Dining area in the kitchen: how to highlight, photo

The dining area should be appropriately furnished: facilitate communication, relax. In this article, we will consider options for arranging a dining area in the kitchen (photo at the end of the article).

Dining area requirements 

Appetite can be spoiled by self-adhesive film countertops, acetate napkins, disposable tableware. The house should be better than the restaurant, and restaurateurs, in order to attract a client, monitor the inherent comfort factors. The table should be:

1. Light;
2. Purely;
3. Cosy;
4. Nicely served;
5. No cracks and creaks of poorly assembled furniture;

Wall, floor and ceiling decoration

The kitchen dinette is a conventional name. It needs to be furnished according to the principle of a wind tunnel:

• With dominant verticals
• If pictures, then in vertical chains,
• The plates on the wall are the same order
• Trapeziums - with parallel sides, lined up in stripes from bottom to top.

Respectively, a table for such a place is better round. And above the round is always appropriate

suspended ceiling - circle "pill". Hangs from the spot marked on the ceiling chandelier or a group of several lamps. A woven vine lampshade is perfect here.

The floor is desirable podium. Even a small step at the table on the principle of "bar counter" will raise the place. But the rug-mat is also able to decorate the place with dignity.

In any case, the colors of the materials should be from the warm group. The intermediate green with a golden hue is also considered a warm color.

Decorating

Methods for decorating the dining area become more selective if you operate not with random examples, but with the entire arsenal. There are 12 main types of decorative creativity, which are expressed in material forms.

The summarized below illustrates how wide the choice is:

1. Contrast-contour images of people, nature, animals.
2. Applicative images, including mosaics.
3. Ornamental motives.
4. Easel character - in frames, ovals, polygons.
5. Openwork - created with only one line, curved stripes.
6. Theatrical props.
7. Op art geometry.
8. Wall paintings, mosaics, reliefs - what is looked at from afar.
9. Jewelry Art.
10. Sculpture.
11. Applied arts and crafts (saucers, spoons) - almost a sculpture, but a utilitarian purpose.
12. Engraving, embossing, burning, relief embroidery - something that is almost in the plane, but still outside of it.

We exclude something from the above completely:

Decoration type No.	Textile	Wall decor	Lighting
2.	Carpets, pillow covers, sofa upholstery, napkins	Wall Tapestries, Mosaic Glass Tiles	Lampshades
3.	Napkins, tablecloths, carpets	Self-adhesives, wallpaper, MDF panels	Plafonds
4.	Digital Woven Patterns	Plaques, panels, plates	—
5.	All of the above	—	Lampshades, shades, sconces, chandelier arms
7, 8.	—	Panels, posters	Glass lamps
11.	In the dishes
12.	Patchwork and floss, embroidered textiles	Panels, plaques, trays, metal dishes	Lighting fittings

Dishes are excluded, because this type is "with attachment". He can even be a carrier of sculptural images. Op art requires a special approach to decoration throughout the apartment. Number eight needs great viewing distances.

"Refined" is a style that contains only one way of decoration. In pursuit of fashion, op-art admirers force themselves to buy glass chairs and tables on cables (stretching cables). Refusing a dull green color, one should not forget about the wide possibilities of another neutral - crimson. It is neither warm nor cold. Sometimes it is "violet" - that is, purple, closer to scarlet - pink. Raspberry (average) blends flawlessly with everything: with gray, and with black, and with any other. In addition, it stimulates appetite, activates thinking. But this "universal" should not be carried away - everything in moderation.

How to highlight the dining area with wallpaper

New materials, technologies, styles come - good. But they suddenly overwhelm the long-rooted, and quickly brush aside traditions. But in vain.

Of course, I want to try out the unknown. But the apartment is not quite a testing ground. The fashion for Venetian plaster is about to go away, although for many designs it is extremely important. And the safari style, with its skins, saws from giant trees under the tabletops, is also an enduring property.

Each case is unique as a homeowner. The image is created in grains, every little thing is important. Moreover, the wall is not clothes, fashion in real estate is the tenth thing. Therefore it is worth it right choose the type and type of wallpaper, and wall color.

Highlighting carpet

It is simple to feel yourself flying on the carpet: you need to lay the carpet with the terrain, as if from space. An abstract drawing is always associative.

The Persian carpet is still relevant. The floral, geometric ornament of precisely selected restrained tones, by its very appearance, will make you think about purity, and about tone, and about manner.

