How to create a focal point in the interior of the kitchen: 9 ways

What do you see first of all when you enterkitchen? Doesn't your gaze linger on anything? Or maybe there are too many bright details? Either way, your kitchen lacks the right focal point. We will tell you how to create it in this article. The focal point, like the center of the composition, is in any interior. At least it should be. This is that piece of furniture, accessory or decoration element that focuses the attention of the beholder on itself, and all other parts of the interior act as a support. Of course, without being a professional designer, it is not easy to correctly plan the composition of a room, but it is possible. We have already written about how to create a living room in the interior, today we are talking about how to arrange it in the kitchen. 1. Apron Of course, first of all, an apron protects the wall of your kitchen from dirt and drops of grease, but what prevents it from being a bright accent in the interior? And “bright” doesn't just mean color: experiment with the texture, pattern, or shape of the tile as well. If you have chosen a rich palette for the apron, make sure that it partially repeats in other interior elements: for example, in textiles, dishes or decor. 2.Countertop Imagine a chic marble or solid wood countertop. Isn't it, it will definitely attract attention? Use a countertop, island, or bar countertop to turn them into a bold kitchen accent. 3.Lighting Well-organized lighting is an essential part of any kitchen. But don't limit yourself to built-in lamps and a boring lamp: pick up an interesting chandelier or bright lamps - ones that will not only give light, but also attract attention. 4.Cabinets An excellent focal point for a bright kitchen is colored cabinets. You don't have to buy a new headset: start with one or two lockers, painted in your favorite color. And remember: the brighter the furniture, the more neutral the background should be. five.Walls And not just walls, but with an unusual texture. Tiles, mosaics - these are your assistants in creating additional relief in the kitchen. Such walls do not have to be bright at all, since the texture in this case works no worse than color. Therefore, this method is definitely worth taking note of for lovers of neutral colors and interesting design solutions. interior by Ekaterina Fedorchenko 6.Appliances Tired of chrome-plated refrigerators and gray stoves? The good news: color technology is back in fashion, and manufacturers only confirm this trend, releasing collections in a variety of colors. If a bright purple slab or indigo range hood is too daring for you, try starting with a pastel palette. Not too bright, but definitely attracts attention - at least by the unusual color scheme. 7.Chairs We have 15 reasons to fall in love with red dining chairs and can find at least the same for any other color. And this is really the easiest, fastest and most budgetary way to make your kitchen twice as bright and interesting. And if you get tired of the color, it will take no more than five minutes to replace some chairs with others. eight.Painting Today, few people underestimate the power of art, but in the kitchen, paintings are either just rare, or they are a modest landscape or a small abstract canvas. Forget about restraint and hang something large-scale, bright and striking in the kitchen: contemporary art, and avant-garde, and a classic oil portrait (maybe even yours) will do. nine.Children's creativity If there are children in the house, they probably draw, and children's creativity must be appreciated at its true worth. Arrange a mini-gallery of children's work in the kitchen by hanging them on strings and crossbars or attaching them to a cork board. And if you gradually add photographs and beautifully designed recipes to children's drawings, you get a real kitchen mood board.
