DIY kitchen design: photos of ideas for the best interiors

The kitchen is where the whole family comes together. Therefore, it should be warm and comfortable for each family member and comfortable for the hostess. It is these factors that should be taken into account when planning repairs. Today, a do-it-yourself kitchen is far from an innovation. Often, the stereotyped ideas of 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 premises 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 using 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 that you don't want to leave. It is also a great option to create a kitchen studio or connect it to a balcony, loggia. If this is a private house (for more details, write in

Idea for custom wall decor at home

Partitions are also an important element of the kitchen space. Many psychologists assure that correctly selected shades, color and pattern in kitchen interior design can influence a person both positively and negatively. So, bright and catchy colors of flowers awaken 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. On the other hand, gentle pastel colors are soothing. Therefore, for the harmony of the inner world, it is better to combine these colors. There are many options for creating a kitchen design and a headset, among the most successful are:

  • stickers, they can be pasted on 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, since stencils can be made by yourself by downloading a drawing from the Internet);
  • paintings, panels, plaques and photographs;
  • painting.

You can buy ready-made wallpaper for the kitchen with a pattern (considered in this article), which you like, or you can paint the walls in a monotonous shade (advice on choosing a color was considered here) and make inserts with a picture, as in the photo:

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

For the decoration of countertops and facades there is a special film, it is easy to stick, you can choose any pattern or "material": leather, metal, marble, granite and wood.
If bright colors and massive decorations are chosen as decor, then it is better to give preference to either walls, or furniture, or equipment. Decorating everything at once will make the room overloaded, and it will become difficult to be in it.

DIY kitchen furniture

There is nothing better than furnishing your kitchen space comfortably, which can save space in the room and accommodate as much utensils as possible. Often, ready-made furniture in the interior of the kitchen is quite impractical. Therefore, experienced craftsmen assemble their own or remake an already finished one. An important criterion is functionality, practicality, space saving and, of course, external characteristics.

DIY interior textiles

A cozy interior in the kitchen can be created using individually decorated textiles. So, curtains, potholders, towels and even pillows will become not only 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, absorb moisture well and are heat-resistant.

Cozy little things

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

  • magnets. Today, probably, there is not a single apartment whose refrigerator does not have magnets. They can be bought on vacation or made by hand. The materials for such magnets are varied: 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 dishes made of clay or plaster;
  • souvenirs and boxes. Any materials are suitable for their manufacture: paper, gypsum, cold porcelain, clay, wood. Craftsmen make caskets even from what an ordinary housewife simply throws out after use: a reel of scotch tape, a base of toilet paper;
  • hooks. Non-standard hooks can be made from cutlery, tree branches;
  • non-standard organizers;
  • pots of various shapes, which can contain both flowers and useful greens.

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

  • Coarse multi-colored salt. Of course, such a souvenir can be bought ready-made, but it is much more interesting to create it yourself. With the help of food coloring, salt can be dyed in completely different colors and put in layers in a jar, making different patterns.
  • All kinds of spices and herbs.
  • Groats.
  • Pasta of different shapes.
  • Dried fruits.
  • Coffee.
  • Canned vegetables and fruits that are beautifully stacked in jars.

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

Decor compliance with style

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

  • Use craquelure varnishes to give surfaces an antique look.
  • A themed ornament on furniture or walls will help make a room in an ethnic style.
  • To decorate the kitchen in the style of urban minimalism, you can hang photographs and collages with city landscapes, macro photographs of flowers on the walls.

Play with light

The kitchen is associated with warmth and comfort, therefore, the more light, the better. Most often, hidden spot lighting is used for the working area. But you can work with central lighting. A lamp or sconce can be made beautiful and bright. You can hang several pendant lamps instead of the usual chandelier. In this case, anything can serve as a plafond for such lamps.
