White facades can be either matte or glossy - both options will be aesthetic, elegant.

This is due to the fact that dark scales seem to many to be depressing, gloomy.However, if you correctly manage the black color and beat it beautifully, then you can get a very beautiful and fashionable interior ensemble that does not cause discouragement.

- Yellow. The kitchen sets executed in yellow color look positive and attractive. Such furniture sets are most often preferred by cheerful and energetic people who are not afraid of experiments. Often yellow is combined with neutral beige or white.
But you need to take into account that over time, the “sunny” shade can get bored and you want to change it.

Interesting in the kitchen can look corner headsets complemented by beautiful prints. Various images can be applied to certain details of the facade, for example, on the doors of some cabinets. Sometimes prints cover the surfaces of all facade bases. Beautiful images may be on the surface of the apron.
For the kitchen most often choose unobtrusive natural prints. It can be flowers, butterflies, intricate patterned lines, fruits, berries and other similar things that fit into the decor of the room. It is desirable that the prints have colors that resonate with the rest of the gamut in the interior. Then the situation will be more harmonious and balanced.
How to combine colors?
The design of the kitchen space should be approached with all responsibility. The room should not cause irritation, excite the emotional state of the household, so it is important to correctly combine all the colors and shades in the interior.
In no case can the entire kitchen be done in one color, even if it is neutral (for example, beige). The interior will be boring, all the details will merge into one big spot. If the headset and wall decoration are made in one palette, then furniture is better to pick up a couple of tones darker or lighter. An apron and countertops should contrast with the primary color of the furniture set.
For example, against a black headset, the working surfaces of beige, cream, light gray or white will look beautiful and organic.
If the corner kitchen set is made in lighter colors, they should be diluted with contrasting palettes of saturated, dense shades. For example, a white furniture set will look much more interesting if it is equipped with countertops in gray, black, brown or a shade of wenge. The same can apply to fittings.
If we are talking about headsets of saturated and bright colors, for example, red, green or yellow, then they should be diluted and balanced with calm scales. Beige, white, caramel, cream colors or a universal shade of ivory will do.
Often contrasting colors collide on the surface of the facades of the upper cabinets and lower drawers. Combined palettes are able to emphasize the beauty of furniture, to place accents. White-red, white-orange, black-and-white, yellow-white, graphite-orange, gray-green, white-violet tandems are popular today.
