Simple forms, symmetry, discreet decor andmuted tones are the first associations with the words "classic style". Using the best works of Russian professionals as an example, we will consider how to create a classic kitchen interior so that it is modern, interesting and fashionable. There are great works of art, unrivaled models of cars have been created, and there are interior solutions that embody the human desire for comfort, reliability and beauty - this is called classics. Classicism, having rethought baroque and rococo canons of antiquity, in its pure form remained a historical phenomenon, becoming the basis for various trends. Modern classic style is the use of elements of past styles together with the trends and materials of today. Vadim Martynov, architect: - This kitchen was designed for a country house with a total area of 550 sq. m. The customer did not want to combine the rooms, as it was necessary to maintain the respectability of the dining room-living room. www.ammg.ru
Vadim Martynov, architect:— At the same time, high demands were placed on the kitchen in terms of “parade” and functionality. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary household appliances and is designed in a classic spirit, the equipment was selected accordingly. The sink by the window makes the process of washing dishes more enjoyable. The stove with a hood, which was so neatly integrated into the overall line of wall cabinets, is the central element of the composition, located according to the principle of symmetry, important for the classics. The colors are calm, warm, and the combination of matte and glossy surfaces gives a special sophistication. www.ammg.ru
Forms and space The classical style is characterized by:
- free space;
- High ceilings;
- clear zoning of premises;
- Architectural elements in the interior - columns, pilasters, cornices, pediments;
- Straight lines and laconic forms;
- The integrity of the perception of the elements of furniture and parts of the decor.
Victoria Smirnova, designer:— One of the wishes when designing a kitchen for a family with two children was to create a light and bright space. Convenient both for cooking, which is the customer's hobby, and for family recreation. The layout of a three-room apartment in the P-44T series houses allows you to move the entrance to the kitchen through the living room. Having overcome a difficult approval process, tall cabinets with appliances were placed in a niche that was previously a corridor. https://www.facebook.com/victoria.smirnova.12
Victoria Smirnova, designer:— The kitchen set from the English classic series was chosen in Stylish Kitchens. It was decided to implement this model in a basic cream color without using gold, silver and other decorative elements. The Giorgiocasa dining group, headed by a small sofa, is conveniently located in an ideal place — in the bay window, thanks to which the kitchen is always full of light. www.facebook.com/victoria.smirnova.12
Furniture in classic style Kitchen setIn this style direction — elegant and majestic, from natural expensive materials: valuable wood species, patination, granite or marble, gilded or bronze fittings or their imitation. Characteristic of the classics are tall wall-mounted and free-standing kitchen cabinets, the facades of which can be glazed, ornamented, decorated with discreet carving. Another feature is unique kitchen hoods, plaster or metal, often made to order. Kristina Stavskaya, architect: — The classic style in the kitchen interior is perfect for those who appreciate elegant luxury and richness of decoration. The furniture company "Mirth" helped to implement an original solution for bright and ambitious customers and at the same time emphasize their status and good taste. This kitchen, according to all the classical canons, is characterized by symmetry, clear rectangular shapes and strict lines. The center of symmetry is the stove, which is decorated with decorative tiles with plant patterns. All household appliances are masterfully hidden behind a magnificent deep blue facade. www.idealhome.kiev.ua
Kristina Stavskaya, architect:— The kitchen set with refined lines in the outlines and intricate patterns in the decorative elements of the furniture is made of valuable wood species, which is in perfect harmony with the marble floor. Wooden panels, made in the same tone as the kitchen set, unite everything into a single integral space and give a special magnificence to the interior. The result has become a good foundation for new family traditions and is ideal for creating culinary masterpieces. www.idealhome.kiev.ua
Decor of the room in a classic designdiscreetly decorated with expensive but unpretentious details. Crystal lamps are often used, massive, consisting of many elements. Mirrors and paintings in baguettes are arranged symmetrically and according to a clearly defined design logic. And the addition of various antiques in combination with a modern interior looks stylish and interesting. Alena Franchyan, architect: - This project is not typical for our bureau: the owner of the built house asked us to create a technical assignment for each room for a construction company and a carpentry factory, which, according to her idea, should subsequently independently develop the project. The kitchen space is not a separate room, but a dedicated area in the formal dining room. The kitchen and the main dining room are separated by elegantly decorated arched portals. www.faberfm.ru
Alena Franchyan, architect:— Before starting work, we decided on the color scheme that appealed to the client, and also jointly selected prototypes of those interiors, the style of which was to be eclectically woven into the scale of the existing premises. The owner of the house’s favorite is the decoration of some rooms in the San Souci palace and some examples of Italian Rococo rooms. The kitchen furniture is the Arcari arredamenti model by Venezia cucina, purchased long before the house was completed. www.faberfm.ru Maya Vasyagina, designer: — The luxurious kitchen-dining room in a classic style was designed for the Italian factory Aster. The color — ivory with patina — and carved elements on the cornice, decorative columns added elegance, and the large area of glazing helped to make the kitchen light, airy and at the same time show off the beautiful collection of dishes that the owner has. The mirror also expanded the space, reflecting the large window and filling the room with light. www.anticastyle.ru
