I think that each of us would like to create in the kitchen a warm and comfortable environment for eating. After all, as a rule, during the meal we are going as a family. Therefore, the kitchen is a very important element of our apartment.

To create comfort in the kitchen, I believe there is nothing better than zoning. Zoning the kitchen is the process of breaking it into zones. For example, one can distinguish the recreation area, dining and working area. Great importance in the interior of the kitchen is her plan, but problems with it can be solved with a variety of technical and design techniques. Kitchen dining area, typically requires a comfortable and quiet place with comfortable lighting. At the same time, work area kitchen is designed for labor, so should be tied to the utilities.

A major role in zoning is residential lighting. For example, if your kitchen dining area is located near a window, then in addition to sunlight during the day, at night it can be identified with the help of spotlights built into the eaves, and may suit decorative table lamps. Very unusual and interesting version looks a dining area with ceiling lights, which the height adjustable suspension is not the center of the kitchen, and over the dinner table. The working area can be provided by built-in fluorescent lamps, which are best set on the table, cabinet or sink. For lighting board is best to use the hood with light. If you have an opportunity to invite a professional designer, I would advise you to zoning cuisine with multi-level ceilings.

This design method looks very impressive and stylish.

Very original, and at the same time, a widespread method of zoning the kitchen is the application of various finishing materials in its different zones. For example, the work zone, as a rule, obkladyvayut ceramic tiles, as this is very practical and comfortable, but stylish, because now there is a tile for every taste. Dining area, it is best to glue with warm materials. Most people opt for this purpose cleaning wallpaper, because they create a comfortable environment in the area for recreation. When you do zoning cuisine with a variety of materials, you can use the most unexpected and risky choices. Just be careful that your ideas fit harmoniously into the interior of the kitchen.

Another very popular method in zoning is to use a variety of kitchen flooring. Design your floor, as well as all the kitchen depends on your ideas and fantasies. Basically, two methods of floor coverings. First, the most popular is the combination of the same cover with kitchen in the different zones of different shades and patterns. The second method is more original, it is the use of different materials flooring in different areas of your kitchen.

When zoning cuisine can be put into practice all of your design decisions. In a kitchen you can use several options for the interior. This will help divide the space into zones and to highlight its individuality. When zoning you can use different types of walls, bars, most diverse kitchen furniture and color scheme. You can also use unusual decoration of the room options, for example, you can decorate the kitchen house plants or decorative aquarium with exotic fish. In general, fantasize and get the kitchen of their dreams.

In the case where the owners do not consider it necessary to make the kitchen the main highlight of the apartment, then it can be done in colors similar to the solution of the whole space, but the walls of the kitchen should be painted in brighter tone than the walls of other rooms.

"The kitchen, children, church." German proverb of the three spheres of application of women's power speaks for itself: the kitchen - the most "traditional" place in our home. Everything here is pre-ordained and planned. Yet designers do not cease to amaze us with new ideas in the design of kitchen interiors.
General trends "kitchen mode" as follows. Kitchen equipment is becoming more mobile: welcome different mechanisms in the kitchen furniture, objects that can easily move, change shape and functionality. Therefore, manufacturers are paying so much attention to the fact that the boxes were opened at the touch of a finger, metal mesh is easy to leave, the door closed silently to the kitchen all slid, flew and worked on a light touch.

Another trend: the kitchen is no longer just a place for cooking and food intake and turns in the center of the house - a place where you can socialize, relax. It is no accident for the authoritative design competition «Red Dot Design Award 2008" Best in the category "Design Kitchen" has been recognized for kitchen system SieMatic S1, which in combination is a family entertainment center. Furniture worked on this project together with the producers of acoustics. In the kitchen there are DVD-players and music, with it you can access the Internet, charge the iPod, the headset includes three lighting systems, and the whole machinery operates from a single management system.
Change views not only about content but about the appearance of a modern kitchen. It ceases to be a cozy corner and, increasingly, sparkling metal, lacquer, or even rhinestones. This is understandable - the modern appliances looks so similar to that of the spacecraft equipment, and that's from her kitchen is not far behind. There was widespread "lac" cuisine - it's about technology, "high polish", which was previously used only in the automotive industry. Glossy plane created by applying to the primed surface layers of lacquer, gives a very impressive ... and expensive.

