Transitional kitchen

In a world where interiors chase "the next big thing" with relentless fervor, Olesia Kravchenko builds to a different rhythm - calm, precise, and nearly silent.

- 

Her transitional kitchens hold their form for years because they stand on things that refuse to lose meaning: proportion, material, and the logic of daily actions.

A graduate interior designer (National Aviation University, Kyiv) with over a decade of experience, member of both IIDA and NKBA, triple winner at the 2021 Interior of the Year awards, and recipient of the 2022 “Pride of the Profession” distinction, Kravchenko traveled from artistic intuition toward methodical approach, where visualization, construction oversight, and contractor coordination form a single, coherent system.

Project that became a manifesto

This approach is particularly evident in her signature project in Orange County, California. In 2025, a private residence received a 290-square-foot kitchen - modest in scale but massive in its impact on the designer's subsequent work. Three months of design development and five months of execution transformed a room into an example of quiet, attentive design. Here, Olesia brought from Europe the idea of wall moldings - not as decoration but as tools for scale and shadow - and adapted it to California light, American daily habits, and real-world use scenarios.
