The combination of colors in the interior

Interior design features

To get a complete picture, it is worth considering the design of the kitchen in advance. The details must match with each other.

Floor, walls, ceiling

Light colors are ideal for wall decor.

Dark shades draw attention to them. An interesting solution would be a white ceiling, turning into silvery walls.

At the same time, it is worth putting graphite-colored tiles on the floor. Many designers advise, in any case, to leave a white ceiling. This avoids the feeling of a confined space. The combination of light walls and a dark floor will make the room free.

It is important to take into account the permissibility of contrasts. In addition, an overly dark floor is not considered the best option.

Contamination will be visible on it. Therefore, such a surface will have to be washed daily.

Kitchen apron

An excellent option for a gray kitchen would be a mosaic apron made in steel color. An alternative will look no less successful - ceramic tiles in the shade of wet asphalt. The decorative element can be glossy or matte. In any case, it will be surprisingly practical and will hide greasy stains.

Furniture facades

Kitchen set occupies up to 70% of the total kitchen space

Therefore, special attention should be paid to his choice.

Furniture can be made from different materials. MDF, chipboard or plastic will look equally good. To visually enlarge the space, it is worth using different shades of gray in the interior. Gray cabinets on top and dark, saturated colors in the lower tier look great.

Various white details will complement the gray furniture. It is perfectly acceptable to combine a gray set with a milk buffet. The contrasting tabletop looks good. It can be in stylish silver or granite shades.

Couch

To add interesting notes to the interior, it is permissible to use a stylish mouse-colored sofa. Such a piece of furniture will look more elegant than a colored counterpart. To make the design of the room spectacular, it is worth using bright pillows decorated with prints or light upholstery of chairs.

Curtains and other accessories

To create an interesting interior, it is worth using interesting textile elements. To make the gray scale cheerful, it is recommended to choose curtains with bright prints. They should be matched to the tablecloth.

Stylish decorative plates will be an excellent solution. For the design of the room, it is permissible to use a bright fruit vase or decorate the table with a bouquet of flowers. Such a room will look beautiful and the design will be finished.

Table top

Dull countertops, made in a granite or ash palette of colors, are in harmony with any shades of facades. Such surfaces are very easy to maintain and have an attractive appearance. On a gray background, dirt is practically invisible. For a tabletop to be strong and to withstand impact loads, it must be made of stone. It can be natural or artificial.

Modern materials are very popular. One of them is acrylic. It comes in a variety of shades and patterns. A wooden countertop is used much less often. She needs careful handling.

The meaning of color, the impact on a person

Like other colors, orange affects a person's life. This is a complex color and the predominance of one shade or another in it affects our subconsciousness, providing a different effect. The dominant yellow color has a positive effect on a person's mood, relieves depression.

Shades of red increase activity and give strength.

The use of orange in the interior will help to cope with apathy and depression, as well as push you towards new goals. In addition, orange can help introverted people, relieving shyness. In psychology, orange is used to work with aggressive clients.

Popular combinations with other colors

There are many interesting combinations of green and other shades. To achieve good results in creating an interior, it is worth considering the basic recommendations of designers.

White

The combination of green and white is considered a classic option. The white tint allows you to get a clean feeling in the room, making it lighter.

Brown

A great option would be to use a brown countertop against the background of a green kitchen. The same color can be used for different parts - hodgepodge, boards, mills. The combination of a white floor and a green headset looks good. Such an interior will organically complement a brown table.

Black

This shade is considered universal and looks with any tones. It is permissible to complement a green kitchen with wall tiles and black dishes. A good solution would be to choose a black table. It is permissible to use the same chairs in the interior. Black household appliances will be a great addition. In this range, choose a refrigerator or stove. You can also pick up a black oven.

Yellow

It is one of the more popular green supplements. Yellow stimulates appetite and therefore looks good in the kitchen. It is permissible to use yellow fruits or sunflowers as decorative elements. It is recommended to dilute the yellow-green range with white. Thanks to this, the interior will turn out to be lighter.

Orange

This color is often used for kitchen decoration. When combined with green, it is recommended to use orange as accents. These include accessories or textile items.

Gray

This is another versatile shade that complements any color. For a soft and calm interior, the gray-green palette is the perfect solution.

Beige

This combination will turn out to be warm and cozy. This kitchen design option adjusts for long family gatherings and evokes associations with summer.

Purple

This is a rather bold combination. In order not to get a ridiculous or defiant composition, it is worth considering the interior to the smallest detail. Wall tiles that depict purple tulips look good. Fresh flowers of the same shade will help to support the drawing. An interesting accent will be a purple lamp and similar dishes.

Photos in the interior

The high-tech direction will be an ideal style solution for an orange kitchen. In addition to the red glossy facades, elements in black and gray are selected. With the help of bright accents, it turns out to deprive the ultra-fashionable futuristic design of sterility and brutality.

Orange kitchens in matt design are quite spectacular, especially when combined with glossy flooring. Due to this design technique, it turns out to increase the height of the space, endow it with laconism and a peculiar style.

