Repair of the kitchen in modern style with a non-standard upper tier

Repair of our kitchen is completed three years ago. Looking back at that time, we understand that we did everything right. My wife and I did the kitchen project on our own, and we do not regret it at all. The spouse was engaged in calculations, I was responsible for the choice of design, texture and organization of the functional and practical space.

During the creation of the project and its implementation, we changed the concept more than once, chose the style, tried to think through everything to the smallest detail. In a typical budget treshka with a kitchen area of ​​10 square meters, it would seem, there is where to deploy. There were two exits from this room, into the corridor and the living room. The doors to the hall were originally swinging, no amenities, they took up space, so we decided to remove them completely.

The window was replaced, the purchase of a new window sill from a German company pleased. For a glossy snow-white surface, the care is very simple.

The curtains were replaced by roller blinds, and did not fail. They take up much less space, free up access to natural light, and effectively protect from the sun. Products are easy to wash, so the kitchen is constantly clean. They fit perfectly into the chosen Art Nouveau style, and the light yellow color harmoniously combines with the kitchen facades.

In our family, everyone is tall, so the countertop is located above the standard, so that it is convenient for us to cook. This is an important point, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen, while cooking we don’t have to bend down. Health is above all.

The upper tier of the ceiling lockers is also not standard. This solution allowed to visually raise the ceilings. And the glass doors on the drawers through one helped visually lighten the space. The height of this tier is 92 cm.

The tin sink is installed next to the hob for a reason. It was important for us to unload the workspace as much as possible, so it was entered closer to the corner. The facade is made of heat-resistant glass, and the product itself is equipped with a sound absorber. This allows you to muffle the sound of pouring water.

Facades have chosen inexpensive, but practical. Painted MDF is easy to maintain, pleasant surface colors add light and warmth to the interior. You can choose any color, but we settled on a soft yellow.

The corners did not begin to be cleaned, although the rounded countertops would have looked softer. The upper and lower parts look symmetrical. Both tiers have full boxes and shelves. The disadvantages of the facade material can be attributed to only one thing - chips easily appear.

The choice of the refrigerator was influenced by the place of its future position. The fact is that a gas pipe runs along the wall behind, and units with a rear radiator did not fit here. Therefore, we acquired an interesting and convenient model from Samsung with a lateral radiator.

A black gas hob with a nozzle spray system is our favorite, it is a pleasure to cook on it, everything heats up as quickly as possible. Numerous nozzles allow the use of all incoming gas without residues. This is evidenced by the color of the flame - blue.

This is an important point, much less soot and burning is formed in the kitchen, surfaces are not covered with greasy dust. And the surface is easily washed from any pollution. We refused the microwave oven, did not want to waste space for its installation, so we chose an oven with the microwave function. It is small, only two pallets.

The kitchen doors were replaced with curtains, bought them in Ikea, complete with a cornice. Very comfortable design, it is not allowed to spread the smell around the apartment.

The narrow lamp does not burden the space and looks easy and elegant. The high location makes it easier to care for, it does not accumulate grease and dirt.

"Highlights" of our kitchen

I am a desperate music lover, and I just can’t live without music. It is important for me that a pleasant melody always sounds in this room. The issue with the Internet connection, the concealment of wires was resolved quickly, the sound was surround, and the speaker was conveniently located under the upper tier of the cabinets. The idea of ​​organizing sound was suggested to me in an acoustic store.

We bought a set of high-quality English speakers. The speakers are small, an excellent subwoofer, it is possible to connect the middle channel. A very worthy choice, I am satisfied!

Cooking in our musical kitchen is doubly pleasant. No wires are visible, and the subwoofer is vertically located under the dining table and does not bother anyone.

Repair costs amounted to approximately 450.0 thousand rubles. It’s inexpensive, because installation of fixtures and sanitary equipment, installation of filters, I worked on the design of the surfaces of walls and ceiling on my own, this allowed me to save on work specialists.

I had to pay for the installation of electrical wiring and the transfer of gas pipes and water pipes, the preparation of the walls for the final decoration. A little more than 100.0 thousand rubles cost us a new technique, the acoustic device reached 20.0 thousand rubles. So we got a high-tech space, with simple shapes and clear lines.

We didn’t use any additional designer gadgets; convenience and comfort, elegance and practicality are important to us. I think that everything turned out perfectly with us!