In the past year, yet another design exhibition in Germany by experts approved by the Russian development: acrylic plastic with textured decorative inserts depicting floral and ethnic designs. Experts noted the artistic level of performance, and its practicality has proved itself life - acrylic kitchen surface is easily restored in case of damage.
Of life vehicles came into the kitchen and airbrushing. This service is offered to customers of their kitchens, some manufacturers. Artist does the image, and then reinforces it with varnish - the picture does not rub off or wash off. Now you can order in Russia and the kitchen with sequins - crystal Swarovski. The average price of the furniture set - the order of 200 thousand euros.

Kitchen with crystals confirms another fashionable principle is popular all unique. Prestigious order for custom design the interior entirely and parts thereof: wallpaper, wall panels, paintings on furniture, accessories, which will not be nobody else ...
Most likely, among your friends, there are not many who have homes to meet a street lamp or bench. Presence in the apartment of things from the street - too fashionable direction. Sounds strange, but - forged weather vane will be perfectly combined with a heavy cast-iron cookware, and under the romantic canopy will be pleased to read the cold winter evenings.

Fashion and touched the kitchen curtains. It is valued not only beauty, but also the so-called consumer quality. Developers have come up with a lot of fabrics to make our lives healthier and safer: fireproof curtains are not afraid of fire, the curtains, neutralizing odors (which is sometimes lacking in the kitchen), textiles, who knows how to deal with tobacco smoke. But it was not without an external light, and secured it, of course, metal curtains, which are incorporated into the thin metal filament, making the fabric is very pliable, so the curtains can be given a different form - to create beautiful folds and creases.

Kitchens of most modern apartments are equipped so that the intended mainly for cooking. These kitchens are usually equipped with a small spot for lunch and, in fact, as for cooking. Appearance of the premises, well-equipped so that seldom is any special beauty and uniqueness, due to its small area, not allowing to vary the interior of the interesting little things to add detail, creating a cozy atmosphere. However, recent trends in the interior dictate a more practical and stylish solutions that are designed to not only decorate, but also expand the kitchen space. Namely, we are talking about the kitchen with the adjoining room.

Through this design, the kitchen will not only unique beauty, but also additional functionality. For example, as a result of this redevelopment, instead of 2 small rooms, you get a spacious, bright room where you can take a lot of guests, and if necessary to prepare another dish, and no longer have to leave them. In addition, no longer have to run through the entire apartment with plates in their hands. By combining the kitchen with living room, fine to watch the children playing while cooking, without being distracted from domestic troubles. Not need to buy second TV in the kitchen, instead of buying two TVs you can buy one, but with a huge screen so as not to break away from watching TV, standing at the stove.

But no matter how enticing combination of advantages not seem kitchen with living room, in a combined redevelopment, there are drawbacks. The main drawback - the apartment will be less than one room. Owners of one and two bedroom apartments this interior is hardly suitable, because, surely, would have to sacrifice a bedroom, and sleep have, roughly speaking, in the refrigerator. In addition, the combined space in particular requires order and cleanliness, for example, such a trifle as a dirty dish in the sink, can spoil the appearance of the whole living room, where at any moment can go a neighbor, for example. And still have to carefully choose carpets, bright and with a long nap is unlikely to be relevant in the area where the probability of hitting them fat and bad launderers different substances, is quite high. And the floor in a kitchen-living room will also need to wash more often than usual. The next unpleasant aspect may be different smells that occur during cooking. To this we must be prepared in advance and buy a good expensive hood. But in this case, we must remember that it is loud enough work and you can not just hear his household and guests. Also have to get used to the sound of a running microwave oven, refrigerator, water noise, and many other sounds.

In general, the beauty, style and functionality of interior require some sacrifices. Therefore, before deciding to combine the kitchen with living room, you must compare the pros and cons of such a redevelopment, and decide how comfortable would stay in such a room to each of the household.
