Three-Tier Kitchen: 6 Popular Styles (Kitchen Design)

Do you remember the time when the hanging cabinet kitchen set our mothers and grandmothers installed beautiful dishes and other utensils: pots, cans, flower vases, jugs??? As the years passed, minimalism entered the kitchen of Russian families. All unnecessary “beautiful riches” were removed from the eyes, leaving empty spaces. Everything changes: people, fashion, opinions, tastes.
Now this empty space is being replaced by mezzanines fixed to the ceiling and other additional cabinets. This multifunctional version of the kitchen set fell in love with a large number of housewives. Taking into account the fact that recently a three-level kitchen is a trend, manufacturers offer a huge selection of them.

The three-level kitchen is an additional mezzanine built into the upper hanging cabinet. Most often, an additional cabinet has a greater depth, or similar to the rest. In this case, there are two options for coloring the facade of the kitchen under the ceiling: both levels are in tone or in two colors, one of which is more often under natural wood.

Advantages of a kitchen under the ceiling

• WITH small kitchen there is always one problem: where to distribute all the dishes? Additional boxes under the ceiling will be an excellent solution to this issue. You can send different things there: from containers to small household appliances used in the household quite rarely.
• If you have a headset with high top cabinets the room visually increases, which is also important for small kitchens.
• If you are a happy owner of a large kitchen, the headset up to the ceiling is visually represented as a wall, without attracting attention to itself. In this case, the cooking zone will be located in the center of the room. Taking into account trend of 2020, if the headset has no pattern, no fittings, no glass and other attributes, your “wall” will definitely go unnoticed. One can only guess how many dishes and other little things are hidden in it.
• If there is no space between the upper mezzanine and the ceiling (for example, the gap is sealed with a ceiling baguette), then you do not have to deal with dust, wiping it in this hard-to-reach hostess location.
• Oddly enough, but when choosing a three-level headset, you can save... on wall decoration. You do not have to spend money on expensive wallpapers, which, in principle, will not be visible if you have a headset on the entire wall.

Disadvantages of a kitchen under the ceiling

• In order for three-level kitchens to look great indoors, the ceilings must be perfectly flat. Even the smallest discrepancy in the gap will be very noticeable. In this case, you can consider 2 options: we glue the ceiling molding or we make the perfect ceiling, for example, from drywall. At the same time, there is another difficult task - to find a master who will make your ceiling really perfect.
• Three-tier kitchens are understandably more expensive. There are a lot of consumables, a lot of additional boxes. The result of the work will directly affect the cost of the goods.
• Most often, people prefer to put away in distant drawers what they rarely use. Or they don't use it at all. In this case, the question arises: do we need things that we have not used for years? Of course, it’s a pity to throw away grandmother’s can or mother’s jug. But most things really don't belong in our apartment. So why litter it? If you get rid of the excess, high mezzanines will turn out to be empty, unnecessary.
• If the upper drawers of the three-level headset are made deeper, then this option will not work at all for a small kitchen. Visually, such a set will "crush" and heap up the kitchen as a whole.
• In order to get to the things “hidden” in the upper mezzanine, you will need tall furniture or fixtures. For example, a stepladder. Such a “helper” will have to be removed after each of his work. In the case of a tall stool, the main thing is not to fall off it. There is something to think about.

A set in three levels is made to order with any requirements. Remember that cabinets can be of 2 types:

• Vertical. This option is good in a kitchen with low ceilings, because vertically elongated cabinets visually "stretch" the room.
• Horizontal. Has a similar visual effect, but in width. This option will increase the space of a small room. It is also suitable for corner kitchen.

Color and style of a three-tier kitchen

To emphasize the uniqueness and grace of the kitchen, before ordering a set, you need to think about the desired color and style. According to the trend of recent years, environmental friendliness, unity with nature, tranquility and harmony are all that a person needs in a modern hectic world. Dinner in a relaxed atmosphere should calm and relax the host.

