Ergonomic design

Each room, whether in the house or urban apartment, has a specific semantic load, which determines its internal content. The kitchen is a unique place in its kind, they boil food and passion here, fraudsuch tea with herbs and sounds peaceful conversation. Therefore, in search of practical finishing materials of the design of such a universal premises, you should not ignore the aesthetic component.

Such diverse kitchens: Is it always necessary to finish

Kitchens in an apartment in a standard panel building, a luxurious mansion or a village house, it happens, is so different as planning that finishing works sometimes reach the highest level of virtuosity. Imagine a room with an area of \u200b\u200b5 m2, the usual thing in Khrushchev / Maloshemka, in which you need to literally squeeze the necessary furniture and, at least, fit yourself, not to mention the households.

Choosing how to separate the room, the choice will most often in favor artificial coatings - they are easier natural and, most importantly, cheaper. And if the original style is conceived with a complaint about pompousness, then without fakes in a good sense, the word can not do.

In order to save precious space on a small area, it is not recommended to use:

• panels, lining, block house - material thickness + thickness of the crates of the crates shifted the walls of the kitchen for 4-5 centimeters;
• finishing material of dark shades or with large bright patterns, visually reducing space.

In a small kitchen of the cabinets, hinged cabinets / shelves become so popular that the walls of the wall remain almost no. But if such is located - it is usually a dining area and apron, it begins full ragings.

Much more opportunities when finishing the kitchen in cozy house in the village. Unlike urban, rustic cuisine has two undeniable advantages:

• any "natural" style (if you are Country Fanatic, Provence), supplemented with a magnificent view from the window, it will be appropriate here and natural;

• the room does not experience mechanical and psychological "overloads" when using massive materials - a natural stone, a monitored block house.

Finishing parameters

Regardless of the type of kitchen room - isolated this room, niche or studio, 2 zones contaminated with different intensity always stand out here:

• main walls - background for scenery: furniture, home appliances;
• the work area is a kind of altar, the place of cook sacred.

The question than to separate the walls in the kitchen is dictated by "climatic" conditions, which over time can be left in the literal sense of the word an indelible mark on furniture, finishing, human health:

• air humidity;
• couple / Chad;
• unstable temperature mode;
• oil splashes (oh, cutlets!);
• and Other, fucking, sticky, elastically jumping - whose traces need to rub, drag, roll.

The greatest load carrying a work zone, so it is selected convenient from a practical point of view smooth solid finishing material. But do not forget about the aesthetic component, because delicious food is preparing in a beautiful place.

Allocation of the dining area

Depending on the location dining area - Whether it is a separate dining room, or a compact corner in a small kitchen, the ideas of design are selected. Conditional division of the room into the territory of the kitchen itself and the place of meals is visually indicated by the contrasting / color coating.

Effect Effect Enhance:

• luminaires located in close proximity to the sitting;
• rug under the table;
• different types: rack, bar, decorative openwork;
• upholstery of furniture;
• flooring.

Assortment of finishing coatings

Stroyarkets are able to "apply" the abundance of the names of finishing coatings, I want to try everything! Therefore, it is difficult to solve what material it is possible to close the walls, it all depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the illumination and thickness of your wallet:

• tile - universal Materialwho has proven long before our era. Single, with a print, different shape, rough, smooth - it fits perfectly in any corner of the room, looks good on the facade of furniture / countertop;

• stone - traditionally rock / brick or artificial analogues are suitable for the working area, finishing external and inner corners, fragments of walls; perfectly combined with wood;

• brick - natural / glazed or painted is able to give home the charm of the "faded" design itself;

• riding options for finishing walls in the kitchen, you should not ignore the plaster: Coroed, Venetian - any, but preferably on the main walls. It is wonderful that it can always be repainted with buying new furniture;

• glass - triplex, stembut, Stalinitis, 40 to 60 mm thick. The degree of its decorativeness simply rolls: sandblasting drawings, painting, print, mirror, relief, different tones, fusing. Glass can be not only skinal, but also all the walls;

• plastic panels From the point of view of hygiene, they are good for their "immunity" to microbes, microclimate of the room, but there are two but - zone near the stove of taboi + fragility;

• MDF "sharpened" panels for any kind of finishes - stone, brick, ceramic tiles, etc., are used for wall decorations / apron. It is not recommended to be cleaned by abrasive detergents, have little plates;

• paint is water-emulsion. Its convincing pluses - moisture resistance, air and vapor permeability, lack of smell, is added unlimited color gamut, obtained by composing;

• granite - has excellent strength characteristics, witchcraft patterns, but depressing weighing and cost;

• as an idea, you can offer a mirror apron from tiles with facet - it looks elegant if you do not start cleaning;

• an alternative version - porcelain stoneware (glazed, matte, semi-polished), which is easier, and the price is lower;

• wallpaper: Vinyl and fiberglass (first can be, and the second you need to paint), extruded "duplex" with latex coating - all that can be cleaned with a wet sponge / cloth. It is advisable not to use work zone;

• wall panels for interior decoration Kitchens can be replaced with linden, alder, oak, cedar. Wooden walls will seem lured sunlightAnd it is so important in the gloomy autumn days.

