Among the abundance of kitchen interior design options, the chalet style stands out for its commitment to natural wood and stone, massive ceiling beams and rough textures. This design has received the greatest distribution in the mountainous regions of Europe, but today the chalet-style cuisine is also popular in our country.

The main features of the design and features of the interior of the kitchen in the chalet style

Spruce wood, sandstone, granite booth - the main building materials of the mountains. But a kitchen with imitation involves the use of only the visible side. Modern materials of the chalet style are subtle, sophisticated, all their rudeness is deliberate. In processing they are highly technological.

Floor tiles “under the boot”, decorative wall materials resembling coarse whitewashing, tiles with “chips” are imitated by relief, texture, bulk glazes and granular compositions of fireclay ceramics.

Only heavy furniture remained authentic, most often from a manually aged massif. The tree in the interiors under the chalet is always natural. You can recreate the pattern of hand-woven weaving with a seal, tin saucers with a patina, but plastic in the decoration of the walls can never compete with the charm of plank boards, which are omnipresent in the chalet.

Board or plinth

When planning the floor, the designer considers the finish comprehensively. Factors taken into account:

• diversity,
• rhythm of detail
• reflection from light surfaces,
• restraint or frivolity of forms - depends on the taste preferences of the owners,
• way of cleaning.

The variety is due to the undesirability of the effect that occurs when there is an excess of one or another material. The overall rhythm is broken by too large parquet floors, small pebbles, bulky details that visually crush, destroying harmony.

The dark floor will not reflect on the ceiling. The room will be dark, contrasting to the eyes. Excessive mosaic will wash out his ascetic mood from the chalet.

They often go in shoes - the tree does not like this. You need to often cycle, varnish. Garbage accumulates in the gaps of the coarse tile - chores of a different nature. Optimal when averaged: slightly gray, unobtrusive, glaze, but without shine.

Half-timbered ceiling structures

Constructions to the ridge, without attic ceilings, are held back by alpine winds. There you need to. But how acceptable, appropriate in the kitchen?

It is possible to open structures when:

• the kitchen is on the top attic,
• the kitchen adjoins the sloping roof to other rigid structures.

The first case was written off as tracing paper: the entrance to the kitchen is through the second floor and above the living room. The second case is good when the plan of the kitchen is a hexagon. Then the beams go into the wall with rays. All the examples described are not for high-rise apartments. A few polyurethane beams (repeating through a meter and a half) would be pointless if not for the possibility of inserting LEDs. Beam light is especially popular. 15 cm high polyurethane seems to be hanging, with a clearance above it.

Wall decoration

The rule is: on the floor - a stone, above - a board. And vice versa. Without abusing either one or the other, you can add "stone", plank shelves. However, a separate pillar of plinths to the ceiling, “soaring”, elongated tiles, as well as vertical or inclined poles, also have a right to exist. Plus furniture.

The performance is typical of a conventional design and environment. Any "roll" in one direction or another should be compensated by the refusal of decor from some elements in favor of others. In addition to shelves, beams, poles and tiles, color can be included. An unobtrusive shade will not become an element of decor. But a bright spot is already an accent.

Functional decor

Meissen porcelain (or a good fake for it) will decorate the plank wall with a glaze of glaze and a variegated pattern. Woven napkins hanging from corners on shelves are also very welcome.Religious inhabitants of the Alps year-round keep what relates to Christmas, Easter and the Annunciation. Statues of angels, Virgin Mary, willow with ribbons, bright wreaths of boxwood - all this is on display.

Textile

Goat red, white and black rugs cover wooden sofas. Homespun paths outline a table seat. Curtains are mainly checkered. On them - brown, gray, orange. Fine motifs of weaving in the chalet's kitchen are rare. Very modern: stripes, squares!

Fireplace

Where there is a lot of firewood - the mouth of the fireplace is wide. The fireplace is shallow: winters are snowy, but not very frosty. Therefore, the firebox with the pipe was often brought out. Hence the visibility of the entire beam structure: the stone is narrow, but the logs are massive. The fireplace is always crowned with an oak plank-shelf.

Furniture

A buffet with tureens behind glass that can be taken out on a special occasion is the pride of the owner of the chalet's kitchen. Glass doors are frequent, convex, because bulk. Pine-chiseled handles, contour carving - that’s the whole mean decor.

On the shelves you can hardly meet the console: the boards are mounted directly to the wall. The same artless table. But the long, designed for households and lost skiers designed. Hearts on the backs of chairs - a decor and for ease of movement. The backs of the massif are too heavy. The legs are chiseled, protruding to the sides. There is enough space in such a kitchen for cooking.

Appliances

Progress does not stand still, designers are working on matching style:

• the brazier with the letter G impresses with its flames behind the glass of the door,
• stainless steel gas stove with bronze chiseled handle,
• the refrigerator is hidden behind a wooden panel,
• Shish kebab is not necessary to hide, because the spit - a fireplace theme.

Stylish little things

Flaunting everything that combines steel and wood: trays, ladles, milk buckets, tongs and knife sets. Lighting fixtures are desirable cylindrical ("inverted basin") or rectangular grilles with embedded bulbs. Crossbars, hooks fasten the headset to the apron, and the supporting wooden frame of the pyramidal hood is so wide that it holds cups. Faience motive is pastoral.

Color schemes

In addition to sand and golden wood, the chalet style involves the use of a grayish tint from bleached wood. The special development of modern designers makes it possible to avoid the oversaturation of brown tones. Scarlet decor - as if faded. But endless cream options expand the range. Among the cold shades, light blue should be preferred. It is especially good on an apron if ceramics is a type of “strainer”. Yellowish walls can aggravate the overall structure, so gray from purple is preferable (weak cold tone). Joyful accents are white napkins on dishes.

Tips:

• put the apron of the kitchen set with tile “under the tree”,
• to order a plate of a table-top from stone agglomerate,
• order a table, chairs and a kitchen set from one customer from one material.
