The combination of colors in the interior of the kitchen, without any exaggeration, is the most important thing! You can spend a lot of money on decoration, buy expensive furniture and accessories, and in the end, get something colorful and completely unattractive.
In this article, we will tell you and show you simple examples how to choose colors.
You will not find any abstruse terms, such as "monochrome", "achromism" here. No theory and incomprehensible reasoning!
Let professional designers use it, and we will go the other way: we will start from the color of the main piece of furniture, and already try on it various options contrasts. And along the way to argue what is good and what is bad.
We are sure that among the variety of proposed examples, you will certainly find something suitable!
Basic rules for combining colors in the interior
The basic rules for combining colors in the interior are as simple as two or two: do not try to embrace everything at once and do not use all the colors you like at the same time!
It sounds simple, doesn't it?
But, when it comes down to it, this is what begins: “Or maybe buy an apron for this red tabletop, in a lilac-coral tone? Or, in orange-red? Or, in terracotta brown? No? Bust? Then maybe buy purple chairs and curtains?
As a result, it turns out what we said initially: overload with bright elements that form a chaotic mess in which not a single object "plays".
And no matter how hard it is, you need to highlight something ONE, What would you like to pay attention to first of all!
How exactly to do this, we will tell a little below, and now we will reassure those who want everything at once.
For such cases, there is a beautiful Boho style, which we will also talk about later, in the corresponding subsection. Excesses are welcome there and you don’t have to worry that you overdo it.
Rule 60/30/10
And here is another rule, more specific and most useful. Perhaps, besides him, an amateur should not bother with anything else, since it works 100% effectively.
Law 60/30/10 means that the interior should have no more than 3 colors, and their distribution is as follows:
60% - dominant color
30% - additional color
10% - accent
Here attention!
The dominant color is not at all the one that is your favorite and that you want to apply everywhere.
Dominant - this is the background color on which other colors will be clearly visible: additional and the most important, on which you want to focus.
For example, if you really like the color red, then in order to make it noticeable, but at the same time unobtrusive, you need only 10%. And nothing more.
Very good The meaning of this law is shown in the photo below.. Unfortunately, this is not, but the main thing here is to show you the rule with a live example:
As you can see, following this rule, we we get an interesting effect.
The room is essentially beige and brown, but we see it as yellow!
And, if you make an accent overload, then the view will turn out something like this:
Looking at this photo, I remember: “Horses, people mixed up in a bunch ...” ©.
And somehow we are sure that interior host I wanted to emphasize the red color, but I just went too far.
And in the end, against the background of this brightest red spot, neither kitchen furniture, nor a stylish hood, nor beautiful tiles on an apron.
Of course, there are designers who will immediately say: this is not bad taste, this is just a monochrome interior (that is, in which there is one color and all its shades).
But, you yourself understand that this is just a beautiful theory and words. But in fact, we see just a red spot, from which it hurts the eyes.
So, you have to think carefully and decide what is really important for you.
And one more thing: the rule of three colors does not mean that you need to choose only three colors.
It means that 3 colors are allowed.
That is, if your wall is light beige as a background, then the floor can be made dark beige, and the carpet is almost white. But, all these shades need to be laid in 60% of the original percentage.
The same applies to the second color and accent. But, here, too, without fanaticism. A run of two or three tones will look organic, but a big contrast is already like two different colors.
Naturally, the room will not do without the fourth, fifth color. No other way. But, their share should be very small.
We identify the most important subject on which we would like to focus
So where do we start? Of course, with the choice of the detail or object that you consider the most important and beautiful of the whole environment.
It could be:
- wall decoration
- Finishing work apron
- Kitchen furniture
- Stylish accessories
- The latest home appliances
As much as you would like, but you need to choose one thing on which you want to focus. And it is this element that should include the main color that you are focusing on (in a ratio of 10% of the rest).
Let's say you have an incredibly beautiful work apron on the wall, red.
Then, you focus on it, and add a little more red in the form of inclusions to the rest of the details: a small inclusion of red in the chandelier, paintings, decor.
Very small, mind you! So that in total you get only 10% of red.
But, let's look at each moment in more detail.
