The kitchen triangle – you might also hear it called 'the kitchen working triangle' or, more alluringly, 'the golden triangle' – is one of those kitchen design rules that's been knocking about since researchers at the University of Illinois School of Architecture developed it in the 1940s to cut construction costs. 

Despite being created to save money, it was enthusiastically adopted by kitchen designers who felt it made kitchen layouts more efficient – and we've stuck with it for decades. But is it still relevant, and should you be incorporating into your kitchen remodel?

We asked the experts to demystify the kitchen work triangle – and put your most asked questions to them.

What is the kitchen work triangle?

'The kitchen work triangle is based on the three main work areas: the sink, the refrigerator, and the stove,' says Adrian Bergman, Senior Designer at British Standard by Plain English . 'According to the rule, these should be laid out to loosely form a triangle, enabling you to perform day to day tasks with relative ease and without obstruction.'

According to the kitchen triangle rule, each side of the triangle should measure no less than four feet and no more than nine feet and, ideally, the perimeter of the triangle should be no less than 13 feet and no more than 26 feet. 

In other words, not too small and not too large. This should ensure that your working area is practical, comfortable and large enough – but not so large that much of your time is spent walking between one point and another. And, of course, there should be no interruption in the flow – of if you are plotting a table in the middle of your kitchen triangle, think again.

The kitchen triangle rule helps to address questions, such as, where should a refrigerator be placed?

2. What are the three items in a kitchen triangle?

Put simply, the three items that form the kitchen triangle are the sink, refrigerator and stove.

3. What is the purpose of the kitchen triangle?

Adrian says: 'The purpose of the kitchen triangle is to allow you to move seamlessly and easily between working areas of the kitchen.'

George Miller,  Home Designer at Neptune Fulham says: 'With three key elements at the core of its purpose, the kitchen triangle creates an efficient space and reduces the back and forth walking distance between each essential station of the kitchen; cook, store, clean.'

4.

Is the kitchen triangle outdated?

The overall opinion of kitchen experts is that the kitchen triangle is a good design principle, but that the changing needs of the modern family means you don't need to stick to it steadfastly. Cooking is no longer – or not always – the responsibility of one person in the modern household. And because many families now might have more than one cook operating at a time, the three points of the triangles are now likely to be 'working zones' (the cooking zone, the cleaning zone, the prep zone and the storage zone) within a kitchen – particularly in larger kitchens that have more generous space. 

In contrast, galley kitchens don't always lend themselves to the working kitchen triangle. That said, and whatever the size or shape of your kitchen, it is still worth keeping the efficiency of movement that a kitchen triangle can bring in mind when working up a new design.

Helen Parker, deVOL 's Creative Director, agrees it often forms naturally, saying: 'It is important to pay equal attention to aesthetics and functionality, if you only focus on one of these then your kitchen will not work, therefore such elements as kitchen triangles and zoning will generally just happen rather than being the main consideration.  

'We like to make simple open rooms that are comfortable and calm to live in and not focus on zoning, this is not to say we don't bear these factors in mind but we do not design with this as our main concern, it is not the key to a perfect kitchen.'

You can, of course, incorporate one of the triangle's corners – or an extra prep area to cater to a second cook – in the kitchen island. 

'The idea of the work triangle is not a rule we follow consciously or prescriptively,' says Adrian, of British Standard by Plain English. 'We always design to the client's requirements and the nature of the space, and often the triangle inevitably falls into place naturally. It is not a hard and fast rule as many clients prefer to have their fridges hidden in an adjoining larder or utility.

'Also, many people aspire to have a kitchen island which becomes the main prep area, adding a fourth corner, the kitchen rhomboid!'

6. What are new layouts to consider outside of the kitchen work triangle?

(Image credit: Blakes London)

Many contemporary homes now need to cater for different design layouts that work for the space and the family. Annie Ebenston, Lead Designer at Blakes London , says: 'We pay incredibly close attention to how a kitchen is used and the flow within the space, but each person and each home needs to be thought about holistically as not everyone cooks or uses a space in the same way.

