5 secrets on the application in the interior of the kitchen

Tip 1. A win-win is a lilac in accents

In nature, lilac shades are not common, and designers in the color design of interiors prefer to adhere to the same principle.

If lilac cuisine is liked only by the boldest originals, then the kitchen with lilac accents, but designed mainly in a neutral range, will look universal, cozy and fresh. You can use as an accent: an apron, curtains, a lamp, upholstery of chairs, dishes or wall decor.

• In the interior of the kitchen, lilac, amethyst, lavender, lilac, purple shades look best in the form of textiles: upholstery furniture, curtains, tablecloths, napkins, cushion covers, lamp shades and rugs.

• Keep in mind that against the background of a cold lilac shade, for example, against the background of a purple apron, the food will look not very appetizing, but on a pinkish-lilac background - very nice. Therefore, decorating the working or dining area, try to choose the decor (curtains, apron, dishes) in a warmer shade of lilac. However, cold colors can also be "warmed up" by companion colors of warm shades and an abundance of wood textures (for example, the same lilac apron can be supplemented with a wooden countertop).

Tip 2. How to choose the right shades for decorating walls and large furniture?

If you want to buy a lilac kitchen or paste on all the walls a lilac wallpaper, here are some tips to take note:

• Kitchen in lilac color in its pure form is suitable only for very modern interiors in Scandinavian style or in the style of pop art. More universal option - a kitchen set with fronts of a gray-lilac shade. Both examples are shown in the photo below.

• To decorate the walls you can use wallpaper or paint of any shade from lilac to purple, but better just choose light tones that visually increase space and do not "eat" the natural lighting.

• When choosing wallpaper or paint for walls, consider that for kitchens facing north and poorly lit, more suitable pinkish shades, but for "southern" - any, including cold tones with an admixture of blue and blue.

Tip 3. How to dilute a lilac color

Whichever proportion you use the lilac color - in the role of the main or accent - it must be diluted with neutral shades.

• White color - perfectly combined with lilac, makes it fresh, elegant and not so dreary. White-lilac can be furniture, curtains, and wallpaper, and textiles. This combination is especially important for small and "northern" cuisines.

• Make the kitchen in lilac tones more comfortable with the abundance of natural brown and beige paints, for example, wooden and stone materials. So, for example, a light lilac kitchen in the photo below thanks to a wooden table top, wicker chairs, stone floor and white walls is quite harmonious in a country style setting.

Tip 4. The designer's secret weapon is a creamy shade of yellow, bronze and gold

As you know, the brightest and harmonious combinations of colors are obtained from two opposites of the spectrum. Lilac is a weakly saturated purple, so for him, as for his "parent the additional color is yellow. However, in pure form, yellow and lemon colors in combination with our hero will look too much contrast, so give preference to light, creamy shades.

• Bronze and gold - also look great in a pair with all shades of lilac. Furniture accessories, wallpaper elements, household appliances, cornice for curtains, photo frames and pictures, cutlery and other accessories will decorate the interior of the lilac kitchen. It would seem a trifle, but in practice this simple trick is very effective. The main thing here is to know the measure.

Tip 5. It also goes well with ...

So, we have already noted several successful combinations, and what other colors can harmoniously coexist with the object of our analysis?

• In the monochrome range - lilac, purple, phlox, amethyst, lavender, purple are combined with each other and with all related tones: purple, blue, pink and blue.

• In contrasting range: cold lilac can be combined with shades of red and orange in retro interiors in the style of pop art. But in combination with black color, light purple tones will look great in the interior of the kitchen in Scandinavian style. A good example of this design in the photo below.

• In a neutral range: with all natural colors - white, beige, brown, gray, green.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the green color, which in the natural environment is always surrounded by delicate flowers of lilac, phlox, lavender, bells, hydrangeas and other plants. As you know, nature is never mistaken in a colorist, so planning a kitchen design is mandatory dilute the main gamut green at least in the form of indoor plants and you'll see, the interior will be more cozy and alive.
