Unusual kitchens: design options and beautiful examples

There are many options for kitchen design. However, typical solutions, which are offered in a variety of popular sources, have already been implemented in tens of thousands of apartments, at least. The use of non-standard approaches helps the owners to stand out.

It is appropriate to start a conversation about unusual kitchens with the fact that they are made not only for reasons of originality. The fact is that typical layouts and layouts may not fit into the structure of the room itself. Not to mention the fact that this is the only way to often get closer to the embodiment of their plans. With a skillful approach, it will turn out to embody the most non-standard solutions. From the very beginning, you should clearly choose an expressive and multifunctional or simple and laconic-looking room.

If the owners really like small details and souvenirs, you can add amendments to the interior of any style at your discretion. But from the very beginning, it is required to thoroughly think over the entire composition and agree on the smallest details. Drawing up a concept implies taking into account:

• personal wishes and tastes;
• the latest fashion trends;
• allocated budget.

Original kitchen design options can be created by playing around the entrance opening. Instead of ordinary door leaves, arches are mainly used. If the kitchen has only one window, it is impractical to curtain it. In an unusual setting, priority should be given not to artificial, but to natural lighting.

In a large kitchen, you can safely embody a variety of aesthetic solutions. But if the area is small, you will have to choose the composition much more carefully. Another thing is that even with a low ceiling, you can equip the space perfectly. For maximum space saving and at the same time for the greatest functionality of the room, it is worth using built-in furniture. The technique may have the same performance.

Mounting ovens and microwaves on the walls helps to free up space in a small-sized home. An interesting idea can be a fundamental rejection of refrigerators. This step will help you use the space more efficiently.

In a small kitchen, glass furniture becomes an appropriate choice. A table or chairs made of transparent material look not only non-standard, but also look more compact than other solutions. An alternative step is to use the minimum number of furniture items that are as spacious as possible. But to overload the room using a lot of modest-sized cabinets, shelves and chests of drawers is impractical.

A non-standard step may be to abandon the usual black and white and light compositions. Decorating the space in the kitchen is done, for example, in pink. And when pink or other bright furniture is unjustifiably radical or expressive, you can paint at least one of the walls in this tone. Creative cuisine can also be created by invoking old-fashioned influences. In this case, they rely on ideas typical for country and vintage styles.

Authentic textiles and fun decor add flavor. But you can act differently - using tiles of an unusual geometric shape to revive the situation. By the way, it is also worth "playing with" the colors. A very fresh and non-standard solution is often the painting of different tiers of the kitchen in 2 pure colors.

To create an atypical interior, it is not at all necessary to carry out major repairs or change finishing materials. It is much easier to use skillfully selected decorative objects and accents. Painted ceramics, bright-looking metal dishes will add chic and charm to even the most modest interior.

The original step would be to use individually selected lamps. It is not at all necessary to give preference to the point versions, on the contrary - they have already lost their original charm and do not look original at all. A much better choice is the use of suspended luminaires. It makes sense to take a closer look at the wallpaper. This finishing material, or rather its ability to transform space, is often underestimated.

Meanwhile, it is enough to paste over only one wall with canvases to make the room look bright and unusual. Designers advise choosing vinyl or non-woven wallpaper. They match the specifics of the kitchen area much better than paper ones. Another possible way is to design the kitchen space in the spirit of a large cafe, for which they are used:

• floors with checkerboard tiles;
• shiny dishes shimmering in the rays of the sun or lamps;
• chairs or armchairs in catchy colors;
• curtains made of loose fabric.

Another possible step is to vary the shape of the furniture. This opportunity is often underestimated, focusing on "playing" with the size of objects. Even the slightest deviation from the canon (for example, the use of open curved shelves) will help diversify the interior.The use of artifacts from distant countries is sometimes no less a good choice. Exotic souvenirs also solve the problem.

You can show your originality by decorating the kitchen in African style. For this purpose:

• choose the preferred range of colors (focusing on the colors typical for savannah, desert or jungle);
• strictly natural materials are used;
• achieve expressive roughness of the interior.

It can take a very long time to expound general principles and suggestions for an atypical kitchen design. But it will be much more interesting to see which design projects will deserve attention. So, a combination of very dark and light yellow tones just seems like a bad idea. This photo clearly refutes this opinion. Light gray wooden details have also been appropriately used in the interior.

The curved table top on metal legs also looks nice and unusual. The orange countertop adds beauty. Design elements, a sink, and a working cutting area are located on one surface. A light tiled floor and a large tile wall only add charm to the space. Both in the island zone itself and near the far wall, local illumination was correctly used.

The combination of plain light wood furniture and a very dark floor can create an equally attractive look. The sliding table top is very practical. The working area is decorated with a light apron. Several spotlights were used in it. Antlers are used as accessories.

And here the combination of a light bottom and a dark top is played up in a unique way. Even a relatively smooth transition of colors into each other has been implemented. The graceful light brown wood, from which the facade of the upper tier cabinets and the bar counter is made, is in perfect harmony with the white self-leveling floor. A very dark wall with a wild stone texture is complemented by other natural accessories (including dry branches). The composition is completed by very high chairs with a shortened back.

A bright and expressive solution is the use of a large landscape painting... The light façade unites stylistically with the same-looking floor. The brown countertop is duplicated in fact by a subframe of the same color. Ornamental plants look very nice. Light-colored walls look impressive.

And in this interior, blue paint is used as a dominant. It has been used for both island cabinets and wall-mounted furniture façades. A white countertop and a moderately dark stove do not look unnatural in such an interior. The dappled brown floor and light-beam ceiling add charm. Additionally, several open shelves and a mosaic apron were used.

In this interior, only the refrigerator and the countertop will be white. The light wood surface of the facades looks very nice. The brick texture of the apron adds a pleasant touch. All work surfaces are very smooth, which is achieved thanks to the use of an induction hob. Along with closed cabinets, several shelves are used. The middle part of the upper corner tier is painted in the original tone.

Even furniture sets of "curved" shape can now be made to order. Light green curved elements and white countertops, shelves will look impressive and demanding. Symmetrical arrangement of decorative items on the shelves adds visual comfort. Against this background, the dark gray floor at first even seems to be lost from sight. The island zone reproduces the overall composition in miniature.

A high-tech interior can be decorated with only one balance of black and white colors. This combination is used both on the walls and on the ceiling (including in the area of ​​the lamps).The main working area is located by the window and is additionally equipped with an upper illumination. Metal chairs are fully consistent with the high-tech aesthetics. You can safely take any of the described options as a basis, mix their components.