'Factors to consider will be the amount of space that is available and the types of appliances a client uses. Drawer fridges are ever more popular, especially when combined with a walk-in pantry or second utility kitchen where a larger overflow fridge, dishwasher and sink may be located. Smaller prep sinks on islands or even two sinks on both runs are not unusual.

'A second kitchen or a dirty kitchen is an increasingly popular way of laying out a kitchen scheme especially in open-plan homes. All of these popular designs would kibosh the kitchen triangle concept. '

The Kitchen Work Triangle - Efficient Design & Traffic Patterns

Creating an Effective Work Triangle

The work triangle concept has substantial application in the design and layout of a kitchen.

It’s important to remember that the work triangle guidelines are not laws, and not rules. If you look back into the history of how the work triangle developed, you’ll find that it originated in the 1940s, when kitchens were smaller, and designed as a utilitarian work area for housewife to create family meals.

Today, our kitchens are large, and in many families there are more than one cook. Moreover, our kitchens today have a broader range of functions than just cooking. They’re also where we dine, entertain, and work. Therefore, kitchen designers don’t select kitchen layouts exclusively around the work triangle approach but have adopted a work zone approach.

Kitchen Work Zones

Today’s kitchen isn’t just about cooking and cleaning. As the hub of the home, the kitchen is more multi-functional than ever. Hence, kitchen designers have to think more flexibly, and lay out spaces based on the particular activities that will take place there, based on their clients’ needs.

Your kitchen can be broken down into four basic zones. Each zone defines a certain activity in the kitchen:

Pantry Storage

This is where you store your consumable and non-consumable items. Fresh food, frozen food, as well as dry goods, cans, and other non-perishables. You can think of this zone where you place your main pantry, and refrigerator. Keeping these areas close can make it easy to get all of the ingredients you need. Additionally, a lot of storage must be dedicated to non-consumable items like silverware, tableware, utensils, pots and pans, baking trays, and more. You’ll also want to consider where you’ll store odds-and-ends like cookbooks, scissors, and other desk items. Many non-consumables are located in drawers and upper cabinets.

Sink Storage

This area is typically built around the sink, but also includes the dishwasher, garbage, recycling, and household cleaning items, and a broom or mop. Consider installing waste cabinets near the sink to create a convenient space to keep your kitchen clean.

Prep Storage

Food preparation requires easy access to utensils, cutting boards, and mixing bowls, as well as plenty of countertop space. Consider what you need for food preparation when planning storage options like base drawers, roll-out cabinet shelves, and prep sinks. These items will be key in making sure the kitchen runs smoothly and you are able to prepare meals efficiently.

Cooking Storage

In addition to your cooktop, consider your microwave and/or built-in oven. For cooking storage, you need to plan landing spaces for hot dishes, as well as storage space for utensils, pots and pans, bakeware, and so on. Think of how you cook. Is a cookbook out? Measuring cups? Spatula that you just stirred with? Towel for cleaning minor spills? These types of things rapidly eat up counter space.

Other Zones

It’s common for kitchens to have other zones, or for some of the work zones to have multiple uses.

Charging

A charging station for mobile phones, tablets and other devices is becoming increasingly important in kitchen design. Take a look at special outlets with USB ports, and be sure the devices are safely away from water and toddlers.

Dining

Creating a space to eat in your kitchen depends on your family needs. Whether it’s just your family, or you’re entertaining, it seems everyone eventually gathers in the kitchen. Islands and peninsulas provide great kitchen dining spaces and can be multi-purpose. If lack of space is an issue, your island can double as prep, work and entertainment space.

Working

Like it or not, work happens at home and often in the kitchen. The good news is, you no longer need a massive work station. Large desktop computers have given way to wireless laptops and tablets. Provide enough outlets to be able to charge all of your electronic devices.

