Pistachio kitchens: types and interior design

The shade of pistachios - warm, unusual, non-trivial - is gaining popularity in the design of kitchens. It is both bright and saturated, with its help the kitchen seems to be filled with air.

Like any other design, the pistachio tone has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include:

• excellent compatibility with any style of interior - classic, high-tech, retro, pop art;
• in addition, pistachio is a great companion for any color from white to black;
• the shade tunes to positive and calms the nervous system, it is pleasant to be in such a kitchen;
• pistachio color stimulates appetite.

There are also disadvantages:

• the brighter the color, the faster it bothers;
• having clumsily arranged colors, you can get an inharmonious and flashy interior.

When choosing furniture for a pistachio kitchen, you should be guided by the rule of cleanliness of lines. Neither the headsets nor the dining group should contain excessive decor, it is better if they consist of straight or slightly rounded lines. Besides, furniture should not look too massive, as pistachio suggests lightness.

However, if you choose the option in which the walls, ceiling or floor are painted in a shade of green, and the kitchen set is made of wood and has a natural tone that matches the material, then it can be classically solid, weighty. But excessive details are still best avoided.

The set and the appropriate dining group should be chosen based on the style in which the kitchen is designed. The headset can be straight or angular, it does not matter. In a small kitchen, a corner model is better; in a more spacious one, a direct model or a kitchen with an “island”. Pistachio looks beautiful in kitchen sets with an integrated bar counter.

However, choosing this color for cabinets, shelves and the working surface of the headset, it should be borne in mind that it has the ability to visually make the surface that it paints, wider, thereby narrowing the room.

When choosing a kitchen set, including its shape, it is important to consider not only the size of the kitchen, but also its shape: a square, a rectangle, the presence of an arch and other features. Furniture should harmoniously fit into the room, hiding its shortcomings and emphasizing advantages. Therefore, before making a purchase or making an order for the manufacture of furniture, it is necessary, if possible, to draw a picture of the future kitchen by hand or on a computer, imagining what it will look like. In addition to the aesthetic component, it is necessary to take into account the moments of convenience:

• whether the door of the refrigerator, oven;
• whether all lockers will be freely accessible;
• whether it will be possible to comfortably sit on all sides of the dining table;
• how ergonomically the furniture will be arranged.

And only when the answers to all questions satisfy you, you can buy your favorite headsets and dining group.

If you are not a pro in interior design, it is better not to start with a monochrome pistachio. Diluting it with other tones is the right decision. The most common combinations are combinations:

• pistachio with white;
• with a brown scale;
• with black;
• with yellow;
• with orange;
• with turquoise, blue, azure;
• with gray.

Any tone of wood will look harmonious in the company of a pistachio - from walnut to wenge. The tree itself gives coziness and sophistication to any interior. It’s more correct to choose slightly darker shades of wood, the lightest ones, such as maple or ash, will make the pistachio visually paler. The darker the shade of the tree, the more vivid green will be revealed against its background.

If you want the kitchen to be truly catchy, choose black, preferably glossy, as your companion for pistachio. In modern styles, such a combination will look more interesting.

Yellow or orange is a very bright “company” for pistachio. It may be too bright for the kitchen, located on the sunny side, but for a small room with one window - this is an amazing option.

The tones of blue are very refreshing in the kitchen interior, but they must be handled with care. If the kitchen set contains a large number of metal fittings, then such a combination will not look too beautiful. If you chose the style of Provence, country, shabby chic or Mediterranean for the design of the kitchen, then such a color combination would be most welcome. This design should be avoided in rooms with windows on the north or west side, it tends to “cool” the room. If there is so little sun in it, then blue or azure can make the kitchen cold, uncomfortable.

You can "revive" the gray color with a pistachio, but it is very important to choose the right gray tone. It can be metal or wet asphalt, but too light shades will look pale. In order not to get into trouble, it is better to consult a designer when choosing colors.For those who have a small amount of time, ready-made combined options are on sale - kitchen sets, which combine both a pistachio and one of the listed shades.

Pistachio - a tone that goes well with any style of interior decoration. It can be a color accent on the walls - paint or wallpaper, ceiling or floor, or a kitchen with furniture. In the classical style, pistachio is always organic, because it is both soft, rich and warm. It goes well with wooden furniture, beige and pistachio kitchen - an excellent option for the classic design of the kitchen.

It is important to choose the natural shades of pistachios for design in this style. The indisputable advantage of choosing this color is the notes of modernity, which they bring to the classics, making it boring. By adjusting the degree of saturation and quantity of pistachios in the interior to the desired, you can get a cozy and attractive kitchen design.

Provence is another style that perfectly fits the pistachio tone. It can be taken as the basis of the interior by painting, for example, walls and floor. Or you can choose a headset of this color, and paint the room in a neutral tone, one of the shades of wood. You can mix them with lime, orange, azure, turquoise, in this case, bright accents will appear in the Provence style. However, it must be remembered that sharp color transitions are not what is characteristic of this style. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that all shades flow into each other smoothly.

The same rules are characteristic of country style. Here the pistachio will be a great color for kitchen textiles - curtains, tablecloths, towels, chair covers. It is important to remember that monophonic fabrics are not suitable for country, it is better to use a cage, strip, peas or geometric print.

If you prefer modern styles of interior decoration - pop art, hi-tech, stay on glossy dark textures as a companion for pistachios. Brilliant black or dark chocolate is what you need for a high-tech trend. And in pop art, you can mix vibrant colors as you wish. It is important to remember that for these stylistics large rooms are preferable, in a small kitchenette with a corner mini-set, bright colors will “clog” an already small area.

The original solution is painting the walls in pistachio, and a combination of such an interior with black and white furniture. And as accents pistachio colors, in general, can be added to any style, they everywhere bring an element of modernity and freshness.

If you want to decorate the kitchen in pistachio colors, it is very important not to “go too far” with the saturation and quantity of color. Having painted the walls in a delicate green tint, it is better to make the ceiling neutral - white or cream. However, you can add a pistachio and there, but only if the ceiling is two-or multi-level. One of the levels can be given a green tint, preferably not too saturated. The brighter the color of the ceiling, the lower it looks visually.

When when the walls and ceiling are painted pistachio, the furniture should be either the color of natural wood, or white or black (in modern interior styles, wet asphalt or dark chocolate is also acceptable). If you chose a pistachio as the color of furniture and a kitchen set, the walls, floor and ceiling should be neutral.

Let's see how you can arrange the kitchen in a pistachio palette:

• a kitchen with bright pistachio furniture of an unusual shape and color accents - lamps;

• the interior in the classic "rustic" style goes well with the light tone of pistachios;

• the combination of white and pistachio is classically true, but absolutely not boring;

• black and pistachio design and marble floor - original and very modern;

• corner kitchen with unusual lighting looks expensive and elegant.
