- simplicity of forms.

Such solutions will not only add modernity to the space, but will also make it visually wider and freer.

If decorating a space in a single white color bothers you a little and makes you want to dilute it with something else, inserting wood - natural or a material that imitates it well - will help support the fashionable image of the kitchen. This will make the space “warmer”.

Such neutral solutions for façade design

kitchen set are very profitable. Because if you want to change the interior in the future, they will fit perfectly with any other color schemes. To update, it will be enough just to change the color of the walls and select other decorative details.

Rules for combining colors

Whatever scheme you choose, you need to paint walls, floors, ceilings, and facades taking into account simple rules:

• Do not use more than five shades: the floor, walls, suspended ceilings, facades, and apron can be decorated in different shades. The top is usually lighter, the bottom is dark. The exception is kitchens in particularly spacious rooms.
• The walls should be lighter than the flooring. If the floors are brown, the walls will be beige. If you choose a light floor covering, then other surfaces will be white or ivory. In such interiors, pastel shades are often chosen for painting furniture.
• Kitchen facades should be darker than the walls. The dark shade for the walls is applicable only in the accent area.

• Kitchen ceilings should be lighter than the walls and furniture. But there is also room for combination, where you can use a fairly dark tone for zoning or accentuation. If you choose suspended ceilings, you can use a multi-level design.
• You can combine light and dark, bright and neutral, universal and catchy. Two bright ones cannot be used in equal proportions, just like two dark ones. But any light color, like universal tones, can occupy large areas - not only walls and floors, but also suspended ceilings, sets, corner sets and aprons.

For retro fans

Another fashionable kitchen trend 2022 proves that the new is the well-forgotten old. If you are a fan of traditions and elegant solutions, take a closer look at the style of the 50s and 60s. Here, against the backdrop of expressive walls, kitchens with celadon azure cabinets will look appropriate. Of course, the equipment needs to be chosen in accordance with such retro aesthetics. Fortunately, modern manufacturers provide this opportunity by releasing atypical retro models that perform all the functions characteristic of the technology of our time.

Also in such kitchens, sets with facades made of dark wood or materials imitating it will look great. Metal handles look especially good as accessories. And the countertops are “marbled”

will satisfy even the most demanding natures.

If the kitchen is small and there is not enough natural light (windows face north or west), it is better to choose light-colored facades - white or beige.

Modern household appliances

Another mandatory attribute of the kitchen of the future is an interior filled with ultra-modern appliances and electronics, which can be controlled remotely through smartphone applications. And also “smart” hoods that independently select the mode, depending on the saturation of the air with vapors and odors; climate control; equipment that can prepare a full dinner before family members return from work or school.

And, of course, various little things that make life easier: a household waste shredder in the sink, a wine cabinet, cutting boards with electronic scales.

About kitchen furniture 2022 – new trends

A smooth surface, like satin, without handles - this is what the façade of a kitchen set looks like, 100% in line with fashion 2022. But this is not their only advantage. Also, such facades greatly facilitate the cleaning process, because they are easy to clean.

Fashionable kitchens 2022 are a design that assumes that kitchen cabinets will be placed along the entire length of the wall and, as a rule, appliances will be built into them. Open shelves on which you can beautifully place glass or porcelain items are an excellent option for visually facilitating such a design.

Two-tone cabinets, which began to be especially popular in fashionable kitchens in 2022, will continue this trend in 2022 and will not leave the list of must-have techniques of modern designers. What colors will they combine? It is better if these are contrasting solutions. For example, the classic duet of white and black or the non-trivial green and blue. And if you dilute them with a kitchen apron with a “marble” or “concrete” finish and a “wood” countertop, the result will be very unusual and highly relevant!

The kitchen island is another element of furniture that modern kitchens 2022 include, if space allows. This is not only a functional solution that allows you to increase the work surface or the number of storage spaces, but also practical - the island allows you to hide the clutter that sometimes reigns on the tabletop from the eyes of guests in the dining/living room area.

Wood or its high-quality imitations

Since naturalness is now in trend, wooden textures in kitchen design are also very relevant. They will fill the space of a modern kitchen with “living” energy. At the same time, the materials that will be used with wood or its imitations in a duet can influence how exactly the space will be perceived. For example, the addition of metal parts will make the decor more austere and elegant. And glass is more refined, light and airy.