Entertainment

Many homeowners have a television in their kitchen. Others have a bar area that can accommodate stools, or serve as a stand-or-sit space for cocktails or dinner. Consider including a conversation zone in your kitchen, with lounge chairs and a low table or versatile ottoman.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the triangle rule for kitchens?

The kitchen work triangle benefits the overall design function and is meant to create a tighter, more efficient workspace. It’s made up of 3 legs that should be 4 to 9 feet in length with its entirety at 26 feet or less. Each leg connects to the refrigerator, cooktop, and sink. This is because these 3 areas are considered the most important and heavily used spaces in the kitchen. Kitchen islands or other obstacles should not intersect any of the 3 legs.

Is the kitchen work triangle outdated?

No. The work triangle is still valuable when deciding the layout of a kitchen. A kitchen work triangle makes sure that the space is laid out in the most functional and efficient way possible.  

What has replaced the kitchen triangle?

The kitchen work triangle is still the traditional way to layout a kitchen. A newer and more modern approach is the five-zone kitchen which has become increasingly popular. This type of kitchen is perfect for the homeowner who needs a multi-purpose space that can accommodate more daily activities than just cooking.

What is the most desirable kitchen floor plan?

One of the most popular, versatile kitchen floor plans is the L-shaped layout. It creates an open concept design that includes 2 workspaces on adjoining walls. The L-shaped layout is also great for entertaining because it’s commonly paired with an island and leads into other open living spaces.

What is the purpose of kitchen work triangle?

The kitchen work triangle benefits the overall design function and is meant to create a tighter, more efficient workspace. It’s made up of 3 legs that should be 4 to 9 feet in length with its entirety at 26 feet or less. Each leg connects to the refrigerator, cooktop, and sink. This is because these 3 areas are considered the most important and heavily used spaces in the kitchen. Kitchen islands or other obstacles should not intersect any of the 3 legs.

What type of kitchen has no working triangle?

The one-wall kitchen is a layout that doesn’t include a work triangle. This kitchen design is usually chosen to maximize space in smaller kitchens. Everything is installed on one wall including kitchen cabinets, appliances, and a sink. There’s no work triangle within the one-wall kitchen because it would close off an already tight space.

Triangular kitchen design: kitchens with custom layouts

Triangular kitchen design

When it comes to designing a kitchen space, many questions arise. Someone cannot understand how to place furniture, because the shape of the kitchen is non-standard, it has more than four corners. Someone wants to finish the kitchen unusually. In each case, it is recommended to think carefully about everything.

What is it?

The first reason why there is a desire to perform non-standard repairs is the irregular shape of the room itself. There are enough cases like this. If you have received personal ownership of a living space in which there is only one option for arranging a kitchen - a triangular-shaped room, you can be somewhat taken aback by what you see. Unfortunately, the layout is ridiculous, but you still have to look for a way out. One of the options is to design a non-standard space, causing everyone to be surprised.

There is another option, no less deplorable - the size of your kitchen reaches twenty square meters. Difficulties arise with the arrangement of furniture, because the room has a pair of protruding corners or its shape resembles a trapezoid.

There is another problem that has become widespread - the lack of awareness in the field of redevelopment of the available space, from the kitchen to the rest of the rooms. The main reason for the excitement is a large number of window openings and protruding walls.

Anyone who is trying to solve such issues, we recommend not to panic, but to calmly think over the original design project. It is highly likely that your non-standard kitchen will become a virtue, and you will have a great advantage due to the revealed hidden reserves. Perhaps many will begin to silently envy you.

Unusual kitchen layouts

A person, seeing a concrete example in front of his eyes, accompanied by a detailed description, he realizes how to proceed further. Here are some ways to plan.

When a person sees concrete examples in front of him with a detailed description, he begins to understand how to proceed further. Consider different layout options.

