A kitchen in a private house can be large or small, separate, combined or walk-through; it often has irregular shape and features like ceiling beams, mansard roof, boiler, exit to the terrace... There can be a lot of conditions that need to be taken into account in the design of the kitchen of a private house. In this material, we have collected 12 general tips that will help you plan an interior from scratch or transform an existing environment, and also presented a selection of 60 inspiring photos.

Tip 1. Choose a kitchen interior style in accordance with the style of the facade of the house and the features of the area

As a rule, the kitchen interior style country house(and other rooms) is formed based on the tastes of its inhabitants, as well as taking into account the style of the facade of the house itself. Sometimes the choice is influenced by the features of the area where the house is located. Let's say its history or proximity to the river/sea. It’s so great when the interior, exterior and surroundings of the house are a natural continuation of each other. Here are some tips to help you decide:

• In classic mansions and cottages, lined with brick or stone, classic interiors in the style: Empire, eclecticism, chinoiserie, French or, as well as a more democratic American style are appropriate.

• IN wooden houses made of timber or logs, a kitchen in the style of: rustic, eco, Gustavian (Swedish Empire style) and, of course, a hut (for log houses) or a noble estate (see photo below) will look most organic.

• In modern cottages with panoramic windows most often, or eco.

• In siding houses, Scandinavian and “rustic” interiors, as well as simplified classic style(American) and industrial.

• If the house is located by the sea/river/lake, then you can choose Provence style.

• If your house is located near a ski resort or you visit the countryside mainly in winter, then take a closer look at the chalet style.

Tip 2. To make your kitchen comfortable, follow the “working triangle” rule when planning

According to this rule, three strategically important areas - the sink, stove and refrigerator - should be located next to each other, forming a triangle.

• The distance from the stove to the sink should be no less than 60 cm and no more than 180 cm. It is good to place a food preparation area in this gap. The distance from the sink to the refrigerator can be from 45 cm to 2 m. In this gap there is a “unloading and loading zone”, as well as auxiliary kitchen appliances, say, an electric kettle, a toaster, etc.

Tip 3. The most convenient kitchen layout is U-shaped, the most versatile is L-shaped.

From the point of view of the “work triangle”, the most successful layouts are:

• U-shaped - when the furniture and work points are arranged in a U-shape, you can cook while standing almost in one place, making only turns with your body. True, for such a layout the width of the room should be no more than 3.2 m, and better - no more than 2.4 m, otherwise the distance between the side parts of the headset will become too large.

• Island - no matter how you arrange the furniture in the work area, especially if you equip it with a stove and/or sink. However, even the smallest island requires space, because there must be passages of at least 1 meter around it. We talked in more detail about the arrangement of the island in Tip No. 4 (see below).

The most universal layouts are:

• L-shaped - a little less convenient, but the most universal furniture arrangement scheme, which is especially relevant rectangular shape. When choosing this layout, it is advisable to place the refrigerator in line with the sink, and not the stove.

• Linear is a universal, but most inconvenient option for kitchen layout. Due to the fact that the working areas are arranged in one row, during cooking the cook has to walk back and forth extra meters more than once, which means wasting time and effort. However, for small kitchens this option is often the only possible solution.

A two-row (parallel) layout is suitable for:

• Double-row - suitable for kitchens with a width of no more than 3.2 m, and ideally no more than 2.4-2.5 m. In this case, the stove and sink are placed side by side in one line, and the refrigerator along with the oven and microwave are on the opposite side . Sometimes between two rows of furniture they place dinner table as shown in the photo below.

Tip 4. If your kitchen has an area of ​​more than 18 square meters. m install a desktop island

An island is a super-functional table that can serve as a place to prepare food, a place to store utensils and groceries, or a bar for breakfast and snacks. You can also build a stove, sink, wine cabinet, or a small refrigerator.

This assistant is especially relevant for:

• Kitchens with uncomfortable linear layout;
• /dining room (see photo)/hallway.

Keep in mind that a small island measuring 120x100 cm is suitable. Such a table can also be mobile. The shape of the island should match the shape of the room.

• In a kitchen with an area of ​​less than 18 square meters. meters instead of an island, you can install a peninsula, which is more compact due to the end abutting the wall or furniture.

Tip 5. If the kitchen is a walk-through, work points should be arranged so that the passage always remains free

If the kitchen is a walk-through kitchen, for example, combined with a hallway, or has access to a terrace or backyard, then the work area (that very “triangle” of stove, sink and refrigerator) needs to be planned so that it does not intersect with the passage. Then the running back and forth of household members will not interfere with the person preparing food or cleaning.