Modern materials affect the imagination by the number of options, color palette, technical characteristics, with its imitation features. The latter allows noticeable to save - there is always the opportunity to choose, the better to replace the natural material.

By creating a basic finish and complementing it with appropriate accessories, you can get closer to your favorite style:

• lining / block house, stone, false beams, massive lamps - Country;

• blue / turquoise-painted lining, natural fabrics - Provence;

• plaster, Bao Armenian panels (more like a large room in a private house), Furniture on bent legs - Classic;

• white lining / plastic panels, chrome, housewalks - Scandinavian;

• brick (natural, painted, glazed), ascetic furniture - Loft;
• plastic panels / tile of any color, wrought elements, flowers - eclectic;

How to do to not do anything

In some cases, the walls can not be touched, but to leave in pristine or almost in pristine. This applies to houses from the bar - the wooden surface itself is gorgeous, alive, and kitchen room It looks like a fairy tale from pages. Extravagantly look brick walls of the cuisine in the style of loft - colorful, volumetric, maximum, what such a wall may need is a washing and cosmetic repairs.

Brous kitchen - Vulnerable

It is possible to infinity to sing the diminishers with wooden houses: the benefits of living in them, the environmentalities of building materials and other. But, the kitchen room is a place where the element of the fire is constantly present (at least high temperatures), water and multi-saturated vapors. It is necessary to think than to separate the walls in the kitchen to protect them from oily steam, annoying splashes of oil, bright juice.

IN wooden houses The only place desperately requiring the decoration will be the area of \u200b\u200bthe wall, which runs along the route between the hinged locker and the washing-apron-hob surface. In this case, it does not matter what the walls of the walls for the kitchen is better, the main thing is to mount Fallestin from moisture-resistant plasterboard.

Then you can paint it or stick it:

• tile
• a rock,
• mosaic
• washing wallpaper.

Wooden buildings for some time "suffer" by shrinkage, the design is attached to this feature. Metal profiles are rigidly attached only from below, and in other places with screws that are freely screwed into the longitudinal slits. The fastening elements are fixed on profiles too freely, then the G CLEB is hung.

Loft - minimum effort

A unique style that allows you to save money and nerves on the decoration of the walls, because the chip is precisely in the deliberate rudeness and the virgin roughness of concrete and brick walls. But if it wants to change, they are made quickly and exclusively with their own hands using painting.

Brick "loves" water (brick porosity 20 - 25%, and, for example, glass - 0), therefore, the work wall must be processed:

• shine
• wash off dirt with vinegar water;
• give dry;
• progress;
• covered water-dispersion paint / colorless stone varnish.

An interesting option to paint will be the effect old bliss. Manufacturing instructions: Dilute paint with water in a ratio of 1: 3 and almost casually apply a wide brush. Without waiting for complete drying to paint the secondary.

The kitchen in the apartment refers to the category of premises with increased requirements for finishing materials. High humidity And evaporation, a fatty raid, settling on the walls - all this needs to be borne in mind when you start repairing this room. If you have already planned stylish design Both the interior, it will be extremely disappointing when all the works will go to the Nammark because of the ever-evaporated surfaces or descended due to the humidity of the wallpaper, therefore the decoration of walls in the kitchen requires a serious approach.

Painting

Paint - the material is affordable, and therefore it is great for situations where old renovation No longer satisfied, and expensive new things are not for the pocket. Plus paints in the fact that in the presence of a good taste and developed artistic abilities, it can be achieved with its help, which are not available even using significantly more expensive materials.

Paint for walls in the kitchen should be moisture-resistant, you can familiarize yourself with the views of similar paint in our material on the decoration of the walls in the bathroom. We advise you to choose glossy paint types, because matte paint has an uneven invoice and its laundering from fat tax will turn into not the most pleasant occupation. Another minus painting may be irregularities of the walls to which it is applied, so you have to either conduct preparatory work, or to stop at another embodiment.