Trapeze-shaped kitchen

If the cooking area has such a shape, nothing can be changed - choose a beautiful and most suitable design.

Kitchen furniture, workplace and sink are installed with the letter "P" along adjacent walls, where the angles are ninety degrees. A dining table and chairs are located at the sloping wall surface. It is recommended to consider a design option that is used in railway cars - one side is supported by a pair of legs, the second (with a folding mechanism) is fixed to the wall.

In the place where the window is located, they arrange a green corner with indoor flowers.

Alternatively, in such a room, the dining area is placed in a window opening - it looks quite unusual.

Triangular

Don't be discouraged by thinking that a triangular kitchen is considered a loser. Naturally, there are certain disadvantages - it is difficult to choose a kitchen set (as a rule, it is ordered according to individual sizes), to place household appliances.

However, problems of this kind are completely solvable - in this situation, we recommend using the law for the kitchen by arranging the sink, stove and refrigerator in the way dictated by the conditions of the triangular layout. Everything else is at your own discretion.

When the room has a very elongated triangular shape, a different technique is used for such a kitchen - two of the three elements (for example, a sink and a stove) are placed on one of the sides.

Polygonal room

If you have a room of this shape at your disposal, and some of its walls are sloping, do not overload it with kitchen furniture and other accessories. Opt for glossy items that change the perception of space. The achieved effect will be enhanced by natural light.

Separate the kitchen area with a light partition, install a set in it. Thus, you will have a space with the correct forms, in which you can place places to relax and eat.

An excessively spacious kitchen with non-standard shapes causes problems associated with its arrangement, which even experienced professionals are sometimes unable to cope with. Users rarely encounter such projects; upon closer examination, some places will seem unreasonably wide, others quite narrow. But such shortcomings can be turned into advantages if an island with rounded shapes is placed in the center of the kitchen, diverting attention from the numerous corner areas. As an option, order the manufacture of a headset in the form of a zigzag.

The created splendor will be successfully complemented by a bar counter, a table and chairs with rounded shapes will also look good.

Do not overload the kitchen with unnecessary details. Remember that many of the complexities in reality are quite simple and straightforward. With a little imagination, you will make the kitchen the best in the whole world.

Design Solutions

Being creative when it comes to decorating a kitchen solves many problems. The size of the room is not always a joy, but you still want to make it as comfortable as possible. In order to increase the non-standard room by several meters, a balcony is attached to it, taking out household appliances and several lockers onto it. This solution is costly, but yields unexpected results.

When it comes to arranging everything you need, focus on furniture. Look for a headset option so that it has cabinets with drawers.

Let's look at several options for design projects that allow you to turn your kitchen into an irresistible room:

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a design and not to regret your decisions in the future, it is recommended to use high-quality materials, a minimum of details and a sufficient amount of light. Using the techniques described above, try to equip the kitchen in such a way that everyone likes it, for which decide on the style direction:

Examples with photographs

In this photo, a well-known technique was used to arrange a triangular kitchen - a stove and a refrigerator were installed along one wall, and a sink opposite.

The kitchen space of a non-standard shape, shown in the photo below, is perfectly zoned by an island with rounded shapes.

This photo shows an example of a kitchen set up that looks like a triangle.

In order to collect all-all-all in the kitchen, you will have to work hard on its layout and design. And in order for everyone-everyone-all to want to be in this kitchen, it must be comfortable, spacious and beautiful. We will tell you which design solutions for the kitchen are most suitable, and how to arrange it.


Kitchen: design and trends

Modern interior design breaks the rules. For kitchen rooms, there are only two requirements - a combination of convenience and versatility, practicality and aesthetics. A cozy, comfortable and beautiful kitchen is what is needed for modern design. Add to this simple, but high-quality materials, perfect furniture and your interior is ready.

In a modern kitchen, every centimeter of space is competently used

But zoning should not be ignored. The kitchen is not the most spacious room, therefore, it is necessary to design the interior and divide it into functional zones correctly. The allocation of a working, dining area and storage space allows you to free up space - you will freely move around such a kitchen.

