How to use gold color in your kitchen interior?

Features of using gold color

The gold color in the interior is quite insidious: on the one hand, it is a symbol of luxury, wealth, prosperity. On the other hand, if used improperly, the golden cuisine will turn out tasteless, pretentious - this style is also called "gypsy chic".

If you have no experience with color and are not sure of the success of your experiments, use it in small details: accessories, dishes, lamps, decor. A kitchen with golden elements, which occupy no more than 25% of the total mass, cannot look pretentious.

Another variant - give gold leading positions and make gold facades for the kitchen, wall decoration or gender. In general, equalize the ratio with other shades to 1: 1. In this case, we advise you to contact the designer or exactly repeat the interior from the photos found on the Internet: this is the only way to be sure of the result.

The last nuance - the combination of precious metal is permissible only with the same luxury materials: natural stone, wood, expensive wallpaper, luxurious moldings on the walls, stucco on the ceiling.

What is the best combination?

A safe bet is to add a neutral base to your golden kitchen. The basis can be bright (white, beige, gray) or dark (brown, graphite, black). A calm range will extinguish the activity of gilding, level out the sensations from the perception of a golden kitchen.

For those who are ready to experiment, there are more complex, but no less beautiful combinations:

• Red... Blood red, scarlet, it is better to prefer rich, deep tones: burgundy, Marsala... The third can be white (acts as a thinner), black (makes the atmosphere darker).
• Green... The principle is the same: deep shades - emerald, malachite.
• Blue... Colors with a touch of black (indigo, azure, ultramarine, sapphire) will be an amazing background.

How to use in decoration?

The decision to make gold wall or apron cannot be called standard, which is why you have to work hard to find suitable materials. The simplest options for walls: wallpaper, decorative plaster, paint. 4 active walls in the kitchen are too much, one accent is enough.

On the ceiling gold is used more as a decorative element - for example, to create a patina on stucco or in the form luminaires on tension... It's the same story with the floor - the only option to add gold is to choose a tile with a matching pattern or a gilded tile decor.

Wall and floor joint along the contour, you can decorate with a plinth - there are metal, wooden products on sale.

Since the color itself is not intended to be used on oversized surfaces, consider creating a gold apron in the kitchen... To implement the idea, a tile is suitable (for example, a hog in the photo), skinned with print, plaster with a protective layer, glass mosaic.

The last decoration option is a window frame. Can't find a baguette in the right color? Select a white outline but with a gold layout.

How does gold look in furniture and appliances?

Still, more often the golden kitchen in the interior is understood as furniture, not decoration: we will consider the options for use in this area.

Kitchen fronts

The problem with gold kitchen sets is not even clumsy, but the complexity of color implementation: many solutions look beige or yellow. Your task - find an option that resembles real material: as if the door was covered with gold leaf (by the way, this is one of the ways to create it) - then the furniture will look stylish.

Fittings

Choosing the right handles is much easier than finding a facade manufacturer. The wide range includes classic brackets, buttons, profiles, washbasins, and more modern surface or recessed models.

In addition to handles, accessories include roof railswith which you can decorate the apron. The main thing is that all parts (loops, hooks, suspensions) are from the same group and look the same.

Tables and chairs

Modern dining furniture manufacturers often make metal underframes, chair legs. Metal goes well with a soft seat or solid color (white, black) table top.

Dinner Zone in the empire style, baroque, rather it stands out with wooden products with a patina: the latter simply emphasizes the high cost of the array.

Appliances

Technique cannot be ignored in golden cuisine - its concentration is too high here. Start with large aggregates: instead of built-in refrigerator you can find the model in gold. Stylish options are available from Haier, Smeg, LG, Bosch, Ginzzu.

Ovens. Microwaves are completely metal or neutral, decorated with warm metal accessories - handles, lambs, thermometers.

A gold-plated range hood, when done right, can be a star in the kitchen: choose a stylish freestanding model and place it on the empty wall above the hob. Such a device is guaranteed not to be left without attention..

Plumbing Applications

The interior of a golden kitchen requires a thorough approach to the selection of sanitary ware: since the mixer is an important part of the design, you can't afford a plain chrome model... Look for either entirely in gold, or compiled with black, white elements.

The gold faucet is installed on a stone or snow-white sink, or a sink of the same color is selected for it: on request, you can find overhead, mortise models.

Examples in decor, textiles and lighting

Light sources are an easy way to maintain a chosen accent color in a decor. Chandelier over the dining area, built-in ceiling lights, separate sconces - any of the options can be found in gold.

If the room is sunny, don't forget to curtains: The shade of precious metal looks best on heavy curtains with folds.

For wall decorations around the table paintings in gold frames are suitable, and the apron above working area complement the roof rails with gilded utensils. In a sideboard or on open shelves, dishes that are completely gold or with a suitable finish are always appropriate: a beautiful tea service, trays, coffee pots.

What styles can you use?

Under the kitchen of gold color, they often mean luxurious design in the Empire style: with facades decorated with carvings and patina, and natural wood worktops. The color of the metal is actively used in decor, according to the principle of a lot, but in small details.

A kitchen with gold in a modern style is completely different. For the base, they usually choose white or black, and gold can be represented by only one, but very bright detail: for example, a mixer.

Don't be afraid of gold - if you really like this metal, decorating your kitchen with it is a great idea! The main thing is to know when to stop and not to overdo it.
