Options for unusual styles

Today stylists create all kinds of kitchen designs using creative ideas based on simplicity, sustainability and naturalness. But since the kitchen is a special place, the soul of the house, functionality, practicality and comfort are still an important aspect of any stylistic direction.

The generally accepted styles are familiar and understandable, but only moving away from stereotypes can you give the interior an original twist

Industrial glamorous loft

Loft is a fairly popular trend in the design of luxury premises. His dogma is a skillful combination into a single ensemble of the old, deliberately exposed - pipes, ventilation ducts, beams, brick or concrete wall - and modern (mirrors, the latest technology, upholstered furniture).

A vibrant industrial loft blends different styles in an exceptionally seamless look

Style features

Loft is a peculiar, but recognizable style, which is based on the adaptation of industrial objects for housing, due to which it is characterized by:

• lack of partitions;
• large windows;
• high ceilings;
• a strict color palette with an emphasis on white, black, gray, brick and green colors;
• rough interior decoration;
• zoning space with contrasting cladding;

• as well as industrial communications painted in silver color as decoration.

  

  An important feature of the loft is that everyone can decorate the kitchen to their liking, choosing from a variety of finishes

The unique design of the loft kitchen creates a special atmosphere with true personality.

Unusual design of the ceiling will allow you to get away from the dullness and routine in the interior

Loft kitchens are a fashionable design trend that combines elements of different styles, which were considered mutually exclusive not so long ago

Rustic and industrial styles can be harmoniously combined in one interior

An exclusive vintage composition with unusual details fits well into the kitchen interior

Two-compartment refrigerator, cooker hood and oven in steel-colored cases perfectly complement the industrial interior

The rounded edges of modern loft kitchen furniture pay tribute to comfort and safety

Metal plays a key role in the aesthetics of the loft - the original metal hood is always the focus

A characteristic feature of the interior decoration of the loft is the combination of old solid wood furniture with the same ceiling beams, and sometimes a plank floor

The ocher brown color of the furniture looks spectacular against the background of brick walls, which are deliberately freed from plaster in the loft

Functional hi-tech

The concept of high-tech is translated as "high technology", which together with comfort and space constitutes the code of this style, which requires unquestioning obedience when creating an interior.

The hi-tech kitchen is set by the latest technology, constructivism and functionality. The characteristic features of this design include:

1. Minimalism is literally in everything - right angles, simple geometric shapes and strict observance of proportions.
2. Visual openness. Zoning is achieved with lighting, multilevel ceilings, glass screens and doors.
3. Neutral colors interspersed with bright accents. The basic hi-tech tones are white, gray, metallic and sandy.
4. Transformation of communication systems into elements of aesthetics.
5. The use of artificial materials - plastic, steel, glass, polycarbonate and others.
6. Availability of intelligent technology.

7. Almost complete lack of decor.

   

   The advantages of a high-tech kitchen are the rational and ergonomic use of space, simplicity and ease of maintenance, as well as the ability to change the mood of the interior without large investments

High-tech style is a reflection of modern life, where practicality, environmental friendliness and efficient use of space are considered an indisputable advantage

The combination of glass and metal can be complemented by a few bright colors or wood-like finishes to soften the interior

Hi-tech is developing rapidly, but with certain adjustments - the high-tech style is becoming softer and warmer

A distinctive feature of the high-tech style is the feeling of spaciousness and "emptiness" of the room, which is emphasized by white furniture and the same finish.

High-tech, creative, vibrant cuisine for a fresh and joyful atmosphere

The optimal shade of high-tech kitchen furniture is considered to be white, due to which the room visually appears larger, lighter and more airy.

Metal, glass and plastic are three materials that are the basis for high-tech interior

If the traditional cool hi-tech design seems too harsh, then you can use more home options with a soft and warm interior.

If you choose the color of the furniture exactly to the tone of the walls, then such an interior will look easy even in small areas.

Exotic Japanese style

The Japanese interior is the standard of simplicity, where all attention is paid to the harmony of body and spirit. In such rooms it is convenient to work, relax, contemplate nature through panoramic windows and meditate.

Traditional Japanese-style cuisine successfully combines minimalism, restrained colors and a simple, uncomplicated interior

Japanese style philosophy

The inhabitants of the island, feeling the lack of space, know how to appreciate every centimeter. Therefore, a Japanese-style kitchen is usually small, but as functional as possible, differing in:

1. Minimalism and practicality - the Japanese firmly believe that the presence of unnecessary things negatively affects the energy of the house.
2. Free planning, where the role of partitions is assigned to movable screens.
3. Using natural materials - bamboo, maple, silk, cedar, rice paper.
4. Natural color palette - soft light coffee shades, pearl, caramel, olive, milky and blue tones. For color accents, red, green and black are used.

5. Mobility - in Japanese interiors, a quick transformation of a room is relevant, depending on the purpose of its use.

   

   Due to the fact that the Japanese style is very laconic, it is perfect for an ordinary kitchen, regardless of the amount of natural light in it and the location in the house.