The work area is the worktop and kitchen drawers containing the cooking utensils. It must be highlighted with a durable finish and spot lighting. Storage space is cabinets and a pencil case, remote from the work area, shelves and a refrigerator. The dining area is the central place in the kitchen. There is a large dining table and armchairs, and above the table is the main source of light (large chandelier, pendant lamp). The more people live in the house, the more space is allocated for the dining area.

The working and dining area should be separated

If the room is small, think about the corner layout and light design of the kitchen facades. So you save a lot of space, and the small kitchen will visually increase.

Another option for planning a functional room is a triangular kitchen design. To achieve the effect of a triangle in zoning, you need to select three vertices: storing food in the refrigerator - processing food in the sink - cooking food on the stove. The logic is this: all the main places are close to each other, and space is freed up in the kitchen for movement.

Sink, stove and refrigerator are located in different corners of the kitchen and form a kind of triangle

If the kitchen is linear, place this triangle on one side of the room. For example: a sink in the center, and on both sides of the sink a refrigerator and a stove. If the kitchen is furnished in two rows, then install the sink and stove on one side, and the refrigerator on the other - in the back or in the front (depending on the layout). Try to keep a meter distance between the points of the triangle.

If the kitchen is made in the shape of the letter P, then place the tops according to the arrangement of the furniture. The base (middle row) is for the stove, and the opposite sides are for storing products and processing them (washing). For a G-shaped kitchen, arrange a wash space in the corner, and a refrigerator and stove on both sides behind the sink.

In a U-shaped kitchen, the center is a stove

This scheme was invented for the convenience of working in a kitchen. The layout of each separate kitchen depends on the architecture of the room. But the latest trends are suitable for decorating any kitchen:

Natural finishes

Natural finishing materials are more appreciated. But you just need to know what and where to place in the kitchen. A wooden tabletop is very beautiful and environmentally friendly, but absolutely impractical. Any stain will remain, a drop of water or a trace from a hot dish will remain with the tree forever.

Kyxnya is at the same time - the same, by the same, mpamopom,

A.A. And if you put them symmetrically - both on the floor and on the apron - the space will increase in a mirror. The unusual texture of the stone instantly transforms the interior of the entire room.

Glass apron

The glass apron is a new design. The working wall looks light and weightless. This option is suitable for the interior in the style of minimalism, high-tech or loft. Glass, bright lighting and light furniture - the very thing for a small room. And as a result, an interesting kitchen design is obtained.

Glass apron is very practical. Due to the integrity of the material, there are no seams on it, which means that dirt does not clog into hard-to-reach places. Glass is easy to install and process. On it you can depict a picture or vice versa, darken and recreate a matte texture.

Glass apron makes the kitchen light and weightless

Metal Select the type of metal according to the color and style of the kitchen. For the classic beige or brown color, bronze or copper is suitable. For the loft - steel, brass. For minimalism or high-tech - chrome, shiny gloss.

Depending on the metal material, the kitchen creates a warm or cold glow. In combination with the color of the walls, furniture and lighting, it gives the desired effect. For small kitchens, combine light colors and cold shine - the room will become larger. For large and spacious kitchens, the opposite is true - dark colors and warm radiance come into play.

Metal kitchen looks stylish and modern

Or rather, their absence. Fashionable and convenient “press and open” systems are gradually replacing handles and carved fittings. The advantages are obvious: it is beautiful, comfortable, minimalistic. There are also minuses: the surfaces will have to be washed frequently to remove palm prints.

For a quAM of the Kyx, the most importantly, in terms of this, is in the fuel of the g. If there is space to work with a kitchen, make an island. So the kitchen will become more ergonomic: storage space is taken out on one line, and the working area is separated. A sink and a stove are built into the island, and a chandelier or several lamps in a row are hung above it.