• Remember that the width of the passage should be at least 1 m, and ideally 120 cm or more.

By the way, in a walk-through kitchen it’s great to use a bar counter, island or peninsula as a space divider.

Island in the walk-through kitchen of a country house

If you have the opportunity to install/move the sink to the window, then by all means use it. This way you can admire nature, the backyard lawn, or at least the view of the sky above the cottage village every day, while doing everyday affairs. However, a significant extension of communications is not always desirable.

... in whole or in part, replacing them open shelves if the roof slopes hang too low. This way you won’t clutter up the interior and make good use of the walls under the slopes. In this case, the lower cabinets should be equipped primarily drawers, which are much more convenient and spacious than cabinets. The following selection of photos shows examples of arranging a kitchen in the attic.

Tip 8. If the kitchen is combined with a living room or dining room, zone the space

Zoning the space brings a sense of order and comfort to the interior. Here are a few techniques that are especially relevant for a kitchen in a country house:

• Finishing the floor in the kitchen and the floor in the living/dining room with different materials. So, for example, if all the rooms have wooden floors, then in the kitchen it can be tiled with more practical tiles, porcelain stoneware or stone.

• Partial insulation of the kitchen. To prevent clutter in the kitchen or dining room from spoiling the look of the living room, you can install sliding doors, curtains, panel curtains, screens, low or narrow partitions.

• Zoning with lighting. In the kitchen, it is enough to install a bright overhead light and furniture lighting; the lamps themselves should be laconic. But in the living room the light should be multi-level and softer when the main ceiling lighting complemented by floor lamps, wall sconces and table lamps. The lamps themselves can be elegant. It is advisable to highlight the dining area with pendants or a chandelier installed directly above the table as shown in the following photos.

• Arrangement of furniture at the boundaries of zones. As delimiters you can use: a bar counter, a dining table, an island table or a peninsula, a sofa, armchairs, consoles and shelving.

• Use of carpets. Large carpet on the floor in the living/dining room will divide the space and create coziness. You can also lay a carpet between the zones. For example, between the work and dining areas.

Tip 9. For a combined space, a powerful hood is required

To protect curtains, upholstery, pillows and carpets in the living room from culinary odors, you should install a dome-type hood with a capacity of at least 1000 m 3 /hour.

Tip 10. Black and dark brown floors, countertops, splashbacks and furniture fronts are impractical

Even the smallest crumbs, water droplets and dust are visible on dark surfaces. Therefore, the most dirty areas in the kitchen - the apron, countertops and especially the floor - are best decorated in light shades.

Tip 11. When decorating the kitchen of a country house, try something that you didn’t dare to do in a city apartment

This may be a different interior style, bold colors, non-standard layout, decorating techniques or things that you like, but do not fit into the interior of your “urban” kitchen.

Tip 12. Use mainly natural materials in decoration and decoration

By subordinating the interior decoration of your home to the idea of ​​closeness to nature, you can fully experience all the charm of life outside the city.

• When decorating the kitchen of a private home, try to avoid using vinyl wallpaper, plastic panels, double-glazed windows, laminate and unnatural linoleum.
• The ideal furniture for the kitchen of a country house is wooden (including plywood and veneer), forged and wicker.
• It is also better to choose natural or mixed textiles.

However, in some cases, the use of artificial materials is justified. For example, a countertop made of artificial agglomerate is much more practical and durable than a countertop made of natural stone(see material:), and a nylon carpet is almost as good as wool and does not cause allergies.

Have a big house of your own - huge advantage, but it is important to arrange it correctly. When planning, you need to think through every detail design of a kitchen-living room in a private house to create a comfortable environment. Some homeowners have to modernize an old house or transform a summer house to bring their home up to date with the spirit of the times.

Combining a kitchen with a living room is a very popular design solution today.

The harmonious interior of the combined space lifts your spirits, increases your appetite, and creates a desire to invite guests over. Using expert advice, it is easy to combine the kitchen and living room according to all the rules for organizing space.

The main goal pursued by combining the kitchen, dining and living areas is to visually expand the space.

How to plan a combined room in a cottage or private house

Implementation design ideas largely depends on the total area of ​​the rooms that are decided to be transformed. This is done for different purposes.

1. Home modernization.
2. Repurposing adjacent premises.
3. Expanding the living room area at the expense of the kitchen.
4. Implementation of a specific design concept.

Let's consider the option of decorating a kitchen-dining room located in a private house of an urban or country type.