Starting from wall decoration
If you dream of an unusual and catchy wall decoration, then you have to say goodbye to the idea of too bright furniture, catchy accessories and unusual flooring. Walls that are decorated pretentiously are very obliging.
And so that they can be carefully considered, you will have to give up the rest of the things and choose them as neutral as possible in appearance and color.
If you are ready to lose all this for the sake of colored walls, then go for it!
If you want to emphasize the intentional asceticism of the walls(for example, just white, without decorations and other embellishments), then you need to select contrasting accessories, against which white wall will look very appropriate and elegant.
This refers to paintings, chandeliers, shelves, etc.
Walls in white
The combination of white color in the interior of the kitchen is possible with almost any color of the spectrum.
But, if white is taken as a background color, then the best second color is the light color, natural wood. And already an accent - whatever.
To come up with something better is simply impossible!
With this classic combination, almost any accent will be appropriate, except for dark brown and black.
But if black is made the second color, and the tree is an accent, then a very elegant look comes out!
In a word, the combination: white wall + unpainted wood is a classic that is good in any interpretation.
Colored walls (wallpaper, ornaments, etc.)
If you have catchy walls, then the furniture should be as simple and unobtrusive as possible. Otherwise, these walls will simply blend with the cabinets and there can be no talk of any elegance.
The combination of colors in this case should be something like this: a colored wall and plain furniture, moreover, in a contrasting color, and not in one color scheme.
The best option for the second tone in this case:
- White
- Grey
- Brown
- Black
If you find it difficult to find a good contrast for the second tone, then you can use the color matching spectrum.
Moreover, it is better to do it online, on a special service: https://colorscheme.ru
There you can choose both contrasts and mono-color colors.
If you figure out how to use this site, then you will never again be faced with the question of how to combine colors in the interior of the kitchen.
Walls lined with stone
A stone wall is a very bright element of decor that goes well with nothing other than white and light beige.
Any other color will simply "kill" the natural color of the stone, and it will not look expensive.
But if the stone itself is white, then it is easier in terms of selecting the second color. But, here you still need to take into account that not every material of furniture or other finishes is combined with stone.
No plastic, MDF, metal - can no longer be here. Only natural materials and the simplest possible design.
Walls with plaster molding or drawings
If there is molding on the wall, then it is best that the main background is white. The stucco drawing can be absolutely any and it is better that its color is accented, that is, it is only 10%, which we talked about above.
From work apron
A bright work apron is such a detail on which a lot depends.
If you make colorful walls at the same time, then its beauty will fade. The same applies if the kitchen furniture is matched to the tone of the apron.
For example, now quite popular combinations are: a colored apron from tempered glass and bright kitchen.
It's ugly, to put it mildly. And too intrusive. Here's what it looks like:
If you have a colorful kitchen, then no colorful aprons! This is the law.
If a colored apron, then no bright kitchens. It is important.
Here is how a colored apron looks in combination with neutral furniture:
There is a difference, right?
And now, look at how the aprons look in terms of colors. We have selected the most successful combinations and interiors with the desired color.
Aprons in red colors
Red color does not tolerate the presence of many shades of its spectrum side by side. That is, pink, coral, burgundy, etc.
Only the right contrast is combined with red, or black, brown, gray and White color A. The latter is a win-win choice.
Also, mirrors are wonderfully combined with a red glossy finish.
Aprons in blue and blue tones
Blue really "loves" the white background color and natural, unpainted wood as an additional, second tone according to the formula of three colors.
But blue, without any additives, is not the best option.
Blue is best used as a complementary color as it is too light to be accented.
And so, it looks great paired with: light green, lilac, white and black.
Aprons in green tones
Green goes well with yellow. If we are talking about shades of green, such as pistachio, olive and others, then yellow should be in their color scheme.
That is, sand and mustard are suitable for olive, and not pure yellow. Well, it also goes well with white, just perfect.
Aprons in orange and yellow
Orange is "friendly" with light green. Very good and fresh combination. Brown also goes well with orange. You definitely should not combine orange with yellow, blue, purple, lilac.
Aprons made of natural materials
Here we can say the same as about the decoration of the walls with stone. If you have an apron made of marble, then match the furniture or floor to the color of its veins.
