Simple interior of a small kitchen. Interior design of a modern small kitchen

A small kitchen can be cozy and super functional. It’s just that its arrangement requires a little more careful planning and non-standard solutions. In this material, we presented 16 techniques that will help you plan the design of a small kitchen, and collected 100 photos beautiful interiors for your inspiration.

16 small kitchen design techniques

Technique 1. Bet on white

White color is ideal for decorating a small kitchen, because it has the ability to reflect light, thereby creating a feeling of spaciousness and visually expanding the walls. By the way, contrary to popular myths, white surfaces are much more practical than dark ones. And in general, interiors decorated in light colors, seem neater than the motley ones. In this selection of photos you can look at the interiors of small kitchens with white walls and/or furniture (scroll to the right).

Tip: One of the trends of 2018 is monochrome interiors with white floors, walls and furniture. By using this trick in your small kitchen design, you can “erase” the boundaries of a cramped space and create the illusion of spaciousness. And so that the interior of a small kitchen in white does not seem too sterile, use several shades of white and combine contrasting textures. For example, the kitchen facades can be glossy, the walls can be brick, and the apron can be glass, as in this interior of a small Stalinist kitchen in the photo below.

Technique 2. Corner or single-row set

In most cases, an L-shaped layout is optimal for a small kitchen. Firstly, it is compact, and secondly, it allows you to use two adjacent walls and the corner between them, arranging the stove, sink and refrigerator according to the “working triangle” principle.

Tip: to save space, part of the corner set should be made narrower, for example, 35 cm deep, as in the design of a 6-meter kitchen in the photo below (scroll to the right).

However, a lot depends on the shape of the room and area. For example, for very small kitchens (up to 5 sq. m), a linear layout is more suitable. For the greatest convenience of a single-row set, the operating points should be arranged in the following order: refrigerator - sink - cutting area - stove (as shown in this photo).

Very small kitchen design

If the kitchen is narrow, then you can consider a two-row layout. The main thing is that the passage between the furniture is at least 100 cm.

Below in the photo you can see the design of a small kitchen with a two-row layout and a built-in dining area.

Technique 3. Radical redevelopment

Yes, redevelopment always complicates, delays and increases the cost of repairs, because to carry it out you need to prepare a project and obtain permission from housing inspectors. However, it is with its help that you will achieve best results. Here are 3 possible solutions on space optimization:

Combining a small kitchen with a living room . Although this measure will not lead to an increase in area, it will help create a feeling of more spaciousness and modern space. In the photo below you can see the design of a small kitchen in a remodeled one-room Khrushchev house.

Design of a small kitchen in Khrushchev

Attaching a loggia. Partial or complete connection of a glazed and insulated loggia will add a couple of extra meters to the kitchen and, importantly, make it brighter.

And here is a design project for a small kitchen with an attached balcony in one-room apartment in Brezhnevka.

In some cases the kitchen can be combined with the hallway/corridor or move it there altogether.

To avoid visual clutter, the combined room must be physically or visually zoned. Here are some ideas:

Zoning using different finishes floor, walls and/or ceiling. For example, the kitchen area can be tiled, and the living room/hallway area can be tiled. parquet board(see example in the photo of the kitchen in the remodeled Khrushchev building above). Also, a multi-level ceiling would be appropriate in the kitchen, which will allow, firstly, to hide some communications, and secondly, to divide the space.
Using furniture as a divider. On the border between the kitchen and living room you can put a sofa, console, island table, shelving or bar counter (see photo below). The main thing is that the furniture divider does not interfere with the penetration of sunlight.

Zoning using partitions. They can be low (they can be used as a bar table or peninsula), glass (so that light penetrates the rooms unhindered) or in the form of sliding doors. Here is a selection of photos of small kitchens with dividing partitions.

An example of kitchen zoning in a studio apartment

Keep in mind that an open floor plan has its downsides: lack of privacy, the need to keep both areas tidy at all times, and noise and odors permeating throughout the entire apartment.

Technique 4. Remaking the window sill

For example, it can be built into a set or turned into a bar counter. This idea, although somewhat troublesome to implement, is really useful for planning a small kitchen. Just don’t forget to make several holes in the window sill for circulation warm air. Otherwise, the windows will constantly fog up, and this threatens mold.