These goals can be combined or a radical modernization of the living space can be made for the sake of some interesting idea. For example, you can set up a billiard room in the home of a fan of this game. But with the same success interior of a kitchen-living room in a private house decorate it as a large home theater or a football fan's room. The combined room can be a cozy living room with a bar counter and an island sofa in the center near a large aquarium.

From the point of view of arranging a large room in which the kitchen, dining and living areas are connected, this is not an easy task.

When space is limited, you have to be especially creative. To visually expand interior of a kitchen-living room in your own home , it is important to consider what the combined dining room will look like. All design elements must be decorated in the same style. What was previously not given much importance is now recommended to be made more aesthetically pleasing.

As a result, you need to get a space that will 100% perform the functionality assigned to it.

Think about what the updated design of each corner will be like - everything should be done with taste:

• Place for cooking;
• Kitchen apron;
• Stove or other hearth;
• Shelves for kitchen equipment;
• Fronts of cabinets for kitchen utensils;
• Free walls.

The interior should be convenient, comfortable and easy to clean.

Classic space organization scheme in the design of a dining room in a private house.

TABLE

1.	Kitchen block	The main area for preparing dishes, everything should be at hand so as not to waste time moving around the kitchen
2.	Dining area	Visually separated from the catering unit (high back of the sofa, bar counter, rack for dishes, decorative rim), the base is a table, a dining set, a corner with a low table
3.	Guest area	Sofa set or group upholstered furniture, combine the dining area with the guest area, plus a large countertop
4.	Auxiliary space	Aisles must be clear - for the delivery of ready-made dishes in a straight line to any place (where guests and hosts eat)
5.	Additional functionality	TV or plasma panel, monitor, aquarium.
6.	Adjacent areas	The space under the stairs to the 2nd floor of the house, storage rooms, porch, and hallway are designed as a single space.

The design of the kitchen-dining-living room should look not just attractive, but harmonious and balanced.

In confined spaces small house adjacent zones can be combined. The cooking area should be optimized to suit the needs of the family and the lifestyle of the home owners. Often this is a country house, where people come mainly to summer time and cook for outdoors. At the dacha, an electric kettle and a 2-burner stove or electric heating element are enough.

In a building without heating, a fireplace is needed, which will become worthy decoration design of a kitchen-dining-living room in a private house.

Principles of organizing a united space

Two-story houses in the private sector have their own layout features. Sometimes this is an inferior dacha building with an auxiliary ground floor, including open veranda downstairs and attic. The distribution of the main zones should be as convenient as possible for home owners. It is inconvenient to lift cooked food to a different floor each time, so a combined dining room is the best option for country houses with an attic.

When planning renovations in big room with a large functional load, you will need to think about the style and color palette interior

In cottages where everything is provided in advance architectural plan, it is difficult to make a significant transformation of space. The same principles of combining adjacent rooms apply here as in city apartments during redevelopment.

It is necessary to ensure an ergonomic arrangement of structures, furniture and decorative items that do not interfere with free traffic around the house.

Layout, design and interior of a kitchen combined with a living room in a private house thought must be given to the proportional distribution of the area.

1. In a house where there is a servant who prepares food, they have maximum equipment, the working area is quite large, and there is special frying equipment.
2. In families where they like to gather big family, you need a set - a large dining table with chairs with high backs.
3. At the dacha of a single person who receives friends or visitors based on their interests, the catering unit is usually small, but the space for receiving guests is expanded.

When planning a renovation or reconstruction of a kitchen-living room to obtain a comfortable and rational arrangement functional segments must take into account the size and shape of the room.

When the dining room and living room are combined, in the center of the room there is not a dining set, but island sofas with a wide table in the center. The number of guests often varies, it is advisable to have several comfortable seats available that can be moved around the house.

Think it over stylistic decision all elements of the combined room..

When remodeling a kitchen, the amount of equipment is initially determined. Of course, the more devices for processing food, the more convenient it is to cook and preserve everything that has grown in the garden. But there is equipment that is used once a year or less (barbecue, juice cooker, miracle stove), they should not be among the items of daily use.

A selection of design projects for modern living rooms combined with a kitchen and dining room will inspire you to search for your own design ideas, color solutions and original combinations.

Thoughtful interior of a dining room-kitchen in a modern private house designs are usually complemented with modern attributes. Most often this is:

• Bar counter;
• Modern chairs;
• Hanging plasma panel;
• Open shelving for dishes and kitchen utensils.

