Glossy metal, mostly stainless steel, another popular material in the atmosphere. It can be seen not only as legs for chairs, but the design of the chandelier. The color palette of the furniture is very diverse, and a preference for peaceful shades of ash, light-brown, grayish-blue. However, the widespread and bright designs, the main thing – to observe moderation and to extinguish the rich colors blend with the pale background. The decision to place the kitchen in white color is permissible in this case to dilute «sterility» situation recommended a few bright elements of the decor.
To organize functional interior helps correct the shape of the furniture. There is no fundamental classics and original negligence of the country. The tables and chairs are inherent in simple and strict forms, without «screaming» elements. Perfectly acceptable look plastic chairs. Popular material for making furniture MDF and plastic, providing a glossy surface of the facade. Often equipped with non-traditional door handles and hidden mechanism that opens the boxes with the clicker. However, such detail in the kitchen is not practical, causing rapid contamination of shiny surfaces. Cabinet doors are made of frosted or transparent glass, to pick up the stained glass window, clearly following the traditions of modernism, is extremely problematic.

The lack of lighting kompensiruet uniform distribution of artificial sources. The lights in the kitchen are not only on the ceiling and walls, also the modern style practised outdoor or embedded in the base of furniture light sources.
Tiered ceilings in the kitchen, consistent with the principles of art Nouveau, assume in addition to the lamps, additional illumination, providing ambient lighting of the interior. Even if the height does not allow to use complex structures, the light should be plenty and not necessarily with the same intensity. The shape and color of the lamps provides space for imagination. Minor limitations of the art Nouveau style are the lack of poisonous colors and sharp corners. The smooth lines of the lampshades and ceiling of the original shape and calm shades – the most organic choice for kitchen design, assuming compliance with the art Nouveau style. Imitation flowers, branches and leaves in the design of lighting should not interfere with quality cleaning, so it is important not to overdo it during the formation of the interior of the kitchen.

The material used for the manufacture of synthetic for easy cleaning, and washing. Designers recommend to pay attention to the interior design with its Roman and roller blinds, traditional blinds or curtains, pleated.
The extra decor and accessories for the kitchen, decorated in art Nouveau style, is misplaced. The interior will blend modern watch or a beautiful vase in a simple form. Bright accent can be a bowl of fruit. The modern style involves a set of minimum textiles including apron, oven mitts and towels from tablecloths should be abandoned and replace it with support tissues. That is a certain asceticism of the interior of the kitchen will allow you to fully enjoy the functionality of modern style, without losing individuality and elegance.
