The apartment owners wanted to move away from the standard perception of a kitchen and create a space associated with relaxation, not household chores.

The main feature is the decision to make kitchen cabinets the same color as the walls. This allowed avoiding visual overload and gave the interior a sense of unity. To make the kitchen look less utilitarian, a two-burner cooktop was installed instead of the usual stove, and an exhaust hood was not used.

All appliances — refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, and cooktop — are placed along one wall, making cooking convenient and comfortable.

A unified wall and cabinet color was complemented with a warm milk-colored ceiling, oak floor in a gray tone, and wooden details that add comfort to the interior. This approach allowed creating a stylish and functional space perfectly suited for temporary living.
