Designers recommend no more than ¼ set aside for the work area if you plan to connect it to the living room. You can choose any layout with such an area, but taking into account the width of the rectangle. Ideal solution:

• angular, or L-shaped:

• P-type layout;

• highlight each area with lighting;
• think over the comfortable location of the functional corner: sink, stove, refrigerator.

The large area of ​​the kitchen allows you to use not only any style direction, but also combine them if desired. If you are not too confident in your abilities for harmonious combinations, it is better to opt for one style.

For the overall impression of the interior to be truly luxurious, it is necessary to choose the right color scheme.

• White. This is a versatile color that fits perfectly with different styles.

The snow-white palette is well suited for the style of Provence, shabby chic, country, minimalism.

• Yellow. This is not only a fresh and spectacular shade, there is a lot of positiveness, optimism and sun in it. It is best to use yellow colors when choosing decor, textiles, and individual elements. Juicy yellow looks beautiful in a duet with green, white, brown, blue.

• Green. This is a very rich gamut - from mint pastels to rich emeralds.It looks good in monochrome, since almost all tones of greenery are perfectly combined with each other. But its combination with brown, white, yellow, peach, gray looks more interesting.

• Gray... This color is considered conservative, but it is rather very laconic and aristocratic. You can combine it with white, yellow, pistachio, lavender, red.

• Red. In the kitchen, both a bright red and a status wine palette can be used. In any case, if you strive for extravagance and uniqueness, love bold decisions - this range is great.

It is very important to choose not just beautiful, but high-quality materials for finishing a large kitchen.

• Floor. This coating should tolerate contact with moisture well, be easy to clean and not be too easily soiled. You can safely consider tiles, linoleum, laminate, cork.
• Walls. They should also be trimmed with frequent cleaning. If the wallpaper is washable, wood, plastic panels, tiles, plaster, paint are also perfect.

You can safely decorate the ceiling with plasterboard, or simply align and paint. In a large kitchen, the ceiling can be decorated with stucco or beamed, depending on the style chosen.

The final touch in the organization of any design composition is curtains and decor. In a large kitchen, you don't have to worry about whether the curtains will hide the space. Overloading a large space with small elements will also be difficult. It is very important to select all interior items according to the general style chosen.

Another important condition for competent design is the choice of lighting. A spacious room must be properly lit. Designers recommend following certain rules:

• the severity of style is perfectly diluted with pendant lamps in the dining area;
• since the room is large in area, it requires a large number of lighting devices, in order to save money, you should implement zonal lighting, which is switched on separately;
• in the working area, do not be afraid of bright light; in the relaxation and dining area, you can use soft-diffused lighting.