If from granite, then the same window sills can be made in color. In general, once again duplicate the material somewhere, not exceeding 10%.
Aprons with ornaments
If you have an apron with some kind of ornament, for example, with an oriental one, then it would be good to duplicate it either in curtains, or in tiles on the floor or in a chandelier. It’s not worth it to “shove” it everywhere, otherwise exorbitant variegation will come out.
Furniture and walls should all be neutral colors and textures.
Starting from the color of the countertop
From the color of kitchen furniture
The combination of colors in the interior of the kitchen, most often depends on what kind of furniture you have.
Of course, if you are designing from scratch and have not bought anything yet, then it is easier for you.
But if the furniture is already there, then you need to “dance” only from it and there are no other options, since it occupies a large space and is the second, auxiliary color.
Unpainted wooden kitchen
As a backdrop for such a kitchen, the best are white walls.
And as accents - any colors, except for brown and dark orange. They will almost merge with natural wood.
White kitchen
White furniture looks great on the walls of a contrasting color. That is, if kitchen furniture is our 30%, then the background is 60%.
What color is white combined with - there is no point in listing, since it is combined with absolutely any color!
Kitchen in red tones
Pairs very well with in gray, stainless steel and mirror surface.
Also, it creates a good contrast with black, but it should be no more than 10%, otherwise it will be very dark and gloomy.
In addition, the red kitchen goes well with blue and white. This trio resembles marine colors and looks very fresh.
And here's a great option. white and red cuisine. Here, although the percentage balance of colors is not observed, it still looks pretty nice.
Brown kitchen
Brown - the color is very capricious and does not tolerate almost any neighbors, except for white and beige.
The rest of the colors must be applied very carefully, otherwise, all the beauty of the brown kitchen will fade against a bright background.
Also, remember this: if you have brown furniture, then the floor must certainly be light. Otherwise, the view of the room is dark, and sometimes even sloppy.
Kitchen in blue tones
Blue kitchen should not be combined with any colored walls. The maximum is a barely noticeable gray-blue tone of the wall. Better yet, just white.
Against other backgrounds, the blue just doesn't look as bright as it should.
Kitchen in green tones
This is a very bright kitchen if the color is saturated. It is better, of course, to choose either olive or pistachio furniture colors.
But, if you already have a bright one, then blue or lilac can act as an accent to it, and light yellow or white can be the background.
Kitchen in lilac tones
Lilac furniture goes well with light green, olive and khaki shades.
Also, lilac is combined with maroon, white and black. Sometimes, a pink accent looks good, but if there is an additional, the fourth color is black.
yellow kitchen
Sunny, goes well with a light green accent, lilac, and also red. And as a background - perfect white. However, he is always perfect.
Starting from accessories and textiles
If your main goal is to emphasize the presence of beautiful gizmos, then just paint the walls white and lay a regular, wooden floor on the floor.
No more decorations needed! Kitchen furniture in this case should also be as natural and discreet as possible: painted or unpainted wood, white plastic.
Not many styles are rich in accessories and textiles.
These are country options and ethnic. It makes no sense to list all of them, we will consider only a couple of the most popular destinations.
Provence style accessories
Under accessories in the Provence style, wood painted in blue, blue and green and forged elements painted in black are suitable.
There is nothing more to add, since the accessories and colors of the curtains are varied and here your task is simply to correctly combine them with each other.
Among them, there should also be something background: for example, textiles (curtains, a tablecloth interspersed with an accent), and the rest of the decor should contrast with them. There should be little emphasis.
Accessories in the style of "Boho"
And here you can roam to the fullest! Boho is the style of Czech gypsies living in Bohemia.
Everything is appropriate here: walls painted in several colors, and at the same time a lot of incongruous accessories, different textures of furniture and finishes.
In "Boho" it is impossible to overdo it, rather, on the contrary.
If you don't clutter up the room enough, then the stylish look will not come out, and the kitchen may look simply tasteless. But if there is a clear excess in everything, then the look is stylish, oddly enough.
In conclusion, I would like to say: the combination of colors in the interior of the kitchen is not as difficult as it seemed! We hope you found our selection helpful.