In the photo there is a spacious black and orange kitchen, made in high-tech style.

In the design of the kitchen-living room, the main accent is the dining area, therefore it is in it that orange shades prevail. For the workspace, a minimal orange palette is used in the form of chairs, an apron, or a table top. All the rest of the space is done in light colors.

The photo shows the interior of a corner kitchen with a bar counter with a dark bottom and an orange top.

Orange kitchen - period of operation

Regardless of what the thematic place is - an orange corner kitchen, a traditional direct set or a separate kitchen area in a studio apartment - you need to understand that orange blossom is an extraordinary solution, but by no means neutral.Therefore, after 2-3 years of its use, thematic cuisine can get bored.

On the other hand, the orange color is expressed predominantly through the headset, which can be replaced with a new one. Someone even manages to dismantle the kitchen facade to install an analogue, but in a different color.

The main thing is that in both cases, major and even cosmetic repairs will not have to be carried out. Hence, another benefit of using the orange style in the kitchen looms - the possibility of quick modification.

Color matching rules

Coloristics divides the entire color palette into light - dark tones, warm - cold, pastel - saturated. Achromatic - white, black, other colors - chromatic.

Color circle

The designers came up with a color circle, the center of which is a triangle (3 main colors - red, blue, yellow). The edges of the triangle are complementary colors formed by combining the first three. Red plus blue will end up with purple, blue with yellow - a green tone, and yellow with red, respectively, - orange. Primary colors create a perfect combination.

Color wheel for the selection of colors in the interior of the kitchen

Contrasting colors go well with each other, in a circle they are opposite each other. Relatively contrasting colors are called colors obtained by adding a third shade to two - orange, light green with the addition of yellow.

Achromatic kitchen

Monochrome interior - white, white and black can be made not boring at all. White color creates a sense of spaciousness, adds light to a small kitchenette. Snow-white is the color of harmony, it gets rid of negativity

When choosing a white tone for decorating a kitchen space, focus on warm shades, they push the walls apart, set you up for a positive

White kitchen does not mean sterile blinding monotony - the snowy facades of the kitchen set can be complemented by marble stains on the countertop, light blotches on artificial stone. Matte or chrome roof rails will also harmoniously fit into the interior of a monochrome white kitchen.

Achromatic interiors include combinations of black and white, because both do not carry a color load. Popular combinations of black and white in the following styles:

1. Minimalism;
2. High tech;
3. Scandinavian.

Household appliances in a metallic (silver, black) case, moldings, roof rails will be able to complement the design of the kitchen space.

Lighting is of great importance in such a kitchen - cold snow-white will emphasize the silvery details, emphasize them, white furniture can be highlighted with a colored LED strip.

Colored kitchen

The influence of paints on the psyche, human behavior has already been mentioned above. The right combination of colors in the kitchen design will become a means of creating style, with the right choice of color variations, they will complement, reinforcing each other.

When combining paints, it is recommended to use the following techniques:

• Monochrome is the use of lighter or darker shades of the same color. For example, light green, spring greens, rich deep herbal or lime, olive, plus the color of moss.
• Related paints - located on the color wheel in close proximity to each other.
• Contrasting - located at opposite ends of the color wheel: lime - purple, yellow - blue, pink - light green.
• Relatively contrasting, when a third is added to two shades. Successful combinations - red with purple, pink or blue with lilac, purple.

When choosing combinations for creating a kitchen design, consider the effect of colors on the human body and psyche:

1. Red - causes excitement, increases blood pressure;
2. Brown, wood - tends to melancholy, depressive state;
3. Gray evokes despondency, melancholy;
4. Blue - tends to sleep.

Orange kitchen - for whom it is suitable

It is known that each color plays a role in human psychology.Orange is no exception. It has long been noted that the "orange", which is akin to an autumn sunset, raises the mood and even makes you remember the sea.

From here it becomes clear that the kitchen in orange colors boldly fits:

• Bright personalities;
• Romantics;
• For innovators;
• Those in need of psychological relaxation.

Thematic cuisine is relevant when there are children in the family. Then each breakfast is always accompanied by fun and perspective regarding the whole day ahead. This is partly because the morning was filled with "sun" in spite of any weather.

Accents

The 60/30/10 design rule recommends color combinations when creating a kitchen interior, based on the main emphasis. This focal subject can be:

1. Furniture;
2. Kitchen apron;
3. Wall decoration;
4. Accessories;
5. Appliances.

This main item of the kitchen should make up the color spot, that is, the very 10%. Based on them, you need to choose the main, background and accent color.

For example, gray, snow-white, brown, black finishes, furniture will harmoniously coexist with a bright red apron

Choosing an apron in green tones, pay attention to the combination in the kitchen interior of beige, herbal

As already mentioned, orange cheers up, increases appetite. If there are people in your family who have a poor appetite, create a kitchen with orange notes - an apron, tablecloth, textiles on the windows. Choosing what color orange is combined with in the interior of the kitchen, you can make the main color - light green, additional - brown, and complete the interior with bright accessories.