In the following photos you can see the interiors large kitchens with window sills and countertops.

Technique 5. Refusal of the door

A swing door “eats up” a lot of space and clutters up a small kitchen, so it is advisable to abandon it. Instead, you can simply leave an open doorway, decorated with platbands, convert it into an arch, hang a curtain or install sliding doors as in the photo below.

Keep in mind that an open doorway can cause some inconvenience. For example, food smells penetrate more into all adjacent rooms, and any noise from the kitchen can be heard throughout the apartment.

Technique 6. Using built-in mini-equipment

You can save space in the kitchen by household appliances. Firstly, it must be built-in and not stationary. This way you will save not only precious centimeters, but also create the effect of seamlessness and uniformity of the facades of the work area. Secondly, if possible, the equipment should be selected in reduced sizes.

So, instead of the standard dishwasher It is better to choose a machine with a width of 45 cm, and a hob with two rather than four burners.

Thirdly, try to choose multifunctional appliances, for example, a multi-cooker-bread maker or a microwave oven.

Tiny kitchens - tiny appliances

Technique 7. Set with an additional tier

If there is not enough space to store things, then you need to use height. A kitchen set with an additional tier and built up to the ceiling will provide you with plenty of places where you can place glass, holiday dishes, grocery supplies or just trash like jam bottles.

Reception 8. Multifunctional and compact furniture for the dining area

These tips will help you design a dining area in a small or very small area:

For those who lead a mobile lifestyle, dinner table worth replacing bar counter, folding or coffee table.

The folding table when folded looks more like a hanging shelf

If mini desks aren't your thing, choose a traditional rectangular or square desk to maximize space efficiency. It is desirable that the furniture be visually light and compact. It would be good if the table folds out and/or has built-in drawers for storing napkins, candles and other small items.

Rectangular kitchen table in a small kitchen

When choosing a dining table or, say, a bar counter, try to buy furniture that is not too large, but not too small. Remember that per person there are seat about 60 cm wide. The depth of the tabletop should be at least 45 cm.

Chairs for a small kitchen are light in weight and in appearance. If you often have guests, get folding chairs that can be folded and hung on the wall when not needed.
Transparent polycarbonate chairs (price for a replica Louis Ghost chair is 4-5 thousand rubles) - a super idea for a small kitchen. After all, they do not clutter up the interior at all due to their “invisibility”, they can be stacked on top of each other, they hardly scratch or break, they are easy to clean and weigh little.

Technique 9. Use no more than 2-3 colors when creating an interior color scheme

This will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed and keep things organized.

Another tip: bright and dark colors in the design of a small kitchen are quite acceptable, but in small doses and in combination with a neutral background. Below you can see several illustrative examples application of this principle.

Technique 10. Finishing with “optical illusion”

Ideally, the walls of a small kitchen should be plain, but some types of prints and patterns can visually increase the space:

If you paint one accent wall in a wide horizontal stripe, the space will visually appear wider. This technique is great for long and narrow rooms, but not suitable for short ones.
You can change the perception of a small kitchen with the help of photo wallpaper with an image that has a perspective. For example, it could be a forest path, a city street or a highway as in the photo below.

Small kitchens often have low ceilings. Wallpaper with vertical stripes or with a vertical pattern, for example, in the form of trees, will help correct this shortcoming. True, any verticals somewhat narrow the space, so they should be used in moderation, for example, only on one wall.
Wallpaper in a diamond pattern, as in the photo below, will also help to pull the ceiling of a small kitchen up.

By the way, large and bright patterns and prints are contraindicated in a small kitchen, as they visually overload the interior and make the space even smaller.

Similar principles will work with floor finishing:

Floorboards/slats/tiles in a small kitchen are best laid diagonally. If the kitchen is narrow, then laminate/parquet boards should be laid across the room. When laying single-strip boards/laminates, you should prefer laying them staggered or in a herringbone pattern in small dies.

Just as clothes with horizontal stripes visually increase the volume of a person, a striped floor as in this photo will stretch a kitchen with a small area

Technique 11. Covering walls with mirrors

Mirrors in a small kitchen can work a miracle - “enlarge” it by half. If you hang a mirror opposite the window, the amount of light in the room will double. Here are three ways to use this trick:

Apron cladding;
Complete finishing of one wall;
Covering a fragment of a wall with a mirror, for example, near the dining area;
Installing a regular floor mirror.

