Design of a small kitchen in a private house

A kitchen in a private house with a stove and a kitchen in an apartment are different premises. And from the point of view of some features of the layout, and stylistically, they can differ both in furnishings and in the filling of furniture. Everything will depend on how the function is assigned to the premises. If this is just a work area where food is prepared, and the dining room is in a different place, the requirements will be the same. If you need to place everything in a small area, the requirements are adjusted.

Today, almost any renovation begins not with counting the money, effort and time possessed by the owners, but with determining the style of the room. How it should turn out, what kind of mood it will have, what image should take shape - these are the first and key questions. And already on what style is chosen, the following actions depend. The second point is the peculiarities of the kitchen. If there is a stove in a small area, something needs to be solved with it. Determine whether it will be used in everyday life or will remain only for decorative purposes. Again, the stove also influences the style of the kitchen.

Most often, in a private house, they strive for country style. But country is just a designation of a direction, which has many varieties. In a spacious wooden house, the area of ​​which leaves such an opportunity, you can maintain the aesthetics of a chalet. It is very trendy today and such interiors are really stylish. But if the kitchen is small, it is better to turn to Provence, the style of the Russian dacha or the Slavic rustic style.

The design can also be in a Scandinavian style rich in possibilities. It is also heterogeneous and has different variations.

A private house and an apartment will be different, a small kitchen and a large one do not repeat each other. Of the other styles that are possible in a private house with a small kitchen, it is worth highlighting the English style, classic American, shabby chic, ethno, minimalism. But if you are not averse to trying yourself as a designer, you can use a light stylistic mix. True, this requires an artistic taste.

This option is most voted for - it is suitable for a walk-through kitchen, for a room combined with a living room, and for a laconic small kitchen on the border with a corridor or dining room.

What is good about the Scandi style is its democracy, freedom of design, and the feeling of an open space. And you can feel it even in a small interior. It can also be called basic. When you can't decide on the style and mood, choose Scandinavian. This is a compromise style that everyone in the household usually likes, and which is very difficult to get tired of.

The style features are as follows.

• Interior decoration. Contrast is possible, but very harmonious. The walls and ceiling can be decorated with white, but the floor can be made deliberately dark (woody). But if the kitchen is very tiny, minimize the use of dark shades in the interior.

• Ceiling. It is important here to arrange the space so that nothing overloads it. If stucco molding, excessive relief and an abundance of decor appear in the room, the kitchenette will become even smaller than it was. Therefore, a white panel ceiling or simply painted is the best option.

• Floor. Ideally, this should be a solid board, but its imitation is also possible. If you decide that nothing can be better than tiles, feel free to lay it. But do not use very colorful, intrusive drawings. Indoor dynamics can be created with textiles and decor that can be easily changed. But the colorful tiles can just get bored.

• Walls. Monochromatic light tones are preferred, and of course white. The option of a wall in brickwork is possible, but if, for example, your kitchen apron looks like a similar way, it is better to make other walls smooth.

• Headset. It does not have to be complicated, with abundant decor and marble, gilding, relief, etc. More often it is a light, gray, blue or olive modular complex with high quality wooden countertops. For a private house, wooden fittings are suitable.

• Open shelves. It is in a private house that they look most appropriate. Remember that even if only functional items are on the shelves (such as cans for loose products, seasonings, etc.), they still serve as decor. Therefore, do not overdo it in the additional decorative design of the space.

• Textile. It is difficult to imagine the design of a small kitchen in a private house without textiles. If the chairs are at the dining table without upholstery, you can sew light seasonal covers onto them. So the kitchen will be renewed every season, changing its mood and color accents. The curtains can be limited to translucent tulle, or you can find curtains that will be combined either with the decoration of chairs, or with a tablecloth on the table, or even with a carpet. A small cozy rug will not interfere with even a small kitchen.

Previously, it seemed that if you put non-white chairs to a white dining table, this is a terrible interior sin. But in a scandi interior, there can be wooden chairs in sand and beige tones at the table, or even blue and yellow models... A slight deviation from the rules, bold decisions do not look impudent and inappropriate, but an indicator that the interior is lively, dynamic, with its own character.

In this selection, we present 10 very cute, cozy and beautiful kitchens located in private houses. Some of them are made in the preferred Scandinavian style, but there are other options that are also very interesting.

• It's so simple and restrained, somewhere the kitchen is even austerely decorated. But she did not lose her comfort from this.Here you can feel the order, the importance of each item, the absence of unnecessary things and the space that is very valuable in small rooms.

• Some of this furnishings are things that were simply restored and given a second life. This is a fairly budgetary repair option. In this case, the dining room is located separately, and if you have the opportunity, you can also take it into the living room.

• If white interiors seem sterile and cold to you, arrange the most optimistic room in the house from a small kitchen, using very bright wallpaper, a lot of wood and greenery.

• Light green + white + wood = a great combination. This is how it will look in the evening hours, and a small kitchen "no pretensions" will become the most comfortable place in the house.

• A colorful floor and chairs, flower walls - everything that is usually not recommended for small rooms. Yes, visually, such a design could "eat" the space, but it is not an end in itself here. In such a kitchen, you want to drink tea with jam and pie as long as possible.

• And in this interior there are no difficulties, there is simple basic furniture, a cozy table, non-marking floor. If you don't have a door in your kitchen, this example can be a good guide.

• Lovers of modern style will appreciate this striking option. In this case, the dining area is designed like a cafe, and this is very convenient. Especially if you prefer to arrange gatherings in the kitchen.

• A variation based on the classics. Very cute floral wallpaper is complemented by an original chandelier and a simple but elegant set.

• A very interesting idea for decorating a dining area. See how cool the backlit issue behind the cabinet display is. If you have a darkened kitchen with a small window, such a cabinet will be a lifesaver. The lamp above the table also looks perfect.

• And here is a bold kitchen, not without brightness, in aesthetics close to the shabby chic style. Sideboard, open shelves, bright accents and non-standard geometry. It looks somewhat puppet, but they fall in love with such kitchens immediately and for a long time.
