15 kitchen design ideas with photos
Idea 1. Restrained interior with gold details.
If the interior of your kitchen is decorated with taste, but something is missing in it for the wow effect, then it is probably worth adding some gold to it. However, not necessarily gold. Bronze, brass, copper parts work even better.
Our advice: The main condition for success - the situation should not be too elegant, colorful, with an abundance of gloss, and gold accents should be quite a bit. For example, it can be: lamps, headset handles, mixer, picture frames, table accessories.
If you are equipping a kitchen from scratch and doubt the choice of colors, we recommend choosing a simple and win-win scheme: gold details + furniture and walls of neutral shades (gray, milky, beige).

Idea 2. Monochrome white kitchen - simple and stylish.
When the walls, floor and kitchen are white, the boundaries of space seem to disappear and even the small kitchen begins to seem spacious, filled with light and air. By the way, white surfaces are not brand at all and require the same care as surfaces of any other color. Moreover, they are much more practical than dark materials, and even the biggest mess on a light background looks less annoying.
Our advice: In order for the monochrome white interior not to resemble a hospital ward, you need to use a lot of “contrasting” textures and materials. White brick, gloss, glass, white wood, ceramics, textiles and stucco - all this will make the kitchen cozy and stylish, and not sterile and boring.

If the slate surface is needed for only a year or two, then the wall should be decorated with self-adhesive chalky wallpaper - they are inexpensive, easily glued and peel off.
