The design of this room was developed taking into accountnot only its great length and small width, but also several other factors. Firstly, a large number of people will have to gather in the kitchen: a large family lives in the apartment. Secondly, only here they have the opportunity to gather all at the same time. For the comfort of the household, the balcony has also become an organic part of the room. Thanks to this solution, the dining area turned out to be quite large and comfortable.
Furnishings
Almost every kitchen has wall-mounted unitscabinets. They are usually placed directly above the work area. But in a narrow room, this technique cannot be used, since it will visually stretch the space even more. In this design solution, wall cabinets in their classic version are not used. Their contents have been moved to the mezzanine, made above the refrigerator.
A column was placed nearby, where kitchen appliances will be located. Another place for storing various utensils is the pull-out drawers built under the seating areas on the former balcony.
Despite its not very convenient dimensionspremises, even a large group of people can sit here comfortably. On both sides of the table there are pull-out sections, which, if necessary, extend it by a total of 60 cm.
Both the bar and dining areas feature pine chairs in the same rustic style, accentuated by the dark stain treatment of these pieces of furniture.
Another seating area is located right next towindows. A solid bench-sofa is a place where you can settle down more freely and comfortably. It is spacious and comfortable to sit here, as soft oriental-style pillows are placed against the back. They have camel wool inside, and the covers are sewn from fabric with colorful, expressive national patterns, giving a special flavor to a standard light room.
Dishwasher and washing machine, as well asfreezer, hidden in the work area: they are covered by the countertop. The hob and sink are not concentrated in one place, they are separated from each other by quite a significant distance.
Among the household appliances used in the arrangement of this room were also a water purification filter and a waste grinder.
The table top is distinguished by its great length,is enough for the entire wall. Thanks to this, it can perform an important mission - to serve as a link between two zones, the dining room and the work area. The material from which the surface is made is artificial stone.
There is a small room located against the opposite wall.a bar counter with a fairly standard purpose. It is a place for quick snacks, for which there is no need to sit down at a table.
The space above the counter is covered with shelves, whereYou can put some decorations and small objects that do not spoil the overall aesthetics. This storage place is not covered by doors and blends in with the wall due to the uniformity of the color.
The kitchen design is made in the spirit of the times, thereforeThe antique display case for dishes stands out from the general style, attracting attention with its uniqueness and expressiveness. This piece of furniture comes from Belgium, the material is walnut veneer. The back wall is covered with a mirror, and the optical effect of expanding and reflecting the space in a narrow kitchen is only beneficial.
Another object that draws attention to itself is a metal object built into one of the walls. This is not just an outlandish-looking thing, but a heating device.
But such a utilitarian item as a sink mixer has absolutely no need to attract attention to itself, so it was made to match the color of the wall - white.
Lighting
The main role in lighting both zones belongs to the elongated lamps attached to the ceiling. There they form a rather interesting composition.
Another light source is also located on the ceiling. This is a device with built-in spotlights.
The sconces mounted on both sides of the antique display case create a light accent.
What modern kitchen can do without LEDs? Strips with miniature bulbs are located in the work and bar areas, as well as near the dining group. There they frame a decorative niche.
In terms of decor, the "queen of light" on thisThe kitchen is decorated with a stylized chandelier installed above the table. Its frame is made of metal, and artificially aged mirror glass is inserted into it. The sockets and lamps imitate lit candles, and all this as a whole is intended to depict an old French lighting fixture.
Wall decoration
The space above the work area is decorated with an apron made of Tunisian majolica in white with blue patterns. It is one of the unique features of this kitchen.
The niche, made where the balcony used to be, also supports the national notes in the design.
Wall finishing material - decorativeplaster that creates a visual effect of a velvety and slightly iridescent surface. This merit belongs to tiny mother-of-pearl particles in the plaster.
Flooring
Since the balcony has made its contribution to the arrangementroom, for additional comfort, a "warm floor" system was used. Its surface was laid with porcelain tiles, choosing the color "burgundy stone". It creates a pleasant to the eye, noble combination with very light walls. In addition, the tiles decorate the floor with light sun glare, since they contain particles of shiny mica.
