Fashionable kitchen project with an unusual graphite set

Recently, we became the happy owners of a new apartment, and immediately took up repairs. I really wanted to move to my home already. Repair began traditionally with the premises of the kitchen. During the preliminary work, my wife and I visited the designer to decide on the future headset. Initially, we vaguely imagined what exactly we wanted to receive, so the services of a specialist were more than ever helpful.

It immediately became clear that the white version was not for us, we wanted to get a contrasting interior, where the furniture would be dark. An experienced designer takes into account the wishes in the plan-project regarding the creation of a pencil case for equipment, which significantly saved space on the work surface. They decided to put a refrigerator outside the kitchen.

The kitchen, on the advice of the designer, was chosen with curved facades that look very elegant and stylish. Particularly pleased with the lack of sharp corners near the doorway, this made the atmosphere softer and more harmonious.

The upper cornice was forced to leave, because it hides the passing pipes. The complete set came out a little more expensive than we expected, but it was worth it, and as a gift we received an elegant illumination of glass cabinets.

The designer discouraged us from the black facades; this color does not fit into any interior and gives too much contrast. Therefore, we settled on graphite and did not lose. In combination with light surfaces of walls and floors, it looks very harmonious.

The MDF suite was made for 2-2.5 months, during which time we managed to lay ceramic floors, decorate the suspended ceiling and paste the walls with practical non-woven wallpaper.

The main advantage of these wallpapers is that they are easy to clean. This is an important quality for the material used to finish the walls in such a difficult room to maintain order as a kitchen.

We have a white dining group, all the elements of Belarusian-made furniture are perfectly combined with each other, creating a single whole. We bought kitchen gadgets - a dishwasher, oven and hob, and received a microwave as a gift.

In the kitchen, even a small TV fit perfectly, the only piece of equipment that moved with us from a rented apartment. It may seem that it was not very comfortable, almost under the ceiling, but we do not watch it so often.

The hood is powerful enough, it copes with the removal of smells of cooked food, so the doorway was left free. Refusal from the door allowed to make the room more free and airy. In our opinion, this is a great advantage for a small premises.

In tune with the general situation, a roller blind was hung on the window; most likely, this is a temporary solution. It is worth noting that such curtains give the interior rigor. In the future, we will exchange it for a beautiful tulle and elegant curtains, but for now it’s convenient for us to use it. Roller blinds do not interfere with access to the balcony.

At first glance, the interior turned out to be too restrained and inexpressive. To get away from excessive seriousness and rigor, we tried to dilute it with designer gadgets. The author of the decisions in the decor of the kitchen belongs to my wife.

She chose interesting elements, such as a coated board, which was located above the dining area. The advantage of the decor is that it can be changed at any time. One has only to erase the drawing and draw something new.

The eating area has separate lighting, a lamp with a simple lampshade hangs above the table, however, it fits perfectly into the chosen style.

We really like our kitchen. In my opinion, we managed to create a convenient, practical, functional and ergonomic space, all colors are harmoniously combined, the materials are selected perfectly. It may seem that there is not enough comfort, but we will still have the opportunity to experiment with the decor.

I believe that the result of our efforts is worthy, in the conditions of economy we managed to create an environment in which each member of our family feels comfortable. At the same time, repair costs are relatively small. On average, we spent about 300.0 thousand rubles on furnishing the kitchen, 150.0 thousand of which cost a kitchen set, 30.0 thousand were spent on finishing materials.
