With the "no dress code" from the comparability

Breaks in style or "mix and match" result from the combination of different designs that do not seem to go together due to their contradiction. In fashion, they are referred to as “no dress codes”. Anyone who uses breaks in style will get an exciting, individual and unmistakable ensemble that is second to none. For designers and furnishing professionals, breaks in style are a great opportunity to demonstrate their planning skills.

A break in style can be quite provocative. It is an ideal instrument for giving your home uniqueness, liveliness and dynamism. After all, a home should express the personality of its occupants - it is not necessarily harmonious, simple or linear and does not necessarily have to be in harmony with the architecture.

The skilful play with contrasts and breaks in style is what characterizes an individual furnishing style. A bit of country house style is added to the purism, round meets square, rough meets smooth. Architectural colors contrast with bright tones, making them a statement. Modern furnishing elements correspond with pieces of furniture from earlier eras.

As is so often the case in life, it is the right balance that counts with such combinations. Too few contrasts and a room can appear monotonous or sterile. Too many contrasts and the ambience appears restless or somehow untidy. As an important element for skilful breaks in style, the combination of different materials such as wood, stainless steel, metal, glass, ceramics or stone can definitely give rooms structure. Whether positioned accentuated or in zones, they give each room its own identity. Furniture in different designs is a good way to divide a room in just a few simple steps. Shelves and consoles can become room dividers through certain placements or define certain functional zones. Accentuated, they set a visual highlight.

Of course, contrasts and breaks in style can also be used through floors, wall colors, tiles, textiles or other accessories such as lamps and contribute to a completely unique furnishing style. Individuality is a trump card here, in the interest of the viewer.

How megatrends shape private interior design style

Mega trends such as urbanization, individualization, and New Work shape the modern furnishing of private households. The member companies of Küchenmeile have picked up on these trends and contribute to serving these mega trends individually through their diversity in material, color, surface, as well as technology and not least through their wide range of types and their size variance.

In the metropolises of the world, the demand for living space is growing due to urbanization. Rising property prices and rents, especially in new construction projects, contribute to the reduction of the per capita available living space. A consequence of this development are so-called open-space floor plans. They eliminate the separation between the kitchen and the living area in the interest of optimizing the available space. Instead, cross-functional plans are implemented. With thoughtful, multifunctional solutions and coordinated furnishings, storage space, functions and daily routines can be designed in a homely and individual manner in compact spaces.

Standard was yesterday - individuality is today

People's desire for individuality is also reflected in their furnishings. "Tailor-made" furniture, matched in material, color, surface structure and of course in the equipment to the respective room and the personal wishes and needs of the residents, correspond with an individual backdrop of the respective floor plan. All components contribute together to making the living space a place that reflects the personality and style of its residents.

People's lifestyles and work methods, and thus also their demand for their private environment, are becoming increasingly flexible. The overlap of work and private life is also reflected, among other things, in the integration of an individual home office. The range of services offered by the KM member companies supports experienced planners and designers in adapting every interior to the personal needs and tastes of their customers. This creates interior architecture and furniture that can be easily integrated into changing environments.

Consumers' awareness of sustainability has grown continuously in recent years. COVID-19 has increased awareness and commitment to sustainable products even further: kitchens and furniture are in demand in a timelessly modern design that you never tire of looking at and that meet the quality standards that guarantee their longevity: a task to which the members of the marketing association A 30 Küchenmeile eV have not just been committed since yesterday. They define the topic of sustainability as a holistic concept: This concept includes both the conscious, careful use of resources and low-emission production processes with the claim of their own

﻿To neutralize the CO2 footprint as far as possible and to use materials that have been tested for compatibility. The processed wood materials come from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources.

Modern design and timeless elegance, sustainably implemented, are representatives of contemporary culture and reflect the further development of living needs. This also applies to the kitchen: kitchen equipment must prove itself over many years of everyday use. As a long-term investment, it should therefore represent a symbiosis of design, function and ergonomics.Intelligent planning solutions tailored to the room or even room-spanning, in combination with individual interior design and organization systems, ensure maximum comfort and support the ergonomic handling of the furniture.

﻿The optimal use of the available storage space also contributes to simplifying the work processes. High-quality interior fittings, intelligent fittings and accessories significantly increase ease of use.

Living space is expensive and often scarce, especially in big cities. Added to this is the increasing number of single households worldwide. In Germany alone, based on 41.4 million households, they amount to almost half, 42 percent. In these cases, the living space and thus the square meters allotted to the kitchen are reduced accordingly. But depending on the layout of the room, even a small kitchen does not have to do without a cooking island if the island solution and dining area merge and thus become a practical and homely unit.

