According to the author and host of the TV project “Madewith taste" by Lena Usanova, the kitchen is the heart of every home. Today we will tell you how to create a functional art space for a large family from an unfinished and empty kitchen. The task of the new TNT TV project "Made with taste" is to "pump up" an old and inconvenient kitchen with the help of experienced designers. The heroes of the first program were Michael and Olya, a young family with two children. Michael and Olya Michael and Olya have been married for 4 years, but the protracted renovation in their apartment has significantly spoiled their life. There is practically no furniture or even a stove in the kitchen, so the hostess cooks dinners for a large family in a multicooker. Michael and Olya are a very temperamental couple, so the designer's task was not only to create the most functional space, but also to bring original stylistic solutions to the interior. The only bright spot that was in the old kitchen was a faded poster with a view of Manhattan, the heroine's favorite place. Designer Tatyana Zhivolupova took this detail as the basis for the idea of the design project. Tatyana Zhivolupova, interior designer Tatyana Zhivolupova has 10 years of professional practice behind her, creating interiors of apartments and country houses in Russia and abroad. Under her leadership, a private design studio was created in Moscow, and her extensive experience allowed her to bring together a group of first-class specialists.

Since the only pieces of furniture inThe old kitchen had only plastic chairs, a broken sofa, and a microwave and a multicooker as appliances, but the designer's imagination was not limited. The first thing the designer thought through was the functionality of the kitchen. Tatyana Zhivolupova planned the work area opposite the window, thereby increasing the illumination of the surface. The new kitchen allowed for all the necessary appliances to be accommodated: a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a hob, and an oven. A waste disposer installed in the sink became a very convenient and functional solution.
The kitchen area is only 10 sq. m.m, so in order to visually expand the space, the designer suggested installing hidden doors, without frames and in the color of the walls. The main accent of the interior was a wall with an image of a New York street. The designer embodied it by applying a fresco to a sheet of plasterboard, retreating from the wall by 10 cm. The image increases the space, leveling out the dark shades of the walls and kitchen apron. LED lighting was installed between the wall and the sheet of plasterboard, when turned on, it creates an imitation of burning city windows. Part of the fresco above the work surface, to avoid splashes and drops, is covered with tempered glass. Another interesting design find was a table stylized as the Brooklyn Bridge. The base of the table was made of stone panels, and the surface was tempered glass.
The kitchen walls are decorated with texturedbrutal gray plaster. On the floor - light laminate, matching the color of the kitchen facades. The wall and kitchen countertop are covered with a beautiful chocolate-colored mosaic. Interesting accessories were the lamps above the dining area and the clock, selected taking into account the chosen loft style.
As a result, in a short time, the designer and the team of the project "Made with taste" managed to transform the empty, uncomfortable kitchen space into an elegant and stylish loft-style interior. tnt-online.ru
