Room dimensions: what to consider?
It is based on the area that you should choose the configuration of the set, the colors of the kitchen in the neoclassical style, lighting schemes and decorative techniques.
Kitchenette: 5-7 square meters
Miniature spaces are most often designed exclusively as a place for cooking. At the same time, moving the dining group (and sometimes storage) to other parts of the apartment. If this option is not suitable, turn to the most compact furniture and appliances. Also, when designing a neoclassical kitchen with an area of about 5 square meters (sq.m.) in the interior of the apartment, you can pay attention to:
- folding tables and chairs in neoclassical style for the kitchen;
- folding tabletops;
- window sill tables;
- stackable chairs and stools;
- transformable tables;
- mobile solutions (carts, kitchen islands on wheels).
Compact space: 8, 9, 10 square meters
The average sizes of typical neoclassical kitchenettes (8, 9, 10 sq.m.) allow you to place both a set and a full-fledged dining group. And when using compact solutions and design techniques, you can even find a place for a mini-recreation area or for a home mini-office.

Large rooms: up to 20 square meters
Most often, such an area allows you to combine the kitchen area, dining room and living room in one space. Sometimes in large combined kitchen-living room areas of 18-20 sq.m in neoclassical style, judging by the real photos in the apartments, they also include a fireplace area, a home library or a mini-office. Or allocate a place for a pantry.

Huge: more than 20 square meters
When decorating a room of impressive size (for example, thinking through the design of a kitchen over 20 meters in neoclassical style), it is important to remember the mandatory visual division into parts - and use zoning techniques. Otherwise, the situation will turn out to be disorganized and illogical.
Floor and ceiling decoration
The neoclassical ceiling is white. This is an axiom and it cannot be any other way. But you can “play” with the floor as you like.
If there is a bias towards natural materials, a wood-colored laminate will be no less appropriate than glossy tiles when using a stone countertop.

Varieties of direction: what to choose?
Neoclassical style, like any other, has its own varieties and branches. As well as successful mixes with other directions.

American neoclassical
American neoclassicism in the kitchen is modern classics generously seasoned with eclecticism. Often - in expressive colors, interspersed with retro elements. At the same time, the furnishings in this style are technological and practical.
French neoclassical style
Such interiors are successors of the French classics; they noticeably gravitate toward light tones and allow themselves a little more non-functional decor than other trends.
English neoclassical
It is based on the English classical direction: restraint, respectability, noble and rich colors. This style is characterized by ergonomics, a large amount of free space - and minimization of non-functional decor.
Modern neoclassical movement
Kitchenettes in the modern neoclassical style, judging by the photos of designer works, are most often decorated in neutral, restrained colors - and gravitate more toward contemporary than classic. The latter is usually recalled by furniture silhouettes and individual decorative and composition techniques.
Russian neoclassicism
In recent decades, styles with the adjective “Russian” have confidently made their way into the vocabulary of designers. In addition to Russian classics and the stylistics of the Russian village, the concept of Russian neoclassicism is also used. It leans a little more toward classical motifs than modern ones, and is noticeably less eclectic than American ones.
Neoclassical style + loft
The mix of industrial motifs and neoclassical trends is one of the most spectacular and in demand. It combines the sophistication of a modern classic style - and a certain brutality, the characteristic of a loft.
Lighting
Light in the kitchen space is a particularly important topic. Lighting must be varied and sufficient.
Chandeliers
A single ceiling chandelier in the kitchen (or in the interior of the kitchen-living room) in the neoclassical style is definitely not enough; design projects and real photos of apartments clearly demonstrate this. But as general light or as lighting for a dining area, it is more than appropriate.

Lamps above the tabletop
One of the most important points is the lighting of the work surface. For this they can be used, for example:
- ceiling soffits;
- lamps built into the set or mounted above the set;
- LED strips;
- Wall lights.
Another light
It would also be useful to provide lighting inside the cabinets. Hangings are often used above the bar counter or kitchen island. If the room has a living room or mini-office area, separate lighting may be required in these functional parts. Sometimes decorative light is also used (garlands, illumination of paintings and posters for kitchens in the neoclassical style).

Neoclassical kitchen design: color solutions (with photos)
Kitchens designed according to neoclassical canons are characterized by restrained color schemes. Look at these photos.
You see, there are no sharp transitions, contrasts, diversity - everything is harmonious and precise. Preference is given to soft pastel colors.
Light shades in kitchen design - examples of neoclassical interiors
If you scroll through all the photos, you will notice that most neoclassical style kitchens are decorated in light colors. Milky, ivory, pale peach, gray - these shades perfectly convey the aristocracy and noble character of this trend. Even simple sets without decorative excesses in light colors look rich and respectable.
For a small kitchen, light shades are also an opportunity to visually enlarge and expand the space, making it lighter.
Here's another example of the design. Here the kitchen area does not exceed 14 square meters. meters, but this did not become an obstacle to creating a harmonious space in a neoclassical style.
Neoclassical in white? Why not? (+photo examples of kitchen design)
Pure white kitchens are rare. The snow-white color is perceived as cold, which is not entirely in the spirit of the neoclassical style. But if presented correctly, such a kitchen can become a real decoration of the home. Like in these photos.
If you place black accents, the white kitchen will become more expressive and interesting. However, dark elements must be used carefully, like strokes. For example, these could be shaped elements on the facades of furniture, handles, and parts of kitchen appliances.
You can add color to a white kitchen with a colored backsplash. Glossy tiles harmonize perfectly with mother-of-pearl decorative elements, which are often found in neoclassical style.
Neoclassical style: kitchen design in blue tones
This blue kitchen radiates warm energy.
It’s nice to be here, drink tea, cook. However, the abundance of blue in neoclassical style can create an oppressive feeling. It is advisable to dilute deep tones:
Beige color in kitchen design: neoclassical approach
Very often, beige is chosen as the main color for neoclassical kitchens. This design favorably emphasizes the style and looks luxurious. Here is an example of the interior. Look how harmoniously the beige set is complemented with a light marble countertop.
And here small splashes of turquoise have been added to the design.
Furniture for a neoclassical kitchen area
The main stylistic requirements for furniture are classic or laconic silhouettes and unobtrusive, fairly restrained colors. It is also advisable to rely on natural materials (or their skillful imitations).
Tables and chairs
A dining group is a traditional way of decorating a dining room for this trend. But other options are also allowed:
- Kitchen island.
- Bar counter.
- Tabletop-window sill.
Typically, neoclassical interiors are furnished with furniture of either classic or laconic, neutral silhouettes.

Sofa in the kitchen space
The style allows for the placement of a sofa - and even welcomes the combination of the kitchen area with the living room. So a neoclassical kitchen (from 10 sq.m.) with a sofa is a good move.
