How to choose the right color for the kitchen

In order to choose the right color and tone for painting the room and furniture, it is necessary to take into account a huge number of parameters.

At the same time, you should immediately understand that personal preferences and wishes regarding specific colors and shades should be postponed to the most the last plan, otherwise the result, which at first looks very good, may turn out to be rather impractical, tiring or easily soiled.

Room size

• When it comes to talking about small kitchens, you should immediately exclude all variegated color options. Such a room will look too contrasting, and it will be tedious to work in it.
• Too dark kitchen colors are also not very suitable for small rooms. They look too gloomy and dull, creating the effect of a pantry or barn.
• However, when choosing a color that mimics natural wood, you can get a pretty decent composition that will transform even the most a small room into a cozy dining room, where you can not only relax and eat, but also comfortably engage in the creation of real culinary masterpieces.
• In spacious rooms, you can use almost any color, but it is best to divide the room into conditional zones, which give their own light and texture.

Advice! It is advisable to decorate a small kitchen with materials of light colors, since they will give the room volume and make it light and spacious. At the same time, to give contrast, some furniture elements can be highlighted in bright colors or even dark ones.

Room shape

Another point that must be considered when creating a color scheme for the kitchen is its shape.

At the same time, attention is paid to various niches, ledges and columns.

• A square room is considered ideal for this purpose. It can be split in half using different colors and materials. It can be given any colors and shades, but it is best to keep the interior in the same style.
• For rectangular rooms, colors of different shades are also used. However, quite often such rooms, even when visually divided into zones, are kept in the same colors.
• However, with a rectangular room, which can be classified as narrow, you will have to work separately. It is necessary to choose a color scheme for a small kitchen, presented in the form of a long room, so that the external the appearance of the interior did not create the prerequisites for the emergence of a fear of a confined space, and at the same time it was cozy and convenient.

Advice! When developing and selecting the correct color, it is necessary to visually evaluate all changes or developments made, therefore when creating a project, it is worth using special programs that will make it possible to complete this stage without difficulties.

Combinations

When creating a design, combinations of several colors are often used, which in their essence are opposite.

• Looks great against a background of dark wallpaper or tiles, bright and light furniture (see also article on bright kitchen). This combination is well suited for kitchens where an expensive or designer set is used.
• Another color scheme for the kitchen interior suggests, on the contrary, giving the furniture a calm and dark shade, while the wall decoration is made light. It can also make the wall stand out, but it can also bring the focus to the walls, especially if they have patterns or designs.
• The simplest solution when creating an interior is to use one color for the entire room and furniture. However, it is worth remembering that in this case, the furniture or walls must be made a little darker or lighter, otherwise they will completely merge and cause irritation due to the lack of clear contours.

Advice! Rooms with natural colors look great. They create a calm atmosphere and a certain comfort, but do not forget about other design solutions that are very popular lately.

Psychological effect

By creating a typical color scheme, the kitchen will be transformed, and its options are acceptable for the dining room. However, one must remember about such a factor as a psychological effect. The fact is that some shades can cause fatigue, irritation or aggression.

Such a mood can be caused by even the most harmless color, but in a certain concentration and range.

• Therefore, first of all, it is not recommended to use colors that are too saturated or bright.
• It is also worth avoiding the appearance of a mirror or glossy effect on the surface.
• Professional designers believe that the entire acceptable spectrum and gamut are found in nature as a sample. That is why the painted surface or furniture should look natural and natural, as shown in the proposed photos (see also the article on bright blue kitchen).

Advice! If some interior items have a rather bright color, then it is best to make a composition of them, which will be diluted with matte and pale surfaces. This way you can give the interior a peculiar elegance and at the same time smooth out the impression of contrasting colors.

Even a blue kitchen, with the right shades, can create comfort and coziness without causing fatigue and irritation.

Material selection and color creation

After you have decided on the colors of the walls and furniture in the kitchen, you need to choose the right material. The fact is that it is quite difficult to choose a set of the desired shade, which is explained by the standardization in the production of facades and panels.

That is why when creating the entire composition in the appearance of the kitchen, you must adhere to certain rules.

• First of all, you should decide on the type of household appliances and their colors. The fact is that the price of kitchen equipment is quite high, and the number of different design and decoration methods is very small. Therefore, it is worth starting the design with the choice of specific devices.
• The next step is the selection of furniture. It is rather difficult to choose a wall of a certain color. Manufacturing companies do not seek to diversify their products due to design and range, although if you wish, you can find a model you like that is close in shade to the desired one.

• Such difficulties with the selection of original headsets of the required color gave rise to a desire among people to make furniture with their own hands (see also the article about how to make kitchen furniture with your own hands). With this approach, you can most accurately translate the conceived project into reality.
• When the conversation comes about dyes for walls, then it is worth remembering one rule. You need to add color to the base gradually, periodically checking the result on a hidden section of the wall.
• Kitchen floors should match the walls. You should not focus them on furniture, since interior items can be rearranged, and the floor will have to be completely changed. Also, the design art instruction recommends choosing a color for them that would be a tone or two darker than the walls.

Advice! You should not initially include complex and rare colors in the project. It is very difficult to find them not only among furniture, but even among building materials. It is enough just to set a perspective, which can later be developed, creating a decent interior.

Conclusion

After watching the proposed video, we can come to the conclusion that at present, classic kitchen sets, which have natural colors and shades, are in demand. At the same time, monochromatic compositions, which are so characteristic of the provincial style of French furniture production, are especially popular.

It is also worth noting that creating your own design project with its subsequent implementation - the task is quite difficult and can require a lot of egergy, knowledge and a harmonious understanding of the world. Happy combination!