Kitchen color scheme key moment while creating home interior. Properly selected shades can visually expand the space and raise the ceilings, “refresh” the room and make it more cheerful. But how to choose the right color palette for the kitchen? What do experts advise?
How to choose a kitchen color: basic rules
It is necessary to determine the prevailing shade of the kitchen taking into account personal preferences: the color should be comfortable for the household and not cause hostility among any of them. Despite the fact that the problem of choice is almost entirely in the plane of individual views, there are a number of rules that always work. Here they are:
- Dark and warm colors make the kitchen more cozy and homely.
- Bright colors and their shades contribute to increased appetite.
- Combination of pink and gray perfect option to reduce the feeling of hunger.
- The combination of contrasting shades has an invigorating effect on the nervous system, exciting and stimulating the nervous processes.
When forming the interior, it is necessary to take into account the spatial possibilities of the kitchen. And if in large rooms color restrictions practically do not work and open up a wide field for experimentation, then the design of a small room requires accuracy and care. First of all, you need to remember:
- the best choice for a small kitchen is light warm colors;
- it is undesirable to use more than two primary colors;
- small drawing visually enlarges the room;
- vertical lines make ceilings appear higher;
- horizontal outlines visually expand the area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen, but “lower” the ceilings.
It is very important to maintain a balance between the color scheme of the kitchen interior and the "climate" in the apartment. If the windows face the sunny side, it is better to give preference to cold tones - green, blue, lilac, blue. To decorate a room in which the sun rarely looks, you should use warm shades - red, peach, beige, yellow, orange.
The tones in which the kitchen is sustained not only help to bring the design idea to life, but also create a certain psychological mood among the residents. To choose really “working” colors, you need to listen to the advice of psychologists.
| Color | Keywords | Main impact |
| Red | Extraversion, assertiveness, aggression. |
|
| Pink | Tenderness, insecurity, lightness. |
|
| Orange | Movement, speed, activity, cheerfulness. |
|
| Yellow | Warmth, sun, cheerfulness, positive. |
|
| Green | Balance, naturalness, renewal, growth, energy. |
|
| Cyan/blue | Relaxation, security, trust, fidelity. |
|
| Indigo | Truth, intelligence, help, creativity. |
|
| Violet | Wealth, power, sensitivity. |
|
| Brown | Stability, security, confidence. |
|
| Black | Mourning, night, elegance, sophistication. |
|
| White | Clarity, openness, purity. |
|
"Fearlessly" nervous system can perceive slightly softened shades. It is not necessary to decorate the kitchen in the style of "pull out your eyes": the prevailing bright red or flashy orange can ruin any idea, causing rapid emotional fatigue for the inhabitants of the apartment. The same applies to plain white, black, brown or indigo: these colors are recommended to be used only as separate accents, combining with other shades.
Bright aggressive tones are best used by active people with an extrovert type of character. In this case, the color will not put pressure on the psyche, but, on the contrary, will provide the necessary support to the emotional state.
Particular attention should be paid to pink: it is ideal if the owner of the kitchen often feels insecure. By choosing this tone as the main one, you can create a truly cozy place in which every household member will feel comfortable.
If there is any doubt about best color for the kitchen, green should be preferred. It is considered the most pleasant shade for the human eye and will make the atmosphere in the room fresh and peaceful.
Kitchen set color: how to choose the right one
Choosing kitchen set, you should remember these "basic" design tips:
- One kitchen set - a maximum of two contrasting colors.
- The top tier of furniture should be lighter than the bottom.
- Furniture can be designed in several colors, but with only one dominant tone.
- In a small kitchen, a monochromatic set of discreet colors that are pleasing to the eye looks best (a combination of dark and light brown shades can be used).
- Bright set - light walls, and vice versa.
- An overly dark set without the “participation” of delicate shades looks gloomy.
- The ideal colors for the kitchen are natural and natural.
- Add comfort big room A few catchy accents will help.
- In a small room, it is better to avoid dark saturated shades.
- A kitchen set should please its owners.
