Kitchen elements (Part 1)
Depending on a way of life of owners the kitchen can play a different role in an interior of the modern house.
If the kitchen is not intended for the place of preparing food, it can be united both into the sitting room and a dining room. Such kitchen, for example, in the house of a bachelor or young childless family, can consist of a minimum of furniture, practically only from home appliances. This stylish small kitchen consists of the big refrigerator with branches for wine, a cooking surface and a sink. Racks for utensils (glass and plastic) and the small chrome plated serving trolley have rollers and they can move. In such kitchen the extract is not practically used and has the more likely function of the decorative shelf.
The absolutely different situation is when the kitchen is used on its direct purpose and to the full: it is a place of cooking for all family. In such kitchen there should be a lot of the various home devices and there should be enough furniture - all this should serve to the maximal convenience for cooking. Therefore - functionality, and from this point of view, kitchen is better to be isolated by the basic criteria of kitchen designing.
Modern kitchen is often the most “advanced” premise in the house, most of all sated by home devices. But even the most hi-tech equipment presently quickly enough becomes obsolete - in fact practically every year the techniques is updated, and it is necessary to be ready to that bought today washing or the dishwasher tomorrow will soon become outdated.
Therefore, maybe, also it is not necessary to select techniques only by a principle of innovations. It is meaningful, getting home appliances, to pay special attention not only on its characteristics, but also to think over, how much organically it will be entered in the general design decision of kitchen interior. Thus the style harmony, certainly, is better for observing; however there are interesting variants when the “hi-tech” equipment was implemented into the classical kitchen. Mixture of styles is quite risky, but the result can be very original.
But, aspiring to harmony of the style, it would be erroneous to consider, that the “conservative” kitchen in classical style or “retro” style cannot be well-equipped. The companies-manufacturers often do kitchen furniture under the individual order; therefore the techniques can be hidden behind wooden panels. The full sensation of kitchen in an ancient estate is created: the presence of modern home appliances can be guessed, but it can’t be seen.
