Burgundy kitchens: color combinations and design options

Today, there are practically no restrictions on the choice of style and color for kitchen sets. But still, traditional colors remain a priority. For those who want to diversify their own interior and are not afraid of bright solutions, designers recommend taking a closer look at burgundy shades. They are noble, they speak of the good taste of the owner. But the most important thing is that such an interior turns out to be unique and stylish.

Even before starting repair work or buying a burgundy kitchen, you need to understand what advantages this choice gives. It will be nice to figure out what kind of troubles may await you.

1. Practicality... This is one of the most important parameters when choosing a color for a kitchen. After all, it is here that life is constantly in full swing, food is prepared and the whole family gathers at the table. Contamination cannot be avoided. But thanks to the rich burgundy color, they will not be conspicuous and spoil the whole picture.
2. Relevance... Shades of burgundy have become classics for a long time. Therefore, you can not be afraid that in a couple of years your interior will become unfashionable or will be perceived as remnants of the past.
3. Energy... Entering such a bright, yet calm kitchen, you literally feel its strong energy. This color is chosen by balanced, self-confident people. In such an interior there is not even a hint of pretentiousness or a desire to please capricious fashion. These kitchens look very respectable. Moreover, it is not gloomy and monotonous, but very bright and interesting.
4. Versatility... In addition to choosing a color, it is important to decide on the style of the future kitchen. This tone fits perfectly into almost all directions and styles. You just need to decide which one is closer to your family.
5. Feeling of coziness. Burgundy interiors seem to envelop you with their warmth. It is very pleasant to be in them, there is no feeling of discomfort. The calm tones do not irritate the eyes and do not get bored over time.
6. Compatibility... If you decide to make the kitchen in burgundy shades, then you should think about what color will be a companion to it. After all, it is important to observe a sense of proportion. If you execute the walls, the floor, and the kitchen unit in the same color, then the result will disappoint you. Instead of a stylish and beautiful kitchen, you get a burgundy gaudy room with an indistinct interior.

1. If you overdo it with burgundy in the kitchen, then the interior will be annoying and may even negatively affect the state of the nervous system. Use the golden rule of all designers. In the interior, a combination of three colors is permissible in a ratio of 60% - basic, 30% - additional, 10% - accents.
2. If the kitchen is small, then it is better to use burgundy as an accent. A large amount of this color will make the space smaller. But even in large kitchens, designers do not advise to abuse this dark shade.
3. The need for quality lighting. If the kitchen set is completely burgundy, then care must be taken to ensure that the room is well lit. Consider multiple lighting scenarios for different purposes. Otherwise, the kitchen will appear smaller and give the impression of a dark, uncomfortable room.
4. If two dark shades are selected as the main shades (for example, burgundy and black), then visually the room will look small and gloomy.

In many ways, both the appearance and the way of placing the kitchen set is dictated by the size of the kitchen itself. In standard buildings, it is quite difficult to come up with something extraordinary and unique in terms of its configuration and dimensions, since the square simply will not allow this. In large non-standard apartments, the owners often face another problem - how to correctly place all the items so that the kitchen does not seem empty, but at the same time not overload it.

Let's consider the main types of kitchen sets and how to place them.

One of the simplest and most unpretentious. Both the upper and lower modules are located along one of the walls. For burgundy kitchens, it is acceptable as an option for making the entire headset in one color, as well as different shades for the upper and lower tiers.

The direct kitchen is laconic. With such a layout, it is easy to place other interior items in the same room. Indeed, in the kitchen you cannot do without a refrigerator or a dining table. To increase storage space, one or two modules can be made in the form of a pencil case, that is, the structure is a full-fledged cabinet for storing dishes and other accessories, and not two separate drawers at different levels. By the way, a refrigerator can be hidden in one of these cases.

The most demanded and frequently encountered option. Its popularity is due to its practicality and functionality. The so-called "working triangle" will comfortably fit here: refrigerator, sink, stove. In this case, everything will be convenient. For burgundy corner kitchens, it is also permissible to make the top and bottom in different colors.

If you do not want to make a kitchen in two shades, but at the same time strive to give it uniqueness, then you can look for interesting monochromatic facades with beautiful ornaments or frames.The combination of burgundy and glass doors also looks original. It can be frosted glass or transparent glass with a beautiful pattern.

Another feature of the corner kitchen can be radius facades. They represent a curved surface with smooth lines. Such constructions are used on the outer modules.

