The novelty of interior design in 2017 is a large amount of greenery. Spicy herbs, fern, lawn grass and climbing plants must be present in every stylish kitchen. But instead of traditional window sills, flowers find the most unexpected places to live:

• Vertical green areas on the walls are a modern idea. The kitchen design photo shows niches with a green vertical carpet and warm lighting.

• In minimalist kitchens in an eco- and Scandinavian style, decorative arborvitae are in the center of the interior. The decoration of the flowerpots from round timber repeats the motif of the panel - panel on the wall.

Metal as the main material in a modern kitchen

On the other hand, the practicality of this material under such harsh conditions proves that such a kitchen will serve you for more than one year.

Trendy colors in 2017.

Two-tone kitchen cabinets

The combination of two colors for the facades of cabinets is far from new trendHowever, in 2017, it continues to be relevant. The combinations of colors can be different - a dark bottom and a light top, the main color is light and only a few cabinets are dark (for example, in the zone of the stove), etc.

Color blocks

This trend involves the use of several plain (not bright) colored facades in close proximity to each other. Often this method is used in a kitchen with a white set to compensate for the brightness of colors.

Muted color schemes

They can create a soothing atmosphere. There are many ways to implement this trend. However, gray and white seem to remain the most popular colors. This is especially true for kitchen cabinets.

Rose quartz and serenity

The trend of 2016, which does not cease to be relevant this year. Rose quartz e is pale pink, and serenity is pale blue. Both of these colors blend well with other kitchen trends.

Furniture selection - what to look for

Classic frame doors

This style of door is known for its traditional simplicity. Such facades resemble cabinet doors and will remain popular for many years.

Frameless doors

Frameless doors, also known as European doors, continue to be popular this season. Flat doors create a modern and light look.

Open shelves

Convenient access to objects, additional decor in the interior of the kitchen leave this trend popular for more than one season. In addition, open shelves look great in any style.

Functional Cabinets

Although the main trends focus on the design of the kitchen, this trend is aimed at functionality and usefulness. These cabinets facilitate access to storage areas for essential items. The proper use of the entire interior space of the cabinets increases the efficiency of the modern kitchen and makes the cooking process easy and convenient.

Home appliances for the kitchen 2017

Bright and colorful

Increasingly, in stores you can find household appliances not only black, white or silver, but red, blue and other bright colors. This is due to the fact that this is a trend in the design of the kitchen. Bright and colorful appliances can revive any kitchen interior in 2017.

Built-in appliances

Rose gold (or copper color) is a beautiful alternative for decorating both large and small appliances. This trend is also associated with the trend - finishing the kitchen with metal.

Each year, it makes adjustments to the already existing concept of kitchen design. In order to correspond to the present, it is worth paying attention to the main ideas of kitchen design 2017, which designers suggest paying special attention to. Take inspiration from the implemented projects of specialists, see examples of kitchen repairs in the photo.

Environmental friendliness

The most relevant trend of 2017 is environmental friendliness. The use of natural materials remains the main priority in fashionable design: bamboo floors, cork floors, formaldehyde-free furniture, water-based paints. And also in this direction include the "restoration of old furniture."

No, designers do not say at all that it is necessary to plunge into the abyss of gray. Neutral colors in the kitchen space make important accents such as a ceiling on a chandelier, a clock, and upholstery of chairs more attractive. In other words, neutral colors are recommended to be used as a blank canvas, on which each owner will be able to draw his own kitchen, which will definitely turn out to be exclusive, created according to his individual requirements.

Brushed Metals

This season, metal remains popular, as well as surfaces with a subdued sheen. Matte gold and silver will be the perfect choice for finishing wooden materials, accessories, lighting.

Maximum usable space usage

Even the smallest space, for example, between the stove and the headset, should be used for useful purposes. On sale you can find many interesting engineering solutions, thanks to which the space savings will be significant. These are withdrawable systems that allow access to the corner of the cabinet, and many types of suspensions for various kitchen utensils, from lids from pots to shovels and vegetable peelers.

Cabinets with inconspicuous handles

More recently, the use of door openers without handles was in vogue, however, the housewives did not appreciate such an innovation for the kitchen space. Invisible handles for cabinets - this is what will help preserve the beauty of the surface, and at the same time will not stand out too much against the background of facades. The handles can be an elongated groove hollowed in the facade and passing along it. There are options for inconspicuous handles, which more closely resemble an element of decor made of metal, although they themselves also have functional characteristics.

