Beige - this is one of the most win-win and universal colors, which can become the starting point in decorating the kitchen in any style. Beige kitchens, walls, wallpaper, floor, aprons, table tops, curtains, tables and chairs in neutral tones are appreciated by designers for their practicality, the ability to "calm" bright accents, "soften" the dark tones, bring a feeling of warmth into the atmosphere and combine with all colors spectrum. For those who are at the stage of planning the design of the kitchen or want to refresh the already formed beige interior, we prepared 3 tips for working with space, a list of the 9 best "companion colors" and 100 inspiring photos of kitchens in beige tones.

3 main tips

Beige color surrounds us everywhere, but it is so neutral that we can not notice it. In nature, beige is found in the form of sand, stones, shells, light wood, faded plants, in color animals... and even the color of our skin - this is one of the shades of beige, so it is combined with almost all colors rainbows. But in order to create the desired mood and style in your kitchen, you need to choose the right colors-companions.

• Color "beige" has more than 1000 variations - from light brown tones to cream. It can have a neutral, warm and cold temperature and it needs to be taken into account, making up the gamut of the interior.

1. Consider on which side the windows of the kitchen go

If the beige color is chosen as the main color, then the walls are often formed.

• When choosing wallpaper or shade of paint for walls, be guided by what side of the world the windows of the kitchen go. For "southern well lit with natural light kitchens, more suitable cold gray-beige tone, for "northern" and dark - light and warm sand, cream, straw, olive-beige shades.

The photo shows an example of how the walls of the kitchen can look in beige tones of cold and warm temperature.

.

However, this principle should be used not only when choosing the tone of wallpaper, but also when choosing a kitchen beige. In the following example, in the photo on the left we see a gray-beige kitchen warmed with wooden furniture, and on the right is a "warm" kitchen, which was "cooled" by glossy facades, glass and chrome parts.

• If you already have a beige interior kitchen, then, based on this recommendation, you can update it by adding cold or warm accents. For example, in this white-beige kitchen the role of "cooling" accents is played by a blue candle, a technique and an apron.

2. Create optical illusions by playing with shades

If medium and small kitchens need a visual increase in space, then large ones - in creating a chamber and a sense of coziness. In this very simple rules of coloring help:

• Warm tones have the property visually slightly approximate and facilitate, and cold (even in dark color) - a little to distance and weight objects and objects.
• In addition, do not forget about the well-known principle: light tones increase space and make it lighter, and dark ones reduce and absorb light.

It is clear that according to these points, for light kitchens, a lighter scale and light "companions" a combination of dark and light tones (photo above), but you can go even further and create a winning optical illusions.

Suppose you wanted to design a small kitchen in a classic style in a beige-brown range, then you can do the following: paint the walls (or glue the wallpaper) with a light beige paint, choose a white set and dilute this white and beige idyll with an apron, table top and brown floor with a cold podtonom. In this combination, dark brown, without which it is difficult to do in the traditional interior, will not "eat" space, but rather expand it, creating the effect of depth. An example of such a technique is shown in the photo below.

But a great idea how you can beat a niche. The walls here are decorated in warm beige, a set in an ecru, and the apron in the niche is in light gray-beige. Because of the game of cold and warm colors, the optical illusion of wall separation was created.

In spacious kitchens, a warm atmosphere will be helped by warm shades of beige, which fill the space more actively and create a sense of harmony. However, overdoing the heat in the atmosphere is also not worth it, because a few cool shades will make it fresh and more interesting, as, for example, in the interior This kitchen-dining room in the photo below, where the beige curtains, upholstery of furniture, wallpaper, wooden set "cool" with white and gray-brown "Flower companions."
