Furniture, of course, a utilitarian thing. Is the same a lot depends on the skill of its creators and your relationship. If it takes simply storage for linen, outerwear and towels, a wardrobe is suitable - with all the richness of finishing options
neutral. If you decide to turn your apartment in a museum where furniture is also also
The work of art, then you are opening with limitless expanses for creative quest, the result of which the celebration of realized ideas will be. After all, it is necessary not only to thoroughly think over the place of each subject in space, decide on its functions and degree of decorativeness, but also most importantly, find competent performers. Especially for one of its facilities, the designer Mikhail Ikonnikov designed a bar counter, connected to a niche buffet. It is distinguished by optimal proportions, convenience, practicality and artistic expressiveness. This unusual subject can be called a sculptural composition consisting of three elements: actually an arcuate rack made of glued wood, a wide-willed cabinet with shelves in a niche and a lamp that repeats the table top. Luminaire, like a wardrobe, made of drywall. Bright color and accented lighting enhance the feeling of a single subject-exhibit. Our attention is offered a unique art object, a given, will of fate and designer, in the daily use of the owners of one St. Petersburg apartment.

Name this kitchen minimalist does not turn tongue. Soda side, on face the most important signs of the genre. Nothing extra. Easy brought to the Absolute. No decor. Metal and light tree. Those few accessories that received here the right to registration are associated with industrial design, at best, with a Scandinavian style. The sides, bright piercing colors of the upholstery of the sofas spin, only winning from the neighborhood with gray and light beige shades. Such an extraordinary color fully meets the stylistry of the apartment's interior, which is important, given the full openness of the kitchen area. In addition to the color, the frank practicality of kitchen furniture and equipment does not fit into the concept of elite and non-cheap minimalism. Why pay for expensive headset, if you can do the improvised, assembled from individual details? The laminated countertop under marble was successfully replaced by a wooden panel installed on four metal legs. Fnom was embedded washing and ceramic work surface. The oven and the microwave is well placed on the rack in the corner. In the lower shelves of this rack there was a place for dishes, and for economic supplies. Do you need to spend money on the door if the shelves are worth the most necessary, which should always be at hand? Of course not. It turns out, you can easily do without the traditional "apron" from ceramic tiles on the back wall. They have repeated metal sheet near the stove and washing paint.
Decent completion

Among the entire variety of forms, the textures and colors of the interior created by Diana Balashova, attention does not immediately make attention to the unusual completion of the kitchen edge. There, above the upper cornice shelf, where a number of souvenirs or liquor bottles are usually built, a piece of the Black Sea beach spread over the entire width of the room. From those that are tormented by resting large pebbles under their feet and as a reward are given crystal clear water off the coast. A peculiar photographic frieze of multi-colored wet pebbles is knocked out of a common scale. Yves the same time decorative panels logically combines the entire kitchen composition built along one wall.
The technology used to create this fragment is well known and is actively used in the design of showcases, street biglides, exhibition stands and even shopping spaces. Modern widescreen printers allow you to print an image on paper, banner fabric or vinyl film almost any size. Thanks to this technology, you can make a poster from your beloved snapshot or turn it into a large-scale web-based cloth, obsolete due to limited selection of plots. Of course, such opportunities had to find decent use in interior design. In this case, the photograph of the famous Boris Berdnikova is printed on a film, pasted on plastic and hanged above the cabinets.

Fiction? Reality! Little apartment in Moscow. Our days. Hand, habitually groping switch, hesitantly freezes. The panel with multiple keys and thermal controller of the warm floor in the kitchen seems to be simply hanging in the air. White plastic framing, as if cloud surrounds switches. Side vision is shocked by the perspective of the room flowing into the twilight. In a few minutes, the realization that a futuristic illusion is the result of a sufficiently bolder and, without a doubt, the original designer reception. The authors of the interior did not choose between the huge, in the entire wall, the mirror and most convenient place for mounting the switches block. Fortunately, modern technologies allow you to cut an absolutely smooth rectangle in the glass. So the material echo fantasy Philip Kay Dick appeared on the light.
TV, Combine and coffee grinder
Architects Irina Stepanova, Maxim Doroshko
The list of kitchen appliances replenish all new items designed to not only essentially facilitate the work of the hostess, but also to turn cooking into a pleasant occupation. The microwave, which seemed yesterday, the top of technical progress, has long come true here with a refrigerator. Multifunctional combine pushed manual meat grinders and other archaisms. Now in the kitchen wished to establish yourself and TV! Special devices allow you to arrange the "information source" almost anywhere, for example ... in the closet. When designing a kitchen for a liquid crystal TV provided a separate niche among wall shelves. Making measurements for ordering furniture, the dimensions of the device panel pre-learned. Ausopalized it in a niche on a convenient swivel bracket.
Between living room and kitchen