The size of refrigerators and their quantity must also be justified. If the store is within walking distance, there is no point in installing 3 refrigerators and filling them with drinks, raw meat And fresh vegetables, as is customary in some families. It is better to buy everything fresh more often, and large stocks are appropriate if the house is remote - purchases are made once a month.

“Global” stocks do not at all decorate the interior of the kitchen-dining room in a private house, they only occupy useful space.

Advice . With any organization of space, add some zest to the design of the combined kitchen, something memorable, reflecting the taste of the owners of the house. For example, the decor is typical for a fisherman or hunter, the house of a travel lover should be recognizable by bright accents, How on photo.

It is important to think about how the windows of the combined room will look. IN small house it makes sense to replace the window sill with a wide tabletop, where you can sit down to have a snack without setting a large table.

The same function is performed by the bar counter that separates the kitchen from the living room.

Advantages and disadvantages of combining rooms

The design of a combined kitchen and living room in a private house is specific, but it has its advantages:

• Lots of space, light and air;
• Expanded working area for food processing;
• A big bonus in the form of wide passages;
• From the kitchen it is convenient to observe everything that is happening in the adjacent rooms;

IN modern premises The kitchen area is most often subject to zoning.

But there are also disadvantages:

• Spread of condensation and condensation, odors from cooking, soot and fat suspension if the hood is weak (or absent);
• High noise level - there is no obstacle to the propagation of sound;
• Shared space makes it difficult to concentrate or relax when someone is doing the kitchen or other things;
• Smells from cooking stimulate appetite in advance;
• Garbage from the kitchen spreads throughout the room, you have to clean it up frequently, and unwashed dishes spoil the overall impression of the living room.

The lighting in the kitchen area should be brighter than in the recreational segment - the living room.

Advice . It is important to think through facing materials so that all surfaces are easy to clean. Be sure to provide the stove with a powerful hood and think about how to hide its bell, which is not particularly aesthetically pleasing, behind the decor. The kitchen apron can be decorated with a beautiful panel made of tiled materials, mosaics or decorative panels.

Secrets of zoning the kitchen and living room

The basis for a successful design of a living room combined with a kitchen in a private house is V functional zoning. This is a guarantee of comfortable living and convenience in the creative process when you want to experiment with culinary recipes.

A popular way to mark invisible boundaries kitchen space from the living room - highlighting the level using a suspended ceiling.

Emphasized functionality - everything necessary for a certain type of activity or recreation is concentrated on 2-3 squares of space. For example, a personal space where you want to retire for studies or intellectual work should be set aside so as not to be distracted by small things.

The main place should be equipped in such a way that during work you do not have to run around the corners in search of the most necessary things.

It should be clear to guests entering the house where each of them ends. functional zones, even if it is a studio type room. In a house without interior walls It should be noticeable by the demarcations where the hallway ends and the living room begins.

In the interior of a living-dining room in a private house, the kitchen unit should be separate from the eating area.

There are several zoning techniques.

1. Choice of color - the catering unit, dining room and reception area have their own shade and palette, but they should all be in harmony.
2. Transparent partitions (glass, fabric, plastic).
3. Materials of different textures - tiles for the kitchen, linoleum for the dining room and laminate - in the living room part of the combined space.
4. Zoning by the ratio of plane levels (thresholds, podiums, steps and multi-level ceilings).
5. Each part of the room has its own finishing materials.
6. Separating furniture into blocks (put it on a side, an end, a peninsula or in the form of a short partition).
7. Decorative screens and panels, designer panels, installations or works of contemporary art.
8. Different lighting in general light design of the living room and kitchen in the house.

Such designs can also play a decorative role, if executed multi-level ceiling“connect” original shapes or unusual colors.

Local lighting should fit organically into the overall solution or complement front chandelier in the living room.

Stylistic solution of the combined space

When expanding usable area By combining 2-3 adjacent rooms, more free space appears. This gives an additional bonus when choosing a style.

If we're talking about about a new house, where the style has not yet been decided, you need to focus on architectural solution. Traditional wooden frame, modern house or a classical building is equipped according to long-established canons.

To simplify cleaning processes, the flooring of the kitchen area is made of easily washable materials with high resistance to moisture.

For lovers of solid houses, when they build “for centuries”, passing on the estate by inheritance, it is worth focusing on the classics or historical style. It does not go out of fashion, only the approaches to design implementation are slightly transformed interior of a kitchen-living room in a private house.

For those who love refined and luxurious interior, a historical style is proposed:

• Empire;
• Renaissance;
• Baroque;
• Rococo;
• Palace style.

