100 kitchen design ideas: modern classics - design projects in the photo

The arrangement of the kitchen space is the individual self-expression of each homeowner, which is closely associated with generally accepted signs of practicality, functionality and comfort. Gone are the days when it was believed that adherents of the “classic” style in the interior are conservatives who are not ready for vivid experiments and innovations in the color palette or interior decoration materials.

Classics will always be in demand, its popularity will never fade, because the classic style in the interior is the golden mean. Modern technologies affect the production of the latest building and finishing materials, the manufacture of furniture and decor items, the production of household appliances and accessories for the kitchen. But the demand for classics in interior design is constantly growing due to the fact that the modern classical style can very organically accept elements from other styles and adapt to modern technologies and innovations.

In the classic interior of the kitchen you will not find the coldness and some dryness of minimalism, the severity and inaccessibility of hi-tech or the arrogant elegance of the Empire style. Still, the classic in the interior implies the superiority of beauty, convenience and practicality over modern innovations.

But at the same time, the style is not devoid of eclecticism and involves the introduction of objects, color schemes or individual elements from other styles. The following selection of images of modern kitchens is devoted to just such integration into the classic style of kitchen space design.

Classic cuisine with Mediterranean elements

It’s easy to integrate the touches of the Mediterranean country into the classic kitchen design, because both styles are based on the concept of convenience and beauty of the environment. Differences are observed to a greater extent in the color palette, some Mediterranean motifs gravitate toward coldness, and the classic interior can be called an adherent of warm colors.

White and blue colors came to this interior in the style of a classic from the Greek country and was successfully implemented in a modern setting. Using wood to create worktops and a kitchen island countertops slightly “warmed up” the cool palette.

This snow-white kitchen with light patches of light turquoise in the palette creates a calming mood. Bleached ceiling boards and chairs made of light wood dilute the atmosphere of some coldness and sterility, giving the kitchen a cozy and comfortable character.

The bright design of the kitchen-dining room perfectly combines the classic look of kitchen cabinets with the Mediterranean influence on textiles and furniture and room decor. The combination of blue and snow-white becomes the highlight of this modern and incredibly optimistic room.

Reed bar stools bring an element of variety and surprise to the traditional surroundings of the kitchen area. The classic design of the kitchen unit is adjacent to the no less traditional design of the apron with brickwork tiles.

Two almost completely white kitchens are only slightly diluted with woody shades and a touch of azure in the decorative elements. But even these small things bring their charm to the general mood of the room.

The non-trivial design of this classic kitchen makes reference not only to Mediterranean motifs, but also to retro-style elements. Bright and full of contrasts. the interior is rich in many design finds. The unusual shape of the kitchen island and the quirky design of pendant lights above it - this ensemble cannot be called traditional, but it fits perfectly into the overall concept of retro classics.

The modern classic of the kitchen interior, combined with the living room and dining room, easily weaves the outline of the Mediterranean country, which brought not only wooden structures to the interior, but also a light interspersing of azure.

Traditional snow-white kitchen cabinets are only slightly diluted with the bright finish of the apron, the color of the adjacent wall and the color of the dishes, which is also part of the interior.

The interior of the kitchen, combining classic and modern

To dilute the traditional atmosphere of the kitchen, you can add elements from the Art Nouveau style to its design. They can appear in the decoration of furniture and lighting, the decoration of certain surfaces or in kitchen accessories.

Two or three outflows of the selected color palette, which are in contrast with each other, can not easily invigorate the atmosphere of space, but also give it a completely different look. Shiny or glass surfaces can add lightness and some eccentricity to a monochrome setting.

Several design techniques can transform the bright space of the kitchen with the help of modern elements. Whether it is pendant lights or unusual chairs, but the room is configured in a different way and acquires individuality.

This bright room of the kitchen is both unusually bright. With a minimum set of color solutions, it was possible to achieve a bright personality of the room for cooking and absorption of food. This happened not without the help of mirror surfaces of a large hood, pendant lamps and kitchen accessories. An interesting design of the kitchen island with wooden carved elements and designer stools with leather trim around it, became another drop in the sea of individuality of the interior.

There are several dark spots in this bright interior, contrasting in the overall setting. An interesting design of the hood, an unusual shape of the ceiling, the presence of a wine cabinet refrigerator in the kitchen, and designer chairs - all work in contrast and add personality and charm to the kitchen space.