The carrying wall is a serious and concrete thing. A lot of designer ideas were broken about it. But often different examples - when the idea wins the "impregnable dzot", protected by various types of comprehensive instances and laws of structural strength. The need to make as wide opening as possible in the capital wall forces the architects and builders not only to invent ways to compensate for the loss of rigidity, but also to look for a worthy design design.
Through the opening of the opening in the bearing wall, it is not necessary to do the door in it. Often, the possible width and height of the opening is enough only on the window (for example, between the kitchen and the living room). Or it can be a great place for the babe device. There was no constructive restriction in the case, and the builders broke the wall of the wall previously occupied by the niche. The architect has planned to make a bar rack in this place. Such a decision made it possible to save space and in the kitchen, and in the living room. A family breakfasts around the rack, while receiving a bar used for direct purpose.
High-tech and classic one!
How to be if the kitchen furniture is withstanding in a classic style, and equipment for her want to pick up the most modern, meets all the requirements of the high-tech style? This, at first glance, a serious contradiction is easy to resolve with the help of a simple reception proposed by Nolte. The cabinet retractable box is equipped not only with compartments for the storage of household appliances, but also built-in sockets. Note that in this case no "self-esteem" is not welcomed, since the cable channel is manufactured taking into account the norms and safety regulations (fully isolated, IT.P.). A similar solution is ideal for small items of kitchen equipment and even power tools, as they usually do not dismiss a certain place in kitchen cabinets. Thus, the classic remained a classic, and High-tech "goes on the stage" only at the right moment.
Mirror facing, or continued in reflection

Another option of the original layout of kitchen equipment. First of all, the wide countertop turning into the windowsill is striking into the windowsill, which is mounted in a gas stove. A decent distance to the window (an important point: the curtains are replaced here with practical horizontal blinds) guarantees from dirt and splashes, traditionally "decorating" a fragment of the wall near the stove.
Special attention deserves the decoration of the wall above the table top. Instead of ordinary ceramic tiles, a mirror is used. She lied as part of the window sloping. The windows and interior reflection reflection mirrors destroy the hard geometry of the wall. The working plane continues in the "Watercaling", the same happens with the window. Result It is difficult to estimate the real sizes of the kitchen. Experiments with reflections look quite effectively, but to create a comfortable space here is very important to observe the measure. In the case, the mirror strip is clearly limited in height: 60cm over the table top is enough enough to protect the wall from pollution.

Kitchen-dining room - real heart of the dwelling. Pleasant and to the touch finishing materials, stylish furniture with light Mauritanian motifs together with chamber mood of the room create an atmosphere of comfort and protectedness. When entering here, as if you get into a small coffee shop somewhere in the East. Low dining table is designed for meals in a close friendly circle. It is possible to sit here not only on the chairs, but also at a low podium-bench with soft pillows. This design is made of brick and lined with artificially aged ceramic tiles of Italian production. Internal scope is used as an additional storage system. Pillows and soft backs (IKEA) are removable. Fabric covers imitating rough canvas can be removed and washed. Such practicality is perfectly combined with a stylish design.

Traditional light sources allow emphasize the purpose of each functional zone even in a single space of a modern apartment. The easiest way to choose a collection that includes devices intended for different places, but united by a common design solution. You can also divide the space on the zones using suspended ceilings and then do not take care of the style of the unity of light sources. There is another reception, the complexity of which is the need to come up with an emphasis capable of tie all elements into a solid composition. In this case, it is a colored stained glass window on the ceiling, uniting the hallway and the kitchen. In addition to that, the backlight is turned on or off, it changes its appearance, like the chameleon. With electrical lighting, the stained glass has a blue-blue glow, and intricate patterns appear on the surface in the form of a confusing labyrinth. In the daylight, the picture is completely different: the delicate overflows of lilac and pink tones are intertwined with subtle streaks drawn by a brush of the decorator. The frame design is made of wood covered with silver paint. The frame turned out very light, which simplified the installation.
Air construction

Kitchen-room is a purely functional, territory where modern technologies triumph. It is not surprising that the aesthetics of this zone is stressed by a strict. However, the designer managed to somewhat soften her business pathos, not retreating from the principles of practicality and naturalness. There is two narrow windows in a thorough zone, behind which there is a dummy courtyard-well. To donate this species at all. The windows on the windows from the inside appeared opaque "screens" - the glasses were sealed with matte film. So that the openings do not seem "blind", each of them was located three shelves from transparent glass. Here the hostess puts the dishes and minor items. The windows do not open, so you can not be afraid for the safety of the "air" design.

