For corner kitchen sets are advised to use a contrasting decor: one part of the cabinets should be made in a lighter range, the other in a darker one. So, you can make the upper part more airy, and the lower one - less brand. Zoning different areas is also an interesting idea, for example, separating the work and dining areas.

Double row kitchens in this color, they are good using the entire range: light fronts and wall cabinets, brown side panels and countertops create a warm, relaxing atmosphere.
For small spaces U-shaped it is better to choose coffee kitchens made in a pastel version. It is recommended to combine chocolate tones with light walls, ceilings and other elements. An excellent choice for dark facades would be light countertops and wall cabinets.
In a white studio kitchen, chocolate-colored furnishings help separate the cooking space.
Peninsula headsets look great in one color and in a combination of two or three. Nevertheless, it must be taken into account that lightened options and combinations make furniture more weightless, thereby expanding the area. For small rooms, it is better to select cabinets and cabinets with light fragments (doors, countertops), dark options are perfect for large kitchens, or combined with a living room, where there is a lot of free space.

Even if the kitchen is almost monochromatic, the spicy flavor will make it winning, without gloom and dullness. White countertops will add airiness to the set, while the glossy surface will bring light to the setting.

You can make part of the headset with a chocolate bar, and the other - coffee with milk, so the room will seem voluminous and harmonious.
Individual projects of kitchen sets are a unique design option. Nowadays, modular headsets are very popular, consisting of different blocks: wardrobes, cabinets, dressers. The advantages of designer furniture are obvious: such furniture can be purchased quickly, and at a price it is more affordable.
Modular furniture in fashionable colors will help to update the interior without large financial costs. By combining dairy and coffee cabinets, it's easy to create a stylish and practical piece for a cozy home.
Kitchens in the cappuccino palette can be chosen with glossy or matte fronts.
The shiny surface reflects the light falling on it and thereby increases its amount around, creating the effect of expanding the space. For a small room, such furniture is an excellent solution. Glossy furniture must be correctly combined with wall decoration: dark ones absorb light, and glossy facades will not save the situation in such a situation.
Velvety matte surfaces create the effect of comfort and warmth, they are practical and look respectable. Matte facades will remind you of your morning coffee, create an atmosphere of peace and relaxation. Matte furniture will look advantageous in any light.
Matt surfaces are preferable for spacious rooms. Such facades require more light than gloss. It should be remembered that the dark scale does not reflect light, thereby visually reducing the space. Muted tones are suitable for classic and provence styles.
Successful color combinations

The range of coffee colors allows you to play with milk and coffee colors, combine bright and pastel options.
Using a two-tone design, you can visually unload the space, add volume and air, and be in the trend of our time.
- Vanilla. It will add tenderness and airiness to the room, it is well suited for a small area. Compared to pure white, which gives a winter chill feeling or glossy lobby, vanilla refreshes the design and serves as a backdrop for bright colors. Cappuccino is ideally combined with vanilla, an appetizing couple will decorate the house of a true coffee lover, suitable for both classics and democratic styles: Provence, country.
- Gray... It will add restraint to any composition, in combination with cappuccino it will become a cooling element in the headset. Gray details in a soft and warm design will dilute the monochromatic interior, transfer the interior design to a neutral gamut.Gray - conservative and non-staining in combination with the same soft coffee will give a practical, austere composition.
- Olive. A thick and warm color defuses the atmosphere, the palette from pastel to deep tones is harmoniously combined with shades of coffee, gives an unusual ratio of soft green and cream shades, refreshes and revives the interior. Natural combinations will evoke pleasant warm and spring associations.
- Metallic. It will add shine and light to the room, bring a touch of glamor. In modern design, metal objects are used quite often. Metallic in various combinations is considered the most popular in recent years, it is used in different styles. The surfaces are decorated with shiny and cold metallic coatings, iridescent and reflective.

Style selection
The design in the coffee range gives room for many styles, is combined with any color, does not burden, creates a sense of stability and adds modernity.
For classic style the possibilities of a noble cappuccino can be used in both light and dark versions. Light furniture is elegant and aesthetically pleasing to small areas, chocolate sets are elegant and aristocratic, suitable for spacious rooms. It is better to use a two-color design carefully, make the contrast blurry, for example, choose countertops and facades in different shades.
Minimalism tends to strict tones, soft coffee with milk will suit a laconic and austere interior. For contrast, it is better to use a coffee palette: a combination of chocolate pedestals and pastel wall cabinets. It should be borne in mind that the dark range complements the overall decor and serves for space zoning.
High tech prefers a lot of light, air, free space. Either a one-color scale or a contrasting one is used, here combinations of both your own cappuccino palette and in combination with accent paints are permissible, but they must be used in dosage.
Glossy coffee facades in the same tone with the walls are welcome; you can decorate only the countertops in the same way with the background, or only the facades of the upper or lower cabinets.
To create a light style provence or country they prefer light-colored furniture, and coffee with milk will be very useful in such a design. Matte facades are finished with gratings, slats, decorative cornices, with and without glass. As a rule, furniture is decorated in the same color, but you can highlight an island or a peninsula, making it 1-2 tones lighter than the entire set.
Features of the interior in monochrome
The wallpaper and the kitchen unit in the Milk Coffee colors create a warm and positive atmosphere. The room looks spacious, playing with shades of coffee, you can create the most incredible interior.
The choice of colors for the walls depends on the location of the kitchen and how well lit it is. For the northern premises, light warm colors will be most successful; for the southern side with good lighting throughout the day, cold grayish tones are recommended.
Tiles, plastic, wallpaper, paint and varnish mixtures - these decorative elements of finishing the coffee palette, assembled like a mosaic, will become the backdrop for a kitchen set. The area near work surfaces, stoves and sinks is most often laid out with ceramic tiles, but plastic panels, stone, glass and mosaic will be a good option for decorating an apron. It can be made lighter than the main background of the walls, or, conversely, much darker. A good solution would be an apron painted under the countertop.
Designers recommend giving preference to chocolate furniture when decorating walls in a coffee and milk range, and choosing a light coffee set for dark brown walls.
The floors are covered with linoleum, tiles or laminate in the colors of coffee or milk chocolate, completely vanilla - they can be very easily soiled, stains and splashes are more noticeable on them. The floor will look good a tone or two darker than all the furniture and walls.
A tile with a mirror shine will create the effect of expanding the space; it will look good on a chocolate floor.