Apron for orange kitchen

A good solution is the neighborhood of bright facades with a dark countertop of chocolate, black, coffee, graphite color or wenge, but then choose an apron in light colors.

With such a saturated base color, a bright apron can look like a clumsy stain, so give preference to neutral shades or consider a mosaic panel or photo printing on glass. This will cool and dilute the activity of the base color.

ADVICE
For an accent on the brightness of colors, choose a white apron.

If you need to “cool” the base color, use shades of gray: wet asphalt, metallic, dusty gray. This will bring the room closer to the techno style, and such a combination will liven up the atmosphere.

One of the important elements of the decor is the window frame. For a bright design, it is better to use transparent or white tulle. This does not impede the penetration of sunlight, while not overloading the room with another bright accent.

The use of a shade of orange in curtains is acceptable in a spacious room and with a neutral base color. It will also be appropriate to choose short white curtains with a minimum of colored accents, roller blinds, blinds.

Decor

Shades of orange give the room a rich color

He attracts very much attention to himself. Therefore, if you have not yet decided on the most active tones when choosing furniture, walls, feel free to spray bright shades around the room, placing a floral arrangement of autumn tones, decorating the wall with a still life with a fruit set

Textiles with embroidery with gilded threads will look rich.

Selection of colors for the kitchen

In order to visually expand the walls and raise the ceiling, it is necessary to choose a light and cold color scheme, using warm paints as bright accents.Dark tones reduce the space, so they are only suitable for larger kitchens. If the kitchen is not sufficiently lit, then it is better to use rich color shades. But, if the kitchen is small, try to avoid very bright colors that can get tired and dilute them with pastel tones.

To choose the right color scheme for the kitchen, first, decide on the color of the kitchen furniture, walls and flooring. Do not forget that the color of kitchen accessories must also be selected in the appropriate shades.

Red cuisine has a stimulating effect, energizes and awakens the appetite. Soft shades of red, such as tomato, coral and cherry, are most acceptable for kitchen decoration. However, you quickly get tired of the red color, and such a kitchen can start to repel you. Red is preferred by people who are active, with strong energy and live out of the world.

A kitchen in blue will have a calming effect, but it will reduce appetite.

Blue is best used only if the kitchen is facing south. Blue shades go well with orange, yellow and coral. The blue kitchen is suitable for a person who cares about his spiritual development, about relationships with people and who wants to please people.

The blue color in the interior of the kitchen symbolizes a change for the better. All shades of blue help to rest, relax and forget about problems.

The brown kitchen is conducive to open and calm communication. Lighter shades of brown make the kitchen cozy and warm. Brown goes well with almost any color.

Green kitchen has a calming effect on the nervous system, improves digestion and uplifts mood. Warm shades of green are best for finishing the kitchen. The most popular are salad and pistachio colors. The combination of green with yellow will create an atmosphere of cheerfulness in the kitchen. A person who is persistent and takes everything very seriously will prefer a kitchen in green.

The yellow kitchen is pleasing to the eye, so you can stop your choice on such shades as peach, yellow gloss, red copper and pastel shades. Lovers of yellow need wide windows that can be opened, and no room will be too spacious for such people.

White is used for classic and high-tech kitchens. White is quite neutral and does not attract the attention of guests. Which is clearly not desirable in the food preparation area.

A purple kitchen is relaxing and calming. But the appetite in such a kitchen is suppressed, so the purple kitchen is more suitable for those who often use various diets, trying to lose weight.

Often, when choosing a color scheme for the kitchen. it is difficult to be limited to one color. I can recommend several color combinations. So blue - green colors are suitable for an idealist who believes in good and eternal. But the combination of red and green will suit a person with inexhaustible potential and numerous possibilities.

The combination of yellow with green will suit a person who is authoritative and enjoys the attention of others. The choice of pink indicates lightheadedness, cheerfulness and a sense of carelessness.

Choosing a color scheme for the kitchen

Correctly selected kitchen furniture, the color of the walls and facades play an important role in creating a kitchen. To choose the right color of furniture for the kitchen room, you need to know the basic rules for the selection of colors

Color is important in everything. With its help, you can narrow and expand the illusory space of the room.Light colors are suitable for small rooms, and dark ones for large ones.

The most popular shades are gloss yellow, lemon tone and copper red.

Black kitchen

In fact, there is no black color in nature. This color brings oppression, everyday life in the set and causes gloomy sensations. This color is not suitable for the kitchen, definitely, except for the toilet. Modern designers think differently. They believe that a black kitchen is practical, simple and original.

Even if you dilute black with any juicy and bright color, your kitchen will look austere, rough and tasteless.Therefore, most designers would not recommend this color to you.

Primary colors

It is important to understand that there are only 5 main, so-called pure ones:

• White;
• Black;
• Red;
• Yellow;
• Blue.

But there are a great many derivatives from them in the color wheel, thanks to mixing you can get almost any color scheme, cold or vice versa warm. Blue alone gives designers a couple of dozen of their amazing halftones. Color can be explained not only from the physical side, but from psychology. Have you ever noticed that this or that tone makes you happy, while the other, on the contrary, is sad.
