Features of the design of the kitchen design in the style of "classic"
There are two main directions in classic design, the choice of one of them should be decided in advance:
- Rich and pretentious (rich, ornate, with many curly details, pilasters, carvings);
- Calm and noble (restrained but expressive, simple and graceful forms, clear proportions).
The choice should be clearly adhered to in order to end up with a harmonious interior design.
- Materials for the kitchen should be of high quality, furniture should be chosen expensive, aristocratic accessories will be a great addition. Classics cannot be combined with cheapness.
- The technique is not put on display, it spoils the style and impression of the interior. Better to hide it behind the facade.
- Good lighting is one of the keys to a classic kitchen. Not only a beautiful chandelier will be appropriate, but also additional lighting.
- The kitchen-dining room should be not only beautiful, but also functional. The furnishings should not clutter up the space, but leave free space for movement.
- The classic style kitchen is distinguished by the obligatory presence of a comfortable dining area. The kitchen is combined with the living room, if the area of the room is small. This solution avoids the cramped and congested workspace.
- Design assumes warmth and naturalness, not harsh cold colors or unnaturalness. It is worth choosing pleasant, soft and noble shades, avoiding bright metallic sheen.
- The kitchen space should serve as a backdrop for furnishings and decorative pieces. Parquet or stone is suitable for finishing the floor, the ceiling of light shades can be decorated with borders or stucco, the walls are preferably plain in neutral light colors. For a bright accent, you can use an "apron" on the work wall, laying it out with beautiful ceramic tiles.