When you don’t want to go to extremes, it’s better to stick to something conservative - English classics or minimalism.

Traditionally, a baroque interior involves ornate lines, many details and accents.

For people nostalgic for rural childhood, provincial wilderness and simplicity embodied in a new way, we recommend:

• Retro or vintage;
• Country in any version, including chalet, Provence, ranch or Russian hut style (the styles fit organically into buildings with an attic).

When choosing an interior design, remember that you live here, and not the guests whom you want to impress. Possible different variants, the main thing is to create the home of your dreams. Modern style solutions:

• Modern;
• Loft;
• High tech;
• Fusion;

Lovers ethnic styles usually have established interests, but the most popular are:

• Japanese minimalism;
• Scandinavian functionalism;
• Arabic style;
• Moroccan; Chinese;
• Indian;
• African interior style.

Advice . When choosing furniture sets, pay attention to technical description. Many headsets, soft corners and universal sets have a style specified. This makes the choice much easier.

The harmonious interior of a living room with a kitchen in a private house largely depends on the color scheme.

At the time of buying household appliances, it is worth thinking about how they will fit into the stylistic decision and the overall range.

Design of a kitchen-dining-living room in a private house - 50 ideas:

In modern interior design, every detail is important. In order for all the details to be in harmony with each other, you need to select them correctly. No less important is also given to the window. This is especially true for the kitchen.

Decorating a window in the kitchen

Decorating a kitchen window beautifully is not an easy task. After all, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the place: constant temperature changes, the presence of odors, excess humidity.

They come to the rescue various options window decor using . However, their choice must also be careful and conscious.

Curtains will look out of place on. A good solution might be or.

But, if your batteries are not very best view, it is better to abandon this idea. Then hang beautiful curtains or curtains made of light fabric.

It is worth considering when choosing curtains. If this modern style, then Roman blinds, photo curtains or light tulle drapery would be very appropriate.

Country style involves using a lot of fabric. In this case, all textiles must definitely be from the same burlap.

In addition, if they hang on the window, then you can put various decorative items on the windowsill. Most often they are a bowl of fruit (fresh or plastic), a vase of flowers, a few things different sizes pumpkins. In general, everything that lifts your spirits.

Kitchen with two windows

A kitchen layout with two windows is not very common. However, if this is your layout, we can say that you are lucky.

Having two windows has its advantages:

• More daylight.
• From a long window sill you can make or organize a workplace there.
• Psychologically, there is a better perception of cooking and cleaning the kitchen, since the housewife looks not at the wall, but at the view from the window.

The disadvantages include the following:

• If windows are installed poorly, cold air can enter the room in large quantities.
• The second window occupies a part of the wall along which it could be hung for storing dishes or food.

Designing a kitchen with two windows is not so difficult. The main thing is to combine the opportunities that present themselves with desires.

For example, storage niches can be placed under the windows. If the distance from the floor to the window is within seventy centimeters, then it is better to make dining area, since in this case the tabletop will be low and it will be inconvenient to work on it.

Tabletop by the kitchen window

Most often, when the kitchen is small and every meter is important to use it functionally, a countertop is installed near the window. For this technique to look harmonious, it is necessary to make the window sill a continuation of the existing table. To do this, it is important that both the window sill and the tabletop are on the same level.

Therefore, before making repairs, you should already know exactly what kitchen furniture you will have. In almost all room layouts, the radiators are located under the windowsill.

In our case, it is better to try to move the radiators to another place, and make shelves under the tabletop for storing kitchen utensils or other necessary items.

In a small kitchen it will be very harmonious and functional if the countertop, which is installed instead of a window sill, smoothly transitions into. Then you will get a fairly large dining area.

For a medium-sized kitchen, a countertop instead of a window sill can be a separate work area.

You should also remember that it is necessary to leave free space for opening the window sashes. Therefore, you should not place tall objects or decorated vases on such a tabletop.

If you still can’t leave that number of centimeters, then it is recommended to install sliding window, which opens like a wardrobe.

Let's consider which material is most optimal for a tabletop near a window.

Most often used:

• stone;
• marble;

The most budget option There will be chipboard and MDF. At the same time, you can make the countertop yourself, since processing these materials is quite easy. But it is worth remembering that chipboard and MDF should not be wetted too much or too often. Otherwise, such a tabletop will not serve you for long.

Marble or stone is used very rarely and most often in expensive interiors. If the kitchen is very small, then you can design a folding tabletop. It is easily adjustable and does not clutter up the kitchen space.