Furniture without handles and other fittings looks very stylish and saves much more space than you might imagine

Modern Japanese people sacredly honor traditions, but they are not going to live in the last century, which is why Japanese interiors are very creative today

The design for the kitchen apron can be done in the style of Japanese engraving

Despite the fact that the furniture is made of wood, it does not look too bulky and is very close to eco-style.

The main feature of the Japanese interior is the presence of frames, wooden or metal - it does not matter, if only they were

In modern Japanese cuisine, you can also see the bar counter as a decorative element that fits very harmoniously into the overall concept.

You can combine the kitchen with the living room using wooden partitions and sliding doors.

Japanese motifs must be present in the interior, which is typical for it, like a sakura branch in a vase

In a Japanese interior, it is impossible to do without bamboo, which is present in its natural form, in cup holders and napkins on the dining table.

Arrangement of unusual kitchen interiors

Unusual styles are characterized by innovative systems and sophisticated pragmatism.

Loft kitchen decoration

Free zoning is the basis for creating loft interiors. Internal walls separate only the bathroom and toilet. The rest of the premises should create the illusion of an open, clearly visible space.

An interesting feature of the loft is zoning - the apartment is divided into zones using furniture and color schemes

A loft-style kitchen is a compact island, for the arrangement of which the following techniques are used:

1. One part of the walls is cleaned down to old brickwork, the other is covered with rough plaster, painted in lead-gray tones, or pasted over with graffiti wallpaper to dilute the cold color palette. Interesting options are pasting a small area with a black film suitable for writing with chalk and decorating an apron in the form of a concrete wall under impact-resistant glass.

   

   For a small loft kitchen, it is advisable to decorate the walls in one color scheme, and in large rooms you can create an interior with several color shades, complementing it with characteristic details

2. The ceilings in the loft kitchen are leveled, then they are whitened or stretched with a light PVC film. However, they are often left without finishing, complementing the concrete floor slabs with pipes, metal lathing and beams on which track lights are mounted.

   

   Loft brutality in the design of the kitchen ceiling in the form of untreated floor slabs is supported by copper pipes, in which the electrical wiring is partially removed

3. Floor is also a zoning tool. Usually, tiles are laid in the working area, and in the dining area, parquet boards, wood-like laminate or linoleum with the effect of a concrete floor are used.

   

   Modern designers recommend the use of materials such as deck boards, imitation cement or stone floors, and porcelain stoneware for flooring in a loft.

4. Loft kitchen furniture is predominantly made of wood, glass and metal, with small upper and spacious lower cabinets. A bar counter, a kitchen island, a table with a wooden or glass top is a good solution for a kitchen interior.

   

   Loft-style furniture is not spoiled by light abrasions, and the proximity of rough iron and natural wood with a bright pronounced natural texture is even welcome

5. The loft is close to minimalism. Therefore, customizable kitchen sets are ideal for him, consisting of ceiling cabinets, a central worktop and a section built into the wall.

   

   The kitchen set should be as simple and functional as possible - smooth surfaces, correct geometric shapes and design rigor

6. In the loft kitchen, retro technology is welcomed and the presence of any new products with an abundance of metal parts, which, of course, will not be cheap. A budget option is to hide the inappropriate technique behind panels and disguise the refrigerator with self-adhesive slate paper.

   

   The ideal solution for a loft would be to equip the kitchen with appliances in the same style with "interspersed with the past"

7. Kitchen windows, as a rule, are not curtained, achieving maximum flow of daylight, or they use roman blinds and blinds. Several sources are used as artificial lighting - pendant chandeliers, incandescent retro lamps and spotlights.

   

   In the loft style, simple types of lighting are used - open windows, translucent inserts, pendant bulbs in black sockets, steel chandeliers in the form of table lamps, spotlights, spotlights and lamps on tripods - a fairly wide choice to provide the necessary brightness in the kitchen at any time of the day

8. Decorate the loft kitchen to a minimum, using linen, burlap, matting. 2-3 bright color spots from different eras are enough - pin-up paintings, posters, posters of the 50-60s, graffiti.

   

   The loft style does not require special decorations, but to make the kitchen more comfortable, you can hang wall clocks, paintings by contemporary artists, make inscriptions on the slate surface, arrange small indoor plants and stylish dishes

Since the loft is very common, real examples of the design of bars, hotels, pizzerias will help to implement such an interior in the kitchen.

High-tech kitchen decoration

High-tech interiors make life much more convenient and for this reason are in great demand. There are certain design rules for arranging a high-tech kitchen:

1. Calculated and economical division of space with easily removable partitions and sliding doors or doors that go into the wall.

   

   In the high-tech style, the room is divided into zones using visual effects - they use different materials, separate lighting fixtures, bar counters and glass partitions

2. Plain smooth walls are an indispensable attribute of style. They can be painted, covered with metallic wallpaper or sheathed with panels. High-tech is loyal to concrete and brick, therefore minimally processed concrete or brick walls are allowed.