The following selection of photos shows the interiors of small kitchens with mirrors in typical Moscow apartments.

Benches, banquettes kitchen corners, poufs or sofas often have built-in drawers hidden under the seat - it is convenient to store tablecloths, rarely used equipment, utensils or kitchen items here. Remember, furniture for a small kitchen should be multifunctional.

The space under the sink can serve as storage for household items if you hang hooks and baskets on the doors.

To ensure that the corner section is used at 100%, equip it with a special retractable, roll-out or rotating storage system.

Equipping the headset base drawers You'll get extra seats for storing baking tins, foil, bags and other kitchen items.

Small jars with lids screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet will help free up space on the countertop or cabinet. They are convenient for storing spices and other bulk products.

If you have a countertop refrigerator, make good use of the space above or around it.

Technique 13. Uniform lighting is the secret of comfort and a feeling of spaciousness

To make a small kitchen cozy and spacious, you need to create correct lighting. It should be uniform, pleasing to the eye, without sharp shadows that narrow the space. The usual “central chandelier + furniture lighting” scheme in a small, and even more so narrow, room will only do harm. But spotlights installed around the perimeter of the ceiling, or wall sconces, installed evenly along the walls, will create the soft light effect we need.

But the ceiling chandelier/composition of pendants should be hung at a height of 70 cm directly above the dining table, as in this photo of a small kitchen-dining room in a remodeled Khrushchev-era building.

Reception 14. Minimum decor and decorations

For example, it is better to remove magnets brought from travels from the refrigerator and take them to the dacha. However, there is no need to completely abandon accessories and decorations, otherwise the interior will seem uninhabitable. Living plants, a couple of paintings/posters, a clock on the wall and beautiful dishes are enough to decorate a small kitchen.

Technique 15. Window decoration with short and laconic curtains

The following types of curtains are ideal for decorating the windows of a small kitchen:

Roman curtains;
Rolled;
Panel;
Blinds;
Classic shortened curtains with easy assembly;
Cafe curtains.

Technique 16. Eliminate clutter

The fewer things in a small kitchen, the better. Try to organize your storage so that everything that is usually placed on the countertop (from dishes to appliances) is hidden in drawers and cabinets.

Interior designers claim that what less furniture and decorative items, the greater the feeling of order and cleanliness. This also applies to a small kitchen, but only in matters of decor. Furniture in a small kitchen should be well thought out and accommodate many small items and

And one more rule: it is not at all necessary that the furniture in a small kitchen be small; on the contrary, you must try to equip the kitchen with everything necessary equipment and a couple of spacious cabinets with drawers in which all household utensils should be stored.

Before you decide to remodel your small kitchen in a modern style, you need to understand for what purpose it will be done. And the goal is very simple! Cooking is real creativity, and creating while experiencing dissatisfaction or discomfort will not work out “tasty”.

Therefore, the first tips for organizing the space of a small kitchen are to try to expand it by combining it with an insulated balcony, with a living room or just remove the door.

Rules for placing household items

If you don’t have the first two options, then let’s stop at the third. And the rules for placing equipment and furniture will be almost the same as for all kitchens, but only much more rational!

Transfer gas stove from gas pipe doesn't make sense.
The refrigerator cannot be installed next to the stove, otherwise you will soon risk being left without a working refrigerator.
Decide on a place for the sink (or use an existing one) and arrange shelves (or a net) nearby (usually at the top) for drying dishes and there should be a cabinet with tableware nearby.
Think over these points and order custom-made furniture for yourself, it will be the best option for a small kitchen.
Keep in mind that you have to figure out how to use any area of space, tune in to corner cabinets and maybe a single countertop that combines the stove, sink and work surface. Instead of a stove, it is better to use a hob.
If possible, place as much furniture as possible against one wall, perhaps this will be the same wall that houses the equipment ( hob, sink, refrigerator), then on the other wall (opposite or adjacent) it will be possible to make a hanging, folding or wall table.

Options for saving space in a small modern kitchen and “fashionable features”

Bright hues(pastel, light wood and stone) visually expand the space, dark ones hide, excessive diversity puts pressure on the psyche. Ideally, a combination of two primary colors and their shades is the best for a small kitchen. This season, gray, white, gold, beige and natural surfaces are in fashion.

