5 solutions that make the kitchen more beautiful and practical


With intelligent and very well executed solutions the environment, considered one of the most important in the house, is completely transformed!

Architecture and decoration help to make the most of kitchens, especially those with small square footage. Expert and creative, the architects Claudia Yamada and Monike Lafuente, responsible for the Tangram Study, shows 5 ideas to make the kitchen more beautiful. Let the projects inspire you!

1. Fruit bowl in woodworking drawers




How about a special place in the kitchen where you can store, in a very practical and safe way, fruit and vegetables that are not ready or that do not need to go in the refrigerator? Fruit trees They are always a dilemma because, in many cases, they take up space and their size gets in the way. Not to mention that, because they are suffocating, they can accelerate the maturation or shelf life of foods.

For these factors, the duo from Studio Tan-gram is enthusiastic about the carpentry designed to include the fruit bowl. Along with the decision for the best place to install the drawerrecommends the use of a good hardware to guarantee the complete opening of the drawer, without worrying about movement and weight.



In another project created by the Studio Tan-gram duo, the fruit bowl is integrated into the central surface of the kitchen, in a point of easy viewing and access.

“In their positioning, we favor cooler and more ventilated spaces for storage, as well as a larger structure and an impeccable finish of the drawers”, underlines Claudia.

2. Pantry in built-in wardrobe



A food storage It’s a highly sought-after resource for storing grocery purchases, but not all properties have a room adjacent to the kitchen or enough area dedicated to it.



The main idea was to leave the pantry with easy and practical mechanisms to open and close its doors, one deeper and the other shallower, like a common wardrobe.  Another charm of the piece is the absence of exposed handles or handles, leaving the feature with a discreet and elegant finish.  With this solution implemented by Studio Tan-gram, the apartment gained more space and freed the furniture from overloading, ensuring excellent and discreet compartmentalization of the kitchen.

In this recurring scenario in compact apartments, Claudia and Monike found the solution to arrange the main carpentry objects: in this kitchen, they transformed the built-in furniture, which lines the walls and houses the refrigerator, into a large pantry full of compartments !

3. Plate cabinet, sideboard or island



Located at the top of the cabinet, the cabinet features white joinery, contrasting with the blue color mainly found in the kitchen joinery.  With this balance, Claudia and Monike, from Studio Tan-gram, achieved an elaborate and relaxed aesthetic game that matches the composition of the tiles chosen for the pediment.

Integrated social areas are increasingly common in interior architecture projects, including the kitchen with the living room or balcony. To ensure that, even without walls as a dividing tool, the rooms are delimited, it is interesting to create an island or insert furniture to compartmentalize the spaces, for example.



The inclusion of the charming piece of furniture created a well-established division between the spaces, while maintaining integration.

To create a connection with the environment, in the following project, the architects of Studio Tan-gram proposed an island made up of a bench for quick meals, wall units and a dishwasher on the top.

4.plants



Natural elements add a magnificent effect to the kitchen decor.  Like this project by Studio Tan-gram, which included a suspended metal shelf to display the residents' species.

Residents’ enthusiasm for incorporating plants into their home lives is growing—after all, bringing nature closer brings countless emotional benefits. Not to mention the furniture, which takes on new contours with the plants in the room!



An advice shared by architects Claudia and Monike is to propose a mix of species, choosing plants with different types of foliage, sizes and colours!  This way, the cuisine will gain different levels of appreciation.

For an arrangement with plants it is worth investing in both eye-catching pots and more discreet pots, depending on the project in question. Furthermore, the natural elements in the decor they transmit heat and give the space a more sensorial ‘feel’.

5. Tiles as a covering



With geometric and colorful tiles, the gable cladding carried out by Studio Tan-gram evokes an appearance of unity between the kitchen and the service area, which are integrated in this project!  The tiles also created a feeling of spaciousness.

With the application of tiles it is possible to create countless combinations, given the variety of formats, patterns and colors available on the market. The backsplash is also an excellent choice: by covering the area behind the stove, the tenant gains in aesthetics and practicality in cleaning that surface. Furthermore, the cost is lower since the coated area is relatively small.