Sink by the kitchen window

When a renovation is started, you want the result not only to look beautiful, but also for all the things and details to be as functional as possible. This is especially true for small kitchens. Modern design The kitchen includes a sink near the window. This has its advantages.

Very often the place by the window is not involved in any way in the interior. Washing by the window frees up additional space. So, where it was previously located, you can make a working surface.

This technique will help save electricity. Since most often the sink is located in a corner where there is little light, you always have to turn on the light. If you install the sink near the window, then this need disappears.

Uplifting mood. The reluctance to wash dishes is caused by the monotony of the work, plus your gaze always rests on the wall. When you wash by the window, you will be able to watch everything that is happening on the street, and a beautiful view from the window can bring a little joy to the process of washing dishes.

Of course, with such a layout, difficulties during repairs cannot be avoided. But don't be afraid in advance. Everything has a solution. So the question immediately arises, where to put the battery?

Old layouts do not provide for the possibility of moving radiators. But technology does not stand still. It can serve as an excellent heater. Therefore, the batteries are simply removed.

Moving the sink to the window will also require lengthening the pipes that lead to water riser. You will have to spend money and think wisely about how to disguise the pipes.

A problem arises such as splashes on the window. But this problem is completely solvable. You can move the sink as far as possible from the window using a window sill.

Another way is to install not a metal sink, but one made of granite or stone. This material does not allow water droplets to repel and fly away over a long distance.

In older kitchen layouts, the window sill is located above the level of the countertop. This creates an additional barrier against splashes hitting the window.

It is worth noting that if there is a sink near the window, it may be difficult to open it. The modern design of the equipment allows the installation of removable taps. All you need to do is just bend it and then you can safely open the window. Or you can install a small height mixer.

Using window space correctly

It is not necessary to install a countertop or bar counter instead of a window sill. There are many ways to properly use every free meter near the window. For example, you can organize storage space kitchen appliances and instruments.

Don't be discouraged if you have a small kitchen. As you can see, a window can help you decide on the distribution of furniture and storage space.

To make the interior look harmonious, seek help from a professional designer. If you don’t have extra money for this, and their services are not cheap, then you can look at the photos real interiors and apply some idea in your kitchen.

Kitchen design with a window (real photos)

Typically at your disposal big square the kitchen itself, as well as such pleasant “things” for the housewife as a cellar or basement.

Let's find out how to choose the right kitchen design in a private home and look at photos of a wide variety of layouts.

Provence and country

The most favorite style trends among country residents are rustic styles.

Pastel colors, wooden furniture, textile trim, ceramic pots, embroidered patterns, cute porcelain trinkets - everything will be rustic in your country cottage or country house.

Provence, a provincial style that originated in French villages in the century before last. The interior is discreet, without any pretentious details, deliberately shabby and aged, with a certain French charm.

Drawings include flowers, irises, daisies, orchids, cockerels. Large and small, flowers on curtains, furniture doors, dishes, flowers in vases and pots.

All surfaces are treated only natural materials. On the walls , facing stone or brick panels. Wood on the floor, matte ceramic tile, specially aged laminate.

The ceilings are plastered, white or beige. The signature feature of Provence and country - wooden beams under the ceiling. The doors and windows are wooden and also with an antique effect, light gray with floral paintings.

What about without decor? There are bunches of dried flowers under the ceiling, braids of onions and garlic, linen curtains on the windows, clay pots and plates.

And it’s not at all necessary to have high ceilings and large windows. The unique spirit of French Burgundy will fit perfectly into your small city house.

It is not difficult to build a kitchen interior in a private house if the design and decoration of the room are tied to the general style of the building at the design stage. If this was not done when detailing the design task, then you will have to rack your brains quite a bit before you can choose the right look for the kitchen environment, beautiful and at the same time functional.

How to approach interior design correctly

Unlike the other rooms of a private house, the kitchen was and remains a fully functional room where they only spend time over a cup of tea, or the whole community sitting together for lunch. You have to spend quite a lot of time in the kitchen, cooking, storing food, dealing with dirty dishes, sometimes receive guests and friends visiting private property. A kitchen in a private home often replaces a living room or a place for evening gatherings. Therefore, owners often do privately for convenience separate entrance from the yard.