Modern ideas, modern design - all this is replete with great variety and wide scope for the manifestation of imagination. Granite, marble, wood of various species, their high-quality imitations, addition of brass or copper elements, glass, stone, concrete, tiles with various patterns - the number of possible options is endless.

Original lighting

lighting gives the room dynamics and volume, creating a feeling of large, open space. Next year, we expect increased interest in lighting accents on the upper tiers of hanging cabinets. For this purpose, track and pendant lamps with metal lampshades and spots are used.

Two-tone kitchens will continue to delight owners with their magnificent colors. You can choose a more traditional option, with a white or cream, grayish top and rich bottom. Or take a risk and combine two bright accents that will create a rich, fashionable design in the room for many years. Another unconventional solution would be a separate accent block on one of the walls of the room. Usually it is highlighted in a contrasting color, against a calmer general background. You can also choose an original solution for a dining room or a comfortable seating area with a bright corner and a sofa.

Glass sliding doors that separate the kitchen from the living room or dining room are also at the peak of popularity. Here you can choose from a great variety of options that become original decorations for rooms, from all-glass panels with a matte, mirror effect or with printed patterns, to retro-style doors with bindings. When choosing a kitchen apron, preference should be given to natural materials, bright, unusual patterns, mirror coatings, complex textures.

Loft

This style is distinguished by originality, naturalness and is very popular with those who love experiments.

Typical techniques used by designers to implement it include:

- unhidden ceiling beams;

- rough wall finishing or exposed brickwork;

— open wires, pipes and other communications;

— the predominance of materials such as metal, wood, glass, stone;

- furniture with an unusual design;

— original decorative details;

— modern devices;

— the predominance of brown, black, and white shades in the design palette.

Triangle principle

The most advantageous position for placing the refrigerator, stove and sink is considered triangular, when you first take something from the refrigerator, then you need to move to the sink to wash and prepare the food there and put it on the stove.

This triangle can be well used in a corner kitchen, which is actually very convenient for life and very often in modern apartments corner kitchens are the optimal solution.

Also, it can be used in a U-shaped kitchen, or in a kitchen where there is an island.

If the kitchen is linear, then the main thing is to simply take into account the sequence of refrigerator-sink-stove, but here you need to add such an important point as communications, because in addition to the convenience of the location, there are also sewerage outlets, water supplies, ventilation, so you need to take into account the fact that each of the appliances was close to its own communications - make the stove closer to the ventilation duct, the sink closer to the sewer drain.

Neoclassical

A modern interpretation of the classics is very popular today, because kitchens

truly luxurious and innovative.

To bring all this splendor to life, adhere to the following rules:

- use a lot of textiles made of silk, cotton or linen - curtains, tulle, napkins, tablecloths;

— order furniture, the design of which involves many curves and rounded outlines;

— for decoration, choose gold or silver;

— install, if possible, built-in equipment, leave a minimum of visibility;

- don’t save money - classics don’t like this.

Classic design: important features

Let the government change, the weather outside the window, views in society, the classic design options are immortal. According to designers, traditional neoclassicism is especially in trend.

The fashion trend is characterized by laconic forms of furniture and fundamental designs. The classic format is typical for a large space.

For decoration, it is recommended to choose wooden objects, stone, and natural fabrics. You won’t get much chic in a small space, but you can try not to overload the design with all sorts of appliances and decor.

By the way, the design with stucco and the inclusion of warm-colored metals creates harmony. The key “recipe” is adherence to geometry, symmetry, and restrained notes of decoration. Gold and stucco should not pull the “blanket” over themselves.

has not lost its popularity for several seasons now, and 2022 will be no exception. This is an excellent solution for owners of small kitchen spaces, as everything here is laconic, functional, and the predominance of light shades helps to visually expand the space.

Kitchen-living room - a recipe for successful design

Special rules apply to small spaces. In Khrushchev-era buildings, the design of a small kitchen involves the arrangement of furniture and household appliances in the form of the letters “P” and “G”. Be sure to leave 5 cm gaps between equipment.
