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, unsurpassed car models have been created, and there are interior solutions that embody the human desire for comfort, reliability and beauty - this is called a classic. Classicism, rethinking the baroque and rococo with the canons of antiquity, remained a purely 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 premises, as it was necessary to preserve the respectability of the dining-living room. www.ammg.ru 
Vadim Martynov, architect:“At the same time, high demands were also made on the kitchen in terms of“ splendor ”and functionality. The kitchen is provided with all the necessary household appliances and is designed in a classic spirit, the appropriate appliances were selected. Washing by the window makes the dishwashing process more enjoyable. The cooker with a cooker hood, which was so neatly integrated into the general line of wall cabinets, is the central element of the composition, arranged according to the principle of symmetry, which is 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 classic 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 a customer's hobby, and for family holidays. 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 the difficult process of approval, the tall cabinets with appliances were placed in a niche that was previously a corridor. https://www.facebook.com/victoria.smirnova.12

Household appliances in a classic interior Sincehousehold appliances do not fit well into the classic interior; they are often hidden behind doors or in separate niches. Kitchen equipment is not always easy to hide in order to maintain a consistent style. Therefore, the leading manufacturers of household appliances. And the works presented by the 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 surely come across interior items with historical value, originals of works of art. That is why “classic houses” are interesting for us. www.artbaza.studio

It was very difficult to maintain stylistic unity - until the manufacturers paid attention to this problem. Several suitable episodes have now been released. We loved the equipment. We strongly advise you to take note. www.artbaza.studio

The house, which has a small area, rectangular in cross-section, was originally designed to take into account all the wishes of the customer and to be as functional as possible. Initially, the client 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:- Kitchen set manufacturer - Martini Mobili, Plays on Design collection. Made of natural wood, the material of the countertops is granite. Customers' request is an interior solution in light, warm colors. In the decorative elements of the premises of the whole house, a plant motif can be traced - a peculiar feature of this project. In particular, in the kitchen this theme is supported by carving on furniture, decor of facades and drawing on textiles. Bar stools (Trone Grande) also continue this idea, and the upholstery has been specially selected to brighten up the calm tones of the room, add color and contrast. The kitchen island has the functions of a bar counter, where the owners can sit with friends in a small company, and places where they can have a bite to eat, if there is no desire to set a large table. www.pinik.com.ua Anna Vasilyeva, interior designer: - The customers of this project are people over 50, lovers of classical style. Kitchen with an area of 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 that are often used in our region. To make the classics easier, I brought in a little irony, which the customers willingly supported and accepted with pleasure. www.anndesign.ru 
Anna Vasilieva, interior designer:- It was decided to place a sink by the window in order to admire the garden of stunning beauty. And according to the project assignment, 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 set - to make a four-room apartment from a three-room apartment, a wish in style - a classic. The apartment is poorly lit on the north side, daylight sources are glazed balconies, which the customers categorically refused to attach. Therefore, the idea was born to put the kitchen in white from the Italian factory Cesar Cucine, my favorite Elite model. She set the character and style of the entire apartment. www.facebook.com/oceanvio 
Elena Pyasetskaya, designer:- An unusual story is connected with this kitchen - an architect was the customer! From the first moments of the only meeting in the manner of speaking, in precise formulations, in sketches, he surprised with his approach to design and was very interested in this project. He was close to my work and we harmoniously embodied the idea of an ideal kitchen. Light classic, light 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 in terms of colors, materials, everything was accepted quickly. The kitchen was coordinated literally from the first sketch. The project has been implemented and we are satisfied with the result. www.elena-art.ru 
Classic style is timeless. It is harmony, practicality and durability. This style underscores the good taste of the owners, their status. And it is an excellent solution for the kitchen, as it conveys family values and creates a pleasant atmosphere of home comfort.
