The use of clear geometric lines and shapes allows you to create a strict structure of the correct form. The product from cubes and rectangles of bright colors looks spectacular. Moreover, the dimensions of the structural elements can be any. Concise execution involves the maximum simplification of the structure. 2015 trends exclude the use of stained-glass windows, decorative columns, cornices and other accessories.
Another popular trend has become eco-style. The desire to be closer to nature is manifested in all spheres of life of modern man. Most often this is expressed in the use of natural materials:
- tree;

- Decor from bamboo, textile, leather.
The ease of use hidden behind the massive facades has also become important. All storage systems, shelves and drawers are made available by mechanisms that easily open them.
Optimization of the room allowed the development of such manifestations of architectural thought as zoning of space and combining the kitchen with the living room, dining room or corridor. This is largely facilitated by the manufacture of more modern and efficient hoods. All these factors have left their mark on the formation of new features in the structure of kitchen furniture. For example, some sections in the cabinet may function as individual pieces of furniture. In this way, you can create the desired comfort while saving space.
Along with the development of trends in the use of straight lines and clear forms, a futuristic style continues to develop. Smooth streamlined forms betray the desire of modern man to quickly find himself in the cosmic future. In addition, the use of 3D-panels to create three-dimensional drawings on the body will make it possible to produce not just furniture, but a unique work of art.
Color variety makes it possible to choose the right option for any customer. In 2015, bright kitchen cabinets with wooden inserts will be relevant. Facades of pastel colors are combined with juicy interspersed with bright colors. Still more in demand will be more calm color schemes of natural shades.As decoration, materials are used that are as close as possible to natural in texture and shades. Simulations became popular:

A variety of bar counters and countertops in the design will allow you to effectively use every corner of such a kitchen. Light and thin countertops that do not burden furniture will become fashionable. Bar counters will be a popular element for more than one year. They are performed in different color variations and from various materials. Finishes and supports are also a large assortment.
In addition to closed storage systems, open shelves have become a frequent element. Modern designers felt that many decorative and simply aesthetically designed objects can take their places right in front of visitors.
Accessories for next year’s kitchen can also vary. Simple chrome handles can be replaced by exquisite copper products, which are no longer just functional elements, but art objects that deserve special attention. In addition, modern designs can do without pens. The structural features of the furniture make it possible to do without them, while supporting the general tendency to maintain maximum simplicity and ergonomics.
As regards technology, the main idea of the coming year is the reliable concealment of unused items. Even a flat sink and recessed faucets strive to maintain maximum space, without thereby compromising functionality. Manufacturers directed all their efforts to creating an optimally designed multimedia, electrical and technical network. Such equipment will allow you to control cooking not only directly on the hob, but also on a large centralized screen located on the facade of the kitchen. The most advanced models will allow you to control all processes using gadgets and access to the Internet.
From all of the above, we can conclude that the latest developments are aimed at maximizing the optimization of work processes in the kitchen, while maintaining the comfort and coziness created by proven styles and materials over the years.