When choosing the color of furniture, first of all, you need to be guided by your own taste, but you should not ignore the generally accepted combinations either. The following combinations are considered classic:
When deciding what color the kitchen set will be made in, you should always try to look at the situation “from the outside”. How harmonious does the combination of shades seem? Isn't it too flashy? Will it be comfortable to stay in the room for more than half an hour?
Modern style prefers bright colors. But when in doubt, it is better to abandon catchy saturated colors in favor of proven classic ones. Exquisite restraint is always relevant, and it is impossible to make a mistake by choosing it. If you want to take a chance and create a fashionable accent in the room, you need to act carefully: it is better to choose white as the main tone, and bright orange as an additional tone, than vice versa.
A beautiful kitchen is a prerequisite for creating a comfortable home environment. It is enough to choose the right colors so that family dinners become even more pleasant, and the reception of guests brings only pleasure to both parties.
- White- Goes well with almost all colors. Best with blue, red and black; - Beige- suitable for blue, brown, gray and white; - Grey- a neutral color that can be the base.

Color plays a huge role in human life, it affects well-being, mood, performance, relationships. The kitchen is an important part of our home, we spend a lot of time there, so choosing the color of the walls for this room should be taken seriously.
Basic rules for choosing wall colors for the kitchen:
- A large drawing visually reduces the size of the room.
- Small drawing, on the contrary, makes the room seem more spacious than it really is.
- Geometric patterns on the walls of the kitchen in the form of intersecting stripes, like the ornament on Scottish kilts, create the illusion of a continuous space.
- The vertical pattern "raises" the ceilings, visually "increasing" the height of the room.
- The horizontal pattern and horizontal stripes on the walls "expand" the kitchen while reducing its height.
- Diagonal lines on the walls bring dynamics to the interior of the kitchen, creating the illusion of movement.
- Textured wallpapers look very extraordinary. By endowing the surface of the walls with new qualities, they are able to create an additional dimension in the room. Thanks to the play of shadows and partial shadows, curious color nuances and unexpected alternations of textures, you can get a lot of interesting effects.
- By when choosing the color of the kitchen, do not forget about your own tastes and preferences.
- Undoubtedly, the kitchen set must be in harmony in color with other design solutions for the room: ceiling, walls, floor. However, first of all, its color should cause you only positive emotions.Psychologists do not get tired of repeating that the coloring of the things around us directly affects the character, mood, well-being and even performance.
Perhaps, there is not a single hostess in the world who does not dream of seeing her kitchen not only functionally comfortable, but also as attractive and cute as herself. The kitchen is the pride and place of the reign of every woman, but what if the entire kitchen realm fits into a “handkerchief” up to 8 sq.m.? Exactly! Plan the correct and convenient arrangement of furniture and think in advance which color of the kitchen to choose for a small kitchen.
Color will help expand the kitchen without redevelopment
If redevelopment of walls in a small kitchen is not included in the main task overhaul(combining with the living room, using the balcony area, etc.), then it is worth considering design options with a play on the colors of the walls and furniture, resorting to a small visual trick, in which you can get visual magnification kitchen kingdom.
Every woman knows that light colors visually expand the space (figure), blurring the boundaries, and dark ones, on the contrary, make even large objects less noticeable. But a black square in the middle of a white field tenaciously attracts the eye (remember from Malevich!) And does not rest the eye, therefore, from dark colors in design for a small space limited by kitchen walls, it is more logical to use “darkened” pastels.
As a bonus, at the final stage of our design project, we can quite afford to add a couple of bright, saturated smears to the interior to contrastly emphasize the light cleanliness of the updated kitchen.
White-white-white color ...
The ideal color for purity is white. But the kitchen, where the walls and interior items are pure white, looks more like a surgical ward than a cozy kitchenette, and this design looks frankly boring. In addition, to keep such a kitchen in in perfect order rather difficult for the hostess.
If this color of the walls and the headset is fundamentally important, then try to "dilute" it with variations of pearl, cream, silver, ivory or beige. These colors can be chosen not only as a wall covering, but also for facade panels kitchen set, dishes and curtains, furniture colors.
