Of course, the range of coffee shades, so rich and lively, is not limited to this. But even using only 7 basic colors, you can get a completely different design of the kitchen. And each will have its own vision of coffee.
Types and placement of headsets
When choosing a coffee color for finishing the kitchen, you should pay attention to the fact that for finishing the facades, in any case, you will have to choose gloss. In this case, a matte finish can simplify a deep complex tone, make it flat and uninteresting. It is better to choose a solid worktop, when using two colors, it is made to match the top row of cabinets. This helps to balance the chosen design solution.
According to the configuration, the coffee kitchen can be of several types.
Straight
A set in one line fits even in a small kitchen, and the lack of storage space can be compensated for by a classic pencil case in the corner. It is better to use the coffee color in the entire headset, except for the table top. In Scandinavian style, you can replace the top row of cabinets with shelving or shelves.
L-shaped or angular
The most popular option. In coffee colors, it is usually made with soft, rounded corners. In a square kitchen, the continuation of the corner module is usually a bar counter located along the window opening.
Ostrovnaya
If the area of the room is more than 20 m2, it is worth considering the option of transferring part of the equipment and the work surface to a free-standing unit. The island can complement a linear (straight) or corner kitchen, separate the work area from the dining room.
U-shaped
A modern solution that allows the most efficient use of the entire area of the room. Such a set is located along three walls of the room or in a corner version with a bar on the side.
Parallel
This is an interesting solution in which the headset is placed along two opposite walls. You can distribute household appliances, if there is a podium, separate the dining area due to the difference in height. This option is best implemented in a spacious kitchen.
Color combinations
It is also necessary to combine coffee colors in the interior correctly. Let's consider what shades can be added to the soft dessert-chocolate range. When creating a warm interior solution, you can dilute dark coffee tones with lighter milky and creamy ones. The combination of the light top row of cabinets and the dark bottom of the headset looks aesthetically pleasing.
Beige tones require support in the form of a creamy toffee or cream. If you want to complicate the interior, you can use the combination with a gray steel or light graphite tone. Gray-beige shades, including taupe, look good in combination with juicy colors: orange, sunny yellow, turquoise. In this case, the activity of the auxiliary tone can be used in the form of inserts on the facades, contrasting edging, in the design of the apron.
Cappuccino in the decoration of the kitchen headset is a universal tone that allows you to make the interior cool and modern or delicate dessert. In combination with white and gray, it acquires the necessary restraint.
But it is worth complementing it with warm golden brown blotches or rich cherry - and this color changes dramatically, becoming light and airy.
They go well with the brown tone of the wardrobes in the green tones of malachite or young grass. You can add a mint color to a cold cappuccino. Pale pastel yellow with a light touch of turmeric will also be a harmonious addition to any coffee tones in the kitchen. Dark mocha or luscious, rich roasted coffee beans are well complemented by deep ultramarine, luxurious gold tones.
From a natural color palette, shades of americano and cappuccino go well with the following tones:
- mahogany;
- amber;
- pistachio;
- purple and violet;
- khaki;
- scarlet;
- straw
- gray and black.
A monochrome coffee set for the kitchen looks too boring and insipid. Choosing the right pair will help add designer chic and gloss to it.
Style selection
To decorate the kitchen in coffee colors, you can choose a variety of options for the embodiment of design ideas. Let's list the most popular solutions.
Scandinavian
Laconic scandi has long been using the shades of coffee with milk, beloved by many. Here they usually have a gray undertone, cold and deep. Such a kitchen should be as simple as possible - without unnecessary frills and details, with painted or textured matte solid wood facades. Scandinavian style does not imply a pile of furniture; cabinets can be replaced with open shelving.
An island with a work surface placed on it would be a good solution.
Provence
Like other country styles, it allows you to use pastel beige shades of milk-bleached coffee in your kitchen finishes. Here it is better to use not plain cabinets, but options with contrasting edging or panel inserts on the facades. This solution looks good with pink-peach, turquoise, mint flowers. In the style of Provence, the countertop may well have the same tone as the facades; a completely monochrome kitchen is also acceptable.
Modern
Elegant glossy facades of the coffee-with-milk shade are able to adorn the Art Nouveau style. As an addition, black and white are used here. Corner headsets with exquisite geometry of smooth lines and precise fit into the design solution look good.
Eco
Dark mocha or classic coffee color in eco-style is combined with juicy green, blue, yellow colors. Furniture in the headset should be simple without unnecessary details, preference should be given to solid wood. The dark coffee version of the eco-style kitchen implies finishing the apron with ceramic tiles, stone or wood, copper and bronze fittings, patchwork tiles on the floor go well with it.
Victorian
Good old England at the time of Queen Victoria preferred to tint furniture in golden brown shades of freshly ground coffee. Modern designers offer this tradition to be used in stylish kitchens, creating practical headsets from solid wood with dark toning and carvings.
Some retro element makes such solutions optimal for classic country houses.
Design features in monochrome
When choosing a monochrome coffee range for finishing a kitchen, it is very important to pay attention to the combination of elements. So, the walls, floor and ceiling look harmoniously in a total beige or a shade of cappuccino in a classic design. But mocha or dark coffee set will definitely not look as decorative in combination with a tone-on-tone finish... It will simply merge into a single mass, losing its individuality.
If the room also plays the role of a dining room or living room, it is better to decorate the walls with textile or dense textured wallpaper, paint it. The apron should be decorated with a luxurious panel with photo printing, or use ceramic tiles of chocolate brown, milky, creamy shades as an element of decor.
Any decor with a coffee theme looks interesting here.
The work surface in the coffee kitchen can be black or white, made of natural wood. Light beige options often use dark gray countertops. It is better to leave the ceiling in such an interior white or make it contrasting, dark, if the height allows.
It is better to install a floor covering in a total coffee interior that is practical, but rather light. The parquet board in taupe color or dark brown laminate in dark chocolate shade looks interesting. Large-format milky beige tiles also look quite harmonious and respectable.
You can use contrasting checkerboard masonry in two colors.
