Purple kitchen: color combinations, choice of curtains, finishes, wallpapers, furniture, lighting and decor

Kitchen set shape

When choosing a headset, it is important to rely on the size of the kitchen and the design of the future interior. A correctly selected form will favorably emphasize the advantages of the kitchen and hide some disadvantages, for example, the irregular shape of the room.

Linear purple headset

Suitable for any room size, its idea is that the entire set is located along one wall. There is also a parallel straight set, in which the components of the furniture are located along two walls. The number of drawers and pencil cases depends on the size of the kitchen. There is free space for a separate dining table.

Corner purple set

Helps to use space rationally, while ergonomically using spacious corner cabinets. A sink or stove is also placed in the corner. Often, the corner is formed with the help of a bar counter, which serves as a zone separator between living room and kitchen in a studio.

U-shaped purple headset

Just like the corner one, it rationally divides the work space and uses the window sill as a countertop or a place under the sink. Suitable for a rectangular kitchen of any size, but a small kitchen will not have room for a dining table, so this option is suitable for a home with a dining room or dining room.

Island purple set

It opens up perfectly in a large kitchen. Its peculiarity is in the combination of a linear or corner set with a central island table, which acts as an additional work surface, a bar counter or a dining table with spacious shelves or cabinets for storing dishes or workpieces.

The photo shows an island one-color suite, where a black tabletop and orange walls act as a visual delimitation of the top and bottom of the furniture.

Compatibility Layout Table

The combination is easy to check. There are many programs that select additional shades for the main color, and ordinary tables for manual work.

Professional tables are common with kitchen furniture manufacturers, but are easy to find on the internet. Additionally, sites with ready-made color schemes are also common, including those for kitchens. In them, you will see the design options prepared by the designer, allowing you to choose the appropriate solution and get a lot of new ideas for your own home.

Basic rules

The harmony of colors in the interior of the kitchen will ensure their correct combination, which must be observed when developing the design of the room. The main criteria for choosing a color scheme are solutions that provide a pleasant visual perception of the interior. Often, the shade of the furniture or the walls plays a more significant role in the design of the kitchen than the size of the cabinets, their appearance, or their layout.

So:

• a light color, chosen as a priority in the interior of the kitchen, will visually expand the space;
• the dark tones present in the decoration make the spacious kitchen cozier, even if the combination of colors in the interior of the kitchen is bright and versatile;
• color finishes are subdivided into contrasting, two- or multi-color, as well as monochrome;
• in different design solutions, analog or mixed shades can be used;
• when choosing a color in the interior of the kitchen, you must follow the rules of the color wheel.

Traditional color combinations in the interiors of kitchens and other rooms are:

• black with all shades of white - can be combined with almost any color;
• red - intertwined with green or blue, as well as gray, bright orange and yellow (from pale to saturated);
• beige - in tune with blue and, of course, close to it in scale - brown;
• blue - looks harmonious with both red and green, and even better - with yellow;
• pink - matches gray in the interior of the kitchen, as well as turquoise and brown tones;
• green - looks good next to beige of various shades and yellow;
• gray - favorably echoes blue, or red and purple.

Important in the design are not only the color combinations in the interior of the kitchen, which can be enumerated indefinitely, but also the saturation of the shades. The basic rules for designers are as follows:

• the ceiling should be lighter in relation to the flooring;
• a multicolor design should not contain more than five shades, otherwise the room will turn into a circus booth;
• the color of the kitchen set is chosen different from the wall decoration;
• glossy surfaces saturate and deepen color tones and halftones, and matte ones make them more muted;
• only one dominant color is allowed in the interior of the kitchen;
• shades of countertops and work aprons should contrast with furniture fronts.

Adhering to the elementary rules for choosing colors in the interior of the kitchen, it is quite possible to make its design harmonious and attractive in terms of combining individual decor elements with the main design of the room.

Design features with cool shades

Excessive illumination of the kitchen, a subconscious desire to lower the temperature or the preference for calm tones - any factor can be the reason for choosing an interior design in cold shades. Spectrum from a combination of green, blue and purple refers to the water element, therefore, evokes associations with purity and mystery. If warm tones visually bring objects closer, then cool colors have the ability to visually expand the boundaries of the area, moving the surfaces away from the observer.

