The kitchen is, first and foremost, a workroom, intended exclusively for cooking and storing food. In many European countries, it is a closed space where guests do not look, and the dining room is used for family meals.
But in the post-Soviet space, the kitchen additionally serves not only as a dining room, but often as a living room.
It is common to have guests in the kitchen. Therefore, the owners want this room to not only be comfortable and functional, but also look stylish and expensive. To achieve this, it is worth paying attention to the advice of experts.
Tip one: get rid of outdated handles on facades
Modern kitchen fronts are designed in such a way that the doors can be conveniently opened without handles. If you still gravitate towards this element, then choose the fittings separately.
When creating custom furniture, you need to discuss this point with the manufacturer in advance. If you bought a ready-made kitchen with primitive handles, they can be replaced with a more aesthetic option. The easiest way to buy fittings is in an online store.
Tip two: replace a rectangular table with a round one
It is better to place a large rectangular dining table in the dining room, and if this is not possible, then do without it altogether.
A round table looks much more elegant in the kitchen. It can seat 4 people at a time, which is quite enough for most families. But this interior element saves space, makes the room more spacious and stylish.
For very small kitchens, you can consider the option of a window sill table.
Tip three: use built-in appliances
This solution is more complicated and expensive not only visually but also in reality. But the costs will pay off, as built-in appliances are convenient, practical and allow the kitchen to always look expensive.
Tip 4: Thin Tabletop
Thick countertops with overhangs above the facades are becoming less and less relevant every year. They are being replaced by thin options that do not have an overhang. This looks stylish, elegant and is associated with expensive kitchen interiors in photographs of design projects.
But no matter how modern, expensive and convenient the kitchen is, everything will be ruined by disorder. Especially eye-catching are bright sponges for dishes, multi-colored potholders, dishwashing liquids, etc.
You should think about ways to store them so that it is convenient and does not spoil the look. Some people use special mounts for sponges and dispensers for detergents, while others hide them behind decor. Here, everyone chooses the solution that they like the most.
