But gentle pastel colors, on the contrary, soothe. Therefore, for the harmony of the inner world, these colors are best combined. There are many options for creating a kitchen design and a headset, among the most successful are:

• stickers, they can be pasted on walls or ceramic tiles (read also), you can pick up a series of drawings and create a whole story;
• ornaments drawn through stencils (this is the most inexpensive way, because stencils can be made by yourself by downloading a drawing from the Internet);
• paintings, panels, plaques and photographs;
• painting.

The kitchen interior and its design will help to dilute handmade textile decorations. On the Internet you can find many such master classes from experienced handmade masters. To give the old technique a new look, you can simply paint it or paste over it with a film. In the case of painting, it is better to use paint in spray cans, it lays down in an even and thin layer.

There is a special film for decorating countertops and facades, it is easily glued, you can choose any pattern or “material”: leather, metal, marble, granite and wood.
If bright colors and massive decorations are chosen as decor, then it is better to give preference to either walls, or furniture, or appliances. Decorating everything at once will make the room overloaded, and it will become difficult to be in it.

Make furniture for the kitchen with your own hands

There is nothing better than conveniently furnishing a space in the kitchen that can save space in the room and accommodate as many utensils as possible. Often, finished furniture in the interior of the kitchen is rather impractical. Therefore, experienced craftsmen assemble their own or remake already finished ones. An important criterion is functionality, practicality, space saving and, of course, external characteristics.

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 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. Location kitchen sink tied to 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 a pre-installed certain places. Each switch and each socket must be located in strictly defined places.
• High humidity. Good ventilation will be 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. Merging is only possible by replacing gas stove on an electrical or light partition installation.
• Changes in temperature and evaporation of fats. This factor influences the choice finishing materials. They must be waterproof and washable.

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

	Practical solution: A lot of space. Lots of air and light. Great scope for creativity, the embodiment of design finds. Viewability of space, which is good if the family has small children who need constant monitoring. Disadvantages: Powerful hood required It is necessary to constantly maintain order so that the room looks presentable. It will not be possible to close the door to the kitchen when unexpected guests arrive.
	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 psychological condition but also on 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 arterial 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. Good to combine with more soothing 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. Influence on a person yellow 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 in large numbers brings on sadness and depression. To avoid negative impact, blue should be combined with warm shades, for example, beige, bronze, orange. However, you can pick up light and airy shades of blue or sea ​​wave. Generally 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.
	At white interior there are both advantages and disadvantages. As for the pros, the white kitchen looks larger than its actual size. Via white color a simple or sophisticated high-tech, minimalist, classic, Scandinavian interior can be created. But such a kitchen is too easily soiled, you will have to clean up very often. white kitchen- this is a clean canvas that can be decorated 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 gray interior easy to make dark. 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, 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. hallmark 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 textiles handmade- two-tone 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.

Colors classic interior: all 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 or glass-ceramic oven 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.
• 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 allowed, for example, blue or dark olive. 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. characteristic feature are wooden chairs with upholstered seats.
• 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.

While creating African interior kitchens use shades of brown, rare woods such as wenge and zebrano, animal prints, black figures. 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-sized, so small kitchen interior design tips 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, high-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 window sill as working 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. Insulated balcony can become winter garden, a continuation of the kitchen, where the dining area will be located; uninsulated - a place for summer recreation, a refrigerator in winter time. The door to the insulated balcony in a small kitchen is best replaced with sliding option 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.

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, any technique can be located in a niche, for example, washing machine. 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 should 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. There must be lighting in the kitchen working area, if only because you will 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, blender, coffee maker, 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 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.

Not all housewives have spacious kitchens. Most often in old Soviet apartments they are quite small in size, and sometimes even tiny. However, in such a situation, you can find a way out by resorting to design tricks. The play of colors, original modern style, spacious lockers and much more will help to solve this issue. How to make the most of a small space in the kitchen will be discussed next.

Layout for a small kitchen

A small room most often even with the right layout and design solution can continue to press with four walls, as a feeling of constriction remains.

