It's 2020, which means it's time to experiment, use new kitchen trends offered by the best designers. What surprises have the kitchen interior gurus prepared for us?

2020 motto: sustainability, simplicity, comfort.

This year it is not recommended to put the main emphasis on the kitchen set. Designers preferred to place accents on other interior details: an apron, floor or wall covering, and accessories. At the same time, the latter should be used at least, because the interior fashion of 2020 is spacious kitchens without unnecessary trifles.

The creation of any interior always requires a creative approach. Paying attention to modern kitchen trends, do not forget about your own desires and feelings. After all, the main thing is to achieve comfort in the space where the hostess stays the longest - in the kitchen.

2020 kitchen style

The trend of the coming 2020 is minimalism and environmental friendliness. Over the past few years, many companies have advocated using natural or recycled materials while caring for our planet as much as possible. Various ECO activists like Greta Thunberg are calling for the same.
The main requirement of a modern kitchen style is that the design should not be loaded with a lot of furniture and household appliances. A minimum of decor is what you need. For small kitchen this rule is most applicable - after all, the hostess, for sure, thinks about how to make a more spacious kitchen out of a small kitchen and protects every centimeter of space. Decor should be minimum, but unusual shape, using ECO-materials.

There are several styles for decorating the kitchen, suitable for the trend requirements of 2020:

• Eclecticism
• Eco style
• Art Deco
• Minimalism
• English style
• Classic
• Pop Art

Eclecticism

This is a combination of two or more styles that are not fully recreated, but only some decorative elements are used. To avoid overloading the interior, designers do not recommend combining more than three styles. Eclecticism - these are combinations of textures, patterns and shades. An interesting technique when creating an eclectic style is a combination of high cost and simplicity: for example, a sofa with gilding, an uncomplicated table, wooden chairs - in one kitchen.

Eco-style - the style of the future

Things from processed raw materials - the main trend of recent years.

A deep blue color with the addition of a green hue, emerald, gray with pearl tones, mustard, olive, dusty rose color suits eco-style. Deep tones can be used in combination with geometric and graphic prints. For 2020, everything related to the tropics is applicable as a pattern: jungle, parrots, plants.

Art Deco

Luxury is always in fashion and 2020 will be no exception. This style is becoming more and more popular, because luxury is not only a manifestation solvency, but also a sense of security, security, which is an emotional component trend in the interior. For the same reason, styles are popular. baroque and palace classics.

The art deco style loves the use of metallic, reflective surfaces on both wallpaper and furniture.

Minimalism

Based on the name of the style, pieces of furniture and decor in the interior there should be a minimum. This will allow increase space visually and functionally. Minimalism - an excellent choice for small or narrow kitchens, as well as for studio apartments.

In this style, geometric and laconic forms are preferred. The abundance of textiles, as well as the complexity of decoration, are not appropriate here. In terms of the number of shades in the kitchen, the best solution is 3 colors: neutral, calm, not bright. Appliances - only built-in, because any jumble of objects will make the kitchen "heavy". At the same time, do not forget about lightingwhich should be as good as possible.

A minimalist kitchen is perhaps the perfect kitchen of 2020. The design is fully consistent with the main trends of the year.

English style

This is a combination of the British style of decoration and classical techniques, conservatism and modern technology, aristocracy and practicality, classics and comfort. English style characterized by the use of natural materials (stone, wood, ceramics), artificially aged furniture, spacious dining area, bright lighting, the presence of accessories made of copper, bronze. At the same time, the kitchen set is made in the classic style of a simple, uncomplicated form.

The color palette is calm, more often light tones: light olive, blue, light gray. The color scheme should not include more than four shades. The English style is the presence of natural finishes, floral or plant prints, the use of wood.

The above photo is not the best example of current kitchen design. This design needs to be finalized: the checkered fabrics should be replaced with plain ones, the transparent facades should be closed with dull ones, and various trifles should be removed from view. The vase on the table should be left in splendid isolation.

Classic style

The classics will never go out of style. If you do not strive for bright experiments or you are a supporter of simplicity, rigor and constancy, classic style would be a great choice. Modern classics do not have pronounced conservative solutions, and the interior turns out to be spacious, calm - exactly what the inhabitants of megalopolises strive for.

The color scheme is light, pastel colors. The classic is most often a spacious dining area with a large dining table. In the decoration, preferably natural materials are used.

Pop Art

The characteristic features of this style are non-standard furniture, bright pictures, multicolor, an abundance of neon, acid colors, gloss, prints, hand-made decor. All this makes the interior cheerful and festive, creative and unusual. Pop art is a style that often combines elements of decor that are completely incompatible with each other.

Simple, inexpensive materials are used to create this style, so pop art is considered one of the most economical styles.

