5 secrets for use in the interior of the kitchen

Secret 1. Use as an accent

If the purple kitchen is comfortable not for everyone, then the kitchen in neutral colors with purple accents can be called universal.

Accents can be: curtains, table textiles and tableware, chairs, apron or wall decor.

Tips:

An easy way to make a kitchen stylish is to use purple in textiles, namely in upholstery and curtains. Especially beautiful will be velvet and velvet.

Keep in mind that the more violet shade goes into the blue, the less appetizing the food on its background will seem. Therefore, choosing the dishes, apron or curtains for the decoration of the dining area or cooking zone, give preference to slightly pinkish shades like, for example, in the photo below.

In the next photo selection (scroll to the right) you can see other examples of the use of purple accents in the interior of the kitchen.

Secret 2. Using purple color in the array, it should be diluted

If you decide to use purple as the main color, here are some tips that might be useful to you:

This color becomes fresher and softer in combination with white in a ratio of 1: 1, and preferably 1: 2. White-purple kitchen is presented in the following selection of photos.

But how beautiful purple wallpapers look in the interior of a white kitchen.

To make such a kitchen more comfortable, you can use the abundance of woody textures.

For example, the purple kitchen will become much more comfortable surrounded by wooden floors, worktops and white walls, and purple walls will be a good background for a wooden kitchen.

Secret 3. With the help of purple you can create optical illusions.

As we have already noted, the color purple has the ability to visually distance, reduce, but to weight the pieces of furniture or any surface.

To visually "push apart" the walls in a small kitchen and slightly raise the ceiling, you need to make one wall purple, for example, glue the wallpaper, and paint the rest in white or another light color. Also, the ceilings will be a little higher if you make the ceiling itself with purple or the floor as shown in the photo, but this option is designed, perhaps, only for the most daring originals.

Secret 4. This color is especially well combined with yellow, as well as gold and bronze.

As you know, each color has its opposite in the color wheel, with which it can make the brightest pair. Our hero in accordance with this rule fits a lemon yellow color, but in the interior this combination is too sharp, so yellow is best used in lightly saturated, creamy shades, sometimes in mustard or ocher tones. Then the good-natured yellow will make the melancholic violet softer and more fun, and in his surroundings he will become more elegant and serious.

And it can also be a great backdrop for gold and bronze decor items or accessories - furniture handles, frames for photographs, dishes, cutlery, etc. The main thing here is not to overdo it with both, otherwise the noble combination will become fanciful.

Secret 5. Also goes well with ...

So, we have already noted that the culprit of this article is best combined with white and yellow, but here are some combinations that will also be successful:

In monochrome gamma: with its paler shades (lilac, purple, etc.), as well as close colors pink, blue, blue.

In a contrasting range: with his “parent” red and orange close to him (with great care). In combination with these colors, purple should have a cool tone.

In neutral range: with all the base colors gray, beige and brown, as well as all shades of green.

Separately, select the combination with black, since, on the one hand, they are perfectly combined, but on the other, in a pair they may look too dark and depressive. The photo below presents examples of black and purple kitchens that seem to us successful. As you can see, the right dose of flowers, the same white color and good daylight, even from such a risky duet, can make a fresh and stylish space.
