Features of the design of the kitchen in the style of "classic"
There are two main directions in classical design, one of which should be decided in advance:
- Rich and artsy (rich, ornate, with many curly details, pilasters, carvings);
- Calm and noble (restrained, but expressive, simple and elegant forms, clear proportions).
You should clearly adhere to your choice in order to get a harmonious interior design.
- Materials for the kitchen should be of high quality, furniture should be chosen expensive, aristocratic accessories will be a wonderful addition. Classics can not be combined with cheapness.
- The equipment is not put on display, it spoils the style and impression of the interior. It’s better to hide it behind the facade.
- Good lighting is one of the key points for a classic style kitchen. Not only a beautiful chandelier will be appropriate, but also additional illumination.
- The kitchen-dining room should be not only beautiful, but also functional. The situation should not clutter up the space, but leave free space for movement.
- The kitchen in the "classic" style is distinguished by the obligatory presence of a comfortable dining area. The kitchen is combined with the living room, in case the area of the room is small. This solution avoids crowding and congestion in the workspace.
- Design involves warmth and naturalness, rather than harsh cold colors or unnaturalness. It is worth choosing pleasant, soft and noble shades, avoiding a bright metallic sheen.
- The kitchen room should serve as a backdrop for the decor and the decorative part. For finishing the floor, parquet or stone is suitable, the ceiling in light shades can be decorated with borders or stucco moldings, the walls are preferably plain monochromatic neutral light colors. For a bright accent, you can use the “apron” on the working wall, laying it with beautiful ceramic tiles.