If three walls of the kitchen are decorated in calm, light colors, the fourth can be made bright accent, but not entirely, but for example, furniture facades, or vice versa - internal surfaces niches in which the equipment is placed.

How to make a small modern kitchen brighter?

Spotlights at the bottom of hanging drawers can “enlarge” the space.

The more light the better. Light curtains made of light transparent organza will look better than massive curtains. You can use Roman blinds or small blinds.

Cluster indoor plants on the windowsill will steal pieces of space, it’s better to let it be one thing, but original, rare plant. Keep in mind that glossy facades will look better than matte ones. It’s good if the wall cabinets have glass doors, a small one would be a good choice. glass table and clear plastic chairs.

In a small kitchen at least one piece of furniture should be “aspirational” to the ceiling, and if somewhere there is an opportunity to place vertical stripes, this is also good for visually increasing the space.

Transformers - suitable furniture for a modern kitchen

Modern transformable furniture allows you to beautifully furnish a small kitchen: for example, a table for storing dishes with an overhanging surface can also serve as a small dining table, and an additional shelf above the window can serve as a place to store items that are used less frequently. Alternatively, instead of a table - bar counter and high stools.

When ordering furniture, consider the possibility roll-out or retractable table top, It is better to make cabinet doors folding or sliding, rather than hinged. Provide “smart” devices for storing household items; they should be equipped with organizer drawers, magic corners, rotating mechanisms, carousel-type shelves, containers, nets.

Small modern kitchens - photos

The kitchen is the most functional room in a house or apartment. Kitchen design involves multiple work areas and high safety requirements finishing materials. For all its practicality, it is necessary to create a cozy nest for preparing food for family dinners.

Modern designers offer many convenient and interesting solutions, both for a spacious room and for a small kitchen.

Main trends in modern cuisine

Fashion for kitchen design does not stand still. Modern style is rapidly developing, offering homeowners a wide variety of shapes, colors, and textures to create the kitchen of their dreams.

But there are general trends in the design of a modern food temple. Designers recommend:

visually expand the space due to light colors in the decoration, mirror surfaces, lighting.
zone the space;
use functional modern built-in appliances that add a touch of high-tech to the interior of a small kitchen;
use laconic kitchen sets;
add strict lines and geometric shapes to the room as a tribute to modern style;
hide fittings;
use chrome surfaces, glass in decoration;
add an “eco touch” with wooden inserts, living plants;
develop a high-tech storage system. Minimalism does not tolerate cluttered room space.

Style selection

The kitchen is the place for family dinners and romantic breakfasts. That is why it must be designed in harmony with inner world and the tastes of the owners. Today there are applicable to this premises. Of course, everyone can find an option to their liking:

Classic style. It is a timeless design style. When decorating, the classic will not be too good decision, since a feature of this direction is furniture made from dark colors of wood or materials disguised as it. The main colors will be beige, gold and brown.

Country style. The type of interior echoes the classics, but is a simpler and more comfortable version of it. Preference is given natural materials and decor that conveys the flavor of the countryside: wicker motifs, original shapes, natural colors, patchwork fabrics.

High tech. The complete opposite of country style. The emphasis is on the abundance of chrome, metal, glass, and modern technology, which will become the main decor of the room. Usage simple lines in the headset will emphasize its functionality. The use of one bright dominant color and one neutral color is encouraged.

Modern style or modern, which will fit perfectly into . It is distinguished by laconicism and a desire for minimalism. Predominance in the interior white and a large amount of natural light will further expand the space of even the smallest kitchen. Art Nouveau is characterized by the use of geometric shapes and the functionality of every detail.

Eclecticism. Mixed style, replete with decoration. Loads the space with many elements. Combines different textures and colors.

Color solution

Choosing a kitchen color is an important step. Exactly from color scheme The overall mood of the room and the effect it creates will depend.

A beautiful kitchen design of a small area implies a visual increase in space. A combination of two colors will help achieve this effect. Light color should predominate on top and dark at the bottom.

A monochromatic interior also fits well with the design of a small square kitchen. But when choosing a dominant color, you should use a palette from light beige to brown.

