The main room in the house has always been the kitchen. Here we cook, drink morning coffee, have dinner as a family and spend time with friends. Even if the home has a spacious living room, the kitchen is always bustling with life. Therefore, you need to think carefully about the layout and design. Some people believe that only a large room can be made comfortable and functional, but this is a misconception. If you properly equip a small space, divide it into zones, and choose a laconic interior design option, then it will also turn out beautiful and cozy.

This space also needs to be designed correctly. It is possible to build a real stone oven here, but it is unlikely to be used daily. Even a small terrace can be easily landscaped: install an electric or gas stove, install a water supply and install a sink. You don't need a lot of furniture on the veranda. A work surface and a few shelves are enough. Jars of cereals, spices and all utensils will remain in the house. The summer kitchen can be turned into a large balcony. The decor on the veranda often differs from the interior style of the entire house. For its design, more wood and other natural materials are used. It is better to entrust the removal of communications to a team of craftsmen, and repairs can be done with your own hands.

Fashionable colors
Not everything that is popular necessarily needs to be integrated into your kitchen. However, there are current shades that almost always fit well into any design style.
For example, white color. It is actively used in minimalism, eco, scandi and discreet modern style, where it often does not dominate, but only contrasts with a stronger dark color.
The design of a white kitchen in a home can be built on gradually filling the space with bright spots in the form of spectacular colored rugs, dark or gray furniture, and contrasting curtains. In other words, white is the base, the background, and we add everything else in accordance with our vision of the optimal kitchen for ourselves.
Gray color is more calm and restrained. It allows you to create a muted color scenario, but no less effective and stylish. It is no coincidence that in one way or another it finds a place for itself in all modern fashion styles.
You will find a stylish selection of gray kitchens here.
Anthracite is also popular. This is an attribute of high-tech or loft, but use it wisely so as not to cause an unpleasant depressing effect.
Mint or heavenly (azure, blue) refreshes the space and charges it with light and energy. It goes well with a Mediterranean interior; it can also often be seen in Scandinavian minimalism.
beige always remains in demand . By itself, it is quite boring, so it requires a thoughtful selection of companions. To do this, it is best to use a color wheel and sequentially try all the shades of one segment first, and then move on to others if you don’t like anything.

But even if you do an “economy” renovation, try to choose high-quality materials for finishing the floor, ceiling and walls. They should not be afraid of high temperatures, constant humidity, grease and drafts. So, paper wallpaper here will last only a year, and washable wallpaper will last at least three.
Ceiling
In a classic interior, the ceiling can be white. If the surface is smooth, it is enough to cover it with a layer of plaster. It breathes, prevents the formation of mold and mildew, and is an environmentally friendly material. The plaster gets dirty quickly, so the ceiling will have to be refreshed every 2-3 years.

To hide communications and unevenness, you can use a suspended ceiling. It is quickly installed, easy to clean, does not require special care and does not lose its presentable appearance for a long time. The design of the canvas can be different: from monochromatic to complex with a thematic pattern. You need to look at what is most suitable for a particular room.
For a medium-height room, a ceiling made of plastic panels is ideal. They come in different colors and differ in width. With their help, they quickly improve any kitchen.
In rooms in Provence and country style, the ceiling is made of wood. If the height allows, it is additionally decorated with logs and beams. This technique is used to create rustic interiors.

Industrial style, or loft
The origin of the style is associated with the conversion of industrial premises into residential ones. The brutality and certain openness of the style will appeal to people of the same type.
Brutal and open style – Loft
Industrial orientation requires the use of cool colors and appropriate materials.
When decorating walls, use real brickwork or:
- imitation brick;
- concrete;
- metal;
- glass blocks.
It is not necessary to decorate the entire kitchen; decorating a relatively small area of the surface in this way, for example, an apron, will be quite enough.
One of the advantages of the industrial style is that utilities and electrical wiring are intentionally left open, which is very convenient when decorating a kitchen. Other features of the style are wide and very high windows, possibly reaching the floor, appropriate ceilings, the absence of curtains, in extreme cases, Roman blinds or floor-length curtains. In an urban environment, a loft will best fit into a penthouse or attic.
A style that is gaining popularity at crazy speed
Furniture needs to be simple and functional, with rough processing, mainly wood or metal:
- cabinets with glass doors;
- open shelves and racks;
- utensils made of clear glass or stainless steel.
The latter material is generally used very widely in this style.
Pay special attention to maximum interior lighting, which is also inherent in a loft.
Arrangement of a kitchen in a private house
It is important that there is nothing superfluous in the kitchen, but at the same time it should be comfortable and functional. To do this, you need to think in detail about equipping the room with appliances and furniture.
The kitchen set is made to order. This allows you to intelligently use every square meter of space. All appliances are installed in the furniture, so before purchasing you need to understand what you will use (for example, a dishwasher).
Loft kitchen in a private house
Kitchen appliances
To create a uniform kitchen style, appliances can be hidden behind furniture fronts. This option is suitable for rooms in Provence, Art Nouveau, eco, and country styles. And in the directions of minimalism and techno, on the contrary, devices should be visible. It is important that they match the style, are steel-colored and have original fittings.
The large kitchen can accommodate a washing machine, dishwasher, oven and hob. It is better to hide a gas boiler in a plasterboard box or in a special cabinet. The refrigerator is placed in a straight line with all other appliances or put away in a niche. There may not be room for a washing machine in a walk-through or kitchenette, so it is better to put it in the garage or bathroom. Do not clutter work surfaces with small household appliances - find a secluded corner for a multicooker, bread machine, coffee machine.

Furniture
Depending on the chosen style, the furniture can be made of wood or plastic. In the kitchen, you need to make the most of all the space.