Spring in the kitchen on a white base
If you decide on a color combination of white and another color, then here you can dream up: white is the perfect neighbor for anyone! Bright, saturated, local colors are a great choice, but we have already agreed to focus on bed colors.
The first in line will, of course, be pearl gray - combined with white - the color of true nobility and discreet design of walls and furniture. True, this design will not give the kitchen the desired freshness, it is better to turn to spring blues, yellows and greens. The freshest, most juicy shade of spring green will, of course, be light green.
Advice! Design made in white combined with light green in kitchen interior revitalize, refresh and expand small room, will give it a "spring fragrance".
White and light green. What more?
The right of the dominant can be assigned to any of these selected colors, using them as the main wall covering or the main color for furniture will not spoil the impression, given that all shades of green give rest to the eyes and reduce psychological stress, while white sets you in a peaceful mood and stimulates appetite which is important for the kitchen.
Flower placement options
It is not at all necessary to color the walls in a white-green mattress! You can bring one or another color into the interior due to the glossy surfaces of walls and facades, reflective mirror panels and air curtains, choose furniture and sets of appropriate colors in the kitchen.
Advice! Useful herbs growing on the windowsill in white flowerpots can successfully serve as a white-green decor.
Another solution: place these colors on the doors of the headset in a checkerboard pattern and “dilute” their rows with transparent facades. You can make the upper part of the hanging cabinets and shelves of the headset pure white (light green), and close the lower cabinets with light green (white) panels.
Change kitchen apron
A beautiful color will also help to “revive” a small kitchen. kitchen apron- a traditionally tiled place on the wall behind the sink and stove, under wall cabinets headset. You can repeat the white and light green colors when laying the tiles of a new apron, but it is much more interesting to repeat the color of the floor on the wall.
Another design - skinned. This is a large plate of tempered glass, on which photo printing is applied. in a special way, and the picture on the glass can be made according to your order in the colors and tones you want.
Floors in the spring kitchen
To maintain a sense of freshness and separation of space, you should choose the color of sand or wild stone. Tile or linoleum of an unobtrusive light gray color will only set off a shade of light green. A floor painted in the same light green color of a more saturated tone than pastel will look juicy and unusual.
Advice! When choosing the color of the floor, remember: dark green, bright mint or marsh brown will “eat up” all the freshness of the resulting small kitchen space.
Lighting in a bright kitchen
To emphasize the design spring, you should take care and correct lighting able to highlight our design. Buy a chandelier flower bouquet or replace the old ceiling lamps with others interspersed with juicy green and other bright colors that stand out against the white ceiling and play with color highlights on the gloss of the furniture.
You can completely abandon the chandelier, replacing it with spotlights that will be reflected in the glass panels, giving a white-green kitchen holiday look, and give the impression of dew drops scattered everywhere.
- Want to add color to your kitchen and make it even wider? Make a few horizontal stripes of orange, yellow or scarlet: and the kitchen literally "opened".
- Do you want to "raise" the ceilings? Stripes of olive or pistachio color, arranged vertically - at your service!
To keep the kitchen from being "cold"
If you are satisfied with the “light green on white” color of the walls and you are not a fan of avant-garde furniture, add a couple of vases with a bright pattern, designer original lamps or sconces, or a modular picture on the wall. Good design solution- color screen, when part of the wall or one wall is completely contrasted or with a pattern.
We select furniture
Considering that the kitchen set is already in place, we must try to install the necessary furniture in the remaining volume: a dining table, chairs, etc. In order for this furniture to fit into new interior harmoniously, you should not only think about their correct placement, but give them correct color. What it will be - white, light green, sand - you decide, but in any case, the color should be glossy and fit into the design of the room.
Advice! Good opportunity do not give the small spring kitchen the look of a cluttered room - transparent table surfaces and chairs made of transparent plastic.

The effect of color on space
When choosing color palette it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the kitchen.

In a small kitchen, dark tones that optically reduce the room, as well as an abundance of bright colors that quickly tire the eyes and psyche, will be out of place. The optimal solution for small kitchen- visually pushing the boundaries of unobtrusive light shades and pastel colors. In order to create a more welcoming and cozy atmosphere on a large and spacious kitchen, on the contrary, you need a rich dark gamma.