Colors

2020 invites us to move away from bright, eye-loading accents, as well as from the abundance of various accessories in the kitchen, at least in prominent places. The novelties include mainly noble deep shades:

• Neutral palette: sky blue, the color of fresh greenery, which are great for eco-style. They can be diluted with pleasant berry tones or bright yellow spots reminiscent of the gentle summer sun.
• Blue color is still in trend, especially its muted, calm shades - deep and complex.
• Ocher or persimmon color - fashionable for 2020, not very bright, warm, setting a shade for positive thinking.
• Shades gray perfect for the interior, especially light, light, faded options. Gray goes very well with woody texture.

• White - the main color of trendy minimalism. Despite the fact that it was the deep dark shades that took over the fashion of 2020, white is unlikely to ever go out of fashion, because it is a classic of the genre. In this case, it is not recommended to completely "immerse" the kitchen in a sterile white abyss - dilute with warmer, softer mint or olive shades.
• Gray-green - the absolute trend of the year. Such a pleasant shade was created to calm down, relieve from the bustle of the city. Gray-green is a deep, aristocratic shade that goes well with white.
• Pistachio or olive the shade is similar in tonality to the previous one, but slightly softer in terms of perception. Pastel shades of green or marsh color remain relevant, because they have been in fashion for the past few years.

From the above examples, it follows that the trendy colors of the kitchen are as close to natural ones as possible, capable of filling the interior with tranquility and comfort. In addition to the usual soft colors (terracotta, coral, calm yellow, the color “dusty rose”), a new color appeared in the new year - “pacifying dawn"Offered by an international paint and varnish brand DULUX. This is a pastel green shade that is perfect for the kitchen. And that is not all. Designers are betting on another great color - uncommitted. It is he who is given preference when choosing a shade for the interior of 2020. In the kitchen as well.

Kitchen set

Gloss is a thing of the past. And many designers will agree with this. Fingerprints on the glossy surface are pretty boring, and instead came matte facades of mostly dark shades, which we wrote about above. Also, the trend of 2020 is monotony.

The fashion of L-shaped headsets has been replaced by a linear one - all the same tribute to minimalism. From thick countertops manufacturers are also moving away. Thicker doesn't mean better. The materials produced today are so strong that there is no need to thicken them. At the same time, interest in natural stone countertops has been preserved.

The visual integrity of the façade is achieved by eliminating handles using a concealed door opening system. The handles do not pick up dirt or attract too much attention.

Three-level kitchens (or kitchens to the ceiling) are still in vogue. In such headsets above the upper hanging cabinets, an additional upper mezzanine level. This allows you to increase the functionality of the kitchen by unloading the lower cabinets from kitchen items that are rarely used in everyday life.

The depth of such cabinets is similar to the lower ones, but everything is done at the request of the client. A similar layout came to us from the Scandinavian countries and looks great in a spacious modern kitchen. This style is also great for studio apartments.

Wallpaper

The main trend of the kitchen in 2020 is the pursuit of environmental friendliness, mixing styles and simplicity. If you want to create a kitchen that is modern and unique, do not be afraid to experiment with the walls.
When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen, pay attention to soft, natural shades, delicate print, natural pure materials in the composition of the canvas. Do not try to combine styles within the same room, fashion trends are different, sometimes radically different. The fashionable design of the "clothes" of the kitchen walls is as follows:

• Gradient Wallpaper or ombre Is a smooth vertical color transition from light to dark. At the same time, there is no rule to start with dark colors at the floor and end with light ones at the ceiling. It all depends on your desire, needs, kitchen area and other parameters.
  The correct use of color and the transition from one shade to another visually enlarges the room, making the ceiling higher. In this case, the shade under the ceiling should be as light as possible, almost white. This method is preferable for small kitchens or with low ceilings.
  Gradient wallpapers bring a romantic mood, soothing and relaxing. Too dense and dark shades increase the psychological impact on a person.
• Wallpaper with effect metal surface or foil coated. In this version, it is better to cover all the walls of the kitchen with wallpaper, without an accent on one wall.
• 3D effect wallpaper or panel using high quality printing. As a rule, such wallpapers are intended to decorate one of the walls of the kitchen - to make it an accent. The main purpose of the volumetric image is to "revive" the room by placing a person inside the composition in order to feel like a part of nature. After all, the fashion trend of 2020 is tropical prints: large leaves, wild animals, parrots, etc.
• Monochrome wallpaper will emphasize the sophistication, sophistication of the interior. At the same time, a small bright accent in the form of a carpet, furniture, accessories is preferable, which will not overload the general perception of the kitchen.
• Colored canvases also the trend of the year. Recommended here are prints in the form of huge flowers or leaves, colorful animals or birds, a lot of greenery. saturated shades - this can be on wallpaper and even on lighting devices (for example, lamps or sconces in the form of wide leaves).

Materials (edit)

As already mentioned, the main trend of 2020 is natural, sustainable materials: wood or recycled materials. Anything can be made of wood: a kitchen set, chandelier, countertops, tables, chairs, etc. Most preferably, untreated wood, as well as made with a spray, "antique".