Therefore, specific special requirements are imposed on the interior of the kitchen and its design in a private home:

• First of all, they think about the location of the furniture and work area, only then “attach” the arrangement of the dining set - table and chairs. At the same time, you need to find your own personal solution on how to most conveniently arrange the furniture;
• The second stage is “fitting” into the interior household appliances. Despite the fact that there is always enough space in a private house, any housewife would prefer that, at a minimum, a refrigerator, oven and dishwasher were always at hand;
• The third stage is to select auxiliary interior details, methods of finishing the floor, walls, ceilings in a private house, designing a window opening and front door;
• At the end of the process of developing a kitchen interior, you should try to hide most of the secondary objects and details behind furniture facade. How less pipes, ventilation ducts, boxes, counters, necessary and unnecessary items appear in the interior, the more well-groomed the kitchen seems and a private house generally.

In addition, most of the planning will have to be done taking into account the actual size and layout of the room, the location of windows and the height of the ceilings of a private house. For example, for interior large kitchen in a private house, photo, high ceilings are vital.

And this requirement is extremely important to take into account when planning the ceiling height and the method of arranging the ceiling even at the stage of rough design of a private house. In some cases, it is necessary to artificially raise the ceiling or even change the ceiling to make the room more open. Otherwise large room kitchens can visually look dark and uncomfortable, like a basement.

The most interesting kitchen design ideas

If the new owners purchased a cottage or house standard project, most the best option The design of the room will be using the standard kitchen interior in a private house, photo.

Main advantage standard room cuisine is that the solution, in essence, is a win-win option. A classic kitchen interior for a private house was created professional designers and was repeatedly corrected and improved until it became the standard used for both apartments and private houses.

For a small kitchen of a private cottage or country house, you can use a simplified version of the interior and furnishings of the room.

But classical scheme kitchen interior has two significant drawbacks:

• Furnishings standard kitchen in a private house, photo, it looks quite cozy, but at the same time boring and non-individual;
• The second drawback is due to the fact that “classics” are difficult and uninteresting to use in a private house built according to an individual project.

Therefore, for new buildings or just a planned private house, it is best to try to choose your own version of the future interior kitchen area. The choice usually depends on the size of the private house and its purpose.

Kitchen interiors for country houses and cottages

Classical Vacation home or a dacha is somewhat different in layout and content from a private house used for year-round living; accordingly, there is a difference in interior design.

For small country-type households, the design of a small kitchen in a private house can be built around a window opening, front door or stove. For two-room apartments country houses For the summer type, the easiest way is to place the kitchen at the entrance to the house.

The interior of such a kitchen uses mainly wood, tongue and groove boards, wooden facade furniture set. Since the kitchen area is located at the entrance to the house, the finishing of the walls and ceiling is chosen to be the most resistant to dust and soot.

For very small buildings made of timber or logs, the design of a small kitchen in a private house is usually tied to the corner area of ​​the building. A very practical and thoughtful solution.

With this arrangement the heat that corner kitchen with a window in a private house it always generously supplies living spaces, will not escape through open doors, and the box of a small building will warm up from the inside. In addition, thanks to the presence of two windows, the interior of the room is modest, but quite practical and bright.

Most small private houses, no matter whether the building is winter or summer, are equipped by their owners with fireplaces and stoves. The design of a kitchen in a private house with a stove has its own specifics.

A wood-burning stone stove is always used as one of the internal walls; depending on the design of the stove facade, the interior of the kitchen is selected, most often it is eco or country style.

The idea of ​​a kitchen by the window in a private home remains one of the most popular planning themes. It is not necessary to turn your country house into a log house, which traditionally has small windows and little light.

The scheme of an ordinary aerated concrete private cottage with one, but very large window opening looks much more attractive. The design of a kitchen in a private house with a window can be simple and uncomplicated. There is no point in filling a place for a country holiday with everything that most people want to relax from outside the city. Whitewashed walls hanging shelves, the countertop and dining table made of solid oak make the interior environment extremely simple and comfortable.

Design of full-size kitchen spaces

In most cases, owners of one-and-a-half-story and two-story private cottages strive to equip the kitchen design in a private house, photo, in an open style. The interior of the kitchen is built the way we would like to see it in a city apartment, but for objective reasons it is impossible to make it that way.

Usually the kitchen space is increased to the maximum possible. The design of a large kitchen in a private house, photo, can be very different from generally accepted interior designs for kitchen spaces suburban buildings. Most often, owners of a private holiday home combine the kitchen and living room into one makeshift studio, creating a kind of kitchen-bedroom interior.

For example, give up an entire wing of the first floor for a kitchen space. Light walls and large windows in Scandinavian style create an interior with a huge amount free space. Small shelves, tabletop and ashlar wood decor to support country style in the interior of a huge kitchen, no more is required.

