Design features
The kitchen design with a black set is a real exclusive in modern homes, it will emphasize the courage of choice, the dynamism of the lifestyle and love for the cooking process.
A black kitchen set, as a rule, is made for high-tech or modern style, but there are also models of a classic, more familiar style. Most often, a set of this color can be found in design projects of studio apartments, where a stylish facade in glossy black color emphasizes the kitchen space and its functionality.
The furniture is favorably emphasized by chrome handles, stone countertops and glass inserts, a wooden floor in combination with noble black looks presentable and stylish. A crystal or glass chandelier will soften and add charm to the design.
The more light sources, the better, when choosing a black headset - this is especially important, since local and spot lighting create not only coziness, but also visually correct the geometry of the room. Natural light, a large window, a glass interior door are the main conditions for a successful choice of a black headset, otherwise, with a lack of light, the room can become heavy and gloomy.
An important role is played by the color and material of the wall decoration, so it is necessary to choose the right background for a black headset. It can be contrasting white wallpaper or rich bright colors: red, yellow, green.
Black emphasizes all flaws and therefore requires constant cleaning of kitchen utensils and utensils to prevent clutter. The functionally thought-out design of the headset with the most spacious drawers and cabinets will help in this.
Designers advise against opting for a black headset if:
- there is no readiness to wipe dust, splashes and smudges several times every day;
- a small kitchen (a dark facade will accentuate this or make the space even smaller);
- there are small windows in the room and they are located on the north side.
Black has many shades that are clearly visible in the light, therefore, before choosing a furniture set for the kitchen, it is worth deciding whether it will be, for example, a blue-black shade, black-purple or black-brown. Bright fruits on the table, rich colors of towels, pots with herbs will successfully emphasize the noble tone of the headset.
Options for combining two colors in one headset
Black and white headset
The black and white set with contrasting facades looks very expressive and harmonious. It is suitable for both sophisticated and expressive kitchens, depending on the dominant color and options for its placement in the space, as well as details and accessories. In a black and white kitchen, there is a combination of shiny and smooth with matte and rough.
A black and white kitchen set is suitable for creating a high-tech style, minimalism, art deco. It is better to choose white as the base color, and black as an additional one (this will help to avoid oversaturation with black).
The more light, the better for the finished look, especially if the room is small and the windows are not on the sunny side. A chandelier in the center, additional lighting above the work surface and soffits around the perimeter will fill the room with comfort.
For a kitchen with a black and white set, light wallpapers with a matte black pattern are suitable. You can paste over the wall along the furniture with dark wallpaper, and make the rest neutral beige or light.
An excellent combination of white furniture and dark stone countertops will accentuate the middle of the kitchen; when accentuating the walls, you can make an apron over the working area from black tiles or mosaics. In addition to a black apron and a table top, a dark-colored table and chairs will look stylish.
For flooring, it is best to choose large size black tiles or dark wood laminate tiles, the floor can also be neutral beige or gray. You can make a checkerboard pattern with black and white glossy tiles, this will not reduce, but will not increase the space.
Curtains can be red, gray for contrast, or white with a medium pattern. If the ceilings are high, then short curtains will emphasize this, if they are low, then it is better to choose curtains for the entire length of the wall (this technique will visually make the room taller).
Black and red headset
The black and red set is suitable for creating an interior in the style of minimalism, expressionism, and in the Japanese style. Dynamic red attracts attention, and black balances it, the main thing is to calculate the number of colors and choose the background.
The black and red kitchen looks self-sufficient and allows the use of only simple lines when decorating, it does not tolerate any curls and colorful fittings. Black bottom - red top, and vice versa, look harmonious in the presence of a third background white milk or ivory.
The apron can be a background color or two-part of the main tones. The table and chairs should be neutral, the floor and ceiling should be light. It is better to select dishes in white or black and red. If in a large room you can combine tones of different saturation, then in a small room it is important to dilute the black and red kitchen with white, which will make it more spacious and brighter.
Black and orange headset
The black and orange headset in the neo-gothic and high-tech style looks original and attractive. A dark countertop with an orange backsplash will look stylish with a dark bottom and orange top for the headset.
An orange set with a black countertop and an apron looks interesting. When choosing a shade, remember that bright orange quickly gets tired, so it is better to give preference to carrot, peach and tangerine colors.
Wallpaper selection rules
When choosing the color of finishing materials and details (curtains, apron, dining table), remember that cold shades are not combined with warm ones.
The main requirement for kitchen wallpaper - they must be dense, non-woven or vinyl, moisture resistant and washable. In this case, they will serve for a long time, will not fade and will not absorb odors.
Wallpaper for black headset
Wallpaper should be white, light gray or delicate beige, different shades of these colors. You can diversify the style of the kitchen and decorate one wall with patterned wallpaper, or apply your own pattern in black or another bright shade using a stencil. This is best done on the wall by the dining table. It is very easy to oversaturate the black interior with a pattern on the walls, so there should be one accent wall, or the pattern should be small.
Solid wallpapers in metallic gray or brown colors are perfect for a cozy atmosphere, while a bright red accent on the walls will add boldness and style. White wallpaper with imitation of bricks or wooden boards is suitable for a loft-style kitchen and minimalism.
Wallpaper for black and white headset
Wallpaper should be light, pearl or milky. With the dominance of white in the headset, you can focus on black, for example, cover the apron area and accent wall with chalk wallpaper, on which you can leave notes and just draw.
Black and white painting on white wallpaper, stencil monochrome drawing (red, brown or black) will make the kitchen special. Variants with gold or silver ornaments, the light pattern will accentuate the noble black.
