Unusual lighting ideas in a small-sized kitchen
The right light for a small kitchen, as high-quality cosmetics for a beautiful make-up. This is not only aesthetics in a small space, but also a way to visually expand it.
A small kitchen will become more voluminous thanks to the lighting inside the cabinets. Highlighting the transparent facades and shelves, you can achieve a very impressive result.
Instead of the traditional chandelier above the table, you can hang more original lamps. It is desirable that they give a soft light, change the brightness and the height of the lighting.

Maximum diffuse spot lighting is an excellent option for a compact kitchen, especially when the facades have glossy surfaces. So, the light effect doubles, thanks to the reflections reflected in the lamps.
A couple of original design projects of small kitchen in 2017
1. Patchwork - the basis of the design of a small kitchen
The main accents of the design of this small kitchen touched the walls and floor finishes. Bright colors are balanced by wood textures of kitchen panels.
Expressive contrasts became the basis of the wall, ceiling and floor decoration. The ceiling here is painted white, the walls are bright blue, the apron is made of French cement tiles in patchwork style. The colorful decor with simple ornamentation and charming drawings has become the central accent that attracts attention. This decision brings a touch of southern flavor to the interior.
The floor tile has a checkerboard pattern that harmoniously complements the bright patchwork. It is made of quartz sand, cement and marble powder.
Furniture sections in small-sized kitchens are rather non-standard. They were raised almost to the very ceiling to provide maximum storage space. Above the refrigerator is mounted additional mezzanine.
Excellent reception designers used for the kitchen facade. The horizontal arrangement of the "tree" bands visually expands the room.
Kitchen set was not the only place to store. The walls are also not empty in this compact kitchen.
2. Mini loft
This small kitchen of 4 square meters has an adjacent layout with a living room. As planned by the designer, the total space of a small apartment should be as open and free as possible. So the idea of planning a compact kitchen adjoining the bathroom with a glass partition was born. The transparent fence does not completely clutter the interior: both the kitchen and the bathroom are part of the free, open space.
The kitchen is square in shape and has more for parties and pleasant pastime at family dinners than for culinary experiments. Here, instead of the dining table, there is a spectacular bar counter with a noble base.
Not far from the kitchen itself, closer to the living room, there is a separate area with a nice coffee table where you can always have a snack or drink tea.
In the decoration of the kitchen, as in the living room, classical motifs of the loft style are used - natural wood texture and metal. Brick walls have become another bright textured accent.
Of course, looking at the glass partition between the bathroom and the kitchen, inevitably the question of privacy arises. But here, too, designers will have their own tricks: one has only to press a button on the remote, as the transparent glass becomes dull. This is a great example of using electrochromic glass. Moreover, such a fence has an additional function of illumination. In the evening, the light from the bathroom makes its way pleasantly illuminates both the kitchen and the living room.
