DIY kitchen design: photos of the best interior ideas

The kitchen is the place where the whole family gets together. Therefore, it should be warm and comfortable for every member of the family and comfortable for the hostess. These factors are worth considering when planning a repair. Today, a self-made kitchen is far from an innovation. Often, template ideas for interior design by experienced craftsmen do not suit creative and demanding customers, then they try to bring individual ideas into an already finished project or create their own style and interior from scratch.

Beautiful layout of a room in a private house from scratch

If the scale of the kitchen or the layout of the entire apartment allows, then you can visually create it unique and non-standard. This can be done with drywall, podium, multi-level ceilings and spot lighting. Such repairs, of course, are easily soiled and long, but in the end you get a cozy kitchenette with which you do not want to leave. Also a great option to create a kitchen studio or connect to a balcony, loggia. If this is a private house (more on the design wrote in

this article), and from the dining room there is access to the terrace, making a beautiful massive glass door, you can solve several problems at once:

1. Increase the amount of light in a natural, economical way.
2. Take out the dining area on the terrace (more here), which is possible in the warm season.
3. Place cabinets and the work area itself on the terrace.

The idea of ​​custom wall decor at home

Also an important element of the kitchen space are partitions. Many psychologists claim that correctly selected shades, colors and patterns in the interior design of a kitchen can affect a person both positively and negatively. So, bright and catchy tones of flowers evoke an appetite in a person, but at the same time, with a long stay in such a room, a person quickly gets tired and experiences excessive nervousness. But the gentle pastel colors, on the contrary, soothe. Therefore, for the harmony of the inner world, these colors are best combined. There are many options for creating a kitchen design and a headset, among the most successful you can highlight:

• stickers, they can be glued to walls or ceramic tiles (read also Tile apron), you can pick up a series of drawings and create a whole story;
• ornaments drawn through stencils (this is the most inexpensive way, because stencils can be made by yourself by downloading a drawing from the Internet);
• paintings, panels, tablets and photographs;
• painting.

You can buy ready-made wallpapers for the kitchen with a picture (considered in this article), which you like, but you can paint the walls in a monotonous shade (the advice on choosing colors was considered here) and perform inserts with a drawing, as in the photo:

A photo of the whole family or even a whole collage will add home warmth. You can decorate such a portrait as you like. The internet is full of ideas.

If the house has small children, and repairs are inevitable, you can use the IdeaPaint wall. You just glue the special wallpaper on the wall and draw on them with a special marker, which is easily erased. Such an undertaking will be interesting not only for children, but also for adults, who will be able to write down the information they need, a reminder or an interesting recipe directly on the kitchen wall. This is not only a useful thing, but also an interesting design.

DIY furniture decoration, or how to create an inexpensive design (photo)

Having finished repairs in the dining room, installing a new set, it often seems boring and simple. To give standard furniture exclusivity, apply the following techniques:

• decoupage;
• painting;
• plastic, foam pads that look similar to carvings (a great option to give the classic style to a regular kitchen set);
• special film: it can look like any natural material, made in any shade you need, or with any pattern;
• non-standard fittings.

The kitchen interior and its design will help to dilute do-it-yourself textile decorations. On the Internet you can find many such master classes from experienced handmade masters. To give the old technique a new look, it can simply be painted or glued with film. In case of painting, it is better to use paint in spray cans; it lays down in an even and thin layer.

There is a special film for the decor of tabletops and facades, it is easily glued, you can choose any pattern or “material”: leather, metal, granite marble and wood.
If bright colors and massive decorations are chosen as the decor, then it is better to give preference to either walls, or furniture, or technique. Decorating everything at once will make the room overloaded, and being in it will become difficult.

Do-it-yourself kitchen furniture

There is nothing better than conveniently arranging a space in the kitchen that can save space in the room and accommodate as many utensils as possible. Often the finished furniture in the interior of the kitchen is quite impractical. Therefore, experienced craftsmen assemble their own or remake the finished one. An important criterion is functionality, practicality, space saving and, of course, external characteristics.

A good solution can be called secret cabinets for large dishes, spices and cereals, cans with preservation and other things.

DIY interior textiles

A cozy interior in the kitchen can be created with the help of textile items, individually decorated. So, curtains, potholders, towels and even pillows will become not just helpers in the kitchen, but also decor. Elements made of one fabric will look harmoniously. It is better to use natural linen and thick cotton for such purposes. These fabrics are not very easily soiled, they absorb moisture well and are heat resistant.

Cozy little things

In any house you can see a small cute little thing, completely useless, but it is she who creates a special homely atmosphere. Among these little things you can use:

• magnets. Today, probably, there is not a single apartment on the refrigerator of which there are no magnets. They can be bought on vacation or made with your own hands. The materials for such magnets are diverse: salted dough, cereals, coffee, tea, textiles, cold porcelain, flowers and other improvised means;
• vases and dishes. An original vase for every little thing can be created from twine, or threads of different colors, glue and a ball. It can also be clay or gypsum dishes;
• souvenirs and caskets. Any materials are suitable for their manufacture: paper, gypsum, cold porcelain, clay, wood. Craftsmen make caskets even out of what an ordinary housewife simply throws out after use: a tape reel from tape, the base of toilet paper;
• hooks. Custom hooks can be made from cutlery, tree branches;
• non-standard organizers;
• pots of various forms in which there can be both flowers and useful greens.

Open shelves can be decorated with glass jars of various sizes and shapes. But the content will give uniqueness to these banks:

• Large multi-colored salt. Of course, such a souvenir can be bought ready-made, but it’s much more interesting to create it yourself. Using food colors, salt can be painted in completely different colors and put in a jar in layers, performing different patterns.
• All kinds of spices and herbs.
• Croup.
• Pasta of different shapes.
• Dried fruits.
• Coffee.
• Canned vegetables and fruits that are nicely packed in jars.

As you can see, such cans are not only a beautiful and original object of decor, but also an excellent repository for bulk products. At the same time, the jar itself can also be decorated with burlap with ribbons, beautiful plates or knitted “clothes”.

Matching decor to style

To create a Provence and country style, use decoupage napkins. This will make a complex decor. To do this, you can use the drawings with pink roses, fruits and vegetables.

• To give surfaces the effect of antiquity, use craquelure varnishes.
• Themed ornament on furniture or walls will help to make a room in ethnic style.
• To decorate the kitchen in the style of urban minimalism, you can hang on the walls photographs and collages with city landscapes, macro photographs of flowers.

Play with light

The kitchen is associated with warmth and comfort, therefore, the more light, the better. More often for the working area they use spot hidden lighting. But with central lighting you can work. A lamp or sconce can be made beautiful and bright. Instead of the usual chandelier, you can hang several pendant lights. At the same time, anything can serve as a lampshade for such lamps.

Making the kitchen design yourself is not difficult at all, the main thing is imagination and patience. Making furniture or any decoration, you are confident in the materials and components. Importantly, you did this thing with love, which means that in any case, it will please the eye and warm the heart. In this case, the repair itself takes time, but will bring only joy from the result.