Бытовая техника в классическом интерьере Так since household appliances do not fit well into a classic interior, they are often hidden behind doors or in separate niches. Kitchen equipment is not always easy to hide in order to maintain stylistic unity. Therefore, leading manufacturers of household appliances . And the works presented by designers illustrate this combination. Veronika Kovaleva, architect: - The classic style in our embodiment is for respectable people who value comfort, smoothness, and fullness of the interior. The peculiarity of these projects lies in the desire of customers to bring a piece of culture and history into their home. Here you will definitely find interior items with historical value, original works of art. This is what makes “classic houses” interesting for us. www.artbaza.studio
Veronika Kovaleva, architect:— As an illustration of what has been said, I suggest looking at the interior of a country house kitchen. This project has already been implemented. The kitchen manufacturer here is the most proven one — Scavolini Baltimora. The furniture has verified, extremely harmonious proportions. No unnecessary monograms, patterns, embellishments. Light, barely perceptible patina on painted wood, marble countertop. www.artbaza.studio
Veronika Kovaleva, architect:— I would like to place special emphasis on equipment. About 7-10 years ago, we were in dire need of household items that could fit into a classic interior. It was very difficult to maintain stylistic unity — until manufacturers paid attention to this problem. Several suitable series have been released now. We fell in love with the equipment. We highly recommend taking note. www.artbaza.studio
Editorial staff of etk-fashion.com has studied in detail the new product that professionals love. It turned out to be a line of kitchen equipment. The collection includes ovens, hobs (induction, glass-ceramic and gas), hoods and microwave ovens. The designers of the Electrolux Rococo collection have created equipment that has presented the cooking process in a new way. It combines an excellent appearance in a classic style and the latest professional technologies. Stoves and ovens are already on sale. The main technical advantage of the Electrolux Rococo oven is the function of cooking dishes in steam modes, which allows you to create fantastic dishes without much effort. etk-fashion.com Ease of use has been brought to perfection:
- The volume of the oven is increased by 25%, while the external dimensions of the device have not changed;
- Telescopic guides can be moved to any level and push the tray with an easy touch;
- Reliable metal handles do not heat up even at very high temperatures inside the oven;
- The oven does not require time-consuming washing thanks toFunctions of steam cleaning. All the walls of the oven (except the bottom) are covered with catalytic enamel, where the contaminants themselves turn into ash at temperatures above 200 ° C. If the dirt gets between the glass doors, you can remove and wash them by hand or in a dishwasher;
- Premium models have a steam function availableoven. Steam combined with heat allows food to remain juicy on the inside, but baked on the outside. Professional chefs in restaurants prepare most dishes in combi steamers. Now you can use professional technology at home, when 25% steam is added to the heating mode (CombiSteam).
The collection is presented in two price segments:four design options. The aesthetic pleasure comes from the combination of materials used - glass or enameled steel, metal fittings, decorative elements. Anna Papusha, architect: - The project was completed at the end of 2015. The house, which is not very large in area, rectangular in cross-section, was initially designed to take into account all the wishes of the customer and be as functional as possible. Initially, the customer wanted to get an interior in a modern style, but then he realized that elegant classics are not subject to fashion trends and have a timeless status. www.pinik.com.ua
Anna Papusha, architect:— The manufacturer of the kitchen set is Martini Mobili, Plays on Design collection. It is made of natural wood, the countertop material is granite. The customers wished for an interior solution in light, warm colors. The decorative elements of the rooms throughout the house have a plant motif — a unique feature of this project. In particular, in the kitchen this theme is supported by the carving on the furniture, the decor of the facades and the pattern on the textiles. The bar stools (Trone Grande) also continue this idea, and the upholstery was specially chosen brighter to enliven the calm tones of the room, add color and contrast. The kitchen island serves as a bar counter, where the owners can sit with friends in a small company, and a place where you can have a snack if you do not want to set a large table. www.pinik.com.ua Anna Vasilyeva, interior designer: — The customers of this project are people over 50, lovers of the classic style. The kitchen area is 20 sq. m is equipped with Italian furniture Ca’d’Oro, model Fortuna. Since this is a country house, I wanted to make the interior fresh and move away from the traditional colors in furniture, often used in our region. To make the classics lighter, I brought in a little irony, which the customers willingly supported and accepted with pleasure. www.anndesign.ru
Anna Vasilyeva, interior designer:— It was decided to place the sink by the window to admire the stunningly beautiful garden. And according to the design brief, in addition to placing various household appliances, additional storage space was provided in the form of beautiful illuminated display cases for dishes. www.anndesign.ru
Violetta Dolgova, designer:— The task was to make a four-room apartment out of a three-room apartment, the style request was classic. The apartment is poorly lit on the north side, the sources of daylight are glazed balconies, which the customers categorically refused to add. Therefore, the idea was born to install a white kitchen from the Italian factory Cesar Cucine, my favorite model Elite. It set the character and style of the entire apartment. www.facebook.com/oceanvio
Elena Pyasetskaya, designer:— There is an unusual story connected with this kitchen — the customer was an architect! From the first moments of our only meeting, his manner of speaking, his precise wording, his sketches surprised me with his approach to design and I was very interested in this project. My works were close to him and we harmoniously embodied the idea of an ideal kitchen. Light classics, bright and cozy — his wishes. The difficulty was in the decision to redevelop, the customer did not immediately accept my version of the kitchen-dining room and scrupulously delved into the engineering part. But as for the color scheme, materials, everything was accepted quickly. The kitchen was literally agreed upon from the first sketch. The project was implemented and we are happy with the result. www.elena-art.ru
Classic style is timeless.This is harmony, practicality and durability. This style emphasizes the good taste of the owners, their status. And is an excellent solution for the kitchen, as it conveys family values and creates a pleasant atmosphere of home comfort.