There are many options for combining cold colors in various styles of kitchen interior. Here are some actual design examples:

• Modern style or laconic modern kitchen. Purple, ultramarine and electric blue are found here. The proposed colors look especially impressive in gloss. Combination with polished steel and darkened glass is actual.
• Romantic Provence. The kitchen with vintage furniture is filled with shades of olive or pistachio color. The muted tones are organic in combination with pastel wall surfaces. Decor and accessories are actively using natural motives.
• Avant-garde and eclecticism. Color combinations are almost impossible to predict here. Blue, turquoise, emerald and many others will create a slightly austere atmosphere in the kitchen interior. Depending on the proportions, the design can be dynamic or calm.

What are the color schemes and their features?

To correctly choose the combination of colors in the interior of the kitchen, use the color wheel - depending on the location of the sectors, several win-win schemes are distinguished on it.

Gradient or tint

This color combination for the kitchen is also called monochromatic or monochrome. The point is to take one segment of the circle and make the interior in these colors. That is, only one tone is taken as a basis, and the depth of space and dynamics are achieved due to its semitones.

Thanks to this technique, you can bring a sense of unity to the interior, combine many details without the danger of oversaturation and clutter of the interior.

In the photo, the beige color of the kitchen is an example of a tint combination of colors.

To prevent a monochrome interior from looking boring, add more contrast between shades, use several interesting textures and details in the interior. In this case, the brightest should be the elements that you want to highlight or emphasize.

This scheme is the only one where you do not need to follow the rule of maximum 3 shades. You can achieve an interesting effect if you use 5-6 tones.

Contrasting color combination

A complementary pair is considered to be placed opposite each other in the color wheel scheme. Sunny yellow, for example, complements nighttime violet. The bright red contrasts with the rich green. An energetic orange is paired with a heavenly blue.

The main advantage of the two-tone interior design is expressiveness. The design will definitely not turn out boring and the colors will not argue with each other.

But you need to combine colors in the interior of the kitchen with care so that the effect does not turn out to be too flashy, choose one color as the main one, and use the second to place bright accents. The final result depends on the brightness of the base color - the calmer it is, the calmer the kitchen will be.

From the spectrum of colors, try to choose not pure, but diluted, muted or dirty shades. Complex tones allow you to create the most comfortable space. For example, replace orange with rusty, pumpkin, tangerine, ocher or bronze.

Triad

As the name implies, this color scheme has three components. In this case, the triad happens:

Analog. On the color wheel, these are three colors of the same brightness, located next to each other. For example, for a yellow kitchen, the combination of colors green + tangerine will be considered analog. To make it easier to decorate the interior, one of the shades is chosen as the main one - a kitchen set or walls are made in it. The second tone is supportive, the third is accent.

Classic. If you draw an equilateral triangle on a circle, then its vertices will just indicate the colors of the classic triple combination. This scheme uses sectors equidistant from each other - in a twelve-sector circle - through three sectors. Example: purple + pumpkin + green, scarlet + lemon + sky. Also, as in analog, the first step is to choose a shade that will become the base, the second - an addition, the third - an accent.

Contrasting. A variant of a complementary combination, but instead of one opposite, a pair of adjacent shades is used. If you draw a triangle, then it will be isosceles. That is, for orange, instead of blue, take dark blue and turquoise. Purple is diluted with green and light orange. Such a combined scale is more difficult to perceive, but more interesting.

Black and white kitchen

Such kitchens are contrasting, but in comparison with colored ones, they are considered less active. Recently, combined black and white shades have been found in Scandinavian, minimalist and other modern interiors.

Boring black and white is diluted with one or two additional textures and shades:

• metallic black silver;
• complex white in the form of ivory, marshmallow, vanilla;
• steel and brown;
• colors of natural wood combined with texture.

Particular attention should be paid to lighting in a black and white kitchen. It can be either colored or standard - warm or cold, depending on the desired effect.

How to choose the right circuit?

The color of the walls in the kitchen affects the color combination in the same way as the color of the furniture, floor and ceiling. In order not to miscalculate, start from something large - for example, upper and lower cabinets, and based on their shade, select the rest of the details (chairs, curtains, decor).

Choosing the color of the headset

The color of the kitchen set today is not limited by anything - a large assortment of films and paints allows you to choose absolutely any shade. It should be based on personal preferences, the size of the room and furniture, ease of care.

