How to decorate the room where we work, cook,we communicate, have lunch, dinner, drink tea and just enjoy life. Our article provides an overview of current trends in kitchen design. Modern kitchen design relies on advanced technologies, and its main motto is convenience and functionality. Beauty does not suffer: following fashion trends, you will certainly find wonderful furniture for every taste. We present a selection of ideas that reflect the current desires, hopes and ideas about beauty of designers and homeowners: practicality, style, ease of care and discreet elegance. Larisa Baraeva, interior designer: - Among the noticeable trends in kitchen design, I will name the desire to maximize usable space, especially distinguished by German manufacturers, who have a place for every little thing. Customers now prefer factory "filling" - both household appliances, and dividers, and trays in drawers and cabinets. As for the furniture itself, two trends are in fashion at the same time. The first is tall cabinets up to the ceiling, the second is storage in the lower tier and complete freeing up of the upper part of the room. Hoods are also becoming less noticeable. Neutral colors are in favor, designers prefer a cold range of shades and a combination of literally two or three materials, no more, to contrasting solutions. White kitchens are still popular, but they are being caught up by grayish-olive and brown ones. The kitchen island is becoming an almost obligatory element of the kitchen arrangement even in a small area, but the handles, on the contrary, stand out less and less. If we talk about popular materials, it is worth mentioning quartz. Density, durability and shine make it an excellent option for finishing easy-to-care for and beautiful countertops. 1. Neutral colors dictate new trends. Bright, a fashion statement in themselves. But restrained ones are the perfect background for a more thoughtful, complex design that pays attention to detail. This reflects the personality of the owner much better and will not cause boredom even after a few years. The combination of black and white, grey, beige and sand are colour solutions that are timeless and fashionable, so this trend is clearly not for one season.

Maximizing usable space Furniture manufacturers and designers do not let a single square centimeter go to waste, especially famous for this. Why invent and look for opportunities if everything has already been designed and implemented? Even on 10 sq. m. you can implement a functional and comfortable kitchen. Convenient drawers - horizontal and vertical, with dividers and a special place for literally every cutlery. Rotating stands for jars, ergonomic solutions for dishes and spices, sponges and detergents. A fashionable kitchen is a kitchen where everything is in its place.

There is no room for unnecessary elements here, so facades with handles that blend in with the surface as much as possible or even “recessed” into it are becoming increasingly popular, as, for example, in the Kyton kitchen by the German factory Varenna. Another advanced solution is cabinets that open with a push. Conveniently, this can be done if your hands are busy, even with your elbow or foot.

But the secret of the ever-growing popularity of this kitchen detail is that an island or bar counter allows you to use even a small space more functionally. They can completely replace the dining area, provide an additional surface for cooking and work great in multifunctional kitchens that act as a home hearth around which the whole family and guests gather.

Wood in finishing Natural textures in kitchen finishing are at the peak of fashion: one of the main design trends now is environmental friendliness. Popular are both stylish concrete and reliable granite, but especially the eternal classic, textured wood with a unique pattern. It goes well with a variety of materials, from glass to metal. And any colors "suit" it - neutral or bright.

Floating furniture Cabinets literally floating in the air are not an exclusive element of elite custom kitchens, now they are part of standard collections. Reliable fastening to the walls and ceiling - and a stunning effect of lightness in the interior. Additional storage space will always be an important issue in kitchen design, so this solution is not only beautiful, but also functional.

It is safe to say that things that the owners never remembered again, because they were out of sight, went there. Now useful space is not wasted: tall, elongated cabinets along the entire wall are in fashion. This solution, by the way, visually adds height to the kitchen. And you can store, for example, holiday dishes on the top drawer.

This makes it easier to focus on the spectacular design of the walls. And there is a lot of space, even in a small room. And you can store everything you need on open shelves, in vertical column cabinets, built-in pantries and in thoughtfully organized drawers.

Among the unusual materials, each of which has its fans, we can highlight the classics - wood and marble. There are unexpected options: concrete, steel, glass. But the current trend of next year may well be quartz, which looks like granite, hard, shiny and easy to care for. It does not leave scratches, the absence of micropores does not allow bacteria to multiply - this is a modern convenient and environmentally friendly solution.

Glass and metal parts will add air and light to the space, comfortable handles and the absence of sharp corners will make working in the kitchen simple and efficient. Calm lines and restrained colors will help create a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. But we will see less and less gilding, curls and massive fittings.

My Planet kitchen from Varenna factory, salon“Kitchen interiors” Inna Raskina, interior designer: - In my opinion, the trends in furniture design for a modern kitchen can safely include environmental friendliness, creativity and elegance, which have changed its appearance in principle. Simplicity and conciseness have prevailed over excessive splendor and decor. A modern kitchen is an ergonomic functional area where there is nothing superfluous, everything is verified and thought out to the smallest detail. The elegance and respectability of its appearance is achieved by using natural, non-toxic materials. All kinds of tones of natural wood, combined with light, airy tones of white - "snow", "cream soda", "milk", as well as with noble deep palettes of gray - "anthracite", "slate", "granite". In the new 2015-2016 season, manufacturers offer a combination of wood with dark shades of the yellow-orange spectrum - "chili pepper", "red brick" - and with rich tones of indigo. When planning a kitchen, not just hanging cabinets are increasingly used, but special modules that can be combined with each other. Depending on the specific tasks, the height of the hanging cabinets can be raised to the ceiling or, conversely, reduced to half the standard size. Often they are abandoned altogether, creating a lighter and more open space. The so-called "islands" are very relevant. They become one of the functional decorations of the room, simultaneously performing zoning between the kitchen-dining room and the living room. facebook.com/inna.raskina.3