Kitchen island - additional work and dining area

Three levels

Trench level kitchen is three rows of storage spaces: bottom drawers, top hanging cabinets and shelves or more cupboards on the mezzanine. The cavity is made at the same depth as the upper cabinets. So in the kitchen there is an additional place for storing not the most necessary, but very bulky items. When designing a trexy-level kitchen, combine two colors - dark below, light above. If there are more than three colors, the room will become too gaudy and sloppy.

Trexy level furniture

Countertops

Thick, thin, wood, stone or artificial materials - choose one that fits your budget Do not be afraid of thin countertops. They are made from high-strength materials, and it is much easier to build them into a kitchen set.

Same worktop on worktop and island

Matte finish

Gloss looks nice, but not suitable for the kitchen. All prints, drops, spots are visible on it. Matte facades of kitchen sets are much more comfortable. They are no less attractive, but very practical: grease and dirt are invisible on them. In addition, treat matte furniture with a special composition that prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt.

Matte furniture - for neat and practical

Technological

In a modern kitchen, modern technology is indispensable. Built-in oven, microwave, hob - all of this is already used to. But a smart kitchen combine, an electric kettle with bluetooth, a chrome-plated refrigerator and a dishwasher that imitates the facade of a headset are novelties that will give a kitchen a futuristic look and make it easier to work.

Modern kitchens require a high-tech environment

LYCHAYA for KYXNIA - CONTAYTION OF THE MASTENTENCE COMPETITIONS. This design option is suitable for both small and spacious rooms. Naturalness, naturalness, closeness to nature - in a bright kitchen with wooden decor it will be calm and comfortable.

Another option is a combination of a neutral base for walls and furniture and bright colors as accents. A bright kitchen apron or ornamental textiles look great in a monochromatic room. The main thing in this combination is the balance of neutrality and brightness.

Modern kitchen can be designed in any color. Choose for yourself which one you like best and suits your kitchen.

Stylish and functional. The gray kitchen looks elegant, but at the same time fresh. You can fit any set, table furniture, textiles into it. Bright shades will not be lost on a gray background, but they will not be too flashy either. The gray base balances the interior. Gray is combined with white, blue, olive, brown and even black. It is better to choose a technique in tone, but with a different texture - glossy, metallic or chrome-plated.

The gray kitchen is ideal for both work and festive dinners.

The white kitchen is austere, but very calm and comfortable. She has clean lines and volumetric space. The white kitchen does not look faded and monotonous: it is very bright and active. Both the total monochromatic and bright accents suit the boiled white room. Wood and metal of light shades are combined with white.

White kitchen and white marble - the perfect combination

Choose unusual furniture for a white kitchen - massive or, conversely, weightless. Experiment with textiles: open the curtains with a print on the base background, lay a white tablecloth with a bright path.

There is only one minus in the white kitchen, but it is very significant - darkness. Such a room must always be maintained in a perfectly clean condition. Any stain is immediately noticeable. And this is extra time for cleaning.

Black

Black is not as dangerous in the interior as many people think. The main thing is to enter it correctly. Want a black kyxon headset? Do it! Just dilute it with a little more light shades - gray, brown. Do you like the black floor? Fill out! Then the walls and kitchen furniture will be lighter.

Black is a very graphic and deep color. Black furniture looks more compact than light. You can combine wood, stone, metal with it. Gray accessories look perfect against its background. For the kitchen, it is better to use matte black textures: gloss plus bright artificial lighting shrinks the room and puts pressure on the eyes.

Black kitchen - strict and elegant

Black and white interior will suit the most daring. Just add to it accessories in gray or pastel colors - so the kitchen will become softer. And organize multi-level lighting to dilute the dark range.

green

pure green used in the kitchen only as accents. For the background, choose a warm green color or a shade of cut grass. The combination of gray and green colors works well. If the kitchen is made in light muted shades, green textiles will refresh it.