Choosing white as a monochromatic design will make the kitchen too strict, wooden decor will help mitigate this effect.

The background largely depends on the initial choice of room style, as well as on the planned coloring of the furniture: you cannot combine a colorful set with a bright wall color.

You should also remember the effect of color on a person. Red color can speed up metabolism, promotes good appetite. The use of blue and green shades, on the contrary, is suitable for those who are watching their figure and want to eat a little less than usual.

A non-standard choice of ceiling color will help diversify your usual environment. Good choice there will be light warm shades.

Kitchen finishing

Suitable for various kitchen surfaces different variants finishing. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Ceiling finishing

There are special requirements for the ceiling in the kitchen. In addition to its aesthetic appearance, it must be practical, moisture and heat resistant. The most common are:

wallpapering;
finishing with plastic panels;
coloring;
pasting with polystyrene foam boards;
installation of a suspended ceiling;
installation of a plasterboard ceiling.

Naturally, although pasting the ceiling will be a cheap way to finish it, these methods certainly cannot boast of durability.

Until recently, the most common method was plastering and then painting the ceiling. water-based paint. This is a rather labor-intensive and “dirty” process, but the result is worth it. When the paint begins to yellow over time, it is easy to renew the ceiling with another layer.

The most modern methods are the design of suspended and false ceilings. These are more expensive options, but such ceilings are durable and functional. Thanks to spot lighting, it is possible to additionally illuminate the work surface, and a multi-level ceiling will help zone the space.

The unusual design of a small kitchen is emphasized by mirrored ceilings. They look original and will also visually expand the space.

Wall decoration

In cases where the kitchen is divided into working and dining areas, it would be appropriate to emphasize this division with different finishing materials. Among the most popular finishing options:

Ceramic tiles and mosaics. Leader in kitchen design. Its popularity is due to its durability, strength, ease of care, as well as a huge selection of colors to suit every taste. Rarely found as a finishing material for the entire kitchen, it usually fills the space of the apron or the entire working wall.

Dye. Washable paint - great option both for the working and dining areas. Mixing colors can produce many beautiful shades for a quality finish. Another reason for the popularity of paint is the ability to do it without resorting to the help of specialists if you have a ready-made, flat surface.

Wallpaper. Considering the specifics of the room, there is no place for ordinary ones. For finishing this room, non-woven, fiberglass, vinyl wallpapers.

Yellow rectangular kitchen in the interior with wallpaper

Finishing with concrete, brick, putty. The appearance of a pristine “bare” wall decorated with usually hidden building materials adds an effective touch and a bit of rebellion to the modern, laconic, seasoned style.

MDF wall panels. Modern manufacturers offer wide choose aesthetic panels coated with special protective film. They are easy to install and look good in the interior of the room.

Floor finishing

Choice flooring- quite a difficult task for the common man. There is a wide variety of modern materials to meet the requirements of the kitchen space. Practicality of finishing should come first compared to appearance.

The favorite, as in the case of walls, remains ceramic tile, especially since there are colors that imitate popular wooden surfaces.

The second most popular material is . It has an inexpensive price and has all the qualities necessary for kitchen flooring.

Parquet can be a beautiful, practical, but expensive flooring option. This material qualitatively ennobles the room, without being afraid of moisture and temperature thanks to special protection.

Inexpensive alternative wooden floor will become a laminate. In addition to the advantages of price and appearance, the material boasts ease of installation, which even an inexperienced builder can handle.

An extravagant solution would be a loft-style floor. A pristine concrete floor is a win-win option due to its functionality and cost.

Furniture

Variety of modern kitchen furniture It is very disorienting for an inexperienced buyer. How not to get lost and choose the right headset?

Regardless of the size of the kitchen, there are 5 standard layout options:

island accommodation;
peninsular placement;
parallel placement;
U-shaped placement;
L-shaped placement.

Whatever type of layout is chosen, there are general trends in the design of kitchen furniture. So, today, the boom is the system efficient storage. Even the most inaccessible places are used rationally.

Considering the variety of modern appliances, to integrate them organically into the overall silhouette of the kitchen, ideal option There will be custom-made furniture.

You should not skimp on the quality of finishing materials for your kitchen set: very soon, unscrupulously made furniture will lose its appearance due to instability to moisture and temperature, requiring significant funds for its complete replacement.

