Open space
More and more kitchens in our apartments are combined with the living room. This layout will not lose its relevance. The space of the living room and kitchen should be aligned with one idea, the kitchen becomes “invisible”.
Simplicity is popular in kitchen design today. This place should clearly fulfill its functions, but at the same time the atmosphere itself should create a feeling of peace and comfort, silence and tranquility.
Color selection
Design trends also apply to color. In a modern kitchen, it is the color palette that is of great importance, since it determines the picture of the room as a whole. At the same time, a “multi-colored” kitchen should be in harmony with the atmosphere and style of the main home, which is why it is important to decide which color to choose.
Kitchens in light colors without bright accents are still on top of the trend. This solution best suits the definition of a simple kitchen with motifs of ease and naturalness.
Dark shades are becoming more and more popular. Dark gray and black look sophisticated, but should be approached with caution, as their use can greatly visually narrow the space.
In a small room, it is best to combine dark shades with light ones, without allowing the first to exceed 60% of the space. You can dilute such an interior with graphite or chocolate shades.
A calm design can be achieved with the help of bluish, purple, green and other tones. The main thing is that they should not be too bright, but look natural. Such accents will add a creative touch to the interior. And colorful kitchens with flashy shades are not in fashion now, so they should be avoided.
Dacha – country kitchen
Many people have a dacha. This is the place where you can show your design imagination in farmhouse and retro style.
The growth of environmental problems keeps the eco style on the list of the most relevant.
Wicker furniture, large windows and an interior with plenty of natural daylight, chandeliers with bamboo lampshades, an abundance of living plants and hedges on the walls, the use of green and predominantly natural materials - all this is the hallmark of eco-style.
Some call it the style of the future. And it’s probably no coincidence. After all, in the bustle of the city, you really want to create a piece of nature at home.
Which style suits you
The time for faceless, boring headsets is over. The modern market offers a wide selection of kitchen furniture made in a variety of styles. There is no need to limit yourself here - choose the direction that best reflects your preferences and ideas about convenience and coziness. You can even safely combine elements from different styles, getting truly unique solutions. Here's a quick guide to some of today's most popular styles.
Modern
Characterized by straight lines and minimalist finishing. Functionality and strict aesthetics reign in it. Favorite additional materials are glass, metal, glossy plastic. In other words, modernity, or, as it is otherwise called, modern style, includes everything that is far from the classics. This is the pursuit of simplicity while maintaining practicality and ergonomics. The attitude towards color in Art Nouveau is democratic. This could be a steel-gray palette, as shown in the photo, or bright shades of blue, cherry, green combined with a neutral base. Here you can play with color without fear of going beyond the boundaries and seeming tasteless, the main thing is to do it wisely and with the help of a professional designer.
High tech
It will please those who love brevity, strict geometry, and smooth facades without any finishing. This style has a lot of light and air; household appliances are not hidden behind cabinet fronts, but are displayed. High-tech is futuristic, anticipates the future and suits bold, dynamic people who are accustomed to being ahead of their time. The use of contrasting classic colors is relevant here - white, black and its many shades (gray, ash blue), chocolate.
Provence
Embodies the breath of the rural province. This is a cozy style that will make you fall in love with its cute details and love for eco-friendly materials. Natural wood, sometimes carelessly processed or artificially aged, peeling paint on the facades, cabinets with stained glass, figured elements - these are significant signs of this style. The color scheme is natural, in muted brown-sand tones. Although it is also appropriate to use white, turquoise and their many variations.
Loft
Came to us from the era of the industrial boom. This is something between a factory warehouse and a space maximally adapted for living. The loft-style kitchen has brick walls, concrete ceilings, wooden floors, open communications, there are no curtains or curtains on the large windows, and the furniture has smooth (often glossy) surfaces, with an abundance of open shelves and movable modules. The color palette is classic - shades of natural wood, stone, granite, and marble predominate. The use of bright accents is minimized or absent altogether.
Natural materials: wood and marble
The demand for environmentally friendly natural materials is still high. This is especially true for kitchen countertops.
A beautiful and unique texture can radically transform the look of the entire set. Therefore, the most striking representatives of nature are wood and marble.
Marble finishing in a modern kitchen will always find its use, even if the design is very simple or restrained.
Marble's unique texture, created by nature, has a unique aesthetic, so this material can also be used as a floor covering and to create a monolithic “island” or apron.