   

   The main finishing materials for creating a high-tech kitchen are paints, thanks to which you can create an imitation of concrete or metal, however, it is appropriate to use wood and stone in combination with a small number of living plants in order to fill the interior with warmth

3. Ceilings are made smooth and monochrome. They are whitewashed, painted, or suspended ceiling structures are mounted.

   

   When using a glossy stretch ceiling, you should not make the kitchen interior heavier with chrome, metal and glass elements, so as not to get too shiny interior

4. Floors - tiles, self-leveling floor, natural stone or laminate with an equipped "warm floor" system.

   

   The floor, as a rule, is arranged from tiles, poured concrete and materials that imitate stone, but the use of natural parquet and bright tiles is unacceptable

5. Halftones in hi-tech are unacceptable - the main color tone and additional ones should be contrasting.

   

   When creating a high-tech kitchen design, it is advisable to order the entire set of furniture and appliances from one manufacturer in order to achieve the perfect result, since this style does not tolerate inaccuracies, sharp differences and disharmony

6. Kitchen furniture is laconic and multifunctional with different storage systems. There should not be much of it so that there is room for the technique that plays the first violin in the high-tech interior.

   

   Convenience, spaciousness and functionality of a high-tech kitchen is achieved with the help of well-chosen furniture made of durable, high-quality and modern materials, the ergonomics and versatility of which can significantly increase the area of the room

7. Simple in design, resin and metal kitchen sets are complemented by glass inserts, tables with metal legs, shelving, plastic chairs and ultra-stylish countertops with a minimalist hob and sink.

   

   The main favorite in a hi-tech kitchen is a modular kitchen set with many functional cabinets, drawers and frames for built-in appliances, complemented by tables and chairs of intricate shapes

8. High-tech windows are left open or blinds are used. It is possible to use straight curtains made of Teflon-coated fabrics.

9. High-tech loves light, so the kitchen needs to be equipped with lamps as much as possible. Hanging chandeliers, lighting built into furniture, lamps monolithic with walls and ceiling, as well as translucent inserts are welcome.

   

   Hi-tech loves to play with light and zone the space: large lampshades of a fancy shape, LED spots in any quantity and spotlights evenly distributed throughout the ceiling are relevant

10. Spectacular high-tech kitchens are an abundance of new kitchen appliances: smart kettle, split system, refrigerator, etc., which are located where it is easier to find and more convenient to use.

    

    High-tech kitchen appliances - the latest devices, chrome surfaces and modern design in everything from a technological hob to a futuristic coffee maker

11. Black and white photographs, abstract paintings, an aquarium, figurines and a steampunk wall clock will help to muffle the demonstrative technogenicity of high-tech. You can brighten up the interior a little with a small woven rug, bright napkins, pillows and towels.

    

    Accessories, like other high-tech interior elements, are selected according to the rule of minimalism, monochrome color and simplicity

Kitchen decoration in Japanese style

In Japan, like ours, traditionally small housing, so they know the secrets of the visual expansion of space. It remains only to embody their techniques in your kitchen:

1. The walls are decorated with wooden panels, frames covered with rice paper, painted or pasted over with bamboo wallpaper. Often the interior walls are replaced by lightweight bamboo partitions.

   

   For wall decoration, frescoes and skinals are often used - glass panels depicting blooming sakura or hieroglyphs with good wishes and wise sayings

2. The classic version of the ceiling design is a stretch canvas or glass plates with diffused lighting.

   

   You can place stained glass on the ceiling, disguising the lamps - it looks very nice and gives a soft diffused light inherent in Japanese design

3. The flooring is light wood, tiles or bamboo laminate.

   

   The floor in modern Japanese cuisine is most often laid out with tiles, which can either overlap with various metallized surfaces in color and texture, or be made under a tree to create a semblance of a traditional wooden floor.

4. The color scheme of the kitchen interior is balanced and calm with a slight splash of bright elements.

   

   When choosing a color palette for the kitchen, you need to use the natural range of Japan - all shades of brown, light shades of gray, ivory, as well as yellow, black, pink, green, red, blue

5. The furniture is mostly simple and compact, made of natural wood. Although modern kitchen sets can be made from ecological substitutes of any color, if only they fit harmoniously into the style.

   

   Soft lines are allowed only in the design of chairs, and all other furniture must be of the correct geometric shape

6. Japanese cuisine is an abundance of various techniques, which, unlike, for example, high-tech, do not serve as decorative elements, but hide as much as possible behind the facades.

   

   Modern Japanese cuisine is well combined with the latest technology - the main thing is that it is not too conspicuous, and even better, it is built-in

7. In Japanese design, soft multi-level lighting is encouraged, as well as wooden lamps with rice paper shades, lamps and sconces to illuminate specific areas or objects.

   

   The lighting of the kitchen space should be soft and diffused and organized in such a way that each zone has individual light, for which floor, ceiling, wall and table lamps are combined

8. The kitchen space is decorated with vases with sakura twigs, netsuke figurines, bonsai trees, tatami, ikebana, hieroglyphs, etc. The windows are decorated with bamboo blinds or rolled canvases.
