Cherry kitchens: color combinations in the interior
Cherry color looks bright, noble and stylish. Experts believe that this color energizes, improves mood and can make your day more productive. Using cherry blossom correctly in your kitchen space will help you create a room that will always be a pleasure for all family members to cook and dine in. You will learn more about how to make an original and comfortable cherry kitchen in this article.
Peculiarities
Cherry blossom creates a pleasant and cozy atmosphere. Moreover, furniture of this color looks noble, rich and stylish.
The main disadvantage of this color is that it is able to visually reduce the room, like other dark colors. This necessitates combining it with other brighter colors and diluting the interior with various light elements and accessories.
It is important to note that this color can be dangerous for a fairly spacious room with poor lighting. If there is not enough light, the cherry color will appear even darker.
Psychologists say that this color is ideal for strong or romantic natures. This shade creates a great atmosphere for sincere conversations, as it is relaxing. In feng shui culture, it is used to attract luck. And in medicine, it can be used to strengthen the nervous system and normalize blood pressure.
There are four main shades of cherry.
- Burgundy... It is a rich, dark shade. It combines red and brown tones to make it warm and calm.
- Ripe cherry. It is a bright and catchy color. It is the darkest, but at the same time the richest and brightest of all four shades.
- Pomegranate. This shade is also bright, but lighter than ripe cherries. Pomegranate goes well with white.
- Carmine. It is the coldest shade and has black and blue highlights.
What colors does it match?
When using a bright and deep color, such as a ripe cherry, it is worth minimizing the use of other dark or bright colors. They can be used to create small accents or in decorative elements, but they should not draw all the attention to themselves. Otherwise, the interior design will look strange and inorganic.
Ripe cherries go well with different flowers.
- White. This is the most common and traditional combination. White color perfectly complements and emphasizes the beauty and depth of cherry. White and cherry cuisine will be an excellent solution especially for lovers of brightness and classics. Moreover, if white is mainly used in interior design, then the room will look more spacious.
- Beige... This combination will be softer than the first option. Although beige is a contrast to cherry color, it softens it a little, which makes the interior of the kitchen warmer and more comfortable.
- Black. This classic combination is considered quite dangerous and is only suitable for spacious and well-lit rooms. This option looks strict and laconic.
- Brown... Such a tandem will create a warm and cozy interior. Cherry color will look especially good in combination with wooden surfaces. Another good option is the color of coffee or chocolate. This combination looks unusually stylish and rich. But as in the case of black, this option can only be realized in a spacious and bright kitchen.
- Gray. And this combination looks very unusual, but no less beautiful. Glossy panels in this range look especially interesting and stylish.
- Yellow. A delicate yellow shade looks interesting against the background of a deep cherry color. However, you cannot use too much yellow. It is better to make a small accent in one of the kitchen areas, for example, yellow chairs will look beautiful.
- Green. This color is also a great companion for all shades of cherry. However, it is better to choose light shades of green - this way you will be able to create a more relaxed interior.
Styles
Cherry kitchen sets are quite common in modern interior design and are used to create a variety of stylistic solutions. Such furniture can complement the kitchen in any style, and the kitchen set itself can be either monochrome or with the use of other colors and shades.
Let's take a look at the most popular styles.
- High tech. This modern style appeared relatively recently, but it is already quite widely known and in demand. It is characterized by the use of two contrasting colors to decorate the room. Furniture in this style is distinguished by functionality, rigor and conciseness. Metal and glass inserts and elements are often used.
Moreover, it is possible to purchase non-built appliances in metallic color, which goes well with cherry and complements the interior well. And also the high-tech kitchen will be perfectly decorated with transparent plastic chairs.
- Classical. Timeless classics are always in demand. At the same time, the style periodically undergoes some changes, for example, the expansion of the color gamut. This is due to new design solutions and trends in modern fashion. Classic cuisine in cherry tones will look noble and original. As a rule, furniture is made of natural wood, it is characterized by rounded shapes and carved decorations.
It is better to buy an apron and a countertop in neutral shades, but wallpaper on one wall can be printed, for example, with floral motifs.
- Minimalism. The name of this style speaks for itself. Its main features are simplicity, brevity and functionality. In minimalism, a large number of decorative elements are not used. The main decoration of such an interior is colors and glossy surfaces.
The cherry color will perfectly complement the metal handles and other fittings. Such an interior looks interesting and stylish due to its simplicity.
- Country. Ripe cherry in country interiors is often used as a bright accent. A kitchen set for such an interior should be made of wood; you can also find wooden models of a cherry shade. They look noble and original. However, we must not forget that the country style itself is bulky, therefore it is suitable only for large-sized premises.
- Japanese... In this style, natural textures and materials always prevail, with which the cherry hue is perfectly combined. Such an interior looks mysterious and original, it is perfect for fans of the East.
