Lime color kitchens: pros and cons, color combinations, examples

The color scheme in many respects affects our mood. Therefore, designers and furniture factories often choose calm and discreet shades for furniture that will not irritate, distract attention. But the monotony of calm, sometimes cold motives annoys over time. And therefore, bright and juicy shades are becoming increasingly popular.

Citrus and playful motifs create summer notes in the room. The monotony of the palette collapses at a glance at the lime-colored kitchen. Cooking in such a room ceases to be monotonous due to the magic of overflow of light and colors. After all, it is proved that bright colors contribute to the flight of fantasy and stimulate a creative impulse. And in rainy weather, this motive seems to take us to some island, where the surf is raging and palm trees are visible on the horizon.

Many still can not exactly get into the lime shade when choosing an interior for the kitchen. Someone more leaves in yellow, someone, on the contrary, in green or lime. But lime itself is brighter and more juicy, has impurities of each of the above shades.

Probably, many will think that lime, as a color in the interior, began to be used recently, when everyone was bored with simple, cozy, but without zest, white or pastel kitchenettes. But everything is not so, the first mention of this color was dated 1890. And another round of lime popularization occurred in the 60s of the last century. Indeed, amidst the severity of forms and the abundance of plastic elements, the lime shade was dynamic and filled the space with genuine energy.It turns out that history, like fashion, is indeed cyclical. And now more and more often people prefer a riot of colors in the choice of furniture.

But it is worth remembering that the lime color itself is far from simple, of the same type and light. He, like any other, has its own characteristics.

• Any shade from this palette has the peculiarity of expanding the space due to its natural depth. Therefore, this option is suitable for small kitchenettes.
• If you change the shades of companions against the background of lime, then every time a new design is obtained, and everything begins to play with other colors.
• Many designers propose to place a greater emphasis of this color on those walls where the least light enters. This, most likely, affects the psychological factor, there is a process of replenishing the play of light, because if everything around is gray and dark, then in this case the lime opens magically, filling up the space.
• Many people who have already applied this shade claim that it contributes to a good appetite.
• Lime color is part of the color line called “color therapy” and helps to combat feelings such as depression, stress, apathy and depression.

No matter how good the lime color would have, many still consider it a whimsical shade. In addition, which lime shade to choose, it is also worth looking at all the moves with combinations of other colors and textures. Consider what colors the lime color matches. Black and white are two unique shades that do not bother and almost always look harmoniously with any other shades. Therefore, many choose these two colors as companions to the main, in our case, to lime.

First of all, it is worth deciding what shade the headset will be. If white motif prevails in furniture, lime walls will be more juicy and deep. And if, on the contrary, lime shade is present in the furniture on a white background, then it will be bright and playful accents that will not bother.

If the design is dominated by black, then throughout the interior a strictness bordering on minimalism will be felt. But it is worth noting that the black color in combination with lime is not suitable for too small kitchens, or in this case there should be very little black, for example, it can only be headsets. After all, this composition of flowers is very deep and rich, and in a small space over time, a combination of these shades can “crush”.

In the Art Nouveau style, lime color is irreplaceable. It is used on a glossy facade.. Basically, there is a combination of lime cabinet furniture with some other shade, for example, white. This will be a winning option for corner kitchens. A variety of interesting prints, for example, flowers, grass, berries in a section - and all against a green background. The surface can be matte or glossy, and all this can be done on a glass surface.

Besides, a lime shade may not be the only bright solution; it blends pretty well with other juicy citrus shades. For example, you can choose two dominant colors - lime and orange, and with a diluting shade choose gray. Gray will have a relaxing and calming effect, as well as separate the two playful colors. With a light vanilla color or a light cream shade, lime color will ideally harmonize in the style of Provence or country. With the use of open wooden textures, the color becomes more delicate, and if you add accents to the shade of olive, lime will open in a new way.

The wooden facade may be the color of wenge or chocolate.It is not worth going into a too dark shade, as mentioned earlier, with dark shades the lime color becomes more saturated. This is not suitable for kitchens where I would like to use lighter and unobtrusive colors.

Combinations with colors such as purple, pink, fuchsia will also be good.. Of course, such combinations are not suitable for everyone, and not everyone will like the resulting picture. But if you like non-standard solutions, want to bring brightness and freshness to your life, then it's still worth paying attention to this option.

Perhaps in this case it is worth choosing lime-colored modular furniture, and for example, make the table an accent in fuchsia color (you can dilute such a flashy shade with a glass surface).

Before buying paint and furniture, it’s worthwhile to decide where exactly the lime color will be present. This will facilitate not only the work, but also the choice of all components for a perfect design. Most often, a solid, undiluted lime color is used in a kitchen apron.. If your design will be directed towards modernity or modern style, then the apron should be chosen from a material such as glass. If the apron itself is not lime in color, then you should choose shades such as lemon or peach.

Adding floral or fruit prints to the apron makes it no longer necessary to use any prints in the design, because then this will greatly complicate the interior, and the catchiness of small details will be slightly intrusive.

So that the lime shade does not bother, it can be combined with other colors. White blots will look good with lime. This can be a print on the front of the cabinet or on an apron (for example, a picture of a cut lime with mint leaves on a background of ice cubes). A white strip of apron against the background of bright cabinets with a rich lime shade will help expand the space.

For those who are annoyed by the abundance of bright colors, but at the same time want variety in a familiar setting, color accents are suitable. A good option is the bright facade of the cabinet, which will dilute the space and cheer up.
