Before and After: What You Can Do With a 'Killed' Kitchen

Some of these kitchens were created from scratch, while others only underwent cosmetic renovations and added designer decor. Take a look at what was achieved.

In this 'Stalin-era' kitchen, the first step was to combine it with the living room. American Benjamin Moore paint was used for finishing, and a spacious corner cabinet with storage units for everything necessary was installed.

Kitchen in an Airbnb apartment

In this apartment, only a cosmetic renovation and interesting decor were chosen. As a result, the kitchen started resembling classic English interiors with complex saturated tones, and next to a pearl-white display case, an IKEA stainless steel cabinet appeared.

Kitchen Transformed Without a Designer

Here, too, the kitchen was combined with the living room. The radiator was removed to create a wide window sill countertop and a sink was placed by the window. The English classicism with Provence elements became the basis of the interior, making it comfortable and cozy inside.

Kitchen in a typical Khrushchev-era Apartment

This kitchen was made as open as possible, with the sink placed by the window. A fold-out dining table was chosen, anticipating several scenarios for meals: breakfast on weekdays, guests, or New Year's. As a result, an unusual Italian Moove lamp appeared above it, with a shade that can move along with the table on a special bracket.

Designers decided not to change the layout. The kitchen was decorated in a neoclassical style with light tones. To visually increase the area, mirrors were actively used in ceiling and wall finishes.
