Interior design of small kitchen: photo before and after

Stylist Elena BelovaThe interior design of a small kitchenInterior design of small kitchen photoInitial data: Two-room apartment in a block house series II-18 has a kitchen of 8 m². The case is complicated by the elongated rectangular shape of the room (3.6 × 2.4 m), as well as the low level of the ceiling and window sill. Obviously, the favorite hosts fun gatherings at a large table here are unlikely to be possible. However ... Decision: The hosts found a decent way out. They installed a refrigerator right outside the door, thus unloading the window area. At the same place, due to the narrow pier (40 cm), the old unit blocked access to the daylight room. For the same reason - because of the narrow pier - the standard tabletop depth (60 cm) decided not to lay along the entire wall. Instead, a narrow top-loaded washing machine was placed in the corner. The dining area was formed by a long (2 m) bench, inscribed under the window sill from the wall to the washing machine, a square transforming table and a pair of chairs. When guests arrive, the table is laid out, chairs are added, and seven seats are made. That's how we managed to create a spacious, well-equipped and beautiful kitchen.

The "apron" is lined with small (10 × 10 cm)Italian ceramic granite tiles of turquoise color. In Italy, it is called a mosaic, we have - "pig". To enhance the already contrasting solution used grout for joints, painted in terracotta color. The laminated tabletop, on the contrary, was made lighter (alder) to match the floor.

Used Paulmann rail lighting system(Germany). Its distinctive features are high operating voltage (220 V) and the absence of a bulky transformer. Protection against electric shock provides a special rail design. Under the dielectric plates in it are hidden two copper conductors. The maximum total power of luminaires is 1000 watts.

The walls of the kitchen are covered with decorative plaster. Usually it is imposed with wide and coarse strokes, but such a brutal texture is not suitable for a small room. Therefore, on the surface inflicted a notch with a spatula with small teeth. That is, the wall seemed to be “combed” in a vertical direction. The finished white surface is covered with pink glaze, which is absorbed unevenly into the plaster. As a result, achieved a different color effect.

The coloristic solution of the interior is built oncontrast. Three colors dominate: pink (wall covering), beige (floor tiles and curtains), terracotta (table and kitchen sets). The kitchen “apron” of deep turquoise color contrasts with them, as well as the lamp shade, fabrics and accessories of different shades of blue.

Under the bench fit wicker baskets for textiles and supplies. The layout of the underfloor heating system under the tiles does not reach the window of 50 cm, so that the containers do not heat up.

ordered in Belarus. Its undoubted advantages are low price and natural material of facades. They are made of solid oak, and then tinted. "Stuffing" is quite modern. Doors and drawers open with a touch of a hand. The owners argued for a while about the color of the equipment and car wash to choose, and eventually settled on stainless steel. She looks decent, and in stores represented quite widely, and "affordable".
