Contrasting color combinations
Here, the main favorites of designers are purple, pink, and violet.
Their combinations with bright yellow and blue are the most successful.

Eclecticism
Today, in 2020, designers, leaving white as the main background, are moving from minimalism to an eclectic interior. It best expresses the personality and temperament of a person.
The familiar and already popular Scandinavian, loft, high-tech are mixed with elements in the spirit of the 70s or 80s, post-war years.
The mix of colors, styles, times gives rise to modern kitchen interiors with elements of bourgeois and bohemianism.
The use of vintage elements in kitchen design is one of the main trends of 2018
Post-war modernism is already coming into fashion, but more “lively” and elegant. This style is distinguished by rigor, geometric shapes and boldness in the choice of color. The experiment with the choice of colors remains based on the same universal principle - no more than 3 colors, and on the ideas of color compatibility in the interior.

Dining area
It can be organized using a soft corner . It will provide the necessary comfort.
If the room has a bay window, then you can place a dining area in it, and it will fit perfectly there. While eating, you can admire the views from the window.
The use of such furniture allows you to harmoniously combine the kitchen and dining room in one room.
The design elements in the room echo each other and form a single composition.
In rooms of unusual shape, too elongated or small, it is necessary to use unusually shaped tables to rationalize the space. They distract attention from the overall appearance.
The bar counter is very often used as a replacement for a full-fledged dining area.
You can place high bar stools on one side and a soft sofa on the other.
The counter can be made multi-level, which will allow it to be used as a working or dining area, depending on the height.
A table by the window will highlight the space. In this place, the dining area will stand out effectively from the rest of the kitchen.
Using bright accents (for example, curtains or tablecloths) you can harmoniously emphasize the overall style of the room.
Dining in a separate room , zoned from one large room into several small ones, is possible thanks to the use of shelving, partitions or small cabinets as dividing elements. The following elements can also act as such: contrasting carpet, wall coverings, lighting fixtures.
Mirrors and draperies will also help decorate a poorly lit room , which will make it lighter and visually enlarge it.
Unity with nature
Using natural materials and creating a natural atmosphere, as in a Scandinavian interior, is no longer enough. Now this needs to be emphasized, brought into the cult, highlighted as much as possible.
The triumph of the eco style is coming, which is not yet so widespread, but is already gaining popularity in 2020.

Kitchen interior 2020: Ensemble of colors and materials
So, kitchen design in 2020 requires a careful approach to combining colors and materials. Let's look at the most trendy options.
- Use clever 2020 kitchen ideas to light up a space with a dark color scheme. Place glossy metallic materials and mirrors opposite each other. Make sure that they reflect artificial light. Such techniques not only make the kitchen airy and visually more spacious, but give it some stylish mystical aesthetics. The effect will vary depending on the color and warmth of the light.
- Metals, as well as their shades, are highly recommended! In kitchen design 2020, brass is becoming relevant not only for steampunk, country and loft styles, but also for any other. Its noble warm shade goes well with both dark and light tones.

Bright ornaments, abstract patterns
An apron with a bright ornament, an accent wall, or a rich and colorful print on the pillowcases of sofa cushions in the dining or living room area is bold, but original. Are you afraid of overdoing it? Make a white background.

Abstraction of any form is a difficult idea to implement for a non-professional. The simpler the other design, the better. After all, such a pattern will become the main and central element and should attract all attention to itself. Transfer the trend to photo wallpapers or paintings.

A private house allows you to show your imagination in design, not only in terms of placement of equipment, work space and dining area.
The choice of style is the component of the interior that makes the kitchen not only functional, but also soulful, breathing homely warmth.