The combination of dark gray and even black shades with a snow-white finish of traditional cuisine has become one of the favorite design techniques. Such simple but practical colors keep the overall atmosphere of the kitchen in good shape and create a festive mood.

We can say that the interior of this kitchen-dining room with incredibly high ceilings, is made in a progressive classic style. The traditional atmosphere sparkled with new facets through the use of the latest materials for decoration and manufacturing of furniture and decor.

You can add the elements of Art Nouveau to the finished interior of a traditional kitchen without violating the general concept. Bright furniture upholstery or designer lamps, deliberately noticeable household appliances - everything works to dilute the classic space, giving it a special charm and charm.

Art Nouveau in the design of a traditional kitchen space can manifest itself in the original design of a kitchen apron with brickwork, in shiny pendant lights and progressive design bar stools.

The glossy finish of the kitchen apron and work area, reflected in the surface of the island's stainless steel countertops, brings a little frivolity and gloss to the classic kitchen interior.

Gilded and bronze elements in the light palette of the kitchen space create an easy hint of luxury and prosperity, bringing the element of celebration into the general atmosphere of the room.

Traditional cuisine - timeless classic

We bring to your attention a selection of images of kitchen facilities with a traditional interior in its purest manifestation. The classic design of kitchen cabinets gives a sense of reliability, practicality and functionality, time-tested. The color palette experienced by millions of homeowners inspires confidence and creates an atmosphere of coziness and comfort. And the ergonomic arrangement of work surfaces and household appliances makes it possible to carry out kitchen work with pleasure.

But even the most traditional interiors are not alien to innovations and small deviations from unspoken rules, in the idea of decor or accessories for the kitchen space.

The spacious kitchen room allows you to place many storage systems for all the items needed in the working kitchen process. And modern household appliances, successfully integrated into the furniture ensemble, help to carry out routine work with joy.

But even within a small room, you can organize a kitchen area in a classic style with an interesting laconic design.

For example, this kitchen, which completely fits in a double-leaf cabinet and easily hides behind its doors, turning the kitchen space into a living room, needed exceptionally light shades for decoration. Only the chromed surfaces of household appliances and the unusual design of the apron dilute the snow-white idyll of the kitchenette.

Of course, the most traditional color used not only for surface finishing, but also for the production of furniture for classic kitchens, is white and all its shades. The light palette can not only visually expand the space, give it a peaceful and comfortable look, filled with freshness, but also become a wonderful background for bright elements. Utensils, textiles, kitchen accessories or lighting elements can enter with such contrasting touches.

A great alternative to using white, can be a pastel palette in the decoration and decor of the room. Neutral, whitened colors will become the guides to the cozy and relaxing atmosphere of the kitchen and dining room.

Sometimes a light finish of the kitchen is simply necessary to withstand the abundance of wood or other material with intense coloring.

But there are also designs of classic kitchens, made in a dark, rich color scheme. If the size of the room allows, then the use of dark wood for kitchen cabinets will be a hint of luxury and prestige in the arrangement of the kitchen space. And interesting decorative elements with glossy or shiny surfaces will add gloss and charm to the room.

The prevalence of dark shades in the interior of this kitchen did not make the room repulsive, thanks to the harmonious implementation of light and mirror surfaces. Against their background, deep, dark colors look most advantageous, giving the room luxury and style.

The design of this kitchen can hardly be called unambiguously dark or light, it is rather contrasting, filled with many interesting design finds. I would like to consider such a room for a long time and, of course, cook and eat food. A non-trivial approach to the manufacture of pendant lamps and stools, the bright design of the kitchen apron and the use of open shelves - everything in this interior works to create individuality.

Few country elements within the classic kitchen will be able to raise the level of comfort and attractiveness of the appearance of the room. The dining table and wooden benches are perfectly adapted to the traditional setting of modern cuisine. Elegant and weightless lamps above the table add lightness and freshness to the interior.

Small surfaces made in shades different from the main color palette give the room some variety and bring a positive attitude to the character of the kitchen space.

The dark shades of the kitchen island countertops and flooring have become a contrasting challenge to the snow-white surroundings of modern kitchens. An interesting design of pendant lamps added lightness and progressive chic to the room.

The original design of the kitchen apron with the help of textured ceramic tiles can be the highlight of the almost white space of the kitchen area.

The traditional design with light shades of vertical surfaces and the ceiling, as well as the kitchen storage system, is diluted with dark wood flooring and decorative elements made of steel, glass, as well as chrome objects and appliances.
