White and lilac are often together.
More recently, lovers of lilac color had only to dream of bringing their favorite tones into the kitchen atmosphere. What could be lilac? Curtains, sets, utensils - it could be lilac, but the lilac kitchen in the interior was a very rare guest.
Now this is not only possible, but also quite in demand. Therefore, this manual reflects exactly this topic.
Lilac means cold
Not a very warm color, frankly cold.
For all lovers of lilac, I want to immediately say that the lilac color itself belongs to the cold spectrum. And this already imposes some restrictions on its use. These restrictions apply to dark areas of the kitchen, certain stylistic directions.
Note! The cold color scheme in the kitchen can be compensated for with more light, or with a combination of colors, in Otherwise, you run the risk of recreating the atmosphere of cold, which is absolutely incompatible with such a warm place. like a kitchen.
We will consider a kitchen in lilac tones in three aspects:
- The presence of color solutions in the interior;
- Lilac furniture;
- Color matching and possible combination solutions.
Ceilings and walls
The imperative of the times is to deviate from strict standards such as white top, dark bottom, which is a wonderful phenomenon in itself, but you need to know when to stop.
Today you can be offered to use lilac color in the interior of the kitchen in almost all places:
Strength in combinations.
- On the ceilings. Lilac color is allowed, ready-made solutions for the type of stretch ceilings with ready-made colors are offered. But here it must be remembered that the ceiling itself is a large reflective surface. Having made it dark, there can be no reflection of the conversation.
Moreover, it is on such a ceiling that it is necessary to think over and install additional lighting sources... Much more interesting for the kitchen are complex ceilings using multilevel plasterboard structures, which can be traditionally white with additional light sources and "islands" lilac. See the photo above.
Interesting solutions for ceilings will be decoretto colors of the corresponding color, or the usual stencil application of lilac flowers on the ceilings when decorating the entire ensemble in the Provence style. With such combinations, you allow you to keep its main purpose behind the ceiling - the reflection of the sun's rays, and bring your favorite color into it.
- On the walls. You will not encounter any problems here either. A wide assortment of goods, ranging from wallpaper, tiles and ending with a stylish glass apron, with designs in various colors, ranging from ordinary lilac to exotic lilac. Moreover, you can install most of the materials yourself.
But in this case, it is desirable to provide for combinations of solutions. We will talk about color compatibility in a separate section, but, nevertheless, it will be much more interesting to look not a mono color on the walls, but a combination of several colors, for example white and lilac.
An interesting solution, albeit somewhat gloomy.
Note! Glass aprons with large flowers look very nice, have great reviews on functionality and care, but even this is not a cheap purchase will look much more interesting with a contrasting color decision.
- About windows. As a rule, this is a separate area of application of efforts, both during repair and in design. Whether to leave the windows as they are, or to introduce lilac hues, that is the question.
If you want to completely decorate the entire kitchen in lilac and related tones, then this is a matter of taste. The simplest solution would be to paint the window openings with the appropriate paint, or paste over them with wallpaper to match the general background.
Here, stencil images of flowers and objects are applicable, which in our opinion will be a more interesting solution, or the use of decoretto. And already the simplest solution for a lilac kitchen will be plain curtains or blinds.
Furniture dominant
Lilac and extra light.
It is thanks to the color scheme of furniture that the entire "kitchen mood" is created, and if the wallpaper can be replaced in a few years, then this trick will not work with furniture, the price bites. The interior of the kitchen in lilac tones is largely determined by the facades. kitchen cabinets. And before making the final decision on purchasing a lilac kitchen, let's decide on the style that you want to reproduce in your kitchen.
So:
- The simplest and most popular style is minimalism. The motto of this style is nothing more. This, of course, does not mean that you are being asked to abandon the usual, cute kitchen helpers, it just should not be in plain sight.
In this case, it is assumed that the dimensions of your kitchen should be appropriate, which will allow you to fit the entire headsets with closed cabinets, and on open surfaces you put the minimum number of items in the general tone the whole colors of the kitchen. Typically, these items can be crockery or decorative vases. This style does not accept ruffles, ruffles, extra tablecloths and napkins.
Interesting to know! All styles involve color combinations, and even minimalism does not require you to swear an adept of fidelity to one chosen color.
Even minimalism doesn't require one color.
- Hi-tech is the style of the space age. In terms of its semantic load, it has not gone very far from minimalism, however, kitchen facades require obligatory gloss under a metallic, and also the presence of metal accessories in facades.
This style is less constrained in its possibilities than minimalism. If the first assumes the basic principle of design schools to use no more than three combined colors, then the high-tech style no longer sets such a framework, moreover, experiments are possible in it.
- More varied and rich Art Nouveau style. It is calmer, does not require aggression, and even suggests the addition of lilac with warm tones. A lilac kitchen will already be diluted with beige or gold colors. It is in this direction that golden hues first appear.
- The lilac color is not alien to Provence style kitchens. But in this direction, the color we are considering will be closer to bed tones, and the design of the lilac kitchen will be complemented by white, pink tones. The walls no longer accept monotony, they are characterized by small flowers on the wallpaper, and ideally on the furniture. Even lilac chairs should be in bed shades, preferably with images of flora.
These are the basic styles in which lilac kitchens are frequent guests. These materials in no way limit your possibilities, apply spring color as you please.
But before that, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the next section, which contains the most common combinations and color solutions for the kitchen. So stay, it won't be boring.
You can and should experiment with color.
What to combine with
Both in the car there is a basic configuration, and in color solutions, there are basic color sets. The most common are two directions of color schemes, and if the first direction is intended to emphasize the cold lilac, then the second direction is intended to dilute, or at least balance the cold lilac color with warm tones.
So:
- The combination of basic white + black is a classic highlighting combination. In this case, the basic combination is precisely lilac and white. The use of these colors plays on the contrast between the dark lilac shades and the snowy white of the kitchen.
Lilac and white, and the rest of the ingredients to taste.
Advice! An interesting color combination is not always practical. And this is more true for the white color. This combination is very demanding for maintenance, especially in a place such as a kitchen, where all the effects of kitchen activities are very clearly visible on the white color..
The walls and floor are in warm colors.
- A combination of lilac + warm colors. These combinations are intended to bring the kitchen back to the correspondence between its function and color expression. A warm, even sometimes hot place, with the cold "shine" of lilac strokes is not combined well. This is why warm colors are introduced. The most common combinations are lilac with:
- Golden or lemon;
- Beige or cream;
- Peaches.
All of these colors combine beautifully and give your kitchen a “warm” feel. The kitchen is lilac with beige, perhaps the most popular option.
There is another plus in such color combinations. Warm colors do not require additional light sources.
Several psychological aspects
And what do you associate this color with?
The color we are considering is so diverse that even psychologists do not interpret it unambiguously. At certain times, he can bring cheerfulness and optimism, and he can develop and intensify depression.
Here are the characteristics that experts endow it with:
- Color is able to enhance the feeling of joy, tune in to optimism;
- In people of creative professions, it enhances potential and creativity;
- People who prefer this color to others are vain;
- Under this color it is good to start new business and achieve growth;
- Lilac color along with positive qualities can increase depression, and its abundance causes it.
Finally
How justified is the use of certain color solutions, in what style to design your own kitchen, it is, of course, up to you. We would like to remind you that the value of a particular room in an apartment is determined by no color alone.
Since the kitchen, then it should be both cozy and sufficiently lit, and still meet its purpose. And if you are comfortable in it, then why shouldn't it be the way you want it, or maybe you liked the white and lilac kitchen.
