How to choose the color of a kitchen set

The kitchen is the most favorite place in the house for many residents. Therefore, it is not surprising that when renovating, people pay great attention to the appearance of this room. Color design is of greater importance in this. The color of the furniture set bears a big burden in this matter. After all, with its help you can give the room any appearance you want. For example, add visual volume to a small room, add light to a darkened room, add warmth to a northern room, and so on. But in order for this room to turn out to be quite cozy, and at the same time correspond to your aesthetic perception and comfort, you should familiarize yourself with a number of rules and recommendations on how best to cope with your goal.

How to choose a kitchen set by color

The kitchen is a room for all family members, so when determining its color scheme, the general opinion should be taken into account. You can also decorate in neutral colors. But when choosing a color for kitchen furniture, you should consider the following parameters in more detail:

• Illumination of the room;
• The influence of color on human perception;
• Combination of furniture with the general range;
• Interior style direction;
• The desired visual effect.

Only by taking into account all these criteria can you choose the right color for the headset.

Selection rules

The choice of colors for furniture primarily depends on the style direction:

• For a room decorated in a restrained, laconic style, for example, in minimalism, you need to use light, cold colors (white, bluish, gray) with the addition of metal parts;
• Cozy, homey design, such as rustic or Provence style, offers beige, coffee, pink and creamy shades;
• Classics in the interior prefer high-quality furniture made of dark wood. Also typical for classic cuisine is the combination of red, white and black.

Reference! Also, do not forget about the lighting and size of the room. Massive dark furniture is not suitable for a small room. It will visually reduce the space even more.

How to combine colors

Of course, single-color furniture options are beautiful, but some homeowners want to decorate their set in several colors. Therefore, the combination of colors should be approached with special attention. Let's look at the basic rules of this process:

• It is not recommended to mix more than two colors in this furniture;
• The upper tier of the headset should always be lighter than the lower one;
• There should not be two bright colors in one set. Brightness should be complemented by muting;
• When combined, one color should always prevail over the other.

Important! When choosing a brightly colored facade for kitchen furniture, know that the overall color of the room in this case should be neutral.

In addition, there are several classic color combination options, depending on the main color:

• White, black and gray are universal tones suitable to complement any color;
• Red looks harmonious with green, yellow and blue;
• Beige can be added with brown or blue;
• Lilac is combined with yellow, green, brown.

The best colors for kitchen furniture

For those who are not sure of their color perception, designers have developed the most acceptable color solutions for kitchen furniture:

• Light shades are perfect for kitchen furniture. They visually make the room lighter and more spacious. They also have a calming effect on a person;
• The black-red-white color, in addition to its attractiveness, has a strict and restrained appearance. But you need to be careful when using it in the interior, as it can create a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. Especially if you overdo it with red. Don't forget that red is the color of aggression;
• The range of natural wood is perfect for coloring the set. After all, a person subconsciously associates this color with nature. These tones increase appetite and have a beneficial effect on the internal atmosphere.

Design tips

And in conclusion, let me give a few recommendations on how to use the color of furniture to give the kitchen interesting features:

• If your kitchen space is spacious and you prefer light furniture, choose a set in which the main light tone will be slightly diluted with bright inserts;
• If the set has a monochromatic color, choose a contrasting tabletop;
• If by choosing light colors to decorate your kitchen you end up with, in your opinion, a colorless room, the problem can be solved by choosing a bright kitchen apron and textiles (tablecloth, curtains, napkins);
• When decorating this room, you should not make the floor and ceiling the same color. Ideally, you should have a smooth transition from light to dark (from ceiling to floor);
• For a small kitchen, preference should be given to plain furniture.