For country cottages smaller design small kitchen in a private house, photo, you can arrange it with a little trick:

One of the most commonly used attributes in kitchen interior design is considered to be small fireplaces or oven. If you don't build attic space And ceiling left open, then after the fireplace stove is built, the kitchen becomes like a hunting lodge.

For private chalet-style buildings, the first floor or part of it can be completely devoted to the arrangement of a kitchen-studio. In this case, the interior is formed in the style of timber structures.

The walls are finished with plaster and painted to match wooden frame, German windows necessarily in wooden frames, and most of the kitchen furniture is installed along the walls, freeing up space for the living room and recreation area.

Special cases of kitchen interior design in a house

The hardest thing is to choose the right one suitable option kitchens in the case when a private house has already been purchased, decorated, new owners have moved into the premises, and it is almost impossible to choose and redesign anything. But most owners still try to build a comfortable space and change the layout.

Small kitchens

Problem small room It is quite rare in a private house; usually, if there is a lack of usable space, the owners expand the space by adding a living room or even a bedroom. But at the dacha, the kitchen is always isolated, even the smallest one, but in its own corner with its own interior, furniture and stove, or it is arranged in a separate extension.

In this case, the interior of a small kitchen in a private house, photo, looks quite modest, the walls and ceiling are decorated with wallpaper, and the stove with furniture is squeezed into the farthest corner of the room.

If in a wooden building it is possible to win a corner and a space of 12-15 m2, then for a small kitchen you can design a fairly stylish interior with wall cladding with polyurethane bricks and a plastic ceiling.

Corner rooms

The corner location of the kitchen can be considered one of the most good options, there is more than enough space, there are windows and a separate exit to the courtyard. One example of the interior design of a kitchen with a corner location in the house is shown in the photo.

An undeniable advantage of the corner location can be considered the possibility of arranging two or more wide-format windows, and in some cases they add glass doors with access to the terrace or gazebo.

Good lighting allows you to use materials of any color and shade; thanks to sunlight, even the use of stone or tinted wood cladding will not turn the kitchen into a dark attic or basement.

Walk-through kitchens

One of the most popular schemes for constructing a kitchen space is the end-to-end or walk-through option. As a rule, the design of a walk-through kitchen in a private house, photo, must be coordinated with the location of the porch and back entrance.

An ordinary kitchen interior is not very suitable in this case, since almost always the design of a kitchen in a walk-through version of a kitchen in a private house is “tied” to the corridor structure of the room. Of all existing schemes kitchen layout, the walk-through scheme is considered the most unusual and at the same time the most practical:

• A kitchen space, stretched along one of the walls of a private building, reduces heat loss in winter and protects from heat in the summer months. Regardless of the chosen interior, such a kitchen is always cool due to drafts;
• A properly planned interior of the walk-through kitchen part of the house has greatest number windows than any other room, with the exception of the terrace or attic;
• Smells and warm air do not penetrate deep into the premises of the house, unless, of course, the kitchen itself is located at the entrance to the building.

Most often, a walk-through kitchen is almost a corridor, so the interior of the room is chosen accordingly, with arches at the entrance and exit, a furniture façade pressed against the walls, and a floor covering with a maximum wear resistance index. The intensity of traffic through the passage area is three to four times higher than even at the entrance to a private home, so usually the floor is either laminate or commercial linoleum.

Interior for large rooms

Owners of a private house can afford to build a kitchen of maximum size, especially if the building has several floors and there is no issue with free space. The first-class design of a large kitchen in a private home, as in all other cases, should be tied to design features building.

You can, of course, use the traditional approach and apartment interior, but in a large room such a design will not look very convincing.

First of all, when planning the interior of a large kitchen space, zoning should be carried out, that is, in a private room two-story house The work area and dining area should be allocated and separated.

The two parts of the kitchen space can be separated by decorative lamps, a bar counter, or even spaced at different levels.

Sometimes there are simply not enough interior details to fill the space of the room, and part of the territory has to be designed as a recreation area, and outer wall fill the buildings window openings V full height. This is not a flaw of a novice designer who incorrectly planned the interior of private apartments. Today, in fact, this is a new design standard - fewer details, more free space and light.

Of course, there is no need to try to turn the interior of the kitchen of a private house into something like a boring environment. office space. They live in large private houses large families, and the designer’s task is to build an interior that can create a certain mood of a living atmosphere.

Even if the premises have to be moved from the first floor to shape the appearance living rooms and sacrifice attic space.
