10 Kitchens for Capricious Individualists

According to statistics, we spend the most time on the kitchen. No wonder designers pay special attention to this area — a kitchen should match our taste, be convenient and functional, and also create an atmosphere of maximum comfort. In this post, we've gathered ten kitchens that their owners are rightly proud of.

Sunny Kitchen-Dining Room

This kitchen has everything the clients dreamed of and even a bit more.

The kitchen area is only five square meters, but it includes everything the clients requested: a tall refrigerator and a separate freezer, two ovens, and a large work surface.

A bar counter separates the cooking zone from the living room. The backsplash was made from a single sheet with a beautiful natural stone pattern — this helped avoid fragmentation and unite the space.

"Copper adds touches of rich yellow to the calm pearl color of the kitchen," — the project author explains.

Brutal Colors and No Decoration

Freshness and modernity in the interior are provided by using chrome-plated metal structures.

The owner of this apartment wanted a calm and relaxing atmosphere in muted tones without decoration. For the kitchen cabinet fronts, they chose wood in gray and brown shades, while for the backsplash and countertop, they selected black marble that the client loves.

This combination of textures — the stone pattern with veins and the clean lines of wood — helped visually zone the space. Additionally, a bar counter with vertical columns separates the kitchen and living room.

Harmony for Designers

Design is about comfort, so the approach to trends in interior design should always be very individual. In the kitchen of his own apartment, architect Pavel Zheleznov made a bet on white finishing and light base furniture. All items are carefully selected and look very harmonious.

Thanks to the glossy fronts of Nolte and the absence of handles, it was possible to create a kitchen cabinet that blends into the wall and creates an illusion of a space filled with air.

A wooden antique bench — a fresh and unusual solution. And very cozy — your hand naturally reaches for a cup of coffee. The kitchen features items and furniture from different styles and eras. The main thing is that the kitchen interior appeals to the owner.

Vibrant Eclecticism

After talking with the clients, we understood that their mood and positive associations fit best into the Provence style. The clients wanted a vibrant interior reflecting their lifestyle and hobbies. The couple was ready to experiment and trusted the designers.

During the interior design process, the style turned out to be eclectic, including the kitchen: vibrant art objects mixed with elements of the Provence style and classic bone-white cabinet fronts.

Kitchen from Natural Materials

The project concept is developed based on principles of mindful eco-friendliness.

The kitchen cabinet was made from natural wood, the backsplash from marble, and the countertop and bar counter from stone. According to the client's requirements, all materials are certified according to eco-standards.

Due to the celestial white-blue combination of cabinet fronts, the kitchen-dining room interior turned out light and neutral.

"The project concept is developed based on principles of mindful eco-friendliness," says the designer. "It's not about eco-style but rather a deeper approach to life".

The designer applied the golden ratio principle, which helps calculate an intuitively harmonious and proportioned interior that pleased all household members. According to Olesya Fedorenko, blue softens the textures of stone and metal and adds warmth. Comfort and nothing extra

Plenty of light and maximum functionality — the main wishes of the client, which were fully implemented.

The owner of this apartment is a fan of Scandinavian style, so there were no doubts about the kitchen design. Oxana made her bet on an abundance of natural wood, and when choosing kitchen furniture, she followed the principle: "convenient and functional". No dramatic forms here: white glossy fronts and no hardware or decoration.

The designer anticipated several lighting scenarios: there is the main light from built-in spotlights and working light provided by stylish chandeliers above the dining area.

Monochrome Comfort

Special attention was paid to the design of the furniture. The shape of the carved supports of the bar counter repeats elements of the dining table — this emphasizes stylistic unity.

A strict palette of walls and cabinet fronts, natural stone in the finish, original lighting fixtures that immediately draw attention — this minimalist kitchen-dining room will not seem soulless or boring.

To make the interior match the desires of a young single man, the designer preserved maximum space and lightness.

A relaxation zone with a spacious corner sofa comfortably adjoins the bar counter — a better idea for parties with friends cannot be imagined. The kitchen is separated from the living room only by a sliding glass partition, and if desired, the kitchen can be isolated. "Masculine" Kitchen for Mom with Daughter

It's pleasant when the client knows exactly what they want, and these wishes align with the designer's preferences.

To create a comfortable space for the client, Maria Puzanova focused on functionality. It's hard to believe that this restrained and somewhat brutal interior is intended for a mom with a little daughter. But the client likes these interiors: "masculine" in style and content.

"For the kitchen cabinets, we used Nolte fronts in concrete combined with white gloss," Maria explains. The kitchen turned out spacious. According to the client's wishes, it was equipped with pull-out drawers, and one of the cabinets hides an ironing system.

Art Deco in Complex Tones

The homeowner wanted an interior in a calm color palette: I suggested stopping on the shades of taupe — soft gray-brown.

Nadezhda Kapper based the design on complex gray-brown shades in the finish, warm gray gloss of kitchen fronts, and softened them with textured decor and bright details.

The main accent in the kitchen area was made as an art-deco panel, which decorated a load-bearing column — it is visible from the entrance door. Following that, she added sparkling lighting fixtures, a backsplash made of glass tiles, a crystal chandelier, and paintings — the interior was filled with life. Kitchen in Porsche Style

Just say "Porsche," and everyone understands that it is elegance, speed, and flawless quality.

The designers conceived an ambitious project: to create an interior for a client who is a big fan of German cars, reflecting her ideology.

"Like the creators of Porsche, we did everything to make our client feel aesthetics and comfort," — says one of the studio founders, designer Sergey Bakharev.

The kitchen cabinet harmoniously combines natural textures and urban materials: gloss and solid wood cabinet fronts, concrete on the kitchen backsplash, stone countertop, and steel.