Wallpaper

Traditionally popular materials for finishing walls in the kitchen, and in any other room room. Normal wallpapers It is better not to use, otherwise you are waiting for a resistant smell in the room, and the moisture will negatively affect their durability. Another thing - vinyl wallpapersResistant to wet microclimate. They are easy to wash, just go through the detergent. PVC film, which is covered with wallpaper, protects the material from dirt, dust and other unwanted satellites of the kitchen room.

Another option is the wallpaper from Fliselin, they are strong enough, therefore successfully hide the shortcomings like the irregularities of the walls, they also pass the air and the walls breathe. Unlike other types of wallpaper, they are fireproof, which is also important in the cuisine. If you decide to break the wallpaper in the kitchen, but I want to use something more original than traditional ornaments, you can turn to the photo wallpaper, but they first should be treated with moisture-repellent coating.

Ceramic tile

Another popular finishing material from Soviet times. Previously, when repairing the kitchen, the Russians preferred to use it everywhere, but recently the tile is increasingly used exclusively for decorative purposes in the decoration working Wall in the kitchen - area kitchen Apron, preferring to paint or wake up the rest of the space. For apron, it is still worth using a special panel or a special apron, because the tile has seams, in which the dirt is clogged and laundering such a surface is extremely difficult.

Decorative plaster

Conquering increasingly popular finishing material for the kitchen. Its a big plus is the opportunity for modest money to achieve a very spectacular result. Such plaster has many species - on water based or on the contrary, anhydrous, with the addition of marble crumbs or lime, cylconic and silicate, and so on. Same decorative plaster For the walls of the kitchen, you can get from the usual putty with your own hands.

Such a solution can be an excellent option if you are on finishing from natural materials, but the price of them bite. To achieve excellent similarities with a real stone for decorative plaster will not be difficult. Considering that the putty of the walls in the kitchen is to you when using the majority of the materials described in the article, then why not immediately use the plaster as a final finish?

Plastic panels

Plastic panels have long won the hearts of Russians, but when using them for walls in the kitchen, you need to remember that they are easily flammable, and high in temperature of the kitchen can lead to their melting. But the PVC panels have high moisture resistance, and their cleaning is not difficult. If the panels are hidden engineering communications, such as wiring, then they will avoid residents from trouble - panels do not conduct a current.

To date, the PVC panels are presented in hundreds of colors and textures, and therefore you can choose the unique and most suitable exactly your kitchen option. Like decorative plaster, such panels succeeded in imitation of other, more expensive materials. Correctly mounted panels disguise the flaws of the walls, and they are easy to install. This material is not sufficiently resistant to mechanical damage, but it will not be difficult to replace one of the panels, and will not cost a whole state. Encrew the walls of the kitchen of PVC panels - excellent a budget option Finishes.

A rock

If you open a fashionable journal dedicated to the repair in the apartment, then you can see that modern ideas It is possible to finish with natural materials or visually alternatives. Great popularity has recently acquired decorative rock. It can be used as for solid wall decoration, then the atmosphere in the kitchen will remind medieval castle And it will be appropriate to organically add the space with the corresponding interior, for example, a hearth under the stove.

Another option is to use a stone as an accent on one of the zones, for example, around kitchen headset. Such material has many advantages, including low cost, simple departure or good combination with other materials. You can also use natural stone, but its price is more expensive, and care can cause difficulties, so if you do not use kitchen space As a place for holding solemn events, it is better to refrain.

MDF panels

The kitchen walls of the MDF panels becomes more and more popular in Russia every year. It is a very durable material, almost invulnerable to moisture and sharp temperature shifts. Malicious microorganisms and bacteria will also not be able to poison their nest in the finish from MDF. There are several varieties of MDF panels - lined with veneer or painted with resistant to chemical exposure dye. The main use of MDF panels is the manufacture of furniture facades, but as the main material for finishing, they also look amazing. Wall covering similar material perfectly hides unevenness, but we do not recommend using the MDF in the standard kitchens of Khrushchev, in a small space, they look like the panels too cumbersome.

Wood

If you are a tree finish, we recommend that you recommend to stop the choice on wooden lining, especially well this material looks like wall decoration in a private house. If you would like to separate the kitchen inexpensively, then the wooden lining, unfortunately, is unlikely to be a suitable material - it is very notable, but in the absence of such financial restrictions, it is practically no equal. Wood is environmentally safe, it remarkably regulates moisture in the room. Just if you decide to use the lining, then you will not have to break your head over how to level the walls in the kitchen - the material is attached pre-mounted frame. It is a bit eating space because in conditions small kitchen It is better not to use this material. Wood fills the room with a pleasant smell, but also a minus of the tree is predictable - it is easily lit.