In addition to wood, glass is widely used, as well as metal (silver, brass), stone, marble. With the help of them you can zone space, to finish floors, walls, headsets, furniture.

One of the most important discoveries of the new kitchen design is the use of ethnic, Indian, African motives in the interior. Such a mixture of styles will be an incomparable highlight of the room.

Accessories / Household appliances

Space is in fashion, the simplicity of the interior, which is achieved built-in household appliances. You can build in anything: a microwave, oven, dishwasher and even a coffee machine. Large household appliances should be hidden in the headset, small ones should be put away in drawers or cupboards. The goal is to achieve minimalism so that the eye does not linger on the abundance of accessories and technology. And it will be easier to wipe the dust.

When using accessories, it is important not to play too much. It is necessary to make accents, but everything should be dosed and “tasty”, without excess. In recent years, facades without visible handles or with cut-in handles have become more and more popular. A kitchen without fittings, on the one hand, is more functional - dirt does not collect around them, and handles do not create any interference during cleaning, on the other hand, the interior is not visually overloaded with details.

For the decor, things are used all the same ECO materials: linen tablecloth or curtains, jute carpet on the floor, etc. In this case, a chandelier or sconce can be made, for example, from dry tropical plants.

Furniture

The trend of 2020 is furniture inconspicuous in the kitchen. Well, or in a minimum amount. Let the furniture be with a simple, monochromatic, not "flashy", flat surface. Despite this, in some kitchen styles, it is the furniture that can be made a slightly brighter accent, if the rest of the interior is made in calm, restrained, monochromatic colors.

Choose furniture from natural materials, the best option is wood. Reed weaving, solid wood will perfectly complement your kitchen. Furniture upholstery should also be made from environmentally friendly materials, for example, organic cotton, linen. For the kitchen, it is also good to use stain-resistant furniture coatings. Recently, it is gaining more and more popularity rattan furniture Is a material from the peeled and dried stems of the tropical plant calamus, or rattan.

The current arrangement of furniture - Island, if the kitchen area allows. Headset cabinets, where household appliances will be built in, are best lined up along the wall. This will maximize your indoor space.

Furniture of an unusual shape is also one of the trends of 2020: a table-sphere, wicker hanging swing chairs, bamboo rocking chairs, etc. This will add an exotic touch to the kitchen.

Curtains

Curtains - an integral part of the kitchen interior. Do not be dismissive of them. What does the 2020 fashion tell us? What new products are offered by leading manufacturers?

Laconic design is an absolute trend. Straight fabrics and tulle, light and medium density are in fashion again. At the same time, the length of the canvas is chosen by the owner, but 2020 offers its own fashion - a long curtain to the floor. Short canvases, layering, the use of lambrequins are a thing of the past.

An interesting fact is that the absence of curtains or tulle on the windows is also considered a complete interior. Here, many will breathe a sigh of relief, because curtains in the kitchen are not always a good option - their close location to the cooking area provides greasy stains on the fabric.

A small decor of simple plain curtains in the form of a thin braid with the edge of the canvas is allowed. Remember the motto of the year: the simpler, the better. Manufacturers have created a wide range of braids, varied in width, thickness, and pattern.

When choosing a fabric, only natural materials are considered, which are already classics: linen, cotton, silk. Unlike in previous years, current manufacturers offer 100% linen in fabrics, which can be thicker or thinner in thickness.

Perhaps the most unexpected trend in 2020 is wool. It is from it that curtains can be made, which, due to the print in a cage, look like a suit fabric. Especially profitable and rich (and it's not just about the cost of the material, which is really expensive) woolen curtains will look in the kitchen country style, english, classic, modern style.

Choose complex, unusual, deep tones by color. Gradient, which was mentioned above, can decorate not only walls, but also windows. In addition to plain materials, you can use a print, for example, in the style of the 60s. These are various geometric shapes: circles, polyhedrons, etc.

The curtains are still in fashion with the same tropical theme: prints with parrots, palms, wide leaves of plants, animals. A tropical-style Roman blind will be the highlight of your kitchen interior. Large flowers are also in trend, as well as lace fabric, canvases mesh - exactly those that were the decoration of the window in my grandmother's kitchen.

Street fabrics, created from special acrylic fiber, now you can find it not only on the street. Such fabrics are indispensable for modern kitchens: they repel dirt and water, are resistant to fading, are easy to clean, and do not lose color after washing.

Since sustainability is the fashion of recent years, manufacturers surprise us with their ingenuity in creating fabrics from recycled old clothes or loose yarn. In terms of quality, such canvases are not inferior to new ones, therefore more and more housewives prefer to see just such curtains on the kitchen windows.

Interior design is a creative approach focused exclusively on the desires of the owners of the kitchen. Sometimes fashion is not important, because you can't keep up with it. It is important to create a space in which you want to be, feel comfortable and safe.