To avoid this, you can get rid of the door by arranging an arch instead. This can visually expand the space and remove the feeling of tightness. In case doors are needed, sliding models can be one of the options, which in addition look very stylish and modern.

A radical solution would be to combine the kitchen and living room, while receiving a studio apartment. This layout is especially popular among young people. The kitchen is expanding and disadvantages small area are no longer as noticeable. In addition, the dining area can affect part of the living room, due to which space for the kitchen set and furniture will be won, which will give the kitchen more functionality and comfort.

The layout of the kitchen set depending on the shape of the room

The correct location of the headset in the kitchen is the key to comfort, saving space and, as a result, saving time on cooking.

First of all, it is worth remembering the rule of the triangle, which consists in placing the refrigerator, sink and stove. It is this that contributes to the improvement of ergonomics in the kitchen, since it is based on the principle of the order of cooking the dish, that is, first the products are taken out of the refrigerator, then they are washed, cut and thermally processed.

The choice of layout of the headset should be based on the shape of the room, the location of windows, doors, communications. If the kitchen is square, then the best option considered U-shaped headset. If the dining area needs to be separated separately, then the L-shape is more suitable.

For a rectangular kitchen, a linear arrangement is suitable, either parallel, when only one wall is used, which is longer, for arranging furniture, or outside parallel walls.

With a non-standard form, including a studio apartment, the layout can be any, including island, oval. Also in this case it may be necessary individual order furniture.

What style to choose for a small kitchen

In a small room, bulky parts, a large number of accessories, various parts, especially small ones, are unacceptable. Therefore, the style must be chosen based on the features that each of them represents. Therefore, for a small kitchen, the following styles are suitable:

Minimalism

As for furniture, it should be as simple as possible - straight lines, minimalist design and plenty of free space.

The choice of furniture for the kitchen

To choose the right furniture for the kitchen, you need to ask yourself what purpose it will be intended for. After all, each hostess has her own preferences - someone likes to spend time on it, pampering their loved ones with delicious dishes, and someone comes in just to make tea.

Based on such needs, you can decide on the format of the kitchen renovation - if there will be little cooking on it, then the kitchen furniture should be minimalistic, containing only the most necessary accessories. If the owners like to gather in the kitchen for dinner, it is worth considering an area with a dining table and chairs, and for a kitchen-studio alternative could become a bar.

When choosing a kitchen set, of course, you should focus on the style of the room and its color scheme.

To complement Scandinavian style, you should choose light furniture made of natural wood. simple shapes and functionality of the headset will provide a comfortable and stylish interior.

As furniture materials, an array of natural wood, laminated chipboard, plastic-coated chipboard, glass, metal, and artificial stone are used. It is worth relying not only on the type of material, but also its quality. For countertops, for example, it is recommended to select a coating that is resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. When choosing a headset, it is important to make sure that all drawers are installed evenly and open without undue effort, and that the hinges and guides are not skewed. It is also worth paying attention to the fittings - all handles, hooks, rails, loops must be in good condition.

For optimal organization of kitchen furniture, it is important to pay attention to a few more nuances:

1. The height of the countertop should be such that it is convenient for a person to cook. If the finished set is not suitable for the growth of the owners, it is worth buying custom-made furniture;
2. with a large number of small household appliances and utensils, care must be taken to ensure that each item has its own place in the lockers. Various storage systems, shelves, hooks and rails will help you avoid cluttered work surfaces. You can consider the option of using cabinet furniture in the interior of the room;
3. in small kitchens practical option there will be shelves and cabinets installed along the entire height of the room - this way the space will be used to the maximum;
4. salvation for small kitchens 4 - 7 sq. m. will also be transforming furniture: folding bar stools, a table attached to the wall, which can be laid out and removed if necessary, etc.

Lamps for the kitchen

As we have already said, kitchen lighting is planned at the stage of creating a design project. Thus, you can consider the location of all sockets and switches. Lighting in the kitchen should come from several sources that can be turned on when needed.

