Kitchen - a reflection of the character of the hostess of the house

Photo of kitchen interiors: simple and tasteful, practical and convenient

Any professional designer will tell you that the kitchen is not a place where functionality can be sacrificed for decorativeness. First of all, everything should be convenient for use: the location of the working area and household appliances, the dining group.

Advice! The stove, sink and work table should be located in the same space, no more than a step away.

Harmony is one of the most important aspects in the design of a space. Household appliances by themselves will not make the interior of the kitchen modern, and a new-fashioned sparkling refrigerator will look like an absurd spot against the background of cabinets inherited from grandmother. Everything needs to be brought into line: floors, walls, furniture. And believe me, it is not at all necessary to order expensive sets. And inexpensive furniture can be functional and comfortable. And if you use correctly color combinations and accessories, the result will exceed expectations. If you are tired of constant cooking, change the interior, start repairs... Kitchen design, photos that can breathe new energy and desire to create culinary feats:

Designing a kitchen is like putting together a puzzle. Each item must find its place and become part of the overall design.

Note! Pay attention to the photos of the design and interior of modern kitchens. They are united by one common detail: the room should be spacious, without unnecessary partitions and cramped passages.

For a small kitchen, light, light furniture should be selected. Do not be afraid of open shelves: beautiful dishes are also decor.Particular attention should be paid to competent lighting. The working area should have high-quality illumination that is pleasing to the eye and does not change the color of the products.

Where to start a kitchen design project: photo examples

Who said that only professionals should do design? Don't be afraid to take on this task, it's not that hard! You just need to take into account a few simple rules that will help you avoid mistakes.

What should be done to prepare for interior design planning kitchen-living room:

A task	Description
Take measurements	You don't just need to measure all the walls. Calculate the distance of the window openings and their location, the height of the hood location, the dimensions of the ventilation and sewerage boxes, the location of sockets and switches. If all this is noted in advance on the project, it will be much easier. All results obtained should be reflected on paper.
Study the rules for placing household appliances and furniture	Each appliance and cabinet has its own place. The refrigerator should not stand close to the stove, the microwave should not be positioned so that splashes from the sink fall on it. And the sink must be installed so that it is possible to connect it to the water supply and sewerage system. There are other requirements that you should consider before you start designing a spread. Furniture can also be put in different ways. Decide if the kitchen set will stand along one wall or be positioned with the letter G.
Select lighting	Cold light will visually expand the space, while lighting in the warm spectrum will make it more comfortable. It is best to place recessed lights above the workspace, and a chandelier above the dining area. Designers recommend not placing more than three types of lighting in the kitchen. Consider the location of electrical outlets when planning the placement of your fixtures.
Decide on building materials	Kitchen finishing materials must be resistant to heat and steam. It is important that surfaces can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water. The floors should not have a raised surface. If you plan to paint the walls, use moisture-resistant latex dyes. The work area is best decorated with tiles or glass.

That's the whole small set of rules. It's time to prepare your own sketch. If possible, try using a special computer program to design your own interior. Make several options and settle on the most acceptable one. Use photos of finished projects for inspiration. See what kitchens are:

Do not despair if you have a modest kitchen.On the contrary, the more difficult the task, the more interesting it is! What to consider when planning a small room:

Don't use bright saturated colors. To visually enlarge a small space, use soft light tones of no more than two colors. Too colorful interior will make the kitchen heavy and chaotic. You are unlikely to enjoy cooking in such an environment.

Use glossy surfaces. Matte finishes absorb light and visually reduce space.

Do not use pronounced ornaments and patterns, especially large ones. Contrasting patterns also "eat up" the area. If you really want to - pick up an inexpressive small ornament.

When decorating a window in a small room, do not use heavy ruffles and several layers of textiles. The best choice will be roll or Roman curtains.

Advice! If you have a feeling that the kitchen is boring in color, cheer it up with a bright curtain and a tablecloth in the same color.

The secret weapon of professional designers will help to add space: make the floor in the same color as the lower cabinets of the kitchen set.To rationally use every centimeter of the area, treat the issue of placing household appliances with a passion. If supposed built-in oven, you can install a microwave over it.

Advice! It is convenient when the doors of the kitchen unit do not open to the side, but, for example, slide, as in a compartment.

It is not necessary to install a large dinner table... Use a bookcase, pull-out table, or wide windowsill.

A glass tabletop is a great choice for a small space, it does not burden the interior. For such a tabletop, you should pick up light chairs or neat stools, which stack one on top of the other for storage.

Experimenting with color

For those who decide to stay with a monochrome version, advice from the designer: use shades of your favorite color.

Important! Professional design stands out for its harmonious color combination of walls, floor, ceiling and furniture.

You shouldn't use more than three colors. The diversity will distract from the interior and irritate the psyche.It is beneficial to use contrasting combinations to highlight the dining or work area.

How to choose wallpaper for the kitchen: photo in the interior

The room in which food is prepared constantly suffers from high humidity. In addition, grease accumulates on walls, ceilings and shelves. All this should be taken into account when choosing wallpaper.

Main criteria:

wallpaper must have a surface that can be washed and wiped if necessary. There are coatings commercially available that can withstand cleaning with a soft brush. On the packaging, moisture-resistant types are marked with a "wave", and those that can be washed intensively are marked with a "wave with a brush";
the material of the wallpaper should be dense. Loose paper quickly absorbs all dirt. The denser the canvas, the more durable the repair;
you should select a coating that is resistant to fading. Otherwise, the walls may turn yellow, and dark spots will remain behind the pieces of furniture;
repairs are made in the kitchen more often than in other rooms due to the intensive use of the premises. If you take wallpaper for painting, give preference to specimens that can be repainted more than once.

Advice! Do not chase cheapness like a pop. Don't buy cheap paper wallpapers, they will have to be re-glued every year. And don't go to the other extreme - luxurious and expensive textile coatings will also need to be replaced very quickly, as they intensively absorb all vapors.

Embossed coatings are also not the best option. Grease and soot will settle on luxurious acrylic flowers. They will have an unsightly black border that cannot be washed off.

The pattern on the wallpaper is also of great importance. What effects can be achieved with it:

Picture	Drawing on wallpaper	What effects can be achieved
	Large drawing	A room that is too large can be made cozier with wallpaper with large flowers or ornaments.
	Small drawing	Suitable for small spaces if you want to make them visually spacious
	Geometric ornament	The cage and similar patterns push the walls apart, making them endless
	Vertical stripes	Visually raise the ceiling in low rooms. The stripes should not be wide.
	Horizontal stripes	Expand the room, while making it lower.Suitable for rooms with non-standard high ceilings.
	Diagonal pattern	Creates a sense of movement. Suitable for dynamic natures.

Interesting results can be achieved if used for kitchens combined wallpaper... Photos in the interior:

Advice! When combining wallpaper, pick up rolls in the same price range. The difference in quality can be very negative.

Using coatings of different colors and textures, it is easy zone space or to highlight accents.
