Features of beige and brown kitchens

Chocolate-beige kitchen furniture is furniture that is considered the standard of classical elegance. Kitchens with a light top and a brown bottom are in great demand, suggesting any color combination with the environment. Currently, no manufacturer of facades does not miss the opportunity to exhibit their products in this popular palette that is in high demand.

So, to create headsets in this range, various shades of beige and brown are taken. They have different subtones, so there is no need to talk about the boring image. In general, such a combination gives the room a special noble and luxurious look, in addition, such an atmosphere gives warmth and comfort. It is worth understanding what is the secret of the perfect combination. To do this, it is enough to consider each color separately.

Beige is considered a neutral tone and it is difficult to classify it as a cold or warm palette. For this reason, it does not cause irritation, moreover, balances any emotions, making the atmosphere of the house calm and friendly.

In fact, beige is the color of human skin, but it has many shades that differ from pure beige by a fraction of a semitone:

• peach beige;
• lilac-beige;
• yellow beige;
• almond color;
• coffee with milk;
• creamy;
• Caramel
• cognac;
• pink and beige;
• Creme brulee;
• sand.

There are even lighter and darker neutral shades, as well as a cappuccino shade that is especially fashionable now.

In general, the brown tone can be considered a very dark shade of beige.And this is not all possible combinations. Therefore, some absolutely unjustly consider this color too simple and even dull. At the same time, it is able to increase appetite, as it is associated with cream, cocoa, and chocolate cream cakes. Other advantages of color in design: the ability to expand the space, as well as the predominance of natural naturalness, sometimes mitigating the design flaws.

If we talk about the brown gamut in the interior, then a set of this color can act as a harmonious foundation in the kitchen-living room or a separate kitchen sector. It is known that brown is most often associated with solid, natural wood, but not only. Like beige, it has a whole range of mouth-watering shades: iced coffee, dark and hot chocolate, coffee-beige tones that can become the basis of a chic and elegant kitchen.

Additional advantages of the palette:

• combination with other colors;
• the ability to design in any style;
• perfect filling of a small space.

Among the shortcomings can be identified the need for regular cleaning of furniture, since the dirt on it is especially noticeable. A relative minus can be considered a purely human factor - the conviction of many that such a combination is battered and non-modern.

Fortunately, manufacturers are well aware of the enduring interest in interior furniture of a similar color scheme, so they offer a variety of products that meet different requirements. Today, kitchen sets can be chosen from any suitable material.

Their facades are executed:

• from wood;
• from fiberboard;
• from polymeric materials

Of course, solid wood is always better, but this is not the cheapest option, so most buyers prefer plastic or MDF. In principle, plastic is based on the same compressed wood, but it is more diverse in its beige and brown shades. The undoubted advantage of MDF is its high strength, durability and environmental friendliness. On the other hand, the selection criterion in this matter will be compliance with the style of the interior, therefore both materials are relevant.

If you need to create a retro style or a classic image of the kitchen, you can resort to buying products using patination (artificial aging). For modern styles, it is possible to choose a headset with drawing airbrushing drawings. Often, the surfaces of the working area and dining table can be made of natural and artificial stone, while cabinets are often supplemented with metal fittings.

When choosing countertops, you should know some important points:

• even with a chocolate-cream kitchen, the headset panels can be white, they will give the room more light and lightness;
• dark chocolate tones shade the facades, softening the sharp corners;
• natural and artificial materials of panels with a heterogeneous texture emphasize the beige color and make the interior more natural;
• sometimes bright planes (lilac, green and red) against the background of wood and flesh color look more advantageous and interesting than similar to the main colors.

Probably, the most common model of combining linear and corner kitchens is the dark lower and upper light rowbut at the same time there are other unbroken options. For example, frames, handles, ends, separate panels of facades of dark shades on the main light beige. The disadvantage of such models is rightly considered the need for frequent cleaning from pollution.

Soft tones of the headset in beige and brown tones can be successfully beaten in different styles. Consider the most attractive areas that can be used for design.

Here you can use the beige and coffee kitchen, as the direction suggests a lot of brown. Decorating the walls is recommended light beige. Jewelry and decorative attributes are best chosen in the red palette: it can be souvenirs made of natural materials, bright blankets.

The Provence style is dominated by creamy tones, coffee with milk, creme brulee, however, part of the cabinets can be warm chocolate shades of wood or natural wood. You can complement the design with pale blue or greenish walls, curtains, napkins and tablecloths with medium-sized floral or floral ornaments.

The interior in a Mediterranean style with a light beige set requires the introduction of other colors: blue, white and olive. But the emphasis can be placed on brown dining furniture. As decoration, beautiful pots with indoor flowers, original dishes with greens, stained-glass windows on the front doors, panels and light mosaics above the work area are used. It is better to finish the floor with granite tiles with floral motifs, preferred colors: yellow, orange, eggplant, it all depends on the tone of other decorative details.

Modern styles (modern, hi-tech, minimalism) also go well with the brown gamut. Such kitchens look comfortable and attractive, but for their design it is advisable to purchase headsets with glass facades, built-in appliances with chrome and metal surfaces, giving a beautiful and unusual gloss. Brown-beige tones are used only for individual pencil cases, lower pedestals and ends, but tabletops can be soft and light pastel shades. Curtains in such a kitchen are irrelevant.

For classics, the room should be medium in size, and large and spacious kitchens will look even more advantageous. Let's look at some tips:

• a headset with a warm light top and a practical dark bottom should be used, but a completely brown set with slats and cream-colored frames will do;
• part of the facades can be closed with glass or stained-glass windows without a color picture;
• it is desirable that the ceiling is milky white, and the walls with a monochrome background and a barely noticeable ornament launched over it;
• saturated paints in this case are unacceptable, they can violate the elegance of the interior;
• floor coverings are chosen to match the tone of the lower row of cabinets or in the same shade with an apron;
• the apron will be a light beige ceramic tile, on which you can put a brown or beige-coffee strip.

Certain nuances in the design will help make the room especially cozy:

• the surfaces of household appliances must be identical with the headset color or made of metal or white material;
• artificial lighting in such a room is undesirable; lamps and fixtures with yellow light are ideal here;
• the best accessories and decor elements are any decorations in the form of beautiful ceramic dishes, still lifes with a cup of coffee or coffee beans, fancy dark candlesticks, unusual vases to match the general direction.

If there is a lot of brown in the functional area, you need to use it for the dining room in a minimal amount. In small and small areas, neutral shades of gamma should prevail in the design. If you have a headset that combines flesh and chocolate shades, you need to choose light paint or striped wallpaper to make the ceiling taller and the size of the kitchen wider.