Blue furniture set is dimmed by light walls and floors

Blue in the kitchen should not dominate, otherwise the room will turn out to be too bright. Gray and blue are perfectly combined: gray walls and blue furniture, gray-blue cabinets, gray headset and blue textiles.

In the classic design they do not save space - the kitchen is maximally furnished and decorated. Choose for a classic interior carved facades of the headset, marble floor, countertops and a crystal chandelier above the dining group.

Classic kitchen in white tones with carved furniture

Neoclassic

This is a modern classic. Neoclassicism is distinguished by its democracy and practicality. The furniture is refined, but not so massive. Shades are light, but with bright accents. Facades and countertops are made of noble materials, but with a touch of minimalism, without pretentious carving.

In fact, this is the same classic but more modest. Instead of a bright and rich chandelier, choose unusual lamps. And calmly replace retro equipment with modern models. Neoclassicism is easy to implement both in a large room and in a small kitchen.

Neoclassic - a calmer interpretation of the classic

Minimalism

Minimalism captures more and more of the kitchen. And this is no accident: the kitchen perfectly combines convenience, functionality and ergonomics. A minimalist kitchen is calm colors, compact furniture and a lot of free space.

Minimalism suits both small and large kitchens. Multifunctional furniture unloads the room and frees the surface from appliances and unnecessary items. For a small kitchen, a corner headset is more suitable, and for spacious rooms, storage systems along the walls and a working island in the middle.

Minimalistic facades - always plain. But the facty is chosen according to taste: the gloss visually enlarges a small room, and the dullness narrows a too large room. The tabletop is selected to match or in contrast.

Warm light colors and greens are attributes of ecostyle

Scandinavia

Simplicity and modernity as it is. The layout is clear, the layout is comfortable, and the space is free. The Scandinavian-style kitchen is decorated in light colors with the indispensable participation of wood. Furniture is chosen compact and multifunctional.

For a Scandinavian kitchen, the geometry of shapes and light colors are characteristic

For such a kitchen, a lot of textiles are required - curtains, tablecloths, napkins. A bright geometric ornament is very welcome. As a result, you will get a comfortable and very cozy kitchen.

Three words - space, roughness, brutality. The loft interior is perfect for the kitchen, but it is advisable to avoid the industrialization of small rooms. Loft is about open space and freedom of movement.

Loft kitchen is a space and an unusual, complex decor

The color scheme is predominantly dark, and the finish is made of natural materials. On the walls they combine painting, brickwork and tiles imitating stone or wood. Metal and concrete surfaces are very welcome. Choose antique or contrasting furniture, modern and minimalist. But with technology, you don’t need to think of anything - chrome-plated and very smart will be very handy for a loft kitchen.

Kitchen furniture and lighting design

Kitchen furniture is the foundation. Every kitchen has:

The more compact the furnished kitchen, the more comfortable it is to be in it. There is no place for excessive decor and pretentiousness in the kitchen. It is worth avoiding too bright colors and make a choice in favor of neutral colors. Strict lines, functionality of furniture and calm shades - this is what characterizes modern kitchens.

There is not a single superfluous element in the modern kitchen

The main element of kitchen furniture is a set. Choose the surface of the facades, guided by your preferences. Don't go overboard with flowers. Two different shades for the top and bottom cabinets - just right. But make the apron bright, contrast.

Kitchen set - the basis of any kitchen

Dining table and chairs, select the overall interior. For the classics, a massive tree is suitable, for minimalism and hi-tech - a glass table and small plastic or metal chairs. Sometimes the dining group is replaced by a bar counter - this technique is perfect for a modern kitchen.

The bar counter instead of the dining table continues the countertop

If the kitchen is small, choose compact furniture. An excellent option is transforming furniture: a folding table, drawers and carousels, hidden chairs. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets save space and increase storage space. If the room is quite small, combine the working and dining areas with a bar counter.
