What Chinese methods need to be adopted for the kitchen, we will tell in this article. Designer Eva Shebarskaya, as part of the TV project "Made with taste" on TNT, faced the task of remodeling an old, inconvenient kitchen that had not been renovated for 13 years. The owners are a young, bright, active family with an 11-year-old daughter. However, the kitchen interior is stuck in the distant 2000s. The problems of the kitchen are obvious: insufficient number of sockets, old bright yellow furniture, faded wallpaper, no curtains on large windows, too small and inconvenient work surface, insufficient space to place household appliances. Having met the heroes, Eva Shebarskaya firmly decided to create an eclectic interior with elements of Chinese methods in the 13-meter kitchen.Eva Shebarskaya, interior designer Graduate of the Academic School of Design and the Details School. She is interested in eco-design, decor and studies old architecture.
Layout
The first thing the designer did was change the layout andmoved the island with the hob to the center of the kitchen. Firstly, it created the right working triangle, secondly, it allowed the hostess to cook in front of the window, rather than staring at the wall. And finally, she organized the stove and sink on different surfaces. By the way, the kitchen island, designed according to the designer's sketches, mirrors the shape of the kitchen bay window. As a continuation of the island, Eva installed a table and a cozy garden bench next to it. It is convenient for the whole family to relax here.
Style and color
The interior style is eclectic.Here the designer combines stucco on the ceiling with art lamps on cords, classic balusters, modern furniture, and original designer finishing materials. The color scheme is very interesting: a calm main shade of the walls combined with green flowers symbolizing youth, life, and beauty.
Furniture and decor
The designer selected the kitchen set so thatcombine the masculine and feminine elements in the kitchen interior. Thus, glossy white facades are combined with dark textured wooden inserts. The mirror in the kitchen is specially provided. In its reflection, the image from the TV screen will be visible when a person sits with his back to it. The main decorative elements of the kitchen are a wooden wall panel and a kitchen apron, painted in dark green. The main decorative interior of the kitchen iswooden squares on the wall, hand-decorated with round mirrors. This brings an Asian theme to the interior. The kitchen apron, supporting this idea, is made of a rubber floor mat and covered with tempered glass. These round-shaped details, according to the designer, symbolize endless energy. Textiles add warmth and coziness to the kitchen in subdued tones. On the bench there is a bright mattress and knitted pillows, and on the windows there is a mint-colored Chinese curtain. The designer decorated the door to the kitchen with a special fresco for painting, on which you can draw and then easily wash with a regular damp sponge. So the kitchen interior will never get boring for its owners! As a result, this space, which united the preferences of each member of the young family, became a harmonious space for relaxation, cooking and cheerful feasts!