For a small kitchen, the facades are only light and glossy is better. Dark colors, especially matte colors, absorb light and make the room look smaller. White kitchen set in combination with white walls will literally dissolve in space, and glossy surfaces will reflect and multiply light, making the kitchen brighter and more spacious.

It seems to some that white or light doors are absolutely impractical - this is a misconception. Dark glossy facades are considered the most impractical - prints remain on them, and even the slightest traces of grease and water leaks are noticeable.

It is not necessary to choose one color for all furniture. A dark or bright bottom and a light or neutral top are a safe bet for any size kitchen.

Deciding on the color of the technique

When choosing home appliances, you can go three ways: standard white, black or bright accent.

White appliances in a bright kitchen will not stand out or weigh down the space; they are easy to care for.
Black appliances are eye-catching and need to be complemented with accessories or details of the same color. Matches well with a matching worktop

Glossy and glass surfaces require special care.
Flamboyant technique can be used in colored and achromatic kitchens to emphasize the right place. The combination of elegant red or blue with white or black looks fresh and stylish. But do not overdo it - 2-4 devices will be enough.

Choosing the color of the countertop

Most designers and apartment owners try to make this surface neutral - and this is the right decision. The main thing is not to choose a color that is too dark - otherwise it will be difficult to keep it clean.

Important! The most practical colors are: white with veins, beige, natural wood, gray. The safest way to choose a shade and create coziness is to repeat the palette of one of the design zones.

We select the color of the walls

The walls can be absolutely any, the main thing is to achieve a harmonious combination with furniture and appliances. And also take into account the features of the room:

• Color saturation. Dark crushes, narrows the room, light - adds space.
• Temperature. Warm range softens, cold - refreshes.
• Print size. Large flowers, ornaments and other elements are suitable only for spacious kitchens, they can visually reduce the size of the room. Small patterns, on the contrary, increase.
• The direction of the drawing. To make the ceilings in the apartment visually higher, pick up vertically directed stripes. A narrow room will be transformed by horizontal ones. If the interior lacks dynamics, the diagonal will help.

Theory about the combination of colors in the interior

When choosing a scale for the interior of a room, you need to pay attention to the overall color temperature. The room may be dominated by warm or cold colors.

The first ones come from red, have its subtone in its composition (shades of yellow, green, red, orange, brown). The second are derivatives of blue, these include purple, blue, blue, turquoise. Black, beige, gray, white are considered neutral. Warm tones look better in large rooms, cold tones in small ones.

Other tips from designers when designing your own kitchen:

• with low ceilings, the floor, ceiling, the wall opposite to the entrance is made light, the rest of the details are bright;
• with high ceilings, the floor, the far wall are painted in a light tone, the others are saturated;
• light furniture will help to dilute the dark shade of the walls;
• the gradient looks beautiful - increasing the saturation of the shade from floor to ceiling or vice versa;
• with a weak contrast, they erase the border between surfaces, with a strong contrast, they emphasize;
• the vertical pattern of wallpaper stretches the walls, makes the room taller, a large ornament reduces the size of the room, a small one expands.

Matching colors

White and black are ideal for the main range of colors (red, blue, yellow), which are perfectly combined with each other. Warm shades successfully harmonize only with warm ones: for example, it is not recommended to combine golden yellow and cold yellow, lemon in the same room.

Incompatible colors

Orange color looks bad with light green - it makes the room pretentious. Also, the interior will be ugly, where blue, red and green, purple and light green, dark brown and blue are combined. But almost any color looks great with white, and most light tones with black.

How to choose the right color combination?

There are certain design rules that determine the combination of colors in the interior of the kitchen. The decoration of the room can be either one-color or multi-colored. In an interior with several colors, one main shade is selected.

When choosing colors, the following recommendations should be considered:

• if the color of the furniture set and the walls match, then the furniture should be selected a few tones darker;
• when decorating, it is not recommended to use more than 3-4 colors, as this will lose the main accent of the design.

A combination of colors.

• do not make the ceiling and floor in the same color, as this will reduce the volume of the room;
• the colors of the furniture should be lighter than the flooring, but darker than the surface of the walls;
• the backsplash and countertop should contrast in color with the furniture fronts.

