The kitchen is one of the most conservative rooms in the home. Even when homeowners decide on a unique design for living spaces, the kitchen often remains untouched — somehow, people are afraid to experiment here. We offer you inspiration from our collection to correct this misconception.

1. Break Away from Color Stereotypes

Who said the kitchen must be in wood tones or seasonal hues? If you want to create a true designer interior, experiment with colors — the more unusual they are for a kitchen, the better. Pistachio green, lemon yellow, peach, or crimson — these shades easily blend with others. For each, you’ll find complementary colors in a similar palette and suitable wood tones.

2. Add Metal Shine

Metal surfaces aren’t limited to loft style. Chrome refrigerators, glossy matte hoods, or copper sinks fit perfectly into almost any interior. The only nuance: color temperature. Pair cold metallic finishes with warm-toned kitchen decor.

3. Choose an Unusual Sink

It seems simple to buy a sink, but today’s options are overwhelming. Copper, concrete, square, oval, with quirky mixers — pick something truly unique. After all, every homeowner interacts with the sink frequently.

4. Don’t Fear Plastic

Plastic furniture isn’t just suitable for any room, including the kitchen — it’s also highly functional. Modern plastic furniture uses advanced materials that are extremely durable, unlikely to wear out before the rest of the kitchen unit, and eco-friendly, easily recyclable. As for design, choose from transparent dining chairs or bold colorful bar stools to match your taste.

5. Display Beautiful Tableware

For years, we hesitated to show off beautiful dishes due to the outdated Soviet habit of hiding crystal in a cabinet. It’s time to let go of that tradition: sometimes, tableware looks like real art and deserves to be on display more than just a few times a year during holidays. Arrange your set in glass-front cabinets or on open shelves, and remember to wipe them occasionally so dust doesn’t spoil the collection’s look.

6. Lay Down a Rug

Rugs are rare on modern kitchens, and that’s an advantage: this accessory can instantly refresh the space. Choose one that’s washable, as kitchens are aggressive environments and textiles get dirty quickly.

7. Buy a Beautiful Chandelier

Sometimes, you can transform a kitchen’s look in minutes by choosing a striking chandelier. A small kitchen needs just one central light source, but larger spaces benefit from multiple distinct lighting fixtures.
