5. Top cabinets are not an axiom

Discard the tier of wall cabinets above the work surface. Such a solution will relieve space, bring in more light and air, and also highlight the apron brighter. In addition, it can, for example, be made part of the wall decoration - from the countertop to the ceiling.

It is necessary to keep the options for the upper tier to the maximum - for example, take care of the availability of wire baskets for drying in lower drawers and harmonious placement of the hood, which will no longer be built-in, but will become a full-fledged component interior. It can even be accentuated by using, for example, cylindrical models that are still trending.

You can complement the picture with a couple of open shelves, but make sure that they do not end up with all the dishes on them.

4. Convertible kitchen

The transforming furniture has made its way to kitchens. This is especially true for mini-studios, of which there are many on the market now. A foldable or retractable tabletop will help extend the work surface without taking up extra meters. This is especially true for small apartments.

You can also make a section of the countertop liftable - this will quickly hide the clutter in the kitchen in the event of an unexpected arrival of guests. Note that these designs use a collapsible mixer. In addition, all kitchen facades can be built into a niche and the kitchen work area can be placed behind the sliding or with swing doors, with the open version it is a full-fledged kitchen, and with the closed version - the wall panel.

Undoubtedly, such a smart kitchen will transform familiar cooking into a new experience.

3. Redefine your view of the apron

For example, you can interestingly beat the apron in an unusual way of laying out even budget tiles. So, from inexpensive mosaics of different shades, you can make not too complex, but spectacular patterns. And from tiles similar in tone and style - create a catchy apron in the spirit of patchwork.

A glass panel - both completely transparent and matte - can become a budgetary, but at the same time unusual solution for a modern style in the interior.

Or a stainless steel apron, such models also have a wide range of color options and the surface itself - for example, with a ripple effect on the water.

2. Smart owner - smart home

New technologies make our life easier. So why not integrate them into the kitchen space. Many have ceased to keep up with the development of technical progress, and meanwhile, hoods have long learned to independently analyze the intensity of steam or odor and adjust the power.

In daily use, a cutting board with built-in scales or a sink with a waste shredder, which has not yet taken root on the Russian market, can also come in handy. In addition, a large number of smart technology models have appeared, interaction with which can be built using a smartphone.

There are also smart countertops that allow you to charge your phone without the awkward plugs and cords running from them.

1. Don't forget the lighting

It is also impossible not to mention the importance of competent lighting, which will help create a special atmosphere in the kitchen. After all, it is here that many of us spend most of our time - for family breakfasts, lunches and dinners, heart-to-heart talks, and so on.

To do this, it is necessary to create several lighting scenarios in the kitchen: in particular, to highlight the work zone, install dimmable lamps above the dining table, which will allow you to adjust the degree lighting.
