Bright kitchens in a classic style: nuances of design and interesting solutions

Many dream of decorating their kitchen in an elegant classic style, while giving preference to light shades. This option is indeed worthy of consideration, but not everyone is sure how the classic interior should look exactly, what tones and textures are suitable for a bright kitchen. You also need to know what type of headset and accessories to choose for this type of interior.

Classics - a direction that symbolizes wealth and reliability, and may also contain shades of luxury. A number of qualities can be singled out as the main characteristics of the style, each of which can be embodied in a bright kitchen.

• It is important that the furniture materials are natural. An array of wood is most often welcomed. Based on this idea, it is worth paying attention to light breeds. Thanks to such elements, the interior will look solid and expensive. It can be supplemented with curtains and textiles made from natural fabrics, such as silk.
• Good lighting is important for style. Large windows will be an added plus, but not all kitchen rooms have one. Therefore, pay maximum attention to artificial sources. Intense light with tints and highlights in this style is created using a luxurious pendant chandelier made of crystal. Such products often combine several fixtures, for example 6, so they are able to well illuminate the room. In a bright kitchen, such an elegant lighting fixture will look very organic.Just note that the suspension structure does not hang too low.
• An important feature of the classic style is respect for the proportions for each piece of furniture. Also, each detail must be in its place in order to organically combine with other components of the interior. You should not forget about this when planning the arrangement of equipment in the kitchen. Even modern devices go well with classic design, provided that they are not too strict forms.
• The decor in this case creates a festive atmosphere. It is aimed at additional emphasizing the relief, therefore, as examples, it is appropriate to consider such decorative elements of the classical direction as wood carving, stucco molding, forged details or even drapery of textile fabrics.
• In addition to all the colors of natural wood, the main shades in the classical style are beige, white, gold, bronze. The first two are usually used as the main ones, often appearing in the color of the wall covering. And bronze or gold may be partially present in furniture or accessories, adding a touch of luxury to the decor.
• It is important in this style to observe the symmetry and simplicity of forms, especially in furniture and textiles. Curtains, for example, should not be collected on one side or have too complicated design.

For the kitchen in the classical style, a fairly large number of types of headsets are presented, each of which can be decorated in bright colors.

• Classic version located along the wall, suitable for rooms not very large.
• Corner headset will fit into medium sized kitchens.
• U-shaped products relevant for large kitchens. Their working area is quite large, and part of it can be reserved for the placement of various household appliances. Sometimes even one of the faces of the headset can serve as a bar.

A bright kitchen in a classic concept may contain, in addition to a white hue, some other colors. They are designed in a natural range, are quite deep or pastel, but not flashy. If we talk about patterns, then natural wood stains are acceptable, as well as plant patterns and monograms.

The walls in the room may be white if the kitchen contains many different accessories. It is also permissible to fill the free wall space with the help of pastel wallpapers made in plain colors or containing an unobtrusive pattern, for example, a floral print.

If the place permits, bring liveliness to the interior of your kitchen, filling a separate section of it with a rich panel, stylized as the streets of an ancient city or showing a work of art.

It is also worth paying attention to the color scheme of such a kitchen area as apron. In the case of the classic light concept, it can be decorated with tiles to match the headset and other furniture, it can differ slightly from the main shade, for example, have the color of ivory. However, sometimes the classic style allows a contrast between this section and the kitchen palette. It may be brown or contain a darker pattern on a light background.

Often used as a coating mosaic made up of smaller fractions than tiles. This coating, as a rule, is painted in saturated colors and has a complex pattern, thereby standing out from the entire interior of the kitchen.

Since curtains most often play an accent role in a classic kitchen, their color should also stand out against the background of the general palette. However, in the case of this textile, the shade should combine with the gamut of the room: be either warm or cold. For example, in a kitchen with boiling-white walls, there may be blue curtains, while green or yellow are preferred for a room with a beige wall covering.

Many adhere to the monochrome design option in choosing a classic kitchen design. This method implies the dominance of one tone in the room. In the case of a bright kitchen, such colors can be: beige, milk, white, ivory. All of them are fairly neutral, but require that the main interior details do not stand out from the overall composition.

Therefore, first of all, it is worth paying attention to the design of household appliances. An element such as an extractor hood is indispensable for the successful functioning of the kitchen, and a special design is inherent in these units for placing in a classic style.

Having a light domed body, these devices stand out with exquisite carved baguettes made of hardwood, such as oak, able to withstand temperature extremes and high humidity. Sometimes the exhaust pipe is masked using a wooden panel made in the same style and color as the headset.

When it comes to the refrigerator, the best option is to disguise it in one of the niches of your headset. Some also stylize this device with a self-adhesive film, making the appearance of the device more consistent with the concept.

If you decide to arrange the kitchen in monochrome white, then you should pay attention to the floor. A prerequisite for the conformity of this interior concept is the presence of a wooden or wood-stylized flooring.

It is acceptable if its tone is slightly darker than the walls and the headset, however An additional plus to the organic will be its color matching apron. In such a room, a multi-level ceiling is permissible, but the main condition is the dullness of its surface, as well as not too complex forms of transition between levels.

If the kitchen windows face north, then it is better to choose warm shades of beige, such as wheat. When the light falls from the south side, you can decorate the interior with a cooler gray-beige color. Monochrome beige tone can be diluted with illumination of the working area, as well as the design of the apron in lighter colors. The floor may be brown or have small dark patterns.

If the kitchen-living room is executed in monochrome, then The best way to divide the space would be a wall partition, an arch or a luxurious sofa, set back to the kitchen area. At the same time, textile accessories, such as curtains, decorative pillows and a carpet, made in one scale, diluting the general monochrome concept, act as uniting zonal sections of the elements.

As a third zone in such rooms, a dining room can separately serve, where a wooden table and chairs with upholstery and carved details are usually located. Upholstery can also be in harmony with the aforementioned textile elements.
