Features of beige and brown kitchens

The chocolate beige kitchen set is a piece of furniture that is considered the standard of classic elegance. Kitchens with a light top and brown bottom are in special demand, suggesting any color combinations with the environment. At the moment, no facade manufacturer misses the opportunity to display their products in this popular and highly sought after palette.

So, to create headsets in this range, various shades of beige and brown are taken. They have different subtones, so there is no need to talk about the boringness of the image. In general, such a combination gives the room a special noble and luxurious look, in addition, such an atmosphere gives warmth and comfort. It is worth understanding what is the secret of the perfect combination. To do this, it is enough to consider each color separately.

Beige is considered a neutral tone and is difficult to classify as a cold or warm palette. For this reason, it does not cause irritation, moreover, it balances any emotions, making the atmosphere at home calm and welcoming.

In fact, beige is the color of human skin, but it has many shades that differ from pure beige by fractions of a semitone:

• peach beige;
• lilac beige;
• yellow-beige;
• almond color;
• coffee with milk;
• creamy;
• caramel;
• cognac;
• pink-beige;
• Creme brulee;
• sand.

There are even lighter and darker neutral shades, as well as the especially fashionable shade of cappuccino.

In general, a brown tone can be considered a very dark shade of beige.And these are not all possible combinations. Therefore, some absolutely unfairly consider this color too simple and even dull. At the same time, it is able to increase appetite, as it is associated with cream, cocoa, chocolate cakes with cream. Other advantages of color in design: the ability to expand the space, as well as the predominance of natural naturalness, sometimes mitigating the disadvantages of the layout.

If we talk about brown tones in the interior, then a set of this color can act as a harmonious basis in a kitchen-living room or a separate kitchen sector. It is known that brown is most often associated with solid, natural wood, but not only. Like beige, it has a whole range of mouth-watering shades: iced coffee, dark and hot chocolate, coffee-beige tones, which can become the basis of a chic and elegant kitchen.

Additional advantages of the palette:

• combination with other colors;
• the ability to design in any style;
• perfect filling of small spaces.

Of the shortcomings, one can single out the need for regular cleaning of furniture, since the dirt on it is especially noticeable. A purely human factor can be considered a relative disadvantage - the conviction of many that such a combination is hackneyed and outdated.

Fortunately, manufacturers are well aware of the continuing interest in interior furniture of this color scheme, so they offer a variety of products that meet different requirements. Today, kitchen sets can be chosen from any suitable material.

Their facades are performed:

• made of wood;
• from fibreboard;
• made of polymeric materials

Of course, solid wood is always better, but it is not the cheapest option, which is why most buyers prefer plastic or MDF. In principle, plastic is based on the same compressed wood, but it is more varied in its beige and brown shades. The undoubted advantage of MDF is its great strength, durability and environmental friendliness of the material. On the other hand, the selection criterion in this matter will be compliance with the style of the interior, therefore both materials are relevant.

If there is a need to create a retro style or a classic look of the kitchen, you can resort to buying products using patination (artificial aging). For modern styles, it is possible to choose a headset with applying airbrush drawings. Often, the surfaces of the working area and dining table can be made of natural and artificial stone, while cabinets are often supplemented with metal fittings.

When choosing countertops, you should know some important points:

• even in a chocolate-cream kitchen, the headset panels can be white, they will give the room more light and lightness;
• dark chocolate tones set off the facades, softening sharp corners;
• natural and artificial materials of panels with a heterogeneous texture will accentuate the beige color and make the interior more natural;
• sometimes bright planes (lilac, green and red) against the background of woody and flesh colors look more advantageous and interesting than those similar to the main colors.

Probably, the most common model for combining linear and corner kitchens is a dark lower and upper light row, but at the same time there are other unbroken options. For example, frames, handles, ends, individual facade panels in dark shades on the main light beige. The downside of such models is rightly considered the need for frequent cleaning from contamination.

The soft tones of the headset in beige and brown can be successfully played in different styles. Let's take a look at the most attractive design directions.

Here you can use beige and coffee cuisine, since the direction suggests a lot of brown. It is recommended to decorate the walls with light beige. It is better to choose jewelry and decorative attributes in a red palette: it can be souvenirs made from natural materials, bright blankets.

In the Provence style, creamy tones, coffee with milk, crème brulee prevail, but some of the cabinets can be warm chocolate shades like wood or natural wood. You can complement the design with pale blue or greenish walls, curtains, napkins and tablecloths with medium-sized floral or plant designs.

A Mediterranean-style interior with a light beige suite requires the introduction of other colors: blue, white and olive. But the accent can be made on brown dining furniture. As a decoration, beautiful pots with indoor flowers, original dishes with greenery, stained glass windows on the front doors, panels and light mosaics over the working area are used. It is better to finish the floor with granite tiles with floral motifs, preferred colors: yellow, orange, eggplant, it all depends on the tone of other decorative details.

Modern styles (modern, high-tech, minimalism) also go well with brown tones. Such kitchens look comfortable and attractive, but for their design it is advisable to purchase headsets with glass facades, built-in appliances with chrome and metal surfaces, which give a beautiful and unusual gloss. Brown-beige tones are used only for individual pencil cases, lower pedestals and ends, but tabletops can be soft and light pastel shades. Curtains in such a kitchen are irrelevant.

For classics, the room should be medium in size, and large and spacious kitchens will look even more advantageous. Let's take a look at some tips:

• you should use a headset with a warm light top and a practical dark bottom, but a completely brown headset with cream-colored slats and frames is also suitable;
• some of the facades can be closed with glass or stained-glass windows without a color pattern;
• it is desirable that the ceiling be milky white, and the walls with a monochrome background and a barely noticeable ornament launched over it;
• saturated colors in this case are unacceptable, they can violate the elegance of the interior;
• floor coverings are chosen to match the tone of the lower row pedestals or in the same shade as the apron;
• light beige ceramic tiles will serve as an apron, on which you can run a brown or beige-coffee strip.

Certain design nuances will help make the room especially cozy:

• the surfaces of household appliances must be of the same color as the headset or made of metal or white material;
• artificial lighting in such a room is undesirable; lamps and lamps with yellow light are ideal here;
• the best accessories and decor elements are any decorations in the form of beautiful ceramic dishes, still lifes with a cup of coffee or coffee beans, fancy dark candlesticks, unusual vases to match the general direction.

If there is a lot of brown in the functional area, it should be used in a minimum amount for the dining room. In small and small areas, neutral shades of the gamut should prevail in the design. If you have a headset that combines flesh and chocolate shades, you need to choose light paint or striped wallpaper that makes the ceiling taller and the kitchen size wider.
