Errors in the design of a small kitchen

1. Eracted space

On a small area, the fight is literally for each centimeter, so it is worth considering the layout in advance and the optimal size of the furniture. For example, a large dining table will accurately eat almost all useful space.

It is better to replace it with more compact models, organize a dining area behind the bar counter, on the windowsill or at all take it out of the room - where there will be enough space for the large table.

You can always find additional storage spaces - the same window sill or space under the ceiling can bring you a lot of benefit.

2. Only open or closed storage systems

Open storage systems We often see in Western projects, they add air space, but their abundance can create an impression of disorder.

However, only closed cabinets are not the best solution. They can not only visually drag the space, but also complicate the work: there are many things in the kitchen, which should be at hand - it is better to place them on the rails, shelves, worktop, so that you should not constantly open the doors and rummet the boxes.

The optimal option is furniture that combines open and closed storage systems. The first are intended for items of constant need, the second - in order to use infrequently or simply looks ugly.

Mentioned rails and shelves should also be used - just need to know the measure.

3. All household appliances in sight

Even if you decide to issue a space in the style of High-tech, which honors modern technique, put all his arsenal is not worth it. He will only create a visual noise.

Leave out in sight of the items that you most often use: Coffee machine, kettle, food processor. Other technique, like electric shredders and steamer, it is better to hide in the cabinets and get it if necessary.

4. Bad lighting

Lack of lighting and one-only huge chandelier visually reduce the size of any room, but in the kitchen also make cooking uncomfortable.

Exit - Thinking up several lighting scenarios in the room: top light, light in the cooking zone and over the dining table.

Look at the ceiling spot, especially with the possibility of adjustment - they will help to direct the light where you need.

Real example: Draft small kitchen with bar counter

The interior is created on the contrast of glossy and matte surfaces. Bar rack - an extra room for lightweight trapes, but also the winning reception of zoning space

The effect of the color composition is enhanced by the game of the contrast of glossy and matte surfaces, the variety of textures. The latter is more than enough: metal, glass, plastic, brick, ceramics, wood. The glossy surfaces differ differently and artificial light in different ways, so the interior is perceived in the afternoon and in the evening.

In addition, the neutral matte background as if enriched with a gloss. Brilliant details create a cheerful mood, and the kitchen furniture, trimmed under the wood, give the modern small kitchen traditional appearance.

Materials

Walls: Valpaint decorative plaster.
Floors: Quick-Step laminate.
Apron: Porcelanosa tile.

Svetlana Okhotnova, project author

The apartment was designed for a girl. Perhaps, therefore, the "traditional comfort" was not focused in the interior. At the heart of all my projects - the possibility of transformation. With age, both perception and style and color addiction are changed. Initially, the interior concept was based on the use of achromatic colors: white and gray, and for contrast - black and brown. However, during the repair period, I visited Spain, and an unplanned turquoise tone appeared under the impression of a trip in the interior.
