A small kitchen and its decor is a taskof increased complexity for both apartment residents and designers. But there are many simple and original solutions that will help achieve good results. We have made for you a selection of interesting accessories and useful ideas for decorating a small kitchen. A small kitchen is difficult, but far from a diagnosis. A small room wins due to the fact that it is simpler and easier to create a truly homey atmosphere there. You just have to correctly solve the problems of zoning, lighting and decor. Let's see what parameters you should pay attention to first.
Details make the interior
Very often the decor of a small kitchen takesmuch more time than its layout. A small room that is designed to accommodate a lot of useful things does not encourage excesses. But there are several basic rules that will help you decorate the room correctly and visually enlarge it. Pay attention to the choice of furniture. It is better to use built-in or what designers affectionately call a "flying structure". If you place the cutting table in the center of the kitchen, then it can simultaneously be used as a cabinet and as a place to store cutlery. To create a cozy home atmosphere, use cookbooks, small vases (vertical), beautifully decorated pepper shakers and salt shakers in sets, wicker baskets, clay or stone accessories. This is appropriate even if your apartment is decorated in a modern style.
Accents
Interior accents are a separate story.With their help, you can achieve excellent results. If the entire room is kept in light colors, and curtains, vases or cabinet doors are decorated in a contrasting color, this will help to focus attention on the decor, and not on the area of the room. Remember that any bright island of color attracts attention, makes the room visually warmer (not to be confused with temperature perception). The list of visual "useful things" can include handmade paintings, vases, coasters for dishes, shelves for glasses and bottles, stands for knives, for books.
Decor
The decor itself is more of aaesthetic component of the project. But in some cases it performs very specific tasks. For example, recreating elements of a certain style or era. Pay attention to the pendant lights with bottle caps, the colored rug on the floor, the striped vases in the Provence style. It would seem that this is not a fundamental detail, but it is worth removing them - and this will no longer be a cozy kitchen of a country house, but a kitchen in the apartment of young modern artists.
Our opinion: - Color is the basis of everything.If the kitchen is small, it is worth giving preference to light shades. Against the background of light walls, any contrasting decor will work as a powerful accent. So, against a cream background, mint-colored dishes and watercolors will look like elements of the Provence style, and red flower pots and curtains with ruffles will take you to England at the beginning of the last century. Try to maintain proportions. In a small kitchen, there should not be too large decor, otherwise the effect of "Alice in Wonderland" will arise. And do not be afraid to experiment, what you consider an interior nightmare can make your kitchen visually more spacious, beautiful and cozy. Go for it!
