The combination of colors in the kitchen

Colors such as black and white can be combined with any other in any proportions. Designers believe that incongruous colors do not exist - you just need to correctly select shades.

The rule "60 to 30 to 10"

The essence of this concept, which consists of three elements, is as follows: first they determine which color scheme will become the main one - about 60% of the total space should be painted into it. The second color is optional, it will occupy about 30% of the room. Less than 10 percent will remain on accents - fine decor, “contours” and more.

The main tone is usually painted on the walls, floor. It is desirable that it be light, because excessively saturated, dark colors quickly bother.If it is decided to make the background bright, then everything else is done much paler. An additional color scheme designed to “revitalize” the space should be well combined with other colors used in the design of the room. They are decorated with curtains, furniture draperies and facades. Accent color takes up the least space, but becomes the brightest. These will be paintings on the walls and beautiful dishes, individual elements on the wallpaper, embroidery on sofa cushions, a flower on the windowsill.

Accent color rule

An excellent solution is a combination of one of the basic colors, one of its shades with black or white accents. Modern designers often replace white with silver, steel, and black with dark navy blue, which makes the design a little softer. Accent color gives the picture dynamism - the further it is located from the rest used, the more it attracts attention. Such a combination as “blue - green” gives a low dynamic (calm), “green - purple” - medium (creativity), “red - green” - high (movement).

Color circle, main combinations, the rule of combination of primary, secondary shades

In order to accurately imagine how to choose the right color scheme for the kitchen, you should look at the color wheel. It exists in two versions: Mansela (there are five primary colors, the same number of additional colors) and Itten (three main colors, three minor, six intermediate). Most experts use the Itten version, which consists of 12 parts, but although there is no orange color in the Mansel version, when choosing complimentary colors, its circle is more accurate.

The main colors of Itten's circle are red, yellow, blue. All the rest are derivatives of them. Three minor colors - violet, orange, green, are formed by pairwise mixing of the main ones. The colors of the third order, of which there are 12, are obtained from the main ones mixed with secondary, but necessarily located nearby. They include blue-violet, orange-red, green-yellow, violet-red, yellow-orange, etc.All colors vary in saturation, lightness, also emit warm and cold.

Bright stylish kitchen

Most commonly used:

  • complementary combinations: green - red, orange - blue, violet - yellow;
  • classic compilation of three colors: blue-yellow-red, green-purple-orange;
  • analog design - three to five colors located on the color wheel one after another.

When white is added to any color, its saturation is reduced, black is increased.

Kitchen color options

With the help of color, the kitchen room is made larger or smaller, narrower or wider. The room in bluish, gray-green tones seems more spacious than the same area of ​​space, painted red-orange.

Colors in the kitchen

When the ceiling in the kitchen is low, wide borders and ornaments are not recommended, and in high rooms a “paint stroke” will look good - a thin line drawn 40-70 cm from the ceiling. This technique will expand the space by visually making the ceilings lower. If the room is narrow, elongated, and the window is located on the end, it looks ugly. To reduce the effect, “long” walls are painted in a light neutral tone, short - warm and bright.

The ceiling in most cases is painted white, but a pale yellow, beige-gray tone will add a touch of comfort to the kitchen. To correct the shape of a small room, but having an excessively high ceiling, the latter is painted with a grayish-brown, pale olive, reddish-brick color.

Kitchen interier

The room is designed completely in one color, several shades of it or create multiple contrasts, using two or three tones at the same time. Proper use of opposite colors or located next to each other, will create any suitable design.

The natural wood tones of light-colored furniture blend perfectly with brightly painted walls, always looking good.

Monochrome or Plain

A monochrome room is painted in one color with the addition of its shades of varying degrees of saturation. She looks elegant, very peaceful. So that the kitchen room does not look boring, dull, observe simple rules:

  • use at least two or three additional shades, except for the dominant one;
  • apply materials of different textures - on wood and ceramic tiles, MDF and stone, the same colors look completely different;
  • zoning is carried out in different shades of the main color, while the unfortunate shape of the room can be corrected.

Monochrome kitchen

In a monophonic room it is permissible to use several contrasting details, but not too much.

Tricolor

The three-color version of the kitchen design is the best solution for any space. Here, any three colors are used that are separated from each other by the same distance in the color wheel. The combination comes out bright, contrasting, pleasant looking. The selected colors are not used in equal proportions - here, sometimes with slight deviations, the rule 60-30-10 applies.

The most popular combination of the following tones:

  • bright blue - red - golden yellow;
  • copper yellow - rose red - blue;
  • tangerine - lime green - lilac;
  • gray-violet - protective green - pale orange;
  • light pink - lime - bluish purple.

Contrast

The contrasting kitchen looks vibrant, dynamic, but it’s important not to overdo it when designing - a large number of bright details makes the interior aggressive, uncomfortable.

Popular combinations for two-tone contrast room:

  • dark blue with red-orange;
  • pomegranate with indigo;
  • sunny yellow with blue-black;
  • purple with gold;
  • frosty blue with pale peach;
  • coffee with milk;

Contrast Interior

Analog

Analog colors on the color wheel are nearby - they are not shades of a single color, but completely independent colors. It is this design that is optimally suited for the kitchen, creating coziness, a relaxed atmosphere. It is important to distribute the shades so that there is no excessive variegation, the background is soft. Paints of the same brightness are preferable: orange-yellow-green, burgundy-red-orange, blue-violet-burgundy, etc. Two or three colors are used at the same time, one of them being the predominant one.

Analog kitchen

Achromatic or black and white

The black and white version is performed exclusively in contrast or is replete with soft gradient transitions. In addition to pure black, cold white, the use of metallic tones (steel, chrome, silver), slight inclusions of olive, terracotta, coffee, beige, dark blue are allowed here.

Here they are guided by the rule: "white top - black bottom". Against the background of colorful walls, monophonic furniture is placed and vice versa. “Zebra” and “chess” prints look good. For a combined or overly spacious room, the option is suitable when on the one hand the room is bright with dark furniture, on the other - black walls, floor, but the rest of the objects are white.

  • the background color in small rooms is usually made matte - light or medium saturated. For more spacious rooms, bright and shiny options are acceptable;
  • it is important to take into account the illumination of space and the side of the world - for the north, north-west side, the warmest, brightest tones are used. The same goes for narrow, cramped rooms with low ceilings. For spacious southern, southeastern rooms with a high ceiling, cold tones of varying degrees of saturation are used;
  • The kitchen is usually used as a “starting point” for a kitchen interior, since this is the most expensive part of a kitchen interior. In other versions, the main becomes wall decoration, textile decoration of upholstered furniture (if any).
