Maria Kravchenko: "Every Millimeter in My Kitchen is Thoughtfully Designed"
The Comedy Woman star approached the choice of kitchen very responsibly: the dimensions and shape of the space helped unleash the imagination—both of the actress and the designer from the 'Maria' factory.
Maria Kravchenko's kitchen consists of three zones. Appliances, utensils, and food supplies are placed in the column cabinets; the 'wet' area is equipped in the graphite part with Antro and Jazz Plus facades, while the cooking zone and dining set are in white (with glossy Jazz and Jazz Plus facades). The result was a light, airy design that the star really liked.
Maria Kravchenko: "The warmest memories of my childhood are connected to the kitchen. I grew up in a communal apartment. Our kitchen was shared, but spacious, with high ceilings. We, along with neighbors – another family and a lonely grandmother – lived harmoniously, often gathering together. And I feel piggy delight from my new kitchen! I love everything about my kitchen: the combination of colors and textures, and its functionality. Every millimeter is thought out. I love to cook and carefully monitor the frequency of meals, portions, and calories. I wake up at 6:30, get my child ready and take them to daycare, then I stand at the stove and cook food for everyone: one thing for my husband, another for myself. I pack containers, and I'm ready to start my day with a full bag of homemade, delicious, and nutritious food!"
Irina Bezrukova: "This is my favorite and frequently visited place”
The actress Irina Bezrukova believes that in the kitchen, "it should be beautiful and convenient for me and for my guests.
She wanted the texture of the wood to be visible on the furniture, and the kitchen itself painted in a vanilla shade. The best fit for this description was the classic Borgo facades (translated from Italian as "small town"). They are made of ash wood and painted in beige with a walnut patina.
The kitchen is equipped with all modern appliances, drawers open silently, and mobile organizers and pull-out shelves in the cabinets save space.
Irina Bezrukova: "The kitchen in my apartment is my favorite and most frequently visited place. Here, I relax with a cup of coffee and work on my laptop at the table. When time allows, I enjoy cooking. I love loose porridges and on holidays, I delight guests with my signature dish - stuffed carp or baked sturgeon. An ideal kitchen should, first of all, be beautiful, cozy, with various lighting options. In short, a place where it's pleasant to spend time alone and entertain friends and loved ones."
Anna Mikhaylovskaya: "The new kitchen even expanded the space."
Actress Anna Mikhaylovskaya presented the designers at 'Maria' with a complex task: to place the kitchen in a large country house, taking into account the wishes of two mistresses (Anna herself and her mother).
The layout with the workspace facing the window is an option that suited everyone. Durable Nicolle MDF facades covered with thermoplastic in two colors – white and "gray ash" – were chosen for the kitchen. There is ample storage space in the large kitchen, so there are almost no upper cabinets in the design. To the right of the sink, a bench with pull-out drawers fits perfectly – a playful interior detail that the whole family liked.
Anna Mikhaylovskaya: "When I was little, my mom, dad, and I lived together with my mom's parents. Grandma often baked pies, and we had lively feasts in the kitchen. Recently, our close-knit family got a spacious country house. I dreamed of creating the same cozy, warm atmosphere there as in my childhood. At the same time, I wanted the kitchen to be functional, making it convenient for home culinary experiments. I really love cooking treats for my loved ones! I am delighted with everything, and the family is happy. It seems like the new kitchen has even expanded the space. Everything is arranged very conveniently, and I cook with pleasure. It combines functionality and beauty, just as it should be in the perfect kitchen."
Maria Tsigal: "I'm considering a career as a homemaker!”
Fashion designer Masha Tsigal found herself in a challenging situation during the renovation: due to the living room reconfiguration, the kitchen turned into a small triangular space.
However, the result turned out to be impressive. At Masha Tsigal's request, the kitchen was made white, glossy, and handle-free (Vector facades). To accommodate all kitchen utensils, the project included double upper cabinets, but thanks to the white color, they seamlessly blended into the interior.
Masha Tsigal: "I didn't search in vain for someone who could quickly, precisely, and modernly create new furniture for my non-standard kitchen. In the shortest time possible, they prepared a design project for me with 3D visualization exactly according to my wishes. The furniture was also installed swiftly and neatly. I didn't have to do anything myself at all. They also chose excellent appliances! The craftsmen at the company are very pleasant to work with. I am very satisfied with their work. I simply cannot express how happy I am with such a stylish kitchen! I'm considering a career as a homemaker! I love to cook, especially in such a kitchen!"
Anna Khilkevich: "The kitchen is the place where I recharge my energy.”
Anna Khilkevich, the star of 'Univer' and 'Yolki,' was inspired by Maria Tsigal's kitchen after visiting her. When she started renovating, she turned to 'Maria' and also chose Vector for the kitchen.
The white glossy facades seamlessly fit into the interior, and pleasant details like a bottle holder, a 'magic corner,' and a drawer under the oven helped to conveniently organize all kitchen accessories. The kitchen in the actress's home is combined with the living room and looks very elegant and modern.
Anna Khilkevich: "The main source of inspiration for me is my family. And the kitchen is the place where I recharge my energy because it's where the lives of all my loved ones come together. We spend all our time together in the kitchen, discussing matters and making plans. It's the central room in the entire house. That's why, when renovating, I paid special attention to its arrangement. It turned out exactly as I wanted. My kitchen is bright, light, and cozy. There's plenty of air, and everything around is a delight to the eyes, inspiring and bringing pleasure!"
