We invite all homeowners, happy owners of a kitchen space of impressive size, to familiarize themselves with an extensive selection of design projects for modern kitchens. Rooms designed in different stylistic directions, color schemes and levels of functional load represent a wide range of possible design options for a modern room for preparing and eating food. In addition to decent sizes, all kitchens are united by functionality, practicality and ergonomics of work areas. We hope that inspiring examples of kitchen space design will be useful for everyone who is determined to repair or reconstruct one of the most important segments of the home.
Let's take a closer look at what stylistic trends are reflected in the modern design of large kitchen spaces.
Wall decor in the kitchen
When creating wall decor in the kitchen, imagination can be limitless. But there are some peculiarities when decorating walls. Firstly, the kitchen has a lot of different cabinets hanging on the walls, a refrigerator, household appliances, and an apron over the stove.
Often the spaces remaining free have different geometric shapes and sizes. And secondly, the kitchen is the place where food is prepared, therefore there is high humidity, possibly soot, odors, and temperature changes. Therefore, the material must be selected appropriately and resistant to these influence factors.
- But even with these seemingly difficulties, many owners manage to find practical solutions for the original decor of their kitchen. When decorating walls, first of all you should pay attention to the overall color scheme and style.
- The most suitable space for decoration is the space above the table, the apron above the stove, the space above the sink or the space between the windows. If there is a free wall, you can paste original wallpaper, for example with a print in the form of old newspapers or posters.
- Fortunately, there is a huge selection of wallpapers now. Just don’t overload the space. This wallpaper is only suitable for one wall. Wallpaper collected from different scraps in the form of a collage looks very original. And you can add to the wall, for example, hanging plates or beautiful cutting boards made in different styles.
But if the kitchen is small or the space is overloaded, you should not use a lot of decor; a few bright accents will be enough.
To decorate the kitchen walls, you need to select items that can be removed at any time to wash and put in order. The photo of the kitchen decor shows how you can use decor to play up the space so that everything looks natural and tasteful.
Classic motifs in modern kitchen
With the help of modern technologies for the production of finishing materials and furniture manufacturing, it is possible to present the classic furnishings of the kitchen space in a new light. Traditional and beloved by many homeowners, the interior is being updated with the integration of state-of-the-art appliances, kitchen accessories and decorative items.
Classic kitchen cabinets in contrasting colors sit comfortably alongside modern appliances and chrome-plated bar stools.
No matter how many years have passed, there is always a large percentage of homeowners who order designers just such interiors for their kitchen spaces. Traditional furnishings in snow-white design, expensive finishing materials and beautiful glass chandeliers as a symbol of luxury and wealth.
What could be more traditional than decorating walls near work surfaces with ceramic tiles? This fairly durable, durable material, in addition to its attractive appearance, has a special advantage for the kitchen space - ease of maintenance. And tiles with an unusual pattern can dilute the monochromatic palette of a classic kitchen and introduce an element of novelty into the overall interior of the room.
And the use of subway tiles to decorate walls above work surfaces is perhaps the most traditional of all types of kitchen backsplash finishing. It is elegant and simple, easy to use and care for, but at the same time attractive and aesthetically pleasing.
Using doors with glass inserts for the upper tier of kitchen cabinets allows you to expand the boundaries of space, especially if the room has large panoramic windows - the ensemble will be harmonious. The dark stone finishing of the walls above the work surfaces and countertops created a contrast with the light palette of furniture, giving the kitchen a touch of chic and elegance.
One of the most traditional and, of course, the most expensive material for cladding surfaces and making countertops is marble. Carrara marble of a light shade with barely noticeable grayish veins will decorate any kitchen, but it will look most appropriate in a classic interior. A kitchen island countertop or even a marble dining console will be the focal point of all eyes in your kitchen.
Kitchen tile decor
Most often, ceramic tiles in the kitchen are an apron above the stove. The tile is convenient because it is easy to clean after cooking to remove droplets of fat. But sometimes you want to change something in the interior of the kitchen without resorting to major renovations.
Decorating tiles is perfect here. The tiles above the kitchen stove can come in different sizes and shapes. Choose decor according to your standards. For example, the easiest and fastest way to decorate tiles is with stickers.
They come in different types:
- Adhesive film.
- Vinyl stickers.
- Stamps.
Stages of work:
- The simplest and most inexpensive way is an adhesive-based film. It is sold ready-made, you just need to cut it to the size of your tiles.
- Then wash and degrease the surface to be pasted. On the right side, start gluing the film onto the tile, slowly, gradually removing the base.