How to choose the appropriate option

The choice of optimal material for finishing depends on the set of introductory. If you would like to do without modest costs, you disappear options with natural variants like wood and stone. If I would like to avoid preliminary work on the alignment of the walls, it is worth choosing the material that are attached to the framework, but in this case you lose part of the kitchen space.

The question is the better to separate the walls in the kitchen ultimately depends on the first of all from your taste, therefore it is not necessary to refuse the desired option if its implementation is less simple than, for example, a banal painting. But also forget that the kitchen is a specific room, and therefore demanding to the properties of materials, it is also not worth it.

Finishing the kitchen room with its own hands a more complex and responsible process than the repair of any other room. It is necessary to deal with the need to place plumbing, household electrical appliances, furniture, communications arrangement on a relatively small area. With your own hands, you fully fulfill such a volume of work, and even with high quality, it is quite difficult, but you can. It is necessary to take into account the diversity of finishing materials for the kitchen, consider various options for finishing the kitchen, as well as, explore the features and sequence of repair.

So, where to start repairing the kitchen?

• Cork floor. This is the most pleasant facial material. Moreover, it is considered the most eco-friendly and warm coating. The coating is extraordinarily useful to people who have problems with the spine. Cork does not absorb moisture and kitchen evaporation. It is stacked on a substrate from Feds or plywood. From above, the plug is covered with impregnation and layer of varnish. The disadvantages include the possibility of appearances of spots from dyes or fat, as well as low mechanical strength;

• Laminate. It is easily laid and distinguished by its strength. However, it is necessary to take into account not the high stability of the material to the fluids spilled on the floor. Finding into the joints between the laminate, the moisture gradually leads to the swelling of the plates;

• Parquet board or parquet. If you provide normal care for the wooden floor, then such a coating is capable of serving decades. However, wood does not move very well high humiditywhich can lead to its gradual damage and color change.

How to separate the walls in the kitchen?

Walls in the kitchen are usually susceptible to more intensive contamination. It is reasonable to use those wall coatingswhich can be easily laundered. It is recommended to use the following finishing materials for the kitchen:

How to separate the ceiling in the kitchen?

There are several options for design of the kitchen ceiling:

• Suspended ceiling, The main material of which is or moisture-resistant plasterboard. Plastic is not afraid of fat drops, steam and moisture, and care for it is practically required. Plasterboard is as good, it allows you to create even multi-level structures, but it requires a whitewash, which periodically needs to be updated. The overall disadvantage of such ceilings is the retreat of a ten centimeters from the draft ceiling. For apartments S. low ceilings it is important. But in the resulting interval you can hide all communications;

• Stretch ceiling. It practically does not take place under the ceiling, and the material PVC is not terrible evaporation, moisture and fat. The canvas is perfect in the case of contamination. Note the opportunity to choose not only the ceiling white color, but also any other hint and texture. The vulnerability of the canvas to acute subjects and the complexity of the installation with their own hands is the main disadvantages of the design;

• Ceiling tiles. Made of polystyrene foam, such a tile is the cheapest option for finishing the ceiling. Plates perfectly hide all ceiling defects. If necessary, quickly changes. But choose only the laminated tile, which is easily clean and is not so contaminated. The disadvantages include the need for frequent care and sensitivity to heat from incandescent bulbs.

Determine the sequence and begin repair

When you were determined with the choice of building materials, the kitchen finishing should be performed in a certain sequence that excludes returns to the previous stages and alteration of some detected flaws.

It is difficult to change the windows with your own hands if you are not a master in this area, so take care of the challenge of the measurer in advance. Note that the windows will be manufactured for about two weeks.

The door to the kitchen can be made from any material. This is a tree, and chipboard, and plastic.

Today to choose from what, and we bring to your attention the most popular options.

№1. Ceramic tile

Some more than a couple of dozen years ago, most cuisines were fully finished, and there is plenty of causes. Today the interior fashion has changed a bit, and ceramic tiles Increasingly, only the working area is separated. This material is, especially for that part of it, where all the cooking processes occur. The main advantages of ceramic tiles can be called:

• huge range, After all, the tile may differ in size, shape and type of surface. It can be glossy or embossed, matte or glossy, have any shade, pattern, ornament, imitate any material. In general, this is a real scope for fantasy;
• moisture resistance. The material is not amenable to moisture, does not absorb it, so for the kitchen, and especially for the working area, is ideal;
• low flammability;
• easy to carebecause all the dirt and particles of fat are easy to erase just a damp cloth, and if necessary, you can use and detergents. For the kitchen, it makes sense to select a tile with aa designation - a symbol of the fact that the material is steady tolerates the effect of aggressive substances;
