Kitchen renovation is considered to be perhaps the most labor-intensive and energy-consuming. For this very reason, no one would even think of updating the "food block" in an apartment every year.
Therefore, if you want to be the owner of a stylish and functional kitchen, listen to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino, who told us which trends are no longer in fashion.
Built-in microwave
It is recommended to find a place for the microwave on the countertop for one reason only: in the case of built-in appliances, it becomes impossible to subsequently change the configuration and arrangement of furniture and appliances.
Dishes on hooks above the kitchen island
Owners of a kitchen island often placed hooks above the table for dishes, which looked really creative. But minimalism is currently in fashion, which means that it is better to hide all the dishes in kitchen cabinets.
Ceramic sink
The presence of a ceramic sink in the kitchen sends us back to a country house in our thoughts. If you want to remain in a modern kitchen both in body and in thoughts, get a sink made of stainless steel. Another advantage of such a sink is that it can be easily dismantled and replaced with a new one, if such a need arises.
Artificial materials
It's time to forget about plasterboard finishing as a bad dream. Do not use complex materials in design, replace them with simple ones - if you want to update the kitchen, use regular paint or a clean wallpaper design. Remember: minimalism is in everything.
Windows without curtains
But don't go to extremes: window decoration should be minimalistic, not absent altogether. Opt for simple curtains in monochrome shades or blinds.