Kitchen islands and bar counters

Previously, only happy owners of large kitchen spaces could afford them. Later, consumers appreciated their indisputable advantage, because the bar counter can sometimes replace a full-fledged dining area, and at the same time takes up two times less space. A kitchen island is most often used as a work area. Psychologists say that this is how the hostess can fully immerse herself in the creative process of cooking. A good personal space on the kitchen island is the most important trend in kitchen design this year.

Wood trim

The tree has always been considered one of the most top materials  for decoration, but now this trend has received a fresh sound. It is important not only to use wood, it is important to choose material with small defects or flaws created by nature itself for the facade. Small notches, recesses, rings and a wave of wood structure - all this is an advantage, because it has magical powers. Contemplation of such facades can give a real psychological relaxation, which is so necessary for modern people. It is also important that touching such a facade is very pleasant, and tactile sensations play a considerable role in the kitchen, because this is the space where a person relaxes as much as possible and gains strength for new achievements.

Marble and its imitation

The design of countertops, walls, floors, and various accessories with marble is becoming popular. This year's trend is marble-painted surfaces.

Cabinets to the ceiling

This trend has two positive beginnings. Firstly, cabinets to the ceiling create additional storage space, which is never enough in the kitchen. This technique allows you to reduce the amount of occupied space. Secondly, shelves to the ceiling create a soaring effect. By the way, some designers even provided mounts for cabinets not only to the floor, but also to the ceiling, which makes the design very stable.

Compact storage

The current trend is the maximum use of space in cabinets, but at the same time, when buying new kitchen utensils, it is recommended to refuse to purchase and install additional storage systems. Often, everything can be placed already on the available area. Installing a pair of open shelves will solve this problem.

Quartz countertops

The use of stone in the kitchen space became fashionable several decades ago, however, marble and granite were the most popular. Today is the turning point when these stones are a thing of the past, and quartz, a composite material with many advantages, is replacing it. Firstly, it is not just durable, it is eternal, and can survive more than one generation of people in such a house. Even the fall of large objects is unlikely to lead to the formation of chips or cracks. Secondly, the treated quartz surface is incredibly beautiful, especially in the light. It seems like a lot of golden grains of sand fell inside the stone and shine through a layer of durable glass. Finally, quartz countertops can be of any color and shade, which creates more opportunities for using this material.

Simplicity and conciseness

From year to year, the aristocratic simplicity in the design of the kitchen remains relevant. The current trend is the maximum simplification of space, and laconicism here will be most welcome. The kitchen should not become a place for the generation of ideas; on the contrary, it should contribute to the purification of thoughts and soul. Everything should have a functional component under it, otherwise it is better to refuse these details in the kitchen. Of course, it is difficult to get rid of golden pens overnight, but changing everyone's chic multi-tiered chandelier to a more modern and laconic in design is quite within the power of everyone.

Wall decorations

Bright elements of decor can easily breathe in a good mood for your room. This can be done by adding interesting compositions that complement the wall.

Simple black stickers can complete the white kitchen style. This is one of the easiest ways to decorate a space.

The living area in the kitchen looks quite interesting, adding a piece of summer and aromas of greenery.

You can combine stickers of different colors to add newness to old colors.

Spice storage can be turned into a creative corner and make a bright decoration of the kitchen.

Lack of curtains

A kitchen is a room where the hostess sometimes makes processes dangerous to her health. Here vegetables and fruits are cut, products are fried in a hot pan, a kettle boils. All this can be dangerous and therefore requires close attention. Lighting is what can make a kitchen safer. Sources of artificial light, meanwhile, can not always help, because some people consider that the amount of light that comes from the street is sufficient. That is why you can in no case clutter the window sill. The absence of curtains can also help make the kitchen brighter. In addition, the hostess simply needs to periodically look out the window to change the focus of her gaze to prevent eye fatigue. It is important that the window looks decent. Perhaps this even requires changing the double-glazed windows. It is worth considering the lamination on the frames, which significantly changes the impression of the kitchen space.

Hardware

If just recently a chrome surface was used everywhere, as one of the most reliable and convenient to clean, today it has been replaced by more traditional materials. So, modern details for kitchens this year are created from nickel or tin. Yes, they do not have such an obvious brilliance, but they have some kind of magical power. Only here I want to recall historical facts and moments, as well as plunge into the abyss of memories of my own life. It is not surprising that short and long conversations in such a kitchen will become a very frequent occurrence.

Space expansion

Light colors, a minimum of furniture, a combination of rooms are the popular trends of this year.