The kitchen furniture industry has always been concerned with the division of space, both in modern open space architecture and in the circumstances of existing buildings. The diverse range of colours, materials and types together with intelligent fitting variants of multifunctional equipment and accessories can be used by experienced kitchen specialists to implement functional and visually appealing design ideas and wishes.

The brighter the kitchen furnishings, the larger the room appears. This also applies to smooth, uninterrupted surfaces. But playing with open and closed areas also gives a kitchen that certain something. For example, glass inserts in hanging cabinets or wall shelf solutions in a wide variety of designs are not only multifunctional, but also loosen up the ambience and create cosiness. Colour, used to accentuate, makes the smallest kitchen the center of attention.

Space for accommodating crockery, pots or cooking utensils is often scarce in small kitchens. Therefore, walls prove to be ideal for housing storage solutions. From open shelves to floor-to-ceiling wall units to modified tall cabinets that also have space for one or the other electronic device. Incidentally, cabinets with sliding doors and spacious drawers are extremely practical, especially in small rooms. They offer an overview and quick access in one.

The minimum size for kitchens is between 8 and 10 square meters on average. However, only very few want to do without a small table or an attached counter. Here, too, the wide and varied range of types in the kitchen furniture industry offers components that meet individual requirements. Planning is particularly challenging in a single-room apartment, where the different living and functional zones flow into one another.

And last but not least, there is enough space on the balcony or a small terrace to cook and enjoy in the open air.﻿

The “Mix & Match” theme is still reflected in the interior design. The combination of colours, materials and surfaces gives room for creativity and individuality. This can be achieved particularly well in trendy open living, living and working areas. With blurring boundaries due to the lack of spatial demarcation of functional areas, there are new requirements for furnishings and interior design.

Living spaces are living spaces - their furnishings should be individual and perfectly tailored to their residents. From solitaire furniture and accessories to complete interior design concepts.

Open space solutions are part of modern architecture. The transitions between the individual living areas are fluid. Showcases with translucent, satined or tinted glass serve as homely accents, as do sideboards, highboards or shelves.

Today's variety of material, shape and color accommodates this individuality. In this way, traditional furniture, current color trends and modern accessories can be combined, which only together radiate warmth and comfort and create a feel-good atmosphere.

Natural materials and their replicas are suitable for every style: These include simple woods such as For example, the oak is still available in a multifaceted form of representation, in light, medium or darker nuances, as desired. The same applies to walnut, chestnut, cherry, palisander, teak or softwoods such as pine. Whether as a veneer or wood design, they are the ideal combination partner for timeless and extravagant plain decors in matt or high-gloss lacquer or plastic versions.

It is the game of contrasts to be discovered: light and shadow... ﻿

... smooth and rough. It is the composition of matt and high-gloss, light and dark, smooth or paneled front designs and decors as well as the combination of materials with smooth and striking surface structures that give the facility its character.

The current surface structures are the inspiration for materials such as wood and stone, such as the characteristic marble interpretations. Stainless steel impressions in a brushed or shiny finish or metals such as brass, copper, silver, bronze or zinc act as both a visual and functional highlight as a shelf, cabinet front, table top or handle profile. Ceramics and stone or concrete, cement and of course glass are no less versatile.

Choosing the furniture is only part of the furnishing process. The colors of walls and textiles should also be coordinated. Fabrics and carpets ensure better acoustics and an atmospheric feel-good ambience. The special thing about it is that a house or an apartment lives with and through its inhabitants, which makes every facility unique.

Open living space solutions form the basis for new interior design furnishing solutions. Depending on your personal taste, rooms can merge together in monochrome or be individually structured and divided by the environment or furniture combined in a high-contrast color and material and appropriate lighting.

Clear forms, monochrome and maximum textures versus color and material mix. In line with the trend towards individualisation, every personal style can now be realized in the furnishing. Almost every piece of furniture can be adapted to personal taste: material, colour, base feet and frames - everything is freely selectable and in a wide variety of designs. Today, you can even decide for yourself whether it's the interior of the cabinet or the lighting. True to the motto: "In" is what personally pleases. The kitchen is the central element for presenting a wide variety of tastes and styles, which can be used both in open living spaces and in closed room solutions.

Urbanisation, life in a big city, awakens a longing for nature in people, which is reflected in the choice of materials such as wood, stone or ceramics and in warm, homely colors - whether in light Scandinavian design or Italian design , which is characterized by its darker colors and materials.