- The main thing is that there are no air bubbles left. In general, we glue it like wallpaper.
- Vinyl stickers are applied in the same way, but their disadvantage is that they last less as they quickly lose their brightness. Stamps. This is essentially a pattern on the tile.
- By purchasing a stencil or creating it yourself, you can decorate the tiles in your kitchen in an original way. You will need paints, a stencil and a stamp.
- It can also be purchased. As a last resort, use a regular sponge. You can use acrylic or stained glass paint.
- Using a stencil and sponge, apply the design to the tile.
Let it dry and cover it with clear varnish, so the design will last longer. This is how easy it is to decorate kitchen tiles yourself.
Country elements in modern design of large kitchens
Large spaces can afford the use of wooden beams to decorate the ceiling, walls lined with stone, and huge logs as columns and supports.
Country elements are easily integrated into modern design and “get along” well with urban, minimalist and industrial styles.
In large kitchen spaces, where there is no need to fight for every square centimeter of space, work and dining areas have a larger scope, the scope for design ideas allows you to introduce objects that are not only practical, but also of interest as art objects.
Such large, almost untreated wooden beams on the ceiling can only be afforded by a kitchen of impressive size with a decent height. This natural element brought variety and added warmth to the modern interior of the kitchen space.
This spacious room can afford country items and retro kitchen appliances, an antique huge mirror, and unusual pendant lamps of various shapes.
Such pieces of furniture as a kitchen island are given special attention when planning large spaces. Given the impressive size of a kitchen, an island can accommodate more functional segments, and beyond integrating a sink, cooktop, dishwasher or storage at the base, designers are finding new ways to enhance the practicality of this kitchen centerpiece.
When the size of the kitchen space allows, you can place the dining area directly in the room. A table made of light-colored wooden planks became the central element of this modern-style kitchen.
The stone-clad wall and antique wooden chest of drawers look like messengers from the past in this ultra-modern kitchen, but it seems that this simple, monochromatic, incredibly closed environment is exactly the kind of stylistic splashes that were needed.
The use of different types of wood to decorate the ceiling, floor and base of the kitchen island, and to make a dining group, became an interesting integration into the snow-white interior of the kitchen.
A rustic stone wall, the use of unpainted wood as a raw material for the manufacture of kitchen cabinets, rustic kitchen accessories, bar stools and benches - everything works to create a non-trivial image of this spacious room in a country house.
The use of wooden beams and ceilings of light wood in a snow-white spacious kitchen of a country house can become not only a structural necessity, but also a decorative element. Combined with a wooden dining group located in the dining area of the room, country elements bring natural warmth and freshness to the kitchen design.
The stone finishing of the kitchen apron and the wooden countertop, which complemented the island for organizing the dining area, brought the warmth of country life to the traditional kitchen setting.
The rustic design of the bar counter and high stools became an element of surprise in this modern and slightly eclectic kitchen. In harmony with modern appliances and the glossy surfaces of the kitchen cabinets, there is brickwork as wall cladding and a beautiful chandelier with many glass elements.
Dark wood beams on the ceiling and above the kitchen range add texture and color to the otherwise traditional kitchen setting.
Kitchen furniture decor
If you are tired of the furniture in the kitchen or it already looks a little shabby, you should not rush to get rid of it. Any item can be given a second life. To do this, you should carve out a few hours from your time, find an original idea and spend a little money.
In order for your kitchen to start pleasing your eyes again, decorating kitchen furniture is the best choice. There are several ways to update your kitchen set.
- The most common is coating furniture with mineral paint. It is also called chalk.
- It has a thick consistency and fits well on any surface, even laminate.
- After painting, the kitchen is truly completely transformed beyond recognition.
- Chalk colors have noble shades, so the final result of the set will not look as ordinary as before.
By the way, you can make your own chalk paint. It won't be difficult to find instructions on the Internet. Decoupage furniture is very modern in decor.
Decoupage is the use of various materials to create an original print on furniture. For this method, various available means are used: pieces of wallpaper, napkins, various pictures and postcards, clippings from old newspapers and magazines.
The technique consists of pasting the desired fragment of the design onto the damaged area of the furniture and covering it with several layers of transparent varnish. The technique is convenient because with the help of pictures you can create any style and direction. And, of course, with this technique it’s easy to decorate your kitchen yourself.
