Brute force with you – Brutalist cuisine in a modern man’s home

The pure essence of brutalism is on display in this kitchen, where the raw honesty of materials and the hard determination of minimalist forms dominate. This interior exudes a sense of power where every line is purposeful, every material is real and nothing tries to look like more than it is. The roughness of concrete and the natural strength of wood form a harmonious contrast that embodies the essential elements of modern masculine design. There is no room for ornamentation here – only function, strength and raw beauty remain.

If I’ve already introduced feminine notes to the previous kitchen because of its brutalist character, with Scandinavian elements and carefully placed decorations creating a warm, homely atmosphere, now let’s look at the simplicity of brute force.

Elegant minimalism and playful brutalism in a Scandinavian kitchen

This kitchen-dining room is like a modern woman: strong and sophisticated, austere yet playful. Raw concrete meets light wood to create a coolly elegant base, while carefully placed objects and decorations create a warm, homely atmosphere. Small details such as cutting boards on floating shelves and countertops, plants and uncluttered pots and pans all serve functionality while conveying the delicacy and femininity of the design. An interior where style and practicality go hand in hand, creating the perfect space for everyday moments.

The Kitchen of Tranquillity: Rustic magic with a modern touch

There is something particularly comforting about this kitchen. The slow flow of time, the warm touch of wood, and the presence of natural materials immediately evoke nostalgia. This is not just a place to cook – it’s a haven to slow down, reminisce about the past and forget the rush of modern life. To be here is to feel as if time stands still, and in all its rustic simplicity we return to a calmer, more harmonious life.

Contemporary eclectic style in the kitchen: How to create harmony between different interior design elements?

In many homes, you will find years of accumulated furnishings that are the result of impulsive purchases. Often, people buy something because they like it – without thinking: – does it fit with their existing furniture; – are they planning to replace older pieces?

Such thoughtless purchases can result in a space looking disorganised, and many people believe that this naturally creates a sense of eclectic harmony. However, the end result may be that such a home becomes a ‘warehouse effect’ rather than a tastefully put together interior.

The kitchen in the picture, however, is a perfect example of how eclectic style is not a random assortment of elements, but a consciously designed and thought-out space where every little detail is in harmony with each other.

.

Contemporary eclectic is one of the most exciting trends in the world of interior design, perfectly balancing elements of different styles to create a unique yet harmonious overall effect. The kitchen shown here is a great example of this, blending different aesthetic influences while remaining functional and attractive.

In a kitchen — when is it practical to emphasize open shelves, and when is it better to predominantly prefer closed cabinets?

There are kitchens where every item is in plain sight. Almost everything is open, meaning shelves are used extensively, and some solutions even involve hanging kitchen utensils on a rod, freely displaying pans, spatulas, and colanders, not to mention larger utensils. On the contrary, there are kitchen designs where nothing is in front, nothing is visible — as if there were no kitchen at all. Some say in such cases, they don’t really cook; it’s just for show 🙂 .

.
Four kitchen style examples: rustic, Mediterranean, Scandinavian, and minimalist.

So, we are seeking answers to when it’s advisable to use open shelves in a kitchen, and when it’s more practical to conceal everything in closed cabinets. Additionally, how do these two opposing kitchen storage methods fit into different interior design styles? Which style is more suited to open storage, and which to placement in closed cabinets? How does the layout of a kitchen, whether it’s integrated with the living room or a separate space, determine the practicality of open or closed placement? Furthermore, how does the size of the kitchen or the intensity of its use dictate the necessity of open or closed storage areas?

Using handcrafted ceramics – uniqueness in everyday life

In the past, all ceramics were handmade. Compared to today’s industrial mass-produced ceramics, a handcrafted piece – whether it be a mug, cup, plate, soap dish, or vase – can exist in endless variations, limited only by the creator’s imagination. It is true that some may be less ergonomic, slightly irregular, and more expensive than industrially produced items.
As the saying goes, with an industrial product, if someone accidentally presses the production line button and then quickly turns it off – oops, 1000 mugs have already rolled off the line! 🙂

In contrast, an artisan creates each piece individually. Even if they work in a uniform style, small differences are noticeable, and each item reflects the artist’s unique vision, creativity, and skill. This chosen uniqueness resonates with customers who opt for handcrafted ceramics.

Let’s explore why it is beneficial to choose handcrafted ceramics for home decoration or everyday use:
