Photo: mastermebeli-katalog.ru When planning a kitchen, the first question that arises is its practicality and functionality. But is this a reason to sacrifice aesthetics and beauty? Interior design has its own trends and current events, and fashion is still changeable. We have collected for you the most interesting and new trends of 2022 so that your kitchen is not only comfortable, but also stylish!
What color to choose for kitchen design in 2019?
Just the other day, professionals from the Pantone Color Institute announced that Pantone 16-1546 Living Coral was chosen as the official color of 2022.
But in the kitchen in 2019, the trend is deep dark shades: blue, black, gray, green. But white kitchens are outdated.
Don't limit yourself to one shade! 2022 is the year of unusual mixtures and mixtures, so feel free to combine two or more shades in the kitchen.

Small kitchens - more and more often and better
Now is the era of business people, and the kitchen, allocated to a large room, ceases to be an “essential” item. Often they leave a small room for the kitchen or combine it, making a full-fledged living room with a corner for cooking.
Another factor that contributes to the choice of this option for the kitchen is that there is now a much larger variety of kitchen furniture on the market, and you can easily match it with the rest of the interior of a large room, combining or separating spaces for relaxation and eating.
Although many even prefer to live in rented apartments and order food delivered to their home, because it’s easier for them. Therefore, even daily apartment rentals are in great demand, especially among travelers. And in such apartments there is absolutely no need for a large kitchen.
Unusual wallpaper or wall tiles 2019
Of course, wallpaper manufacturers did not stand aside either. In hardware stores you can find unusual colors and patterns, and the quality of wallpaper has improved significantly - now you can also find washable ones with beautiful patterns that won’t look like cheap film.
Which style to choose for the kitchen in 2022?
Exclusive eclecticism - this is how you can characterize the most popular style in kitchen design in 2022.
There is no need to follow the canons of one single style! In 2019, this is not fashionable, and in everyday life it is impractical. Mix, experiment, mix!
Designers recommend choosing minimalism or English country as basic styles.

What layout will be popular in the new season?
The layout is not a tribute to fashion. It needs to be chosen in such a way that it is practical and convenient (we talked about how to do this here).
But there is one innovation: multi-level islands have sunk into oblivion. If your kitchen has enough space for an island, let it be single-level and not clutter up the visual space of the kitchen.

Selecting a layout type
Before you begin renovations, you need to approach the planning stage wisely. This is necessary in order to minimize unnecessary expenses, set deadlines for each operation, have a clear action plan and a list of people who are responsible for and carry them out, and of course, so that the result of the repair pleases you for as long as possible.
A huge selection of non-standard design solutions is presented here https://interer.guru.
The very first tools that should be included in your arsenal will be a ruler, tape measure, pencil and a sheet of paper. First, decide what functions, in addition to the main one, the kitchen space will need to perform. Perhaps you will place a dining area there, or maybe just a cozy sofa for relaxing.
Designers identify 5 options for the location of kitchen furniture. In the picture below you can see the location of each zone.
It must be emphasized that owners of small apartments will benefit from the design of corner and straight kitchens. But owners of large areas do not have to limit themselves and come up with a kitchen interior design without relying on dimensions.
When developing a zoning plan, answer several important questions for yourself: approximately how much time are you going to spend in the kitchen every day, what equipment will you need, its dimensions, where will the sockets and lighting fixtures be located, how many people will be in the kitchen at the same time at lunch, is it necessary additional space in case guests arrive.
Such a survey will allow you to rationally approach the issue of selecting materials, choosing kitchen and dining furniture, and will also “voice” in advance the need to install additional sockets and wires.
What is fashionable to cover walls with?
Moroccan tiles. Not necessarily completely, as it is very bright and dynamic.
Printed tiles will go well with plain wallpaper for the kitchen or walls painted in a neutral shade.
Light design
The antipode of a bright kitchen will be a light interior design - this is the choice of conservatives, adherents of the classics in interior design. A kitchen in a light palette always looks neat, spacious, and airy. Muted colors can successfully disguise the imperfections of a room and hide uneven walls and floors. But the main advantage of a light kitchen is the ability to create an interior in any style, be it lush Baroque or laconic Scandinavia. Selecting shades will not be difficult - they combine perfectly with each other and do not create a tacky look.
The most popular palette for a light kitchen:
- white;
- pale green;
- Ivory;
- sand;
- pale pink;
- cappuccino;
- pearl;
- light blue.
