This image shows a modern compact kitchen in an urban apartment, not a country house as might have been assumed. This kitchen is an excellent example of Japanese minimalism and functionality within a limited space.
Particularly noteworthy is the use of a light color palette that visually expands the room. White walls and a light countertop by the window contrast with warm wooden elements — hanging cabinets, dining table, and chairs. This technique creates a balance between a cozy atmosphere and visual lightness.
An interesting solution is the open shelves above the working area, showcasing a collection of coffee and teapots, which adds individuality and character to the interior. This technique can also be used when designing the interior of a country house to display personal collections and create cozy accents.
The large window provides abundant natural light and a connection to the outside world, which is extremely important for small spaces. Placing the work area by the window is a very practical solution that makes everyday kitchen tasks more pleasant.
The compact-sized dining table with a wooden top emphasizes the practicality of the space. It's also interesting to note the use of low seating (cushions) on one side of the table — this references Eastern traditions and saves space.
Built-in appliances are harmoniously integrated into the interior, not disrupting the overall design code of the room. The refrigerator and other devices are functionally positioned, forming the proper working triangle in the kitchen.
