In the article we will consider fashion trends in the creation of kitchen sets: a combination of colors and design.

Fans of furniture with finishing this season should think about it, because (however, as in all modern fashion) the trend is simplicity, conciseness, but always with a slight stylish detail, which will be the accent of the interior.

Those who want to expand the space of a small kitchen should pay attention to the trend of "dissolving" in space. The bottom line is that tone-on-tone kitchen furniture is installed against the background of neutral walls, and in this way it seems to dissolve in space, forming a single whole with the walls and ceiling. It turns out flat picture, which creates the effect of the absence of furniture. Moreover, all work surfaces should also be hidden in lockers. This method can be used to “clean up” the kitchen if it is combined with the living room.

If, on the contrary, you want to create volume in the kitchen: you just need to combine two primary colors. For example, you can order furniture from different colors facades, or you can combine two kitchens by purchasing separate items of different shades.

Such techniques are modern and are used by designers who create with the help of furniture not only the desired volume, but also a special style.

Furniture color: modern solutions

Kitchens are divided into small-sized and large ones (from 15 sq. m. and more). But in both cases, color is the first thing you need to pay attention to when creating an interior and choosing furniture.

On the large kitchens appropriate bright colours and they can be combined with dark ones. Plum Wine kitchens are in vogue. It looks very attractive on the facades of both glossy and matte. This is a very modern and simply “delicious” color.

Those who have a small kitchen should choose the no less fashionable Nirvana color, this “dusty” shade, which has been in fashion for more than a season, is a combination of gray and plum color.

By the way, all shades of gray are again held in high esteem by interior designers. Those who are afraid of gray in their kitchen are invited to mix colors. For example, gray is great with pink and white. Such combinations will be relevant for rooms different sizes. For example, in big kitchen you can separate the dining area and the work area with shades.

But in practice in high-rise buildings usually very small kitchens. That is why the right choice furniture space needs to be “pushed apart”. This season, furniture designers offer to take a closer look at the color Rose Clay (pink clay). The color is warm, pleasing to the eye, it is just perfect for small rooms.

It is also worth paying attention to the combination of Cocoon (tea and milk). Manufacturers mix it in different options. For example, the facade is “milk”, and the base is “tea”, and vice versa. You can pick up "delicious" accessories for such furniture - and the kitchen will look very modern.

And another shade that is popular in the interior of kitchens this year is mint. If you like green colors, then you will definitely like it. You can also choose the shade Meadow (pistachio). This color can also visually expand the space, and most importantly, it is pleasing to the eye.

Let's summarize. Trendy colors kitchen sets in 2015-2016:

1. Plum.

3. Pink clay.
4. Shades of green, namely mint and pistachio.

Creative directions in the placement of furniture in the kitchen

Furniture in the kitchen must also be properly placed. Of course, without forgetting about functionality. How to properly arrange the furniture so that the space is modern, comfortable and stylish?

There is no need to be afraid of strict lines in furniture, which can be set off by “brutal” walls. This will add zest to the kitchen and highlight the right space, for example, a dining area. Create a concrete or brick wall, or, conversely, in the tradition of eco-design, finish it with moss or pebbles. This mix is ​​very modern, and designers are happy to use it. This combination looks especially beautiful if all other surfaces are smooth. Then, against the background of the “picturesque” wall, all the furniture will sparkle with new colors.

Bright details in the design of the kitchen set

The element of brightness in the design of kitchen sets gives the interior charm and individuality. It can be a sideboard, on the shelves of which dishes will look spectacular. It can be an open hanging rack, as if floating in the air, it can be shaded with lighting. Decorative plates will look bright on such a rack.

And one more detail that is used in all modern kitchen sets is the window sill. This includes a sink located near the window, and, of course, drawers that are combined with a window sill. But the most interesting option- this is a dining area, in which the window sill also participates, playing the role of a bench. Modern, stylish and beautiful. Such a solution in the kitchen set increases the space involved, it is comfort and the ability to create unusual design kitchens.

Contemporary internal filling cabinets (capacious drawers, sliding and rotary systems), allows you to abandon the upper tier of the kitchen. There are even kitchen cabinets when the whole kitchen is placed in one cabinet, and if you close the walls, it simply dissolves into space. Such a kitchen only seems bulky in appearance, in fact it saves a lot of space.

Buying a kitchen modern set its functionality must also be taken into account. Because minimalism, so popular in modern world, must live in harmony with convenience in your kitchen.

Traditionally, kitchen sets come in several forms. These are sets that are located along one wall and corner varieties. Corner kitchen sets are divided into L-shaped (when furniture occupies space along two walls located at an angle of 90 ° to each other), U-shaped (furniture is located along three adjacent walls). There is a type of "island", in this case L-shaped or U-shaped furniture complemented by a cooking zone or sink in the center.

Facade

Therefore, when you need to choose a kitchen set, you need to take into account that the same, in fact, furniture can be equipped with different front panels.

Wooden facade, as in the photo, corresponds classic style kitchen sets. Sometimes it is produced in the Art Nouveau style. In any case, natural wood guarantees coziness and a calm atmosphere. Such facades are divided into solid and paneled. The main difference is in the price. The whole version is expensive. When using a panel, the outer part is made of natural wood, and the filling is from chipboard. This technology makes furniture cheaper and does not allow individual elements to deform over time. It should be noted that such material does not look in small kitchens. Therefore, it is better to find a kitchen set in Khrushchev with a different facade.

Very often used MDF for facades. This material has many advantages: high resistance, possibility of cladding different materials(MDF films, painting). This makes it possible not to limit yourself in choosing the color of the kitchen set. You can choose absolutely any color and its degree of saturation.

Plastic is also glued onto the base of MDF or chipboard. Plastic facades the most durable, but difficult to care for. You have to constantly deal with fingerprints. Matte plastic is generally difficult to clean.

facades from aluminum profile imply inserts in special designs. The photo of kitchen sets shows that such frames can include MDF, plastic, glass, rattan, and even mirrors. Their main advantage is durability and aesthetics. Unfortunately they are very expensive.

Most a budget option- front made of laminated chipboard. They are inexpensive, but they look quite simple, and they are difficult to care for.

table top

When choosing a countertop, one must be guided by two characteristics: beauty, strength. You can install a tabletop made of chipboard. They vary in quality. If you choose an option that meets all European requirements, it will last for many years and will delight you with its hygiene and ease of care. You can make a worktop made of chipboard for a kitchen set with your own hands. Therefore, if the old one is subjected to strong mechanical impact, you can always replace it with a new one yourself.

Countertops from of stainless steel very strong, reliable, their edges are usually bent up a little, this prevents moisture from entering the cabinets. But they are made only in two versions: brushed steel and plain.

Stone countertops can be natural or artificial. Artificial imitates the appearance of natural, while completely harmless. Samples of kitchen sets with countertops made of artificial stone differ in external completeness, solid appearance.
