Everyone is screwed!
Kitchen interior designIt is fashionable in every way nowshow off your culinary talent, but work surfaces, on the contrary, are desirable to hide. Especially if the kitchen is combined with the living room. This is the purpose of the hinged lid of the steel kitchen unit. When open, it acts as an "apron", protecting the wall from dirt. Note the lack of legs (the unit is suspended from the wall) and handles - due to this, the kitchen looks very laconic.
Obstacle strip
Actually, kitchen islands are goodin that they can be approached from any side. However, the owners of this house decided to sacrifice convenience for the sake of spectacular design. The curved wooden structure partially restricts access to the work surface, thereby helping to zone the space. At the same time, it serves as a unifying element, since it is made of the same material as the flooring in the living room.
Face to face
Far from always combining the kitchen with the living roommeans that the cooking zone is visible. There are other options. Here, two kitchen modules are placed opposite each other, forming an isolated microcosm. If cooking does not play a priority role in your life, you can even do without windows in such an eating room. But if you like to fry-hover, especially a large company, this option is unlikely to suit you.
At the feet of truth there?
Typically, under the kitchen work surfaceThe islands hide storage systems. They are convenient, but they make the kitchen look heavy. To lighten the structure, you need to put the island on its feet. The kitchen in the photo is custom-made; you can find a similar model at Dada and Binova. Keep in mind that beauty will require sacrifices, - having gotten rid of the drawers under the island's countertop, you will be forced to place storage systems along the walls.
Truth can not hide!
The unpresentable appearance of the food block and the fumes it emitssmells - that's what confuses people thinking about combining the kitchen with the living room. The first problem is easy to solve - with good design. The second is more difficult: some smells cannot be overcome by any hood. You can't do without interior partitions here. But who said they have to be blind? Separate the kitchen and living room with a glass wall and live openly!
Winter Garden
The owners of this kitchen answered the call«Let nature into the house!» in the most direct way. Having decided to expand their home by adding an extension, they decided not to cut down a tree growing on the plot. As a result, it ended up under the roof and now sets the tone for the interior: it seems that the action is not happening in the house, but on the terrace. The walls made of red unplastered brick reinforce this impression.
Make a rack!
Bar counter - a proven remedyzoning of combined spaces. Here it has turned into a complex multifunctional structure (in its upper part you can place some beautiful and useful things). In addition, it is painted in a bright color. And thus it further emphasizes the border between the kitchen and the living room.
There is an exit!
The shelves in the refrigerator doors are no longer used by anyoneyou will be surprised. The owners of this kitchen went further and designed the swing doors separating the kitchen and dining room using the same principle. It turned out not only original, but also convenient - the family porcelain collection is now always at hand.
Zakroma homeland
An example of how you can do without the usualhanging lockers. They replaced the storage system, hidden behind the sliding doors. This design is good not only for storing the small things that are necessary in the household, but also all kinds of mixers, toasters and the like.
Under cover
Even an apron can look elegant.Especially if we are not talking about work clothes, but about the same surface in the kitchen. Traditionally, tiles are used for its finishing, but in this case, tradition can be neglected. Alternative options: stainless steel, corian, paint (it must be waterproof), photos, posters or wallpaper (glass will help protect them from moisture and grease) or wood (but not near the stove).
However, ordinary tiles can also lookbold and unexpected. Use multi-colored tiles with patterns - you will get an "apron" in the patchwork technique. Or cover not only the wall, but also the hood - it will look like a tiled roof of a country house.
Pictorial means
The mood in this kitchen is set by a large picturesquecanvas. It's not just the size that matters, but also the palette - it seems that the paints used by the artist have flowed from a two-dimensional image into three-dimensional space. Another interesting point is the kitchen apron, painted with chalkboard paint. You can leave a heartfelt greeting to your husband on it: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat!" Or you can write down the necessary recipe - it's much more convenient than constantly checking a cookbook.
Iridescent outlook
For those who are afraid to overdo it with color, it is worthtake a closer look at this kitchen. Its walls, floor and ceiling are pristine white. The bright colors are localized in one place. This place is the kitchen "island", faced with mosaics. It is complemented by a lamp hanging on the wall - the same color and stripes.
Merry business
It looks like the owners of this kitchen have stumbled uponcheap sale of tile borders and, without thinking twice, bought up all the goods. And then they racked their brains for a long time over how to use these multi-colored "bars" in the household. As a result, their kitchen "apron" turned into a real art object. To someone it will remind an abstract painting, and to someone - a cozy patchwork quilt.
American dream
It's immediately obvious that fans of style live here.retro. This is indicated by the chairs with legs made of pipes, and the free-standing stove, and the black Bakelite telephone, and the shelves of the cabinet, full of labels of cans, bottles and bags. But the main character here is, of course, the sofa, reminiscent of furniture from American diners of the 50-60s. To complete the image, all that is missing is a large hamburger and French fries.
Intimacy
The boundary between the bedroom and the kitchen has been transformed intoa simple formality. This layout makes it much easier to serve breakfast in bed and make night raids on the refrigerator. Another thing is that this symbiosis can make serious adjustments to your diet. You will have to limit it to croissants and sandwiches - hovering over more substantial dishes is unlikely to contribute to a restful sleep.
Economy class
Not everyone needs a kitchen with many kilometers ofwork surfaces and gigantic storage systems. And if so, then allocating a large area for it simply does not make sense. It is better to follow the example of the owners of this house and hide a small kitchen unit under the mezzanine. The cooking area can also be "driven" into the space under the stairs or, if the house has an attic, it can be equipped under the roof slope.
Together again?
Who said you can't sit on two chairs?Here's proof of the opposite. This kitchen is connected to the living room. And at the same time, it's isolated (due to the fact that it's surrounded on all sides by cabinets of different heights). Add to this a suspended ceiling, which, thanks to its contrasting coloring, looks like a roof. And suddenly you're in a house!
Turn the heat up!
«You can't spoil porridge with butter!» — the owners of this apartment decided. And they installed a richly colored kitchen against the background of wallpaper with an active pattern in the spirit of the 60s. It seems that the cooking area exudes heat, like a red-hot stove. It is logical to assume that a whole arsenal of bottles with curry, «Tabasco» and other «spirits» is hidden on the shelves of the kitchen cabinets.
Guest from the future
Simplicity, functionality, no sharp edgescorners and unnecessary details - this is how interiors of the future were drawn in the 60s. This kitchen fully confirms the predictions of 40 years ago. However, from the standpoint of today it does not look futuristic, but nostalgic.
Culinary fusion
This interior is a mixture of a variety of traditions.The typical Moroccan tadlakt walls, zilisch tiles and coloured lanterns. The cooking area is equipped with freestanding furniture and appliances - this is already a retro move. As for the breakfast nook, it is decorated in a completely modern way. The colour scheme helps to tie everything together, so carefully thought out that even banal buckets and rags look like decorative elements here.
Legs — in hands
If you are nervous, please do not worry!If you are terrified of myrobes and never part with thick "Domestos", this kitchen "2014" is definitely not for you. The authors of this project made a knight's move and turned part of the work surface into a platform between two flights of stairs. The residents of the house now look down on washing dishes. Not very hygienic, but extremely effective!
