But this is not all - neutral shades hide room flaws, incorrect location and other mistakes that apartment owners make when they renovate and decorate a room on their own.

Any chromatic color has its own pastel version - they are created by mixing a basic tone with white paint. It is about these - more muted, soft, powdered shades that will be discussed. The pastel palette is extensive, due to the many intermediate undertone and the degree of their intensity. Visually, they look calm, unobtrusive and velvety, just by contemplating the color, you can feel this delicate texture.

A bright room can be equipped with different types of kitchen units. You need to choose the one that best suits the shape of the room.

Warm colors serve as additions - these can be woven runners and rugs, wooden tabletops and side tables.

Curtains and decorative attributes should be selected in soft lilac and pink colors, beige patterns are allowed. Accessories that can emphasize the style are souvenirs, ceramic dishes, painted pots with spices.

Based on the advantages of design in light shades, many decide to choose a pastel design, but they often get lost when it is necessary to choose a specific color for the kitchen. Some settle for white or other solid colors.

In this case, you should heed the recommendations of qualified designers.

• When choosing a classic decor, you need to remember that monochrome colors, no matter how attractive they are, will look monotonous and boring without dilution. Therefore, it is worth considering adding rich color spots in the form of decorations, lighting fixtures, curtains, and individual functional kitchen accessories.
• When the walls of the room are covered with monochromatic paint or wallpaper, then you cannot choose a headset in this color or any other pastel. You will need furniture in a contrasting or partially contrasting, deeper tone.
• The dark bottom and light top of functional furniture are a traditional solution for the kitchen space, relevant not only for a classic design, but also because of practicality, because the light panels of the lower cabinets will have to be cleaned almost every day.
• The main rule is not to overload the room with unnecessary details and decorative elements.

When using a pastel palette, color accents that bring a touch of life are extremely important, and these are not necessarily some expensive details. Moreover, such inclusions fit perfectly into the interior in any stylistic direction.

Expression in a limited amount is necessary in any room, including the kitchen. Any accents must be placed correctly. The successful placement of bright elements solves several problems at once:

• makes the image of the room complete;
• adds a share of creativity;
• makes the room unique and inimitable in its image.

In monochrome, not saturated with color spaces, accentuation is especially important. At the same time, you can make the boundaries of the zones more pronounced and fill the room with fresh colors.

The accent color depends on the tone of the finishing pastels used:

• objects, utensils and textiles of pink color can be used as strokes for a beige palette, you can also add deep shades of brown;
• with pale blue walls - orange blotches;
• against the background of lilac tones in combination with beige, it is better to use green.

And also, according to the rules of decoration, various cool shades can be complemented with red, amber, yellow and orange tones. A delicate peach colors can be refreshed with red details... However, these are just a few remarks - in fact, touches of virtually any bright color can be applied for a neutral interior, and this is another plus of the pastel design.

It is possible to arrange these juicy notes within the kitchen with the help of stained-glass windows, which are dark in comparison with the general tone of window grilles and frames, and small sculptures on open shelves. You can hang bright curtains, pictures. In addition, furniture or its individual parts can be contrasting.

Bright colors, in addition to decorating the kitchen, cheer up and increase appetite, however, there should not be too many of them, so as not to create a feeling of chaos and disorder.

There are quite a few options for the original, light and sophisticated design of kitchens in a light palette.

The delicate caramel-beige color of the headset with an apron and tabletops made of greenish-golden artificial stone looks beautiful. The dining area is made of contrasting materials - white and brown.

Cream furniture with frosted glass facades, pedestals decorated with a relief image, allows for a stretch ceiling with an ornament combining coffee color and a shade of champagne. At the same time, the color of the countertops, refrigerator and hood is white.

The mint color of the headset can be perfectly combined with white and black countertop panels. But also this color is combined with gray tones and metallic. Cold lighting is suitable for such a kitchen using a chandelier with metal outlines and lamps of white and bluish glass.

The Provence style kitchen in light olive shades allows for yellow curbstone fronts and light wood countertops. The dining table and chairs are also made of wood.

An important recommendation for those who decide to choose white for their kitchen - this tone is only suitable for a minimalist style, in all other cases the kitchen will look more like a hospital.
