The opinion of designers that a modern kitchen should be a symbiosis of decorative efficiency and functionality is unanimous. Think for yourself: will it be convenient to cook on it if the sink is located in one corner, the work surface is in another, and the gas stove is in the third? It follows that it is necessary to balance the placement of kitchen areas. Sink, countertop, stove and refrigerator should be arranged and form a kind of triangle.

It is difficult to imagine our kitchen without useful and familiar household appliances, such as:
- Microwave.
- Dishwasher.
- Hood.
- Breadmaker.
- Double boiler.
However, only the presence of the latest models of household appliances will not be able to make the interior of the kitchen modern, in which there is old, more than once outdated furniture with sagging facades and loose legs.
You can argue that you are short of money, you have a hard life - but no one says that you need to buy headsets that cost fabulous money. With a desire and imagination, for a very reasonable amount you can get a bright, beautiful, and most importantly, incredibly soulful interior. And believe me, you also have every opportunity for this. It remains only to brainstorm, putting together a designer puzzle, and you will surely be able to turn the familiar space of a standard kitchen into a pretty and comfortable one.

Modern kitchen interior: color and space solutions

In small quantities, these accessories will not disturb the harmony of the space, and will not look intrusive.
