Peculiarities
A metal kitchen has special properties. Even in a hot environment, steel surfaces will remain cold. Decorators recommend using this material with care, otherwise the decor in the room will become rough and uncomfortable. To dilute the interior and make it more pleasant, in addition to steel, other materials are chosen - both natural and artificial.
A well-decorated kitchen will maximize the practicality and beauty of steel.

Styles
Techno
Metal will brighten the kitchen in a variety of styles. This concept is perfect for a metal kitchen. In this case, steel can be used both as pieces of furniture and for cladding surfaces. And also accessories and other additional steel elements are placed in the room.
To prevent all objects from merging, you can play with textures and shades. Customers can choose from matt, chrome-plated, structured and high-gloss steel with an expressive shine. When decorating a room, experts use material that has been processed in a special way. The direction is characterized by rigor, conciseness and clear geometry. Basic set of colors - white, gray, black.

High tech
Innovative hi-tech is very similar to the techno concept, however, it is more diverse. In this style, besides steel, other artificial materials (glass, plastic) are also actively used. The modern trend is based on minimalism, its visual space and restraint.
The color palette is almost identical to the above directions, however, bright colors are used as complements. They serve as accents and dilute the neutral range. Red, blue, orange or violet are most often used as additional paints.

Loft
This style is significantly different from the above directions. The loft was born when industrial premises began to be used for houses and apartments. The main characteristic of the direction is that architectural elements (pipes, supports, beams) are not hidden, but stand out.
Together with metal furniture and steel panels, brickwork and decorative plaster are used. Most often, instead of standard pencil cases, shelves or shelves are placed. Metal reveals its beauty to the maximum only with perfect purity. Wipe the surfaces regularly to get rid of fingerprints and other stains.
Note: all items in the interior, be it furniture or small additions, must correspond to the same style. Otherwise, the integrity of the composition will be violated. Also, be careful about the number of decorations.

Steel apron
Arranging a working area is an important part of any kitchen. Stainless steel trim is gaining popularity due to the mass of positive qualities. The material has excellent strength, durability and reliability. And also it is not afraid of increased moisture, heating and does not absorb fats. It is very easy to keep such an apron clean; it is enough to periodically wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge.
As disadvantages of steel cladding, gray color is noted, which is not to everyone's taste, and the large weight of the sheets. Some decorators believe that steel has a low decorative effect, especially in comparison with more common finishing materials.