Thanks to the high level of multi-faceted lacquer competence, all color combinations are possible, starting with the architectural colors white, gray and black, through earthy natural tones in different shades to color compositions by Le Corbusier. The trend is mainly determined by matt finishes. They form a harmonious symbiosis with noble marble and ceramic variants. When rooms merge, wood, mostly in darker shades, creates a homely atmosphere.

Whether as a cozy soloist, an integrative accent or to design the transition to the dining or living area: shelves and showcases with a wide variety of glass designs cut a fine figure in every room. This diversity is also made possible by metal frame fronts, natural, in black or aluminum design. In combination with different vertical sliding door elements, they are not only suitable for sideboards that can be used across rooms or as an addition to the new shelving systems that create structure and ambience with open and closed components, they are also ideal as room dividers. Not to forget the pocket doors, behind which electronic devices and storage space are hidden. They turn every tall cabinet into an integrative piece of furniture.

Every kitchen, every room-encompassing interior design, is a reference for the diversity, variance and flexibility of the kitchen furniture industry as well as for the creative skill and know-how of the planner.

The unique aura of a room only unfolds through the individual furnishing, tailored to the needs of the people who live there. State-of-the-art production technologies in combination with the technical expertise of the German kitchen furniture industry make it possible to give this individuality the appropriate substance.

The modern open space architecture calls for cross-functional structures that come to fruition through a skilful mix of materials, surfaces and practical technical equipment features in well thought-out planning.

In a room in which the kitchen, dining and living area merge into one another, the floor plan only determines the interior design to a limited extent. Only in symbiosis with the furnishing planning does a holistic design result. Walls and furniture merge together and form a handleless, homogeneous unit. The kitchen island, whether monochrome or in symbiosis with contrasting materials such as wood, ceramics, stone, metal, glass and polymer glass variants, is functional and communicative – but by no means the only piece of solitaire furniture.

Solitaires are both a visual highlight and an integral part of an interior design, room-spanning furnishing concept.

For manufacturers, this means the challenge of creating furniture that can be harmoniously integrated into the living space, is practical and – if desired – plays a key role as a design object.

Room-in-room solutions separate functional zones such as the utility room, home office or cloakroom from the living area.

Cupboard units integrated into the drywall not only hold the supplies, but also offer sufficient space for accommodating household appliances, which can be hidden behind floor-to-ceiling pocket doors.﻿

Depending on the layout and size of the room, add-on tables and counters serve as a bridge between the kitchen and living area. Slide-in door and glass showcase cabinets as well as extensions of the fronts to the floor underline the homely demands of modern kitchen and living room planning, as do functional wall panels, shelves and sideboards.

AS BEAUTIFUL AND INDIVIDUAL INSIDE AS OUTSIDE

Individually adaptable to the needs of the user, practical and durable - properties that not only make up the furnishing planning itself but also the interior design of the furniture. Today, kitchen furniture is at least as visually appealing on the inside as it is on the outside. As soon as you open the cupboard doors, the demands of modern furniture become apparent. Whether inside and outside the same decor or noble anthracite with dark front variants or clear white with lighter kitchen designs.

Smart ideas, intelligent pull-out and fitting technology that offer a high degree of convenience ensure a perfect overview of the stored goods and easy access. In combination with pull-out shelves, swivel arms, lifts, hanging devices, boxes, shelves, baskets, holders and dividers for stacks of plates, glasses and cups, cutlery and accessories, cupboard interiors can be equipped in a way that is both functional and useful as well as aesthetic.

Excerpts with a very personal handwriting

A wide variety of design profiles, inlays made of glass, metal, etc., designs with LED light that can be clipped on and flexibly combinable organizational systems: pull-outs can now be designed completely individually, whether with the same decor or translucent fronts, they enable a skilful play with exciting contrasts.

Cutlery and utensil inserts, in which spices or foil dispensers can also be accommodated, can be flexibly equipped using individual divider systems in different wood designs, metal or plastic. Cushioning anti-slip mats made of felt, cork, flock or cotton ensure that the contents of the pull-out always stay in place each time you open or close it.

For example, pull-out cabinets, in which pots and pans can be accommodated as well as crockery and supplies of all kinds, create order in high, wall and base cabinets or in the corner.

Toaster, food slicer, Thermomix or juicer: devices that are not necessarily used every day often take up valuable space on the worktop. Functional hardware technology helps to house them in such a way that they only appear visually when needed. This creates valuable space and supports the homely ambience of a kitchen.

Organic waste, recyclable materials, residual waste, paper - there are many different types of waste that must be disposed of properly. The various waste separation systems, adapted to the size of the household, the design of the kitchen, but above all to the individual requirements and needs of their users, are continuously being further developed by the industry and are gaining a different status, especially today in the age of sustainability.
