The latest decisions of designers and manufacturers meet any requests, it remains to be inspired by the photo and choose the solution they like. The area does not limit the possibilities of the interior, when the priorities are set correctly.

Hidden reserves

Before choosing a suitable style for decoration, you need to evaluate your kitchen in terms of practicality and optimization. Designers advise to make the interior primarily comfortable, and perhaps in the process it will turn out due to non-standard solutions, also original.

For example, the window sill should be used to the maximum, especially with a good view from the window:

• shell transfer;
• bar counter;
• worktop;
• linear layout of the dining area.

The location of the headset and its size - one of the main factors affecting the further distribution of space. Consider the possibility of transferring the doorway, replacing the door with a sliding modification.

For a small kitchen, the criteria for materials, accessories, furniture will be:

• practicality;
• durability;
• ergonomics;
• buildability;
• environmental friendliness.

Style and color

Many modern styles allow you to enjoy the beauty of functional design, conciseness, clarity of form. This is a modern luxury, industrial chic without unnecessary excesses that impede cleaning and concealing precious space. Minimalism, high-tech, any modern mood will help the TV not to stand out from a single space.

If you want a more relaxed, cozy and at the same time elegant - neoclassicism:

• moderate basic palette;
• several accent tones;
• reduced amount of decor.

The easiest way to add a "conditional" space is to use light tones for most surfaces:

• white;
• shades of light gray;
• cream, beige.

Almost half of the decisions are based on a combination of achromatic colors, fashionable black and white. White is the main color, and black works to increase the space, if it is used is metered in industrial styles. You can add energy to monochrome interiors with the help of bright accents or difference of textures.

For a more relaxed, vintage and retro styles use a union of white with hints of soft coffee gamut, more matte surfaces. The combination of textures and colors exhibit a plane:

• the tree of light tones is appropriate always and everywhere;
• mosaic - for a small kitchen instead of a standard tile.

The color palette can charge with energy. A few facades, for example, bright yellow, turquoise on a light gray background. It is well combined with metal parts of a sink, a mixer.

Surfaces - effective finish

Monochrome painting - the easiest, budget method, at the same time practical and eco-friendly. Combining with alternative materials will add style: a combination with the wallpaper of a similar color scheme in the eating area. Additional vertical pattern, the strip will save at a low ceiling. By the way, it is better to make it as simple as possible, white, but matte or glossy is a matter of taste.

Tile under the brick style loft does not go out of fashion. New collections make it particularly proud of this area of ​​the kitchen. The bright color of summer green grass is not only the latest trend, but also a real opportunity to set a positive mood. And then there is a pale blue, sunny yellow. Such non-standard solutions always look fresh. The combination of vertical rows of white bricks, two shades of turquoise of different saturation and light gray is unusual and not exactly gloomy. Such a little urban motifs will help create the design of a youth kitchen of 8 square meters. m

Uneven walls will require alignment. Structural wallpaper for painting help to save the necessary centimeters.

Accent wall, this popular design move, has the right to exist in the kitchen of 8 sq.m. When the table is set in the corner - this part can make a contrasting accent, especially if the dining room furniture is monochrome.

The floor surface should also work to increase the space:

• monophonic bulk;
• laying tiles diagonally;
• narrow kitchen - laying across the floorboard, laminate.

Set - enhancing expressiveness

The last presented novelties demonstrate the desire to simplify the life of the owners and at the same time not to overload the interior, to make it elegant and a little "unquipped". This is true when there is a desire to equip a recreation area in a fairly small kitchen, perhaps with a sofa.

Deep column cabinets allow you to:

• get rid of objects that usually visually litter the room;
• at the same time free up the tabletop, which is in short supply;
• erase the clear boundary between the residential and culinary part.

The cupboard can be wide - 1-1.2 m. The folding door allows you to open without problems, and it can hold from the coffee machine to the oven and there is still a lot of space hiding kitchen attributes, small household appliances. By getting rid of excess inventory, let the headset appear in a winning manner.

