You may think that white kitchens are goodlook only in pictures, but in real life, with all its disorder and chaos, there is no place for them. We will prove that beauty, cleanliness and functionality are quite compatible. A white kitchen is a blank sheet on which you can write whatever you want. White will fit into the high-tech style and will be beautiful in a “palace” setting. The main thing is not to forget that behind the external gloss there should be reasonable and convenient content, and to focus not only on beautiful pictures, but also on real needs. Perhaps you have doubts associated with common prejudices about the use of white (especially in the kitchen). We will try to refute them.
White is beautiful, but impractical.
Modern materials repel dirt, exceptMoreover, stains appear in any kitchen, but where will you notice and remove them faster - on a white surface or on a brown one? Choose glossy smooth materials - matte ones get dirty faster, rough surfaces are harder to clean.
Provide a comfortable, roomy sink,to keep it clean easily. For example, a faucet can be mounted to the wall to free up space, or it can be converted into a pull-out shower. It’s great if the sink has a second bowl, a separate faucet for drinking water, and a built-in waste disposer: less splashing, less trash — a clean white kitchen.
Inga Azhgirey, designer:— I like white kitchens at least because decorative accessories — colored decorative spatulas, boards, textiles — can be changed often, and everything will look good and new. When buying, always actively touch the material from which the kitchen will be made, do not be shy. This is necessary to understand how the surface will behave in life. It is best if there are no marks left or if the prints are easily removed. facebook.com/inga.azhgirei The only impractical use of white in the kitchen is, perhaps, the countertop in the work area, which is exposed to the maximum impact: dirt, water, impacts, hot objects. Perhaps it is worth equipping the kitchen with the maximum number of boards and stands or choosing the most suitable material, taking into account all its To reduce the dirt on the lower cabinets, let the countertop protrude slightly forward and protect from splashes.
Asya Bondareva, designer:— I recommend ordering countertops after the kitchen has been installed, since correct measurements can only be taken after the kitchen set has been fully assembled, which will allow you to get a perfectly fitted surface. The process will take a little longer, but the result is worth it. bondarevadesign.ru
White will not tolerate disorder
Easy to answer:"then don't create a mess" - but how? Indeed, clutter on a white background is somewhat more noticeable than, say, on a gray one. But there is a solution - make sure that you fully utilize all the storage space in the kitchen. Check - are you satisfied with the size and placement of all the drawers and shelves before buying. Why not immediately provide, for example, a place to store bottles?
Narrow pull-out shelves are great for storing spice jars and saving space. And don't forget the main thing: they are convenient and high-quality.
The side open shelves on the lower level are suitable for storing truly relevant, beautiful and used things - for example, cookbooks.
But the upper area of the kitchen can be used by installing a railing - a metal tube or strip on which you can hang baskets, hooks for spatulas and skimmers, and even frying pans.
Closed cabinets can perform two functions at oncefunctions - to hide or to unobtrusively demonstrate. Close the door of the shelf with the microwave oven if it does not fit into the interior, but put your favorite tea set in an elegant glass cabinet, so it will be visible, but safe from dust and pets.
Open shelves are a solution for neat peopleand natural-born decorators. If you display vases or beautiful plates and glasses on them, they will certainly attract attention. But if you plan to keep old pans and lids on open shelves, it is better to put them in wire or wicker baskets.
Inga Azhgirey, designer:— When choosing a kitchen set, simply lay out all your dishes — large and small, appliances and accessories — and take a close look at them. Is that all or are you planning to buy more? As a result, you will understand what volume of drawers for large dishes you need to provide, how many pull-out drawers for small items. As for open shelves — if you are not ready to maintain perfect order and arrange cups by height and color, then instead of the desired feeling of lightness and spaciousness you will simply get a mess. It is better to have neat closed drawers, even in a small kitchen, than a sea of things on an open shelf. facebook.com/inga.azhgirei If you store something on kitchen cabinets right under the ceiling, then most likely this is something that you use very rarely. Perhaps, in some cases, it is better to refuse wall cabinets altogether. You can also store all the necessary items in low or high narrow floor cabinets, but perhaps this is an option for a large kitchen and extremely thoughtful housekeeping.
Many items in the kitchen are made of metal,That's why magnetic strips for storage will come in handy - both vertical and horizontal. First of all, it's convenient for storing knives, but you can, for example, attach a notepad to magnets for notes and notes.
White is boring
White is sometimes considered too sterile andthink that a white kitchen will look like an operating room. But unlike dark shades, white practically radiates light, and you can add warmth and brightness to it with textiles, accessories, and decor. White is a universal color and looks good in any combination. Choose: bright details, black and white graphics, or a combination with pastel shades.
Why not add some variety to your interior with textures? White looks great with wood, metal, tiles. There are plenty of ways to make your kitchen
Asya Bondareva, designer:— In my opinion, you shouldn’t be afraid of white kitchens, they give the room a feeling of spaciousness and cleanliness. It’s also a very good background for a smart kitchen apron and beautiful dishes. So, go for it! bondarevadesign.ru Finally, make room for fresh flowers in your white kitchen — they will always delight, inspire and lift your spirits.