The best color combinations in the kitchen interior are shown in the table.

The combination of the color palette is performed in several options:

1. Applying adjacent colors. This scheme uses colors that are nearby on the color wheel: orange and yellow, blue and green. This creates a relaxing environment.
2. A contrasting solution involves the use of shades of opposite color spectrum: green and yellow. Contrasting kitchens look impressive and original.
3. A triadic color palette is applied. Three shades are selected that are close in color spectrum.
4. Monochrome schemes involve the use of one color in a combination of their own shades.

Bright colors in the interior evoke positive emotions. Suitable for families with small children. The saturation of the palette depends on the texture of the products. Glossy surfaces enhance color intensity and depth. Matte and embossed items muffle colors.

Decor elements are used as accents, so they should be in bright colors. It is not recommended to use a combination of pink, orange and red. But even such a union can look harmonious in the treatment of talented designers.

What is important to know when decorating an interior in such colors

The kitchen space should be cozy and pleasant, but too much paint and too much purple in the kitchen can have the opposite effect: lead to rage, depression.

Therefore, the main rule - never make a choice in favor of a monochromatic, dark and luscious headset of this tone, complemented by the same finish and design elements in a similar color palette. Always combine!

• a little lilac (for expressiveness) - juicy lilac (as the main accent) - soft pink (to add softness and romance)
• lilac-white kitchen, including cream shades - will make the character of the room delicate, sophisticated, pleasant. It is a great option with a calming and relaxing effect.
• an interesting solution - a white-purple kitchen (it is always elegant, rich, stylish and sophisticated)
• winning combination - gray-purple kitchen
• the combination of black, purple and light steel shades in the kitchen makes an indelible impression

The arrangement of the kitchen space will not do without various accessories. Unfortunately, in such a color scheme you cannot find household appliances, but purple chairs for the kitchen, towels, curtains on the curtains, candles on the table, a fruit bowl and much more will give a special charm.

This color scheme should always be complemented by shiny and shimmering textures. Gold, steel and brass - any of them are perfect for finishing a headset and additional decorations.

Choosing a supplier - what to consider

An interesting purple kitchen design from a photo can be selected using an Internet resource, today there are a lot of design solutions and special catalogs. When you decide on the future interior, it remains to choose a company that implements the project you like in life.

In no case, do not forget that in addition to the external splendor and originality, the headset must be of high quality and reliable. This is influenced by materials, accessories (on which it is strongly not recommended to save money), the experience of the performer. Therefore, choose only the one who has been working in the market for a long time, has a positive reputation, provides guarantees and offers affordable prices.

Furniture selection rules

A very popular furniture color for today is espresso colors. There is some confusion over and over with another color called coffee, which tends to be slightly lighter and ranges from the light to dark chocolate brown family of colors.

The kitchen in this photo is decorated in espresso color.

There is no standardization of shade names in the furniture industry. Most companies create and mix their own colors, not to mention they call them themselves.

Furniture manufacturers often do this to get you to buy a matching Espresso piece of furniture. This makes competing furniture items less attractive to the consumer because they will not be the same color or in the same color family.

All furniture manufacturers try to add flavor to their models. Therefore, purchasing furniture for the kitchen for yourself, you can be sure that your interior will be original and unique.

Choose furniture that is a few shades lighter or darker than the background color, but which will still be in the milky brown palette.

A great option for the interior - furniture is a little lighter than the main tone of the walls.

Purple kitchen

I don't often use purple in the kitchen - the color is very extravagant and is not combined with every tone

The purple color made its way into our interiors and found its place there, most often it is present in the kitchen in the design of details, even more often in the design of kitchen sets, but there are attempts to design the entire kitchen space in one purple color, however, using its shades or colors - companions. So which wallpaper to choose for the kitchen?

Advantages and disadvantages

Purple is the color of creativity. It affects our subconsciousness, therefore, even in ancient times, it was used in objects intended for meditation and spiritual practices.It is believed that it tunes a person to fight the disease, improves sleep. Attracts money into the house.

The advantage of decorating a kitchen in lilac tones is that such a solution is very non-standard, original and quite new. A large number of shades, companion colors give room for creativity.

But we are talking here about more subtle shades, and thick purple can provoke depression, the development of chronic fatigue, unconscious melancholy and anxiety.
