The kitchen is an irreplaceable room in the house, thereforehere you shouldn't delay the renovation. Today we asked designers how you can quickly and inexpensively remodel this space. Who among us is not afraid of the word "renovation"? It is not for nothing that they say that it cannot be finished, but only paused. Especially when it comes to the kitchen - the most technically complex space of any apartment. The way out of this situation is to do a quick cosmetic renovation, updating and changing the appearance of the kitchen without affecting its fundamental foundations. What do designers advise on this matter?
Replace textiles
The easiest and least expensive wayThe transformation of the kitchen space will be the change of textiles, since it plays a large role in creating the overall perception of the interior. Ekaterina Stepanova, interior designer: - Buy new curtains with a spring mood, change the upholstery of the chairs or just the pillows on the sofas. The only nuance is that you do not need to make curtains and pillows from the same fabric, and if you are unsure how to properly combine different fabrics, there is a simple way: take one plain fabric, and the other - the same color, but with a pattern. yes-designs.ru Valeria Belousova, interior designer: - As soon as you change the curtains in the kitchen, the room will immediately acquire a fresh look. And if it is a kitchen-dining room, then it is worth choosing new tablecloths, napkins and other textiles. Do not forget about the cabinet handles and wall decor. There is a very creative and economical option for transforming the kitchen: decorate the chandelier, hang photographs on the walls, sew chair covers, and repaint the table. valery-design.com
Lighting design
Light is an important part of the interior, whichskillful use can highlight the advantages of the room and visually correct it. Without significant costs, you can replace the main source of light - a chandelier - with a new one, or decorate it yourself. Ekaterina Stepanova, interior designer: - Lighting plays a key role in creating a mood, but it is important not to swap one awl for another. Want a change? Hang a bright creative chandelier instead of an ordinary lampshade. There are also many ways to decorate lamps with your own hands now. yes-designs.ru
Anton Pechyony, designer of the TV project “Made with Taste”: — Try to use several lighting modes in the kitchen:
- take care of the working surface lighting;
- during the reception of guests a general good light is needed;
- For a cozy evening for two, a sconce in the dining table area will be enough.
It is possible to partially replace the furniture
Changing the entire kitchen set is time-consuming and expensive. That's why designers have suggested more practical ways to change the appearance of the kitchen without changing its foundations.
Valeria Belousova, interior designer:
— To avoid changing the entire furniture, try replacing only the cabinet doors. There are two options:
- order new doors from the manufacturer of your kitchen - they can be of a completely different color, texture or material;
- if funds or time do not allow orderingnew doors, you can paint them or decorate them yourself. The main thing is to know what material they are made of in order to choose the right painting method.

This will immediately refresh the kitchen, and also partially solve the problem of the lack of a work area. Even the window sill will serve as a good work surface if you enlarge it or organize a cozy bar area out of it. shirokovadesign.com