To prevent the room from seeming boring and monotonous, be sure to use bright accents - textiles, upholstery on chairs, tablecloths and pillows. A good solution would be a colored work apron or an entire wall, which will contrast with the overall decor.
What should gender be like in 2022?
Bright and patterned. Tile works best for this task, but if you prefer a warm wooden floor, lay down a carpet with a geometric or monogram print.
How to choose a kitchen set in 2022?
Natural wood is again at the peak of popularity. Raw textures fit well into country style, but modern polished facades are also relevant.
Designers also recommend combining modules of two or three colors to make the kitchen design look lively and dynamic.
Textile finishing
You should use textile finishing only strictly with an eye to the style that is inherent in the entire kitchen. In modern kitchens of 2022, complete freedom is given when choosing textiles.
You can use blinds, preferably vertical ones with an unusual texture or even pattern. You can use bamboo straws if the kitchen is designed in an oriental style, for example, Japanese or Chinese.
You can choose Roman blinds - they will fit into the classic style as elegantly as possible. Elegant thread curtains can also be used in modern or high-tech style.
And, of course, classic curtains made of not very heavy fabrics in combination with transparent plain tulles remain in fashion.
What you need to know about facades?
Three types of facades will be fashionable this year:
- matte
- super glossy
- mesh
The latter fit perfectly into the loft style, and look very fresh and unusual. But their use is limited exclusively to the kitchen; they will not be suitable for bedroom design in 2022, but what do you mean, what can we expect in other seasons?

Furniture and appliances
In addition to decorative finishing (wallpaper, apron) and room layout, an important point is the choice of furniture and appliances.
White kitchen
One of the most popular modern ideas in the interior of the kitchen in 2019 is an all-white finish with white furniture and appliances.
See our catalog for real examples of such kitchens.
A snow-white space can be diluted with rare color accents, for example, fresh flowers, dishes or lamps.
An all-white kitchen is a real fashion statement that is truly worth the investment.
Without upper facades
The popularity of kitchen cabinets with doors is fading, given the new trends for open shelves.
Open shelves look organically in country, boho, and Scandinavian styles. This technique is suitable for both large and small rooms. Open facades visually increase the space due to air and the absence of overhanging heavy cabinets.
In large rooms, open shelves will create an atmosphere of comfort, because, in addition to dishes and kitchen utensils, you can place interesting decorative elements and bright accessories on them.
Open facades look good in any kitchen: corner, linear, etc.
Vintage equipment
Surprisingly, the fashionable interior of a modern kitchen is not a high-tech room, but a cozy country-style room.
Furniture facades decorated in vintage style and appliances hidden behind retro facades are the hottest trend in kitchen design in 2022.
Even if you have a room with a regular refrigerator, it can be built into a special cabinet decorated with vintage style.
Of course, such furniture and equipment will most likely have to be made to order, but in some antique stores you can purchase, for example, an antique coffee grinder or a retro French press, which will become an interior decoration
Bar counter
A bar counter is often used to separate the kitchen from the living room. This interior element still looks stylish and modern. In addition, bar counters are very functional and can even replace a dining table.
In a small room you can also install a stand. If you choose not a simple one, but a multifunctional one, then it will replace not only a dining place, but also kitchen shelves for storing dishes and food.
Kitchen with island
The island is an additional work area. Modern kitchen design involves the use of an island for large spaces.
For a small room, a bar counter is best, and a large one can be zoned using an island, which is usually installed in the middle. It can act as a dining and work area, as well as a place to store utensils and dishes.
Work area by the window
A trend that comes from America is a work area by the window. Open windows themselves greatly increase the space, and therefore installing a countertop opposite the window sill is an excellent solution for the external design of the kitchen and for its functionality.
If the tabletop is also a window sill, then this is a very fashionable and modern idea. In this case, it is better to abandon the curtains and leave the window completely open. This way there will be even more space in the kitchen due to the light from the window.
Sofa in the kitchen
Fusion in interior design has recently become very popular. A mix of different styles within one room creates a unique atmosphere.
If there is a sofa in the dining area, then this adds a hundred points to the comfort of the room. A soft sofa with upholstery that matches the style or covered with an interesting blanket will fit perfectly into any kitchen, up to the loft style.
In addition, a sofa can play the role of a space divider into zones if it stands between the living room and the work or dining area.
How to store dishes in the kitchen?
The trend of abandoning the top line of kitchen furniture in favor of open shelves for storing utensils will continue in 2022.