Decoration of the dining area

In most apartments, the place to eat is in the kitchen. Designers recommend highlighting the dining area in the interior, visually separating it from the work surfaces.

If you have free space, this will not be difficult. You can use the design technique of zoning using different wall and ceiling finishes. Another option would be a small screen in the same color as the design, covering the functional part of the room. Mosaics or mosaics look good, which will not only accentuate the dining area, but also create extra comfort, will become part of the picturesque decor.

Designing a small one will require more sophistication. To put here dining area, it is recommended to choose an L-shaped layout. good and the right decision in this case, it may be to use the window sill as an extension of the working surface or as an addition to the table.

It is popular to use a bar counter and high stools instead of the usual combination of table and chairs. But this option is unlikely to be suitable for a family with children.

Decorative items and lighting will help place an additional emphasis on the dining area. A well-chosen carpet will help replace the floor finish.

Decorating the room

Despite the desire of modern designers for minimalism, the decor remains part of the interior, although it undergoes some changes. Compared to the fashion of past years, the number of non-functional elements is significantly reduced. One is preferred bright accent, instead of a set small parts, creating the effect of a cluttered kitchen.

The following is used as kitchen decor:

stencil designs and ornaments on a functional wall;
themed stickers;
self-adhesive paper for refrigerator
decorative dishes;
unusual lamps;
hand-made items;
tree;
original carpet or panel;
glass decor;
eco-items: flowers, plants;
decorative curtains.

When choosing decor and its location in the kitchen, do not forget about fire safety rules.

Lighting

The kitchen, as a functional room in any home, needs a well-thought-out, high-quality lighting system.

An example of a kitchen design project with lighting

You should take care of the placement of lamps immediately after making the final decision on the layout of the kitchen. It is at this stage that it is possible to determine the location of work areas that require additional lighting, the method of light dispersion, and install all the missing elements (sockets, outlets, switches, etc.) in advance.

On modern kitchen There is no place for a single source of lighting. For example, thanks to the combination of spot lighting and pendant lamp, you can conveniently illuminate the work surface and the perimeter of the room.

It would be best to make the main light neutral and not too bright, and use additional light sources to create the desired lighting combinations.

To illuminate the kitchen space the following are used:

LED lighting;
Spotlights;
Bus lights;
Pendant lamps;
Overhead lamps.

Don't forget about style and color combinations lighting fixtures with the rest of the interior of the room. If recessed lamps are universal, then chandeliers and pendant fixtures can have different textures and colors. Thus, you can make a good kitchen by combining the lighting functions with decorating the space.
Don't forget! Using a lamp with a fabric shade in the kitchen is inappropriate, as it will accumulate a large number of fat and soot.

The ideal kitchen for a small apartment – a dream or a utopia? Today, designers and decorators offer many, if not endless, ideas and ready-made solutions on the interior design of a small kitchen, so that the question of an ideal kitchen automatically moves from the “maybe” state to the “it is” state.

Don't believe me? See for yourself - there are 10 selections for you good options V different styles and directions. Look at the photos and read the designers’ recommendations, and then it’s up to you...

Agree, at six square meters It’s not easy to plan the position of the refrigerator, stove and furniture. However, “not easy” does not mean impossible. The presented photo suggests one type of arrangement - a kitchen in two rows. On one side there is a cabinet, a refrigerator and a sink, and on the other there is a hob and a kitchen table.

The dining table is located slightly to the side, near the window, which visually divides the area into a dining room and a cooking area.

The plasterboard partitions that separate the kitchen from the living room do not reach the ceiling. This simple technique allows you to avoid the feeling confined space, and visually expand the room. Simple, stylish, and incredibly comfortable.

Lighting. It is worth dwelling on it in more detail, since during the development of this design project it was carefully thought out in advance. Large chandelier over the dining table, wall cabinets and a backlit hood – maximum light, and therefore maximum comfort and warmth. This immutable rule should not be forgotten.

Here is another option for planning a kitchen in two rows. However, this time between the two in parallel standing friend Another dining table is located in rows of furniture. This design is suitable for a square-shaped kitchen.

Color is the most effective way to visually expand a space. In this project, exclusively soft colors were used - white brickwork as an “apron”, light beige walls and bright orange furniture.

