Kitchen interior design 70 photos

What should be the interior design of the kitchen? First of all, comfortable, ergonomic, thoroughly thought out. Interior design at a high level requires the 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 exception of the bathroom.

Do not limit yourself to thinking through the design in your head; be sure to transfer your thoughts to a sheet of paper; correlate ideas with the actual dimensions of the kitchen. There may come to the surface some inconsistencies and difficulties in the implementation of design ideas.

Features of kitchen repair

When planning the interior of a kitchen, it is not enough to decide on the decor and location of objects in terms of comfort. There are a number of factors that either will not allow the design project to be implemented in all its trifles, or it will require significantly more effort, financial resources and time than planned. It must be remembered that drawing up a kitchen design project is not only a creative process, but also an engineering work.

Factors complicating the design of interior design:

• Load-bearing walls. Not in all cases, you can expand the small kitchen, combining it with the living room. Sometimes you have to be content with the available square meters.
• Low ceiling. This item can adjust your tasks. It will be necessary to consider how to visually solve this problem. In addition, complex ceiling structures are not your case.
• Availability of sewage and water supply. The location of the kitchen sink is tied to the sewage system and plumbing, if you want to move it, you will need additional plumbing work.
• A large number of electrical appliances that require electrical power supplied to predetermined locations. Each switch and each outlet must be in strictly defined places.
• High humidity. Good ventilation is required so that the climate in the kitchen is always comfortable.
• Gas appliances. As you know, by law, the kitchen can not be combined with the living room, if there is a gas stove. Combining is possible only when replacing a gas stove with an electric one or installing a light partition.
• Temperature drops and fat evaporation. This factor influences the choice of finishing materials. They must be waterproof and washable.

Much of the design depends on the original dimensions of the room:

Kitchen-living room	Kitchen-living room . A practical solution: Lots of space. A lot of air and light. Great scope for creativity, the embodiment of designer finds. Viewing the space, which is good if the family has small children who need constant monitoring. Disadvantages: A powerful exhaust hood is required, It is necessary to constantly maintain order so that the room looks presentable. Close the door to the kitchen upon the arrival of unexpected guests will not succeed.
Standard kitchen of average size	Standard kitchen (about 10 m 2 ). It is believed that the placement of such an area is quite convenient, especially if there is access to a balcony. In such a kitchen there is enough space to accommodate all the necessary elements of the interior: household appliances and furniture. However, one should not strive to embrace the immense, it is better to abandon something, for example, from dimensional furniture, a large number of cabinets and shelves. The shape of the kitchen is of great importance: rectangular or square. In a square kitchen an island zone would be appropriate, which can play the role of dining or working. There is no place in the narrow kitchen of the island zone, it is rather difficult to place a dining table. The best option - at the window. Due to the difficulty in locating the dining area, some resort to redevelopment - combining the kitchen and living room.
Small kitchen	Small kitchen . Preparing the project of the interior of a small kitchen will have to think carefully. In a limited space, it is difficult to combine aesthetics and functionality. We will have to pay a lot of attention to the choice of color and decor. Such an object requires separate detailed consideration. We will return to the conversation about the small kitchen.

When designing an interior for a kitchen of any size, you should strive for ergonomics. The basis of the kitchen design project is a working triangle: a stove, a sink, a refrigerator. These three items should be located close to each other.

This color is combined with all the others.
Black	Black . With this color you have to be extremely careful, perhaps, therefore, black is not used in design too often, mainly in modern interiors in the style of minimalism, hi-tech. Especially controversial is his choice as the main kitchen.Black can be a lot, if, for example, the facades of the kitchen are made in black, or it can be introduced into the interior by separate inclusions. Black can be depressing, especially if the wrong choice of additional colors. He, like white, combined with all colors, but most often it is combined with light: with white, light gray, milky, beige. An important condition is good illumination.
Gray	Gray . 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, which will emphasize gray. Be careful the gray interior is easy to make gloomy. In the kitchen gray will look decor in bronze, gold and silver colors.
Beige	Beige /brown. If you use mostly 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 color, is not too easily soiled and does not visually irritate.

• To leave it as it is, to be used for its intended purpose - you will need to replace the doors with more presentable ones and corresponding to the style of the interior; consider how best to isolate the refrigerator so that the cold does not penetrate the room.
• Make an ordinary locker, which is especially important if the window sill acts as a work surface. By the way, any technique can be located in a niche, for example, a washing machine. In this case, the refrigerator is warmed.
• To lay down completely, removing a niche or making it a small one, about 15 cm deep.There it is best to move the heating radiator so that it functions as efficiently as possible.

10 mistakes and shortcomings of kitchen design

When designing a kitchen design try to avoid the mistakes listed below, or be ready for the fact that the failure to comply with the recommendations will complicate the cleaning in the kitchen or the process of movement.

The convenient location of the working triangle should be exactly like this	Linear location . If the kitchen has a long wall, then many prefer to have 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 must be located in different angles. Linear location 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 be enough just to turn around.
We need a working surface	No working surface between the slab and sink or fridge . After the dishes are washed, it must be left somewhere to dry, when preparing food, put shovels, spoons, lids of pots or pans, and finally, products on the work surface. Without a working surface will be very uncomfortable.
A narrow passage in a parallel kitchen is not the best option	Narrow space . Between the kitchen and the island; kitchen set, placed on two sides; either a set and a dining table or a bar should be at least 120 cm apart.
The lighting above each zone is more convenient	Only central lighting . In the kitchen, there must be an illumination of the working area, if only because you can block the light from the chandelier when cooking or washing dishes.
In order for glossy facades to shine so much, they will have to be washed every day	Glossy facades and wooden floor . Such surfaces quickly become soiled and lose their attractive appearance.
Marble surfaces are expensive, but impractical because of the porosity of the material	Marble surfaces . Keep in mind that marble is a porous material, and this can play a dirty trick, for example, dyeing products spilled on a marble worktop or marble floor will leave a stain that is hard to remove.
The optimal location of the integrated technology is at the belt level	Built-in technology too low or too high. And again the question of comfort. All built-in equipment should be located at the belt level, because it will not be possible to rearrange it, placing it more conveniently.
This niche is ideal for storing small household appliances	There is no place for small household appliances . Practically no one in the kitchen now does without home helpers. Provide free space for the placement of household appliances: multicookers, blenders, coffee makers, food processors and other things, even if now these devices are not. Perhaps in the future you will want to buy something.
Can you keep open shelves in perfect order?	Open shelves instead of wall cabinets . Many style directions allow open shelves in the kitchen. However, there is a great risk that over time they will be cluttered with unnecessary and not at all decorative objects. If you decide to open shelves, at least leave enough space for storage in the lower cabinets.
The deep box will be spacious, but heavy	Wide and deep drawers . Another detail that is often overlooked, trying to provide as much storage space as possible for all that is needed and not so much. At first glance, it seems that the wide and deep drawers are functional. Yes, they will allow a lot to hide in their depths, but how heavy they will be - think about it.