In the new season, this trend is changing and, in addition to ordinary shelves, designers are actively using glass shelving on a metal frame in their projects.
For large kitchen utensils (pots, jugs, stewpans) you will need deep drawers. You can also store spices and seasonings in them.
Neoclassical style
A neoclassical kitchen involves the use of furniture and interior elements of an aristocratic character. But, unlike the usual classics, there will be fewer relief and decorative details, bulky and majestic furniture. The interior of the kitchen should include light furniture and sets of the natural spectrum - gray, milky, sand, white. An exquisite inclusion will be details with silver and mother-of-pearl tints, creating a unique and noble combination with ivory color. This combination is implemented on all surfaces - furniture facades, curtains, wallpaper and textiles.
To decorate the walls and floors, they certainly use expensive, preferably natural materials - parquet or terrace boards, ceramic or artificial stone, granite, marble, textile or paper wallpaper. And all this in a neutral, discreet palette.
What to sit on in the kitchen?
No stools! Only armchairs or bar stools, for example in Scandinavian style.
What kitchen countertops will be trending?
Granite is becoming less common in new kitchen designs, largely due to its porosity and impracticality.
But quartz confidently occupies a leading position.
Unusual concrete countertops that smoothly flow into the apron will continue to be popular.
And especially their “terrazzo” variety.
Kitchen countertops made of natural wood are coming back into fashion, even taking into account the fact that they are in many ways inferior to stone ones in quality and durability.
For more information on the pros and cons of all countertop materials, see our infographic.
Modern household appliances
Another mandatory attribute of the kitchen of the future is an interior filled with ultra-modern appliances and electronics, which can be controlled remotely through smartphone applications. And also “smart” hoods that independently select the mode, depending on the saturation of the air with vapors and odors; climate control; equipment that can prepare a full dinner before family members return from work or school.
And, of course, various little things that make life easier: a household waste shredder in the sink, a wine cabinet, cutting boards with electronic scales.
Which sink to choose for your kitchen design in the new season?
Unusual: bronze, copper, ceramic, stone.
Or an ultra-modern metal one, with a bunch of devices and closing panels.
How to design a kitchen apron in 2022?
Tile for kitchen backsplash is more relevant than ever. It can be Moroccan or regular white, but with colored “seams”.
It will be interesting to look at laying tiles that imitate the mesh that is fashionable this season.
Kitchen shape: choosing a design
The kitchen of a private house is, for the most part, guaranteed spaciousness. To create a functional and comfortable interior, you should take into account the shape of the room.
Bright decor will enliven even the darkest room
The room can be of a familiar shape or have a non-standard layout.
Square is the best option
This form is one of the simplest and most convenient to design. Functionality and comfort with the correct shape of the room and a large area are not difficult to implement.
Functionality and comfort
The square shape allows you to position the furniture set even on three sides. In this case, the dining area can occupy the center of the room.
If it is more convenient to move it to a free wall, then you can use, for example, photo wallpaper, wood stylization, or use a contrasting background to decorate a vertical surface.
We place the furniture set on three sides
If the square kitchen in a private house is small, then it is better to place the work area furniture along one wall. In this case, you will have to take into account the location of the window.
When decorating walls with wallpaper, you can give freedom to your imagination - in a room of this shape, almost any wallpaper will look beautiful.
Don't be afraid to give free rein to your imagination
Dining furniture for this kitchen should preferably have a large comfortable table and equally comfortable chairs.
Narrow and long room: overcoming planning difficulties
A private house can be designed not only with a square kitchen, but also with a narrow one. This problem will have to be overcome with the help of a selected design. An important task is to visually expand the space.
A large dining table is very practical in the interior
For this, it is good to use light shades in the interior. Which style do you prefer? Provence is one of the best options if this style blends organically with the interior of the rest of the premises.
Provence is natural, gravitates towards light shades and gives the room a lightness that is so lacking in a long narrow space.
The light range of shades adds lightness
What else should I do? One of the requirements is not to clutter or weigh down the space.
Appliances and furniture should only be necessary. If there are lockers that are not particularly needed, we eliminate them.
It is very important not to clutter even a large room
Do you like to arrange souvenirs on shelves and hang pictures on the walls? They will also have to be abandoned.
We decorate the windows with attractive and always light curtains. Unfortunately, the dining area does not fit into the too narrow space of the kitchen.
Window decoration with light curtains
Non-standard layout: shape dictates design
Unusual layouts require individual design. The design of such a kitchen must take into account the curves of the walls, the number and size of windows.