A warm range of shades of “edible” colors is an ideal “recipe” for creating a stylish interior, as well as a psychologically harmonious atmosphere for the place where food is prepared and eaten.

Many cabinets and drawers allow you to effectively use every centimeter of an already modest space.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with another design project option for small kitchen– L-shaped layout. Convenient and rational for small narrow spaces. Provides continuity of equipment lines, which visually expands the room, and at the same time creates the possibility of creating a work area by the window.

In this case, it is a large square sink. What could be better - washing the dishes while dreamily looking out the window!

A good solution is the choice of color for furniture - light facades kitchen set, glazed cabinet doors with decorative elements create a feeling of lightness and spaciousness.

A one-row kitchen is another great idea for narrow, elongated rooms. The main equipment in this kind of project is located very compactly along one wall, leaving more space for the dining area.

And again the designer focuses on color - a spectacular, one might say, classic, and therefore a win-win combination of bright red, gray and white.

Lots of glossy surfaces - shiny tiles, lacquered furniture, chrome-plated backs and legs of chairs, as well as fittings - such an abundance of shiny material visually increases the space and reduces the “pressing” effect of red in the interior.

Part of the work area is located above the main level - a well-known technique when at least one piece of furniture “stretches” upward, which creates an optical illusion that the ceilings are higher and there is more space. This also allows you to use the cabinets as a bar counter.

The U-shaped layout is beneficial for both large and small kitchens with an area of 5-6 sq.m.

It ensures the arrangement of equipment in a continuous line - tables, wall cabinets, mini-fridge, washing machine, oven, stove, hood and microwave - which allows you to effectively use not only the total area, but also the corner elements. Agree - this is a whole art!

And again we’ll say a word about color! The snow-white kitchen set harmoniously combines with the warm natural shades of the countertop, laminated to resemble light wood, as well as with a “splash” made of tiles imitating brickwork. Warm, cozy, and even airy!

Please note this unusual solution! The wall between the kitchen and the insulated lodge was demolished, and Voila - a convenient U-shaped layout with work area near the window. Cozy and incredibly bright!

However, the “airy” effect is also achieved due to the light walls and the delicate color of the furniture to match them. Plus - the absence of wall cabinets. Open shelves and bare walls. It turns out that lower cabinets and drawers for storing dishes and food are quite enough. Who would have thought?

Not always the ideal combination of small space and classic solid wood natural wood still takes place. Proof of this is the following design project.

The presented L-shaped arrangement of kitchen furniture is one of the most practical solutions for small kitchens, since it allows you to surprisingly conveniently and compactly arrange the so-called “work triangle” - refrigerator, sink and hob.

Long floor and wall cabinets, shelves, all kinds of drawers - everything kitchenware hidden, and not one millimeter of precious space is lost.

Pay attention to one more detail - the tabletop is made of artificial stone The snow-white color turned out to be quite narrow, and in order to fit the stove and oven, the designers “drew” the original ledge.

Bright accents in this project are a small podium, visually separating the living room and kitchen, and a bar counter located along the wall. Looking at this in detail kitchen interior, you understand how meticulously and carefully every centimeter was thought out.

The attractiveness of the furniture is given by the play of contrasts. The milky white color of the countertop and several cabinets is contrasted with dark brown. Small cabinets look harmonious with large ones, and narrow ones with wide ones.

Spotlights above the furniture and built into the furniture visually raise the ceiling and expand the space.

Original and very stylish interior The next project can be called “50 shades of gray”. Various shades of gray look impressive against bright white.

This spectacular contrast is complemented by equally striking smooth facades, made in laconic, strict lines. Minimum details – maximum space. Minimalism on six squares – this is also possible!

Kitchen interior in high-tech style - here you can see a couple of interesting solutions for a small-sized kitchen!

The first is a table made in minimalist style and chairs made of transparent plastic - create a feeling of lightness and airiness.

Secondly, instead of traditional curtains with ruffles, there are blinds with aluminum slats. The more natural light, the wider the space. And third: an abundance of mirror and shiny surfaces. This and mirror tiles“apron”, and chrome handles, and a practical shiny rack for storing spices.

The brighter it sparkles and shimmers, the visually larger the small-sized kitchen!
