cladding with wall panels and decorative plaster, for example - imitating marble.

The combination of finishing materials allows not only to diversify the design, but also to arrange it according to the principle of functionality. Plain surfaces remain in priority.

Ceiling

The choice of materials for finishing the ceiling in the kitchen depends on the style or height of the room. If the latter indicator is low enough, then an even white coating will be a way out. What's more, it looks stylish and fits any space.

In a modern interior with high walls, you can install stretch ceiling... They also help organize a complex lighting system.

How to choose furniture and household appliances

This choice directly depends on your needs: someone spends in the kitchen most my life, preparing breakfasts, lunches and dinners for a big family; and someone comes in once a day to warm up purchased food in the microwave.

Modern kitchens often include more than just work area and storage space, but also a dining area - which can be just a bar counter separating the space, or a large full-fledged dining room.

In addition, kitchen sets differ in layout, which depends on the geometry and size of the room. There are corner models, U- and L-shaped, straight, as well as island. The latter are recommended to be taken in a medium or large room.

Regardless of the chosen style, kitchen furniture today is increasingly being made according to the principle of ergonomics, practicality and functionality. For instance, drawers, shelves or modular cabinets.

Household appliances built into the headset are very popular today, which allows not only to save space, but also to create an aesthetic appearance.

Others will have to use the entire usable area, including lockers and drawers, to arrange only the main items. In any case, the place for every detail needs to be thought out in advance!

Decor and lighting

In decorating any interior, the main rule always applies - do no harm. The same applies to kitchens. For example, placing too many porcelain figurines, you risk staining or overturning a fragile part at the very climax of cooking. Of course, a cozy atmosphere is very necessary here, but it can be created with the help of other expressive means.

Glass facades look aesthetically pleasing, through the doors of which sets of dishes, towels or cutlery are visible. Do not forget about traditional napkins, aprons and other textile details - they can become a bright detail in a discreet kitchen design.

Even some boxes for napkins or cute salt shakers can decorate a room beyond recognition, and flowers in a pot will refresh a high-tech interior.

Each functional area the kitchen should be fully illuminated: a work surface, a stove, a sink, a bar counter or an island, above which pendant lights can be installed.

A good solution is LED built-in light sources along kitchen apron... The hood can also be used as a support for additional luminaires.

In addition to local highlights, you need to think about general lighting... For this, traditional chandeliers or spotlights are suitable.

Firstly, it is recommended to resort to changing the layout by combining the kitchen area with the living room. The absence of boundaries will create a feeling of freedom and space, even in small room, and visually divide housing will help different types partitions.

Secondly, choose light shades and mirror surfaces... It is desirable that the color of the headset does not differ much from the finish.

Thirdly, pay attention to straight or L-shaped layouts, which will leave a little free square meters for movement. The latter option will allow you to use the often inactive area in the corner of the room.

The interior of an 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 a common feature- the kitchen, and it should be given special attention.

One of the options for organizing a place for eating is to extend the countertop of the kitchen island. Then the number of storage systems, cutting surfaces or built-in household appliances can be increased, and the dining area can be left within the kitchen space (do not take the dining segment into the living room).

Then the entire assortment will be before your eyes (you can quickly find desired ingredient), and the doors of kitchen cabinets do not have to be slammed constantly. If your jars and bottles are not transparent, then the easiest way is to use sticker-stickers on which you can write the name of the seasoning or sauce. And this technique also applies to transparent vessels - many products look very similar (it will be a shame to confuse salt and sugar, spoiling the dish, for example).

Square and rectangular containers take up less space, both on open shelves and in drawers.

For storing bottles you can use the following options coasters and shelves.

For example, an original faucet - semi-antique in brass or copper, golden or snow-white ceramic, is able not only to fulfill its functions of supplying water, but also to decorate the interior, bring originality or support the overall concept of kitchen design.

The combination of various finishing materials can become a decorative element. And this is not only about the original or striking design of the kitchen apron. For example, you can combine ceramic floor tiles or laminate or parquet flooring in the working and dining areas of the kitchen space. You can also lay out a segment with porcelain stoneware at the exit to the backyard (an option for kitchens in private houses).

Shelves and countertops made of wood that looks like it is untreated (in fact, it is impregnated with special antiseptics and covered with moisture-repellent varnishes) not only bring natural warmth to modern design kitchens, but also perform many functions.

A tee outlet that slides straight out of the countertop when needed? Nothing is impossible. Only the obvious space saving and ease of use must be planned in advance, at the stage of ordering the kitchen set and countertops to it.