Light fixtures

Red, blue, green - traffic light list. These beauties are great for the dining room. More rainbow crystal. Wicker japanese balls, Victorian multi-track, billiard boards, where LEDs - in groups, lanterns on bowstrings - just countless. Every creation is worthy of attention. Only an important point to keep in mind: the voltage of the light must be sufficient. Per square meter of educational institution - 100 watts. Above the dining table - just a little less.

How much less depends on the traditions of the family. A white table among white walls can be dimly lit. But darkness is, more likely, for beer bars. Streams of directed rays are more suitable for jewelry displays. There should be a lot of light above the table, soft, with a warm shade.

Pictures, posters, panels

The cabinet style presupposes a lot of frames that tell who was where. The dining room is not very suitable. Still life - flowers, fruits, vegetables - the best decoration. One picture is large or several beautifully grouped.

The red set with white peas is about a ladybug. Appliquely cut out of plywood, schematically painted posters of apples, flowers, birds, insects - a designation of pleasant themes. The main thing is to place it successfully. Even the color is insignificant.

Is it worth getting carried away with the panel? Definitely worth it! Ikebana made of dried natural material, handicrafts made by children, well-designed by the efforts of adults are part of the family hearth. Weaving, painted boards, out-of-frame boutonnieres, scrubbing - if you don't have enough time yourself, the children will help out.

Chair cushions

These pillows are a kind of lifesaver. It happens that you need to put a bench without foam rubber or a full-fledged back near the wall does not fit. The pads help out. The American style assumes a rigid metal structure and mattress pillows. He took it off, washed it, put it back in place.

Sooner or later, the chair tapestry will need to be changed. Why unnecessary expenses? The pillow is aesthetic, synthetic winterizer filling is eternal. In addition, with the textiles of the pillow, you can set a stylish theme about autumn grasses or leaf fall, for example.

Dill inflorescences, bamboo shoots are graphic. It is easy to make up for design flaws with color and graphics of textiles.

Table textiles

The fashion for sushi has come - the papyrus scrolls have followed. Popular from cattail, bamboo. Otherwise, you cannot put hot things on the lacquered table. Plus sauces, vinegar. The rings of the plates are burned out, they cannot be erased. The clatter of spoons on the newfangled glass tables is also not very pleasant.

Sometimes oilcloth rugs can help out, but if the drawings on them are good. A properly served table guarantees an emotional uplift.

Windowsill

The window is locked - dry air. For moistening, it is good to put an ikebana on the windowsill, where the waterfall is backlit. In winter, the window can be illuminated additionally. It is not for nothing that after the New Year, until March, the garlands flicker. But it is better to put the illumination qualitatively, under the profile. And the flowers will develop better.

And on the sunny side, a semblance of blinds will save you from the heat: a thick lattice of bars will accommodate car models or any other collection. The window is stained. Golden lead "spros" are glued crosswise. Rhombic contours surround tinted and transparent glass. Sometimes supplemented with self-adhesive foil.

Houseplants 

A dining area in the middle of a winter garden is feasible. A large bush of camellia, lemongrass is on the floor. We fill the shelves with ampelous evergreens. We collect small cacti in several pieces, set them in the center of the table.

Red-leaved, curly, ever-blooming ones evaporate phytoncides, saturate the air with oxygen, kill the winter blues with their one look.

Should I provide shelves for plants in advance? Of course! With pots, they have significant volume and weight. By arranging the shelves, you can worsen or improve the overall design of the dining area. Plants, however, cannot spoil the climate or the general appearance.

Dining area with corner sofa

The legend that a corner sofa saves space in the kitchen needs to be dispelled: the back will take 15 centimeters, only a child will sit on the corner. The trapezoidal angle is more practical. The triangular shelf of the bend, occupied by an electric kettle or bread bin, is important for the household.

A bad piece of furniture is a corner sofa made of laminated flooring. The edges now and then go astray, fly off. We move - the fastening bolts are turned out, because the weight is great. It is better to order a corner sofa made of pipes. Metallic acrylic paint will protect pipes from rust. The weight of the tubular structure is less. In addition, the pipes create a beautiful oval bend on which, indeed, someone can fit.

Small kitchen table

The round table does not fit - we put the "moon". The wall position requires a more thorough strengthening of the adjacent wall. The ceramics are easy to clean and the wood looks natural. We combine the qualities - and the choice for ceramics "imitation wood". Cork panels take up very little thickness. Roads, but highly decorative. Their contour can be cut in waves, drops, under a stone rus.

PVC plastic is also an option. But ordinary glass is also worth considering. Applied to the wall for an almost invisible finish. The matte patterns of whitish graphics are very effective.