Stepson rules
Two weeks after planting the seedlings, pinching is carried out. During this period, the plant grows by 5-7 cm, which indicates that they are ready for this treatment. Stepping is carried out in the morning. Carefully form a bush, removing the lower leaves, ovaries in the axils and additional stems. The treatment is carried out in such a way that the bush has a maximum of two good, thick stems. It is advisable to remove all other branches.
Attention: After pinching, the plants should not be watered for one or two days.
Further, for high-quality development, it is necessary to observe the correct feeding and watering regime throughout the entire period of tomato growth. Only in this case can a rich and high-quality harvest be achieved.

Crafts for decoration
Having a few free hours a day can be spent usefully. For example, make a craft for your favorite kitchen. There are a lot of ideas for creativity in this direction.
Some require financial costs, others are more budget-friendly. Some will take one hour, others the whole day. Choose the option that suits you, especially nowadays it’s not difficult. For example, make a stand for kitchen appliances from tin cans.
For such an original organizer you will need:
- Four or six clean, dry canning jars (carefully remove hazardous elements; jars need to be taken higher to store spoons and forks).
- Acrylic paint for metal.
- Screwdriver, self-tapping screws, thick nail, hammer.
- A small wooden board (just above the jars).
- Handle from old furniture.
First, paint the jars inside and out, and do the same with the board. Let dry.
- Using a nail and hammer, make holes for the screws in the jars.
- Screw the cans one by one with self-tapping screws to the board, having previously leveled them.
- And screw a furniture handle onto the end of the board, between the cans. Your organizer is ready.
The result is an original and, most importantly, useful craft for decorating your favorite kitchen.
Minimalism as part of a modern large kitchen design
Modern style in the interiors of almost all rooms strives for the greatest manifestation of minimalism, simplification of lines and shapes, color schemes and design options.
The interior, almost completely devoid of decor, accessories and textiles, becomes similar to the furnishings on spaceships or premises from the future.
In such a kitchen, everything is subordinated to simplicity and conciseness, enclosed within the framework of modern technologies. Clarity of lines and shapes, rationalism and practicality, ergonomics and convenience have almost completely replaced excesses and decorativeness, leaving us with color, contrast and focus on accents.
Futuristic elements are increasingly appearing in modern design projects. For example, hoods, which have certainly become more powerful and significant devices for large spaces these days, are increasingly becoming focal points. This happens not only due to the transition of appliances from the walls, where they tried to disguise them with false panels and kitchen cabinets, to the center of the room above the kitchen island, but also due to the external, more interesting design of household appliances.
The ability to integrate a lighting system into kitchen cabinets and hoods greatly simplifies kitchen work and makes it more efficient. But no one refuses central lighting above the dining table or kitchen island; in this case, in addition to the main functional goal, designers also pursue an aesthetic goal, choosing interesting, non-trivial options for pendant lamps or lamps.
For kitchens in which the central element is not the dining table, but the kitchen island, the choice of bar stools or stools becomes an important point. Designer options, unusual design, bright color palette - everything can work to create a surprise effect for your kitchen, give the room tone and a completely different mood.
Minimalism and snow-white color are two pillars on which modern kitchen design often rests. Conciseness, simplicity and cleanliness, freshness and spaciousness - the list of epithets of such interiors could take a long time.
For many years, ceramic tiles have been used to cover walls above work surfaces and for kitchen splashbacks, and modern style does not stand aside from this tradition. This is a great opportunity not only to get high-quality and beautiful surface finishes, but to dilute the monochromatic palette of the kitchen, to introduce pattern and contrast into its interior. For this snow-white kitchen, wooden bar stools for the dining area also became a decoration.
For minimalist interiors of modern kitchens, the dining group often becomes a decoration. Chairs by a famous designer, which have not lost their popularity for several decades, go perfectly with a wooden table made of light wood.
Wine cork panel
For a beautiful kitchen decor, you can make a panel from wine corks, following simple instructions.
To make this craft you will need a beautiful frame from a mirror or picture, paint of your favorite color, a hot glue gun and a lot of wine corks.
- To make it easier to cut the corks, pre-soak them in water for about 15 minutes. Paint the frame in advance.
- Place the corks inside the frame in any way you like.
- Herringbone, even rows, checkerboard or chaotic.
- Fasten the plugs together using a glue gun.
- If there is space left, the plugs can be cut to the desired shape.
- This panel can be used to store notes by attaching them to corks with safety pins.
And you can decorate them as you wish. For example, for the New Year you can attach a fir branch with toys.
The decor adds a special touch to the atmosphere of the kitchen, making it more comfortable and individual.
