It should be noted that the perception of colors is influenced by:
- the size of the room;
- the height of the walls;
- illumination;
- the main goal of the design project.
Even professional designers don't try to use more than 2 colors in one typeface. This is an almost impossible task. At the same time, it is recommended to make the lower row of furniture darker than the one located on top. In a monotonous space, you can vary the shades of the main color, sometimes forming a complete range. As in any other case, when decorating a kitchen with a wooden countertop bright furniture is combined with discreet walls, and vice versa.
