Metal kitchen - stylish and modern look

If earlier metal kitchens were associated only with industrial design, today they have perfectly entered the home interior and at the same time look very stylish and modern. Metal is not only the strictness of lines and forms with the complete absence of any decor (industrial look), but also a stylish addition, especially in combination with wood, and even in the old-fashioned interior - an unusually spectacular and aristocratic sight. For the design of a modern interior, metal is also of considerable interest to designers, because, first of all, it has excellent performance characteristics. In addition, forged elements bring a certain charm and sophistication to the traditional kitchen interior.

Since it is well known that metal is recognized as a cold material, it is better to dilute it with something else, i.e. Do not use in the interior of the kitchen in its pure form, but only in combination with other materials.

The abundance of metal, of course, will create an urban interior, but it will deprive the room of the comfort and warmth necessary for everyone. Since metal is perfectly combined with other materials, both natural (wood, stone), and modern (plastic, glass), there are a lot of various options for combining. For example, to decorate a kitchen with a metallic sheen, you can apply:

• metal panels - most suitable for finishing the work area or for decoration in combination with other materials, often used in zoning to highlight accents;
• metal tile - usually used for finishing floors and walls, it is based on porcelain stoneware or cork (a lighter version), looks most impressive in combination with other ordinary tiles of any color, or in combination with brushed metal;
• metal mosaic - consists of metal pieces laid in the form of an original pattern or just a monolithic surface, it is usually used for wall decoration, a very convenient material for decorating hard-to-reach spots, it allows creating intricate unusual ornaments, it is not afraid of moisture;

• metal based on another metal - represents the latest material that allows you to apply metal coatings to any hard surfaces, namely, using a metal film of 0.5 - 2 mm thick, you can turn anything into a metal, whether it is wood, plastic or concrete, after applying the film, you can engrave, grind and polish, because the coating is very tight to the base - it allows you to make exclusive parts used to decorate the ceiling, walls, including to simulate antique bronze, copper

Today, there is a tendency to use metal finishes for work surfaces and facades of kitchen furniture.

This happens, firstly, because metal products are very durable and wear-resistant, and secondly, they are easy to clean and wash, dust also settles on them less. For the interior decoration of the kitchen, stainless steel is best suited, as she is very unpretentious in leaving and is not subject to corrosion. Surfaces are chrome plated or polished. Using reflective power, the area of ​​the room is visually increased. However, there are some disadvantages, namely, on such glossy surfaces, traces of even simple drops of water will be more noticeable, not to mention other things. In this connection, it is recommended to use sheet aluminum - a very simple and affordable option for everyone.

In general, it must be said that metal furniture is far from cheap, but, undoubtedly, has been made for centuries and looks very stylish.The design of the metal kitchen is perfect for styles such as high-tech, minimalism and loft, and can also be used in mixed styles.

Most often, metal in the interior of a kitchen is used as a coating for work surfaces, and not, in its entirety, but only in individual segments. Very often, a metal apron is formed with metal, which is very convenient to mount, easy to care for, and if necessary simply replaced. And the texture of the metal provides the ability to create various patterns. And metal is a very durable material, so, in fact, such an apron will be eternal.

The metal countertop looks original and besides, steel is shockproof and elastic material, which seems very convenient, for example, for beating meat. In addition, on such a countertop, without fear, you can put not just hot dishes, but even red-hot.

Also, metal can be made only individual fragments of the kitchen.

And you can make a steel edging, which will further emphasize its manufacturability. If it is desirable that there is more shine, then the facades themselves need to be made steel, fortunately, most models of household appliances are just presented in metal cases.

And the spotlights built into the lower part of the kitchen cabinets will give additional originality to the interior, as well as create bright highlights that contribute to a visual increase in space.