Can a person feel comfortable in the kitchen of 6m2? It turns out yes. Ima will try to prove it. Arrangement, shapes and general composition of kitchen furniture are convenient and functional. So, very interestingly invented and high qualityly filled with a small dining table. He entered the window niche and takes everything
The space of the former window sill. The decoration of the object was the triangular table top, a powerful wooden plate thick 30mm. It is glued with the mounting foam to the lower surface of the window opening and now simultaneously plays the role of the window sill and dining table. Additionally, it is maintained from below two vertical panels from chipboard. Bar rack, combining the function of washing and a cabinet, originally designed. From the side of the living room, the design is perceived as a rack with a barrel near it is delivered by high, on the chrome-plated legs of the domestic production chairs. From the side of the kitchen, the object is equipped with a metal washing, under the tabletop which is located a built-in locker.
Making a rack
About the spacious and comfortable kitchen, on which you can have lunch, and sincerely talk, every family dreams. But in typical houses, kitchen "expanses", as a rule, do not please.
A small kitchen area is not yet a reason to give up the bar counter. On the contrary, this element of the interior is easy to make multifunctional, which, in turn, will save the useful space. We give an example of a witty designer solution. On a metal pipe-support (the extremely common design of the bar counter), one over the other two rotating round shelves are installed using special attachments, which serve as supports for all kinds of accessories. Bottom there is a holder for a kitchen towel. Thanks to all this, a narrow table top can play the role of an additional work surface or shelf.

It is accurate to decide how much and what closets will need, there must be two authorized persons before the start of repair: the hostess of the house and designer. A woman knows better and alleged life of the family, and the architect will find a worthy place for each cabinet.
Mr. Kitchen Front is broken in the middle of an angle of 45 by a partition with a door. This is a small front wall (just 1,3m2), but a spacious pantry. Such utility rooms Sergey Erofeev tries to include in all its projects. First, they allow you to save 30% of the amount allocated for the purchase of furniture. Secondly, the problem of the corner is solved by itself, which leaves two kitchen facades. Inconale, thirdly, this is a wonderful place to store a variety of items. The hosts are kept in the storage room baby food, drinking water, all kinds of cleaning devices. There is also part of the filters of the water supply system.
Took care of "microwave"
Modular kitchen-inventions of the 60s. At the same time, due to the influence of minimalism, the idea arose to hide the kitchen appliances in the cabinets equipped with everything necessary for the safe functioning of household electrical appliances. Built-in refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers and washing machines are already a familiar phenomenon. Avot "Microwave" in this regard was less. She either "climbed" to the refrigerator (which was and inconvenient, and unsafe), or has occupied a significant part of the table top, reducing the already small workplace. The built-in microwave oven is still an innovation, but it is already fully in demand by the market. You can consider the optimal option when the "microwave" is placed in a separate compartment (it should be located not too high) with the "elevator" door. It is much more convenient to monitor the preparation of the dish and produce any manipulation.

Strange thing human logic. First, the partition is taken between the living room and the kitchen, and then the various designs are being built to divide these two zones.
Recalling at the same time the watchtower, dot and safe, unshakably standing on the border between the room and the kitchen of the column, covered with tinted metal sheets. To give metal aged look, after tinting a slightly sliced and covered with varnish. A similar building organically fits into the interior that operates the idea of using "simple" finishing materials: plywood, glass, ceramic tiles and metal. But this column is not only a silent design element. Twin, as in the bunker, is stored in the second holiness after the plate the kitchen equipment refrigerator.
Kitchen-block
The question of the kitchen layout is quite complicated, especially when it comes to an open-type interior with free zoning. In this case, I want to maintain the integrity of the space and its "transparency" and at the same time achieve the visual displacement of the room. As you know, all ingenious is simple, and many problems can be solved by refusing a traditional look at things. An interesting option proposed by Finnish architects. The kitchen is a kind of block located in almost the center of the house. The role of three partitions play cabinets built into a wooden frame. They are separated from the bottom, and on top are glazed, which gives the design underlined lightness (only from the side of the bathroom walls of the wardrobe cabinets). Actual partitions around the entire perimeter made wide openings through which can be transferred to dishes to any interior zone. At the same time, from the side of the living room and the bathroom, the kitchen looks separate, and to the one who is inside it, the space seems completely open!
Kitchen plus living room
A lot of advantages and disadvantages are said about the benefits and disadvantages. It is an at least the kitchen option + living room finds more and more fans among the architects and among the owners of the apartments. We give, in our opinion, a successful example of combining the kitchen with dining area and living room areas. A wide stepped partition laid out of a brick, on the one hand, is part of the living room (the sofa and pouf are attached close to it), and on the other, the same partition, but already lined with ceramic tiles, performs the function "Apron" above the desktop. In addition, its lower, the widest "stage" serves as the basis for a round wooden table top.
Luminous partitions
Wonderful when decorative effect is combined with impeccable functionality. The kitchen designed by Finnish designers is separated from the interior by partitions of different heights. The upper part of the partitions is made of translucent plastic and is equipped with a built-in backlight system (such structures are quite simple from a technical point of view). Thus, natural and artificial lighting complement each other, and the glowing walls with minimal cost (plastic box plus LEDs) look extremely modern and stylish.
Table- "Promoter"
Everyone who is constantly engaged in cooking is known to know one kitchen paradox: no matter what kind of size is the worktop, it always turns out to be not great enough to fit on it everything you need. Universal output is proposed by Italian designers: a rectangular panel is hidden under the main table top, which can be retractable (rotated along the axis by 90) as needed. The mounting in such structures can be both a conventional metal bar with a ring-holder and a rather complex device, including pneumatic.