Each functional area should be well lit: sink, countertop, stove, dining table. If the kitchen will have an island, it is important to install good lighting above it - these can be pendant lights, track or spot systems located directly above the work area.

Good lighting for countertops, stoves and sinks will be provided by halogen or LED furniture lights located under the cabinets along kitchen apron. If there is a need for additional illumination of the stove, you can build lamps into the hood. When installing such lighting fixtures, it is important to correctly set the direction of the light so that they do not blind those who will sit, for example, at the table.

The working area can also be illuminated with a non-standard solution - a glass apron with built-in lighting. Open shelves, illuminated as if from within, have the same original effect.

In the kitchen, you can not do without general lighting. For ceiling lighting, you can use chandeliers for the kitchen or LED spotlights. A pendant lamp or a beautiful chandelier located above the dining table will make the atmosphere more solemn, and if you place it closer to the table (but no more than 1.5 meters), then the room will acquire intimacy and comfort.

The optimal light for the kitchen is warm or neutral white, so fluorescent lamps with bright light for such lighting is not suitable. It is important to install separate switches for all fixtures, lamps and backlights. This will allow you to adjust the level of lighting, as well as save electricity.

When buying lighting fixtures, in addition to beauty and functionality, it is important to make sure that they are easy to use. Chandeliers with non-standard light bulbs that are hard to find in stores, or complex designs that require some effort to change a light bulb, are unlikely to bring pleasure to use.

For significant savings in the family budget, it is worth taking a closer look at LED lamps. Despite their high cost, they save 15 times more energy than incandescent lamps, and their service life reaches several years.

Decorative lighting in the kitchen looks stylish in the form of colored LED strips. They can be located along the perimeter of the ceiling, along the kitchen set or under the countertop. The kitchen island with frosted glass illuminated by LED lamps and chandeliers looks very impressive.

Decor for the kitchen

The interior cannot be considered complete without decor. Various accent little things make the kitchen more homely and cozy. Fresh flowers in pots, vases, beautiful towels and curtains - there can be a lot of options. To decorate the kitchen in an original way, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money, because you can organize the decor of the kitchen with your own hands, while making it modern and cozy. This approach to business will give the room even more individuality and originality.

Transparent containers with spices can also serve as decoration. Colorful jars can be placed on the tabletop or hung on the wall with magnets. There can be many combinations.

The decor of the kitchen curtains also affects the overall impression of the interior. IN small kitchens from 4 sq. m. up to 8 sq. m. m. it is good to hang light or translucent curtains that make the room lighter and more spacious. Heavy blackout curtains will be appropriate in large kitchens - they can be chosen both to match the walls and to focus on a contrasting color.

Connoisseurs of a healthy lifestyle will love the idea of ​​a mini-garden in the kitchen. Small beautiful pots with herbs will not only decorate the interior, but will also be useful in cooking. Stylish, eco-friendly and economical!

Appliances

The choice of household appliances is directly related to the choice of a kitchen set. Refrigerators, stoves, ovens, dishwashers and even toasters should be in harmony with the overall style of the kitchen. Depending on the chosen interior style, household appliances can both merge with furniture and contrast with it, being an accent piece of interior.

When arranging large household appliances, it is worth remembering about Golden Rule triangle, which remind all experts. The three main working areas in the kitchen - stove, sink and refrigerator - should be located at an optimal distance from each other (1.2 - 2.7 m). At the same time, the refrigerator and stove should not be located nearby, otherwise they will quickly fail due to temperature differences. And the stove must be installed away from the window in order to avoid the extinction of the fire due to the wind. To save space, you can also separate the oven from hob, embedding it in a locker at eye level. This option is also convenient because you do not need to constantly lean towards the oven.

Modern designers offer many combinations of household appliances with a kitchen set. Chrome-plated models perfectly complement the interior of a high-tech kitchen, and for white, black or any color facades, you can choose an oven to match.
