Walls
The wallpaper looks simple and tasteful in the interior of the kitchen, but in such a damp and hot room it is better to choose vinyl or acrylic canvas. They are thicker than paper, hide minor imperfections of the walls, easy to clean.
Light plaster is especially relevant in a number of styles - Provence, Country, Mediterranean, Moroccan. There are decorative mixtures with colored granules, glitter, mother of pearl, embossed plaster looks spectacular.

- Solid table top from sink to the hob looks more stylish, plus there are not a lot of seams where water, fat, dirt fall;
- Hanging cupboards for dishes it is more convenient to place directly above the sink or on the side;
- If the refrigerator is in the corner, it is better to turn it so that the door opens towards the wall, so it will take less space;
- Instead of chairs for decorating the dining area in the kitchen, you can choose a compact corner sofa - simply and with taste;
- When choosing an island type layout, keep in mind that there may not be enough space for a dinner table with a sofa or chairs;
- If you want to hide pipes from prying eyes, use add-ons for wall cabinets, panels will hide everything you need.
In a combined room, furniture can be used to separate functional areas. The easiest way is a bar counter, it is no less convenient to use light racks or a sofa, just turn it back to the kitchen. The variants of the design of a small kitchen, made simply and tastefully, can be seen in the selection of photos below.
Color spectrum
Colors can affect a person’s mood, including appetite. It is known that the blue gamma reduces it, but orange, yellow or green, on the contrary, increases it. In addition, too bright shades selected for the interior of the kitchen, over time, may begin to annoy. It is better to choose neutral colors as the main color - brown, beige, milky, silver-gray, pastel colors. And now it is easy to diversify the kitchen design with taste, just add more bright accessories.
In small kitchens, too many dark colors should not be used; they can be present only to emphasize particular outlines, to highlight details of the interior. It is necessary to avoid too large or bright ornaments, they will visually make the kitchen even smaller. If you want diversity, it is more appropriate to select more neutral patterns - a low-key strip, small ornament, wavy lines, etc.
With the help of color just change the proportions of the room. For example, an orange headset will seem massive, and the walls closer. Dark colors will help deepen niches, while light ones will expand the interior of a small kitchen. Choosing color combinations, you need to focus on the direction of the world, where the windows go. In the south, cold gamma is good, and warm colors with taste will look on the north side. Examples of the use of different colors in a simple kitchen interior are presented in the photo below.
Decor
For the design of the kitchen simply and tastefully there is no need to use a large number of decorative elements. On the contrary, the smaller, the better. The brightest interior items are curtains, as well as upholstered furniture. If the decoration is sustained in a neutral range, with the help of textiles you can easily refresh it. Selecting the color for curtains, you can focus on the upholstered furniture, wall covering or a large element of the decor - panels, wallpaper, etc. For windows you should not choose too dark and dense fabrics. In addition, all textile elements of the kitchen interior should be easily erased.
The decoration of the walls will serve as a photo in a stylish framework, modular paintings, panels or posters. The accent of the interior can be a bright apron with a mosaic, glass panels, colored tiles or mirror facing.
Diversify the simple interior of the kitchen is easy with the help of ordinary indoor plants. This decor option is particularly appropriate for eco, Scandinavian style, country or minimalism. How else can you bring individuality to the simple design of a small kitchen with the help of decor can be seen in the photo below.