Each kitchen is individual, just like its owners
The set for a non-standard room design is selected according to specific parameters.
What accessories should be in the kitchen?
Brass. Mixers, fittings, handles on the stove, a hood box or a protective panel over the cutting surface - brilliant solutions are relevant in 2022. In all senses.
And in the new season, fashionable kitchen design cannot do without indoor plants.
These can be ordinary flowers in pots or entire vertical gardens, allowing you to harvest from the garden all year round.
Dark kitchens are still in fashion
Some famous designers suggest including at least one dark color in the kitchen design to create a strong accent in the color composition. What is innovative in this solution today is the search for contrast and compatibility. Typically, dark colors are offset by lighter or brighter colors, offering color contrast that is pleasing to the eye.
The example below shows interesting solutions in kitchen design in the form of a combination of shades of wine and gray, as well as decoration in a vintage style. All this allows you to create a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen interior. It was this solution that made it possible to combine the modern high-tech image of the kitchen with its “old-fashioned” comfort.
A combination of wine color with black and gray shades
There is another approach to color design, which is to use natural shades. Inspiration from nature in the form of such an extremely attractive material as veneer is just one example. In the image above you can see a combination of two identical materials - oak. One is whitewashed, the other is Brazilian gloss.
Important! Veneer takes center stage in kitchen design, adding a unique touch to the composition, which is modern and at the same time functional.
What lamps are needed for the kitchen in the new season?
Say no to bright and faceless white lighting!
Soft, warm and colorful multi-level lighting is in fashion, imperceptibly enveloping your kitchen in an atmosphere of comfort.
As for lamps, the hottest trend is a few low-hanging (eye level) ceiling lights.
Which curtains to choose for the kitchen in 2022?
Blinds are again becoming a subject not only for office, but also for home interiors.
But fabric curtains for the kitchen are also fashionable.
Roman curtains with a large monogram print are well suited for the kitchen (just carefully combine it with another trend - Moroccan tiles on the walls, or better yet, limit yourself to just one) or long floor-length curtains made of a combined fabric (designers like it for the feeling of depth and dynamic curves ).
How to choose household appliances for the kitchen?
First of all, no steel surfaces! Only bright, catchy, unusual design.
Secondly, the glass of a microwave or oven stained with fingerprints looks depressing, so in the new season designers recommend placing these devices in the bottom line of the kitchen unit so that they do not catch the eye.
And thirdly, digitalization is rapidly conquering and subjugating the world, so even in the kitchen, digital assistants are an absolute must-have for 2022.
What to consider when decorating a kitchen?
The most difficult task during a kitchen renovation is starting this renovation. It’s not clear what to grab onto, what to focus on, how not to make a mistake. After all, the kitchen is one of the most complex rooms in any apartment: here you cook, relax, meet friends, and celebrate holidays.
First of all, you will definitely need a design project, for the development of which we will consider the main interior trends. He will help you decide on the layout, choice of furniture and household appliances.
Plumbing work, installation of electrical wiring, installation of ventilation, installation of windows, doors and lighting are carried out separately. When choosing materials, keep in mind that the kitchen is always subject to humidity, temperature fluctuations, grease, stains and dust. All surfaces must be wear-resistant, resistant to household chemicals and, ideally, easy to clean.
What refrigerators will be fashionable?
Unusual, bright, with drawings. Anything but boring stainless steel sheets!
And definitely high, right up to the ceiling. Ideally double-leaf.
This is very practical in terms of organizing space. But alas, not every kitchen can have such a refrigerator. We told you how to organize a functional interior for a small kitchen here.
Digital technologies
Digital technologies will continue to influence innovation and new conveniences in the kitchen, providing homeowners with increasingly specific appliances tailored to their tastes. Coffee makers with Wi-Fi can make your morning coffee before you even get out of bed. For wine connoisseurs, large wine refrigerators and restaurant-quality storage systems have been created.
What cookstoves are trending?
Induction cookers are a great solution for a small kitchen. They are compact, beautiful, functional. The only drawback is that you will have to buy the oven separately.
If you are more inclined to traditional models, then be sure to choose ones with colorful and cheerful facades so that your stove becomes a worthy decoration of the kitchen.
Metal in the interior
Metallized furniture facades are in favor. If earlier metallic was used in the high-tech direction, today it is used to decorate a wide variety of interiors. The designers also paid attention to the noble shine of golden brass accents, which gives the room a rich, respectable look. The photo shows a stylish design of a modern kitchen:
