Nadya Zотова

Apartments: 2-room, 45 sq. m
House: brick

At Nadya Zотова's kitchen, classic elements — white "calf" tiles and light marble countertop — are combined with a deep vibrant blue color of the cabinet. The image comes together thanks to décor — colorful and very distinctive.

Anna Muravina

Apartments: 2-room, 52 sq. m
House: monolithic

In Anna Muravina's apartment, color is everywhere — and the kitchen is no exception. The walls are painted in turquoise, and the cabinets were made by Mrs Ruby company using veneer of several valuable wood species combined with paint. By the way, there's another interesting solution here — a mirror kitchen apron that looks unconventional and visually expands the space.

Marina Zhukova

Apartments: 4 rooms, 137 sq. m
House: monolithic-brick

Marina Zhukova's kitchen would have been completely monochrome — if not for the countertop and apron in a blue shade. This solution looks very elegant, and glossy surfaces make the interior even more airy.

Anastasia Kamen-skikh

Apartments: 2-room, 61 sq. m
House: Stalin-era

The interior of Anastasia Kamen-skikh's apartment is built on contrast between white and black — and the kitchen too. But the accent is blue, which was used to paint the lower part of the kitchen, visually supported by a blue patterned "ikat" curtain. Thanks to wooden countertops, wooden chairs and copper accessories, the space doesn't look cold.

Natalia Anakhina

Apartments: 1-room, 28.8 sq. m
House: brick, 1957

Natalia Anakhina's kitchen cabinet is essentially non-existent: instead of it — open shelves and 200-liter barrels as a stove and sink. Yet the kitchen still seems colorful and lively. The secret is in the wall color (painted with Little Greene China Bone shade paint) and bright accessories.

Katya Chistova

Apartments: 2-room, 50 sq. m
House: panel

Katya Chistova also chose blue shades for kitchen fronts. It is complemented by a saturated yellow color of the walls and tiles on the apron, whose pattern reminded the owners of Capri's maiolica — a fresh summer-style interior was created.
