Kitchen design is important, both for the hostess and for the rest of the inhabitants of the house. After all, this is a place where friends and the whole family gather, where the wife boasts culinary delights. With an appropriate budget, owners try to order an elite kitchen design. But it is not necessary to resort to outside help in this case. You can also please yourself, knowing the laws of the formation of such a design.
The type of design already indicates that in the end we will get an interior that is expensive both in appearance and in cost. The “elite” category implies that in decoration and decoration as a whole only expensive and natural materials are used; in furnishings - high-quality and elegant upholstery; equipped with the latest technology. But this does not imply, it is necessary to blindly follow the latest fashion trends. If you like the classic, you can make the interior of an elite kitchen in a classic or antique style.
The next feature: restraint and a sense of style. No bright flashy details, eclecticism and color matching inconsistencies. Proper planning is equally important. Elite kitchens are distinguished by a large quadrature.
We suggest considering the most important details in a similar design.
The most significant details | Implementation options |
Style | Provence, classic, high-tech, modern |
Color spectrum | White, beige, black, navy, brown |
Furnishings | Cost-effective, high-quality products |
Equipment | The latest technology to simplify the cooking process |
Materials | Stone, granite, natural wood |
Now let us consider in more detail the features of arranging various zones and details of the room.
Choose a style
Content
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the style direction. It is the basis for the rest of the design. It depends on what furniture to choose, how to fill the kitchen, and what colors to combine. We have selected the most modern and suitable styles.
Classical
This direction never loses its popularity. Already its basis - antique styles - speak of a chic appearance. Classics are an example of elegance and style. It can be used in various forms, achieving the desired effect.
On a note! The classic style is most often used to design luxury kitchens.
A feature of the classics is a harmonious combination of heavy furniture and some details (curtains, decorative elements) with light colors. The most common tones for this style are beige, ivory, milky and all shades of brown. A vivid example is Italian cuisine.
Provence
Not far from the classical canons of Provence. It also accepts only natural materials and light colors. Here we meet yellow-blue (sea and sand), olive and beige (olive garden and dead grass), etc. As the main materials we see wood, stone, granite and marble (it is unacceptable even to use a parquet board or artificial stone).
This style is perfect for high-end cuisine, as it adheres to the basic canons of this design. But he is not so restrained and direct as a classic.
Hi-tech and minimalism
We pass to the present. The most suitable for high-end cuisine are high-tech and minimalism. They are very similar to each other, but have certain differences.
Criterion | Minimalism | High tech |
general characteristics | Softer and laconic, simple forms, practical and light | More restrained, furniture with sharp corners prevails, cold light, an abundance of glass and metal parts |
Color spectrum | Laconic combinations with a smooth transition, white dominates the design, often the combination consists of two colors | Restrained and cold, contrasting combinations; light neutral background with bright accents is often used |
Furniture | It looks like high-tech furniture, but it has a less futuristic focus. | Multifunctional furniture “with the latest technology”, retractable storage systems, lighting shelves and cabinets are common |
Decoration Materials | The predominance of textured materials (plaster, stone, wood panels), ceilings are mainly painted or suspended | Accepts smooth and glossy surfaces (glass, metal, tile), ceiling - suspended, with built-in backlight |
Lighting | The light is calm and soft, there are lamps of an interesting shape | Widely used are built-in halogen lamps, lamps on a rotary basis; artificial light is central, it is bright and illuminates all necessary areas |
So, both of the proposed styles are great for creating an interior luxury kitchen. In general, minimalism is softer and more concise, and high-tech is designed for people who are strict and restrained.
The color scheme of luxury kitchens
Now we turn to the second most important factor - color. Of course, his choice largely depends on the chosen style, since each direction dictates its own rules. But for this type of design, there are the most common and acceptable colors.
Beige - Perfect
In elite kitchens, beige is widely used. It is a good basis for various combinations, being an excellent background. It is ideal for creating a classic style and provence, being the main colors of these areas.
On a note! In the interior, beige is the basis of the classics.
Finds its implementation in the kitchen, finishing floors, ceilings, walls and furniture. Therefore, it is suitable for any surface, and can be implemented using any material.
White - the scourge of modernity
In modern styles such as minimalism, modern, hi-tech and loft, there is a predominance of white and shades close to it. Perfect for high-end cuisine black and white combination. Although it is classic, but only in clothing - do not confuse.
Want to make a softer design, combine white with beige, dairy, eucalyptus. All of them are suitable for this type of design.
Dark tones
We already mentioned brown - let's talk about dark tones. After all, an elite kitchen can be not only bright. Such rooms have a large quadrature, so they allow the use of dark colors.
The most suitable are dark brown, blue, black and burgundy. When combined correctly, they constitute a reflection of elegance and sophistication. So, burgundy and blue will make a perfect pair of black and beige.
When working with dark colors, do not forget about the right lighting and adding bright or bright highlights. After all, otherwise you risk turning the kitchen into a gloomy and uncomfortable warehouse. The same applies to white and light colors - combine, otherwise get a laboratory.
Materials for elite cuisine
In this situation, appropriate - elite - materials are required. These include natural, high-quality and expensive species. So, only natural wood, stone, granite, marble, metal are used. Glass is also common, which is an exception.
Wood is suitable for creating kitchen units and flooring. Marble or granite is best used for flooring and the manufacture of countertops.
By the way! Countertops made of natural stone and granite in addition to a beautiful view have high strength indicators.
For walls, stone and marble are used (especially for a kitchen apron). Paint is extremely rare, but it is suitable for wall cladding along with plaster.
Remember that the design of an elite kitchen is made of high-quality materials, therefore it has a high cost and requires especially careful care.