Designers and psychologists have come to a consensus that warm, deep, matte colors, laconic and uncomplicated design have a great effect on the human psyche. As well as the accuracy of the geometry of the kitchen set. At the same time, trendy drawings of a tropical theme can act as an addition: evergreen leaves of the tropics, parrots, etc.

High tech

Clarity of geometry and shapes, the latest materials, maximum lightingsmooth surface is all about high tech style. In such a kitchen, the facades should be calm, monochromatic tones, from deep gray to languid, foggy. For mood, you can add any bright accent in the form of a color household appliances or furniture.

Modern

Modern kitchen implies the rational use of all corners of the room. Modern is an absolutely urban style that excludes the complexity and intricacy of forms. Such headsets are designed to emphasize the laconicism and impeccable simplicity of space. Nothing extra. Only comfort and a minimum of decor, because the basis of style is its functionality.

Classic style

Classics will never go out of style by definition. Classics are beauty, severity of lines and colors, elegance and large space. Unfortunately, in a small kitchen, it will be difficult for the wide soul of a classic headset to open up. Classic headset - these are light, restrained tones, from pure white to cream and pale blue.

Eco style

This style has become firmly established in the life of a person who cares about nature. After all, unity with nature in a huge city is priceless. Environmental friendliness, simplicity and convenience are the foundation of modern three-level kitchens.

Eco-style facade is the use of natural material. Color from pale blue, light shades of green to deep blue. As a complement, use natural things in the decor, such as linen curtains or tablecloth, jute carpet, etc.

Provence

What can be associated with a southern French village nestled in endless flowering lavender fields? Such kitchens are enveloped in warmth, comfort and care. In a three-tiered kitchen Provence style the upper mezzanines are often made open, placing cute little things on them, reminiscent of the carefree village life.

Minimalism

2020 is marked not only by the year of ecology and simplicity in kitchen design, but also minimalism. Pileup, heavier perception, excessive decor - let's leave all this for a new fashion loop that will return to our lives in a few years. Now is the time to relax, because our home is our fortress, a place to restore the psyche and physical strength.

Minimalism does not tolerate bright colors and an abundance of prints. Minimalism is the monotony of facades made in a calm palette. All household appliances - built-in and is not visible to the eye. Clarity of lines and simplicity. This style will be a good option for a small kitchen.

Types of mezzanines for the ceiling

When choosing a mezzanine, it is necessary to take into account some facts: the height of the ceiling in the kitchen, natural and artificial lighting, the size of the room, style and even facade color. Oddly enough, everything matters. So, mezzanines can be made in the following versions:

• Closed. In this case, the cabinets under the ceiling will function as a "storage" for rarely used things, while its filling will not be visible to prying eyes. In the absence of fittings, which is typical for a modern headset, and the depth of the box is no more than a suspended one, the mezzanine will practically not be noticeable. Do not forget that the opening method doors you can order any: vertical, horizontal, lifting folding, automatic vertical lifting.
• Glass. Glass is designed to slightly “unload” the space due to its transparency. Despite its fragile appearance, it is quite durable, because its hardening is the basis of production. Now it is even difficult to surprise someone with a beautiful, but reliable and safe glass top.
• Open. In this case, it will not be possible to "litter" the upper part of the kitchen unit, because all things will be there in plain sight. Here the space is filled to the taste of the hostess: collectible plates, ceramic elephants or just dishes.
• Combined. In this case, there is no need to “rack your brains” which box to order, open or closed. You can allow yourself to dream a little and create your own, unique kitchen set, in which little things will be hidden, and beautiful and memorable ones will be displayed. Combined cabinets of a three-level headset are shown in the real photo below.

Kitchens under the ceiling, with an additional mezzanine, will provide additional storage space. Everyone decides for himself how much tall cabinets are needed in the room. Fashion cannot be kept up, and it does not always "sing" in unison with our desires and possibilities. The main thing is to create that kitchen in which the soul and body will rest.