Dark furniture
Dark gray, black in combination with metal and glass looks impressive, and in some cases even extravagant.
This interior is traditionally considered masculine. And not without reason. The dark range of shades gives the interior a brutal and austere atmosphere - just what you need for a bachelor’s kitchen design.
Kitchen shape: choosing a design
The kitchen of a private house is, for the most part, guaranteed spaciousness. To create a functional and comfortable interior, you should take into account the shape of the room.
Bright decor will enliven even the darkest room
The room can be of a familiar shape or have a non-standard layout.
Square is the best option
This form is one of the simplest and most convenient to design. Functionality and comfort with the correct shape of the room and a large area are not difficult to implement.
Functionality and comfort
The square shape allows you to position the furniture set even on three sides. In this case, the dining area can occupy the center of the room.
If it is more convenient to move it to a free wall, then you can use, for example, photo wallpaper, wood stylization, or use a contrasting background to decorate a vertical surface.
We place the furniture set on three sides
If the square kitchen in a private house is small, then it is better to place the work area furniture along one wall. In this case, you will have to take into account the location of the window.
When decorating walls with wallpaper, you can give freedom to your imagination - in a room of this shape, almost any wallpaper will look beautiful.
Don't be afraid to give free rein to your imagination
Dining furniture for this kitchen should preferably have a large comfortable table and equally comfortable chairs.
Narrow and long room: overcoming planning difficulties
A private house can be designed not only with a square kitchen, but also with a narrow one. This problem will have to be overcome with the help of a selected design. An important task is to visually expand the space.
A large dining table is very practical in the interior
For this, it is good to use light shades in the interior. Which style do you prefer? Provence is one of the best options if this style blends organically with the interior of the rest of the premises.
Provence is natural, gravitates towards light shades and gives the room a lightness that is so lacking in a long narrow space.
The light range of shades adds lightness
What else should I do? One of the requirements is not to clutter or weigh down the space.
Appliances and furniture should only be necessary. If there are lockers that are not particularly needed, we eliminate them.
It is very important not to clutter even a large room
Do you like to arrange souvenirs on shelves and hang pictures on the walls? They will also have to be abandoned.
We decorate the windows with attractive and always light curtains. Unfortunately, the dining area does not fit into the too narrow space of the kitchen.

Non-standard layout: shape dictates design
Unusual layouts require individual design. The design of such a kitchen must take into account the curves of the walls, the number and size of windows.
Each kitchen is individual, just like its owners
The set for a non-standard room design is selected according to specific parameters.
Cozy and handmade furniture
Soft sofas in the interior of the kitchen-living room, which you feel like you’re falling into, armchairs in the form of cocoons - everything was created to make a modern person feel as comfortable as possible, despite the fast pace of life.
The design of the furnishings is aimed at escaping from the bustle of the city.
Craft furniture making techniques will also soon be relevant. Now you can put handmade stools not only in the kitchen of a country house or cottage.
New items and fashionable materials
Majestic marble
A trend that will highlight your status
Chic and brilliance have long ceased to be signs of wealth, refined taste and exclusivity. The tackiness of the interior is more likely to irritate than to set you apart from the mass-produced crowd.
Minimalism in details and complete maximum in materials are a completely different matter.
In 2020, marble has become a truly iconic material for kitchen design.
And it should be used not just as tiny islands in the form of tabletops or aprons, but in a full-fledged, large-scale, majestic manner.
So that everyone who enters the kitchen can fully appreciate the deliciousness of this stone.
Harmonious tree
Get closer to nature!
Laconic shaker kitchens will be relevant, if not always, then for quite a long time.
But admit it honestly: we are all tired of excessive simplicity and practicality in the kitchen.
I want something special, non-standard, different.
And in 2020, this became truly possible thanks to the stunning wood patterns of the finest veneers!
underground concrete
For those who are against the system
Concrete has always been a building material, but certainly not a decorative one.
And that’s the beauty of it!
It looks so organic and unexpected in any style that it makes it the “new black” among finishing materials.
The most common options for using concrete in the kitchen interior are:
- table top
- apron
- kitchen island base
- wall covering
As they say, experiment - I don’t want to!
Square ceramics
Briefly about tiles
Well, since we’re talking about kitchen splashbacks, it’s worth saying right away that tiles for these purposes will never go out of fashion!
The question is which one.
The most fashionable tiles for finishing a kitchen apron in 2020 will be:
- square
- bright
- ceramic
- man-made
That is, the absolute opposite of last year's sleek snow-white aprons!
Square tiles can be used not only to create a kitchen backsplash, but also to decorate walls. However, due to the peculiarities of its shape, a too intrusive and frequent pattern is created on the walls. Therefore, if you have already chosen this option, try to use at least two types of wall decoration in the kitchen.
Fashion for kitchen-living rooms with elements of American style
The American style and its main features - a spacious kitchen with an island set - would be appropriate in a private home.
But apartment owners don’t want to give up their dreams either: in Khrushchev-era buildings they demolish the partition from the living room, in new buildings they order an open plan, they buy large studio apartments from 30 square meters.
Read about another trend - double sinks for the kitchen.