Such options are not often found in our kitchens. But it will be all the more interesting to implement such a design in your own kitchen. If the bottom tier is enough for you to accommodate all the necessary accessories and utensils, then you can safely refuse the top.

Their place can be taken by one long shelf or several, if they are at different levels. The hostesses note the convenience of such a layout. This shelf comfortably contains spices, herbs and other trifles necessary for cooking. This will make the room look more spacious.

This option for placing a burgundy kitchen is suitable for owners of large rooms or kitchen-studio. In a small room, it will be difficult to place the headset and the island so that it is comfortable and beautiful.

The island kitchen consists of wall modules and an "island" placed in the middle of the room. On it, at the discretion of the hostess, a stove, work surface or sink can be located. It all depends on the parameters of the room and personal preferences.

When choosing a burgundy kitchen of companion flowers, she there may be several.

• White... This combination can be safely attributed to the classic. One has only to take into account that if the room is dark and poorly lit during the day (for example, it is on the shady side), then white should be chosen as the main one.

• Beige... Burgundy goes well with pastel shades. It can be not only beige, but also vanilla, pale pink, pearl. Such combinations tend to lean towards the romantic style.

• Dark tones. The combination of wenge and burgundy looks good. The combination is not as gloomy and gloomy as with pure black. In this case, it is better to give preference to matte textures. A black and burgundy kitchen also has a right to exist, but it will be necessary to carefully consider lighting.

• Gray... The combination of warm burgundy and cool gray gives an interesting contrast. Such a kitchen cannot be called too bright, but it will definitely not become boring either.

As already noted, the burgundy shade fits well into various styles and trends. But there are also favorites among them.

• Classic... If we talk about the burgundy color, then in the classic version it is the facades of the headset that can wear this pleasant shade. Moreover, it should be a tree (or imitation for it). A respectable burgundy headset in a classic style must be complemented with appropriate fittings. It can be made in bronze and have beautiful shapes and curves.

• Modern... If you are tired of the stability and practicality of the classics, then take a look at this unusual and vibrant style. Glossy burgundy surfaces in combination with white will look very elegant. In this case, it is worth adhering to clear lines.

• High tech. Contrary to popular belief, there is a place here not only for steel, black and gray shades. Burgundy in this case can be an excellent accent color. This will only emphasize your non-trivial style and sense of taste.

• Art Deco. This pompous style can be easily embodied in the kitchen if you make a headset in a rich burgundy shade and add gold fittings.Textiles should also emphasize the festiveness and beauty of a given style.

• Minimalism... For this style, it is better to choose acrylic facades. They fit neatly into the interior, and you can do without accessories altogether. The headset will give the impression of a wall. It will also be possible to hide all kitchen utensils in it.

If you do not want to combine many shades in the interior, then you should understand the peculiarities of the formation of the interior in monochrome. Do not think that with such a design, all elements will be made in the same color. It is ugly and far from the concept of style, but you can still create the illusion of a stylish monochrome interior in burgundy tones.

First of all, think over the shade of the kitchen unit itself and its texture. At the same time, the surface of the facades can have a different texture: be smooth and glossy, imitate wood or resemble other natural materials. After that, think over the design of the walls, floor and ceiling. If the latter can remain white (this will not contradict the principles of monochrome in the interior), then for the floor and walls it is better to choose shades from the same color palette.

Refer to the color card, and you can easily find the right combination. If the kitchen set is a rich burgundy color, then the walls and floor should be neutral. For example, the wallpaper on the walls can be done in dirty pink tones, and the tiles on the floor have only veins with the desired shade. This will allow you not to turn the kitchen into one big burgundy spot, but to create a unique author's project with interesting details and solutions.

Textiles can play a big role. There should not be too much of it, but you should not neglect it in the kitchen either. Curtains and chair upholstery decorated in a single color scheme will help to create a single image. Moreover, their shade can match the color of the headset or be contrasting.

In monochrome interiors, much attention is paid to textures, since it will not work to diversify it with bold and unexpected contrasts. Also, do not forget to think over all even the smallest details.

The glossy burgundy kitchen looks very stylish and youthful. It is itself an accent color. Therefore, all other interior items should emphasize its dignity, and not draw attention to itself.

A kitchen set in ripe cherry color is sure to whet the appetite. This tone is invariably associated with ripe sweet-sour fruits and sunny summers.

The combination of burgundy and brown is a classic option that will highlight your good taste. With the help of the correct placement of accents and lines, the space is correctly zoned.
