Style selection
Choosing a style to create a pink kitchen is pretty easy. This color is used by designers very actively in the design of modern interiors, and when using the traditions of country or retro.
Modern
The pink kitchen in a contemporary style is a high-tech space devoid of pretentiousness or luxury. It is characterized by a rejection of natural materials - they are replaced with plastic, chromed metal, glass. Modern style allows you to use the most active colors (puppet pink, fuchsia, raspberry) and do not go into kitsch and tastelessness.
You can apply bright accents both in the decoration of facades or countertops, and in the decor of walls, aprons.
The kitchen in a modern style in gray-pink tones looks more relaxed. This combination of colors fits harmoniously into the hi-tech direction, with it you can use glass and mirror inserts, chrome racks. The headset itself may have an unusual shape or design, but it will remain laconic-glossy, with facades without carvings and other decorations.
Eclectic
A mixture of styles - eclecticism - ideal for zoning space in complex combinations of kitchen with living room or dining room. Pop art elements are actively used here., large posters or skins can be placed, original furniture is used in the dining area. The combination of caramel pink or candy pink corner headset with the opposite podium repeating its color and shape looks interesting.
Mixing avant-garde solutions is better with a more concise modern or minimalism.
For example, bright and unusual furniture, a set to fit into a Japanese serene style with sakura-style trimmings, add graphics or accents with unusual lighting fixtures.
Provence
The most interesting version of the stylistic combination of a pink headset with the overall design of the space. French Provence is characterized by the use of a whitewashed, pastel color scheme. Delicate shades of dusty or tea roses are most often used here.. In addition, you can use classic pink, repeating the gentle shades of the flower petals.
In the Provence style, you can install a solid monophonic headset with painted facades, carvings, gilded twisted plates. In their form, cabinets should resemble classic sideboards, the use of multilevel modules is relevant.
In the decoration you can use patination, aging surfaces. On the walls and in the decor of home textiles, small floral ornaments, a cage or a vertical strip are welcome.
Ethnic
In the Arab East, pink is not the color of kitsch and candy, but an element of luxury. For the embodiment of ethnic style in the interior will have to choose expensive materials (wood, natural stone), use traditional twisted ornaments and patterns. Powdery shades of Moroccan ethnicity or delicate modulations of morning dawn in the decoration will harmoniously look in the frame of traditional spicy tones of cinnamon, vanilla, turmeric, hot pepper and tender turquoise.
Retro
A modern appeal to the retro style is rather a tribute to the pin-up era, the post-war years in America, where the active color scheme was in trend at that time. Raspberry ovens and refrigerators, juicy and thick undertones of pink in the design of facades and its whitened versions in the decoration of an apron, walls, floor - these are the elements by which today it is possible to recognize retrostylistics in the decoration of the kitchen space.
Also here you can skillfully beat the combination of the "old" massive headset and modern household appliances, use a bulk floor with vinyl sheen and matching cabinets with chairs and a plastic table. Retro can be very different - you just need to choose an era to your liking.
Rococo
The romantic, spacious kitchen-dining room in pink fits in perfectly with the rococo style. The elegance, coziness, comfort inherent in him is quite easy to translate into the decoration and layout of the headset, the design of the interior as a whole. The color scheme in the Rococo style will be as delicate and pastel as possible, with a share of carnival splendor and chic in the details.
Here, gilding, lush window decor, luxurious chandeliers, floors and pink marble countertops are appropriate.
The facades are not flat, but more complex: with chamfers, overlays, an interesting layout of the glazing.
Design features in monochrome
The design of the room in monochrome includes not only the design of the headset - the overall decoration of the room is no less important, especially for a small kitchen. When deciding in which colors to choose wallpaper on the walls, you should pay attention to pastel pale pink shades that go well with different styles in the decoration. You can use plain materials or stick the coating with small prints. For instance, The Victorian-style small kitchen goes well with a small floral design.
Wallpaper with drawings or textured materials well hide small irregularities, the paler their tone, the higher and lighter the room will look.
Against this background, you can install headsets in black and pink, quite bright and contrasting. If the kitchen is combined with the dining room or living room, it is better to apply the finish in more active colors for the work area, use a different texture of materials. It will be interesting to look at the option of painting or plastering the walls in fuchsia color.
Another interesting trick is creating a pink kitchen apron. It looks good colors such as pink-purple, candy. You can perform it in pale colors, if the headset itself is rich and bright.
The floor in such a kitchen is selected based on the general stylistic decision. For example, for country, classics and provence it is better to choose a parquet or a board of gray-pink tones, the colors of mocha. IN minimalistic style, loft, hi-tech Smooth or textured large format tiles harmoniously look. For retro kitchens You can choose glossy tiles in pink and black.
Ceilings in interior design are also of great importance. They can be neutral white with a matte / glossy texture or to match the headset, this solution will add volume.
Curly ceiling structures with different heights or two-tone options look interesting.