Facades matter:

• Reduced width and half the depth for the upper tier or one wing, when the kitchen is L-shaped.
• The combination of smooth and embossed facades will not allow the latter to look monotonous. The combination of matte and glossy varnish coating will work to increase the space.
• No visible pens.

Consider the possibility to make the facades as high as possible to the level of the ceiling: less to clean up, at the same time using the useful area. To hide the air duct and the gas water heater will not be superfluous, because even neatly decorated, they stand out from the concept of a "fashionable" interior, which is striking even in some photos. But the “floating” models on open legs, supposedly adding weightlessness, only add to the hassle of cleaning the floor, stealing up to 10 cm of basement space.

Furniture and equipment - achieving the impossible

Modern industry has brought plastic furniture to a new level. Molded plastic:

• the best colors for bright accents;
• combination with spectacular legs from other materials that emphasize the style;
• transparent models to facilitate the interior of a small kitchen of 8 square meters. m

Folding models of tabletops or with folding wings - a reasonable solution to save space.

For small kitchen equipment, parameters are needed:

• high performance;
• compact size;
• a certain style and color.

Small appliances with prints of bright colors, cheerful ornaments will allow the kitchen to look attractive even with light, calm colors of surface finish. Wall-mounted hood, tabletop dishwasher - save space.

If the kitchen is not designed for active use in a large family, then the modest size of the built-in appliances will be quite justified.

Equipment	Standard	Compact
Cooking surface (gas and electro) width, cm	4 komforochnaya, 55-60	2 komforochnaya, 26-28
Dishwasher, width, cm	60	35-40
Refrigerator, height, cm	180-200	80 with a width of 48
Microwave, G * W, cm	45*50	36*45
Hood, V * D, cm	30*50	30*28

Multipotential devices: an oven with a microwave function or a mini-station for bachelors, which allows you to make toast, coffee and scrambled eggs at the same time.

Light - pushing the boundaries

Lighting plays a big role in the design of small rooms, such as the kitchen of 8 square meters. m. Look more, more attractive will:

• built-in point spot system;
• LED headset lighting;
• similar for the apron area, working surface;
• wall sconces in the dining area;
• light bar counter.

Narrow and elongated kitchen on both sides

It is better to avoid a central chandelier with a low ceiling, because even with good, intense lighting, it cannot cope alone, giving shade, changing the look of the headset for the worse. Ceiling lamp models are better positioned to illuminate the culinary zone or vice versa, residential, arranged in pairs or several small linearly.

Part of the kitchen without top cabinets on 8 squares

The included light makes the cabinets light, airy. If mounted modules have frosted glass inserts - an additional plus. Almost all samples of kitchen sets, interior solutions of the season emphasize the sufficient inclusion of LED lighting, even for more classic, framed facades. The combined inclusion of LED elements is colored, allowing you to change the appearance of the kitchen, transforming it.

Decor - crucial

A small kitchen should not be overloaded with decorative elements. The decor should bear at least the minimum meaning. Standard methods are easy to convert to trend:

• Towels. They allow you to create a mood with bright prints, inscriptions, becoming full-fledged art objects.
• Color mixer - with enamel inserts or in the color of stone washing;
• Containers for spices - with transparent lids, magnetic inserts can hang on the refrigerator, saving space and pleasing the eye.
  Beautiful cookbooks - just behind the glass.

• The dosed soft gloss of brass, copper, bronze parts of lamps, spot on unusual bars, other accessories will make the kitchen shine even when it is overcast outside the window.
• The bright color of the rear walls of the upper glass or open modules - even ordinary, inexpensive white dishes will look advantageous.
• Spicy herbs in neat pots are cute and healthy.

Kitchen with windows to the floor in front of the balcony

Everything together will allow you to choose the perfect solution, completely individual in functionality, allowing you to get the most from a small area of ​​7-8 m2.
