The role of color in the interior
It is no secret to anyone that much depends on the choice of color of walls and furniture. By choosing the wrong shades, you can reduce the already small room, make the interior overloaded, and so on. And vice versa.

In addition, it has long been known that color affects well-being, mood and psyche.

- Blue is not for everyone. Therefore, before proceeding with the repair, think carefully again. After all, the kitchen is one of the most important places in the apartment.

What can be done in blue?
Today, there are many options and possibilities for designing a kitchen in blue. If you decide to make major repairs and purchase new furniture, then in the shops you can choose the finish of the desired shade.
If you want to make the kitchen set the usual shades or leave the old one, that is, the option of wallpapering in blue. Fortunately, today you can find a moisture-proof coating for walls that is suitable in shade and texture. A more costly way is to lay the tiles. There are even more possibilities not only among the shades, but also in texture, size and style. You can make an apron in one color, and the rest of the wall in another. You can combine not only shades, but also drawings on the tile. Budget option - painting the walls.
The original design of the kitchen is to finish the floor and / or ceiling with blue. Only then it is better to choose furniture and walls in calm shades.
Blue kitchen - a combination of colors
Naturally, you will not perform all the details in one shade. Therefore, the future interior needs to be thought out in advance. Much easier with a white and beige color scheme. Almost all existing shades are combined with them. With a blue kitchen it's a bit trickier.
The best possible color combinations:
- black (ideal for floors and cabinet elements);
- white (you can make a floor, walls, furniture, accessories);
- dairy (a win-win option, which is suitable for walls and furniture);
- gray (suitable for everything);
- yellow (you can use saturated and muted shades);
- turquoise (suitable for walls and furniture, but will most advantageously look at the intersection with blue on one element);
- green (saturated shades of fresh greens are suitable);
- olive (the walls in this shade look the most advantageous);
- blue (suitable for everything);
- orange (can be used for walls and furniture);
- coral (suitable for finishing everything);
- cream (floor, walls, furniture and accessories);
- shades of pastel;
- shades of natural wood (cherries, oak, and so on).
To understand whether all colors are compatible with each other, you can use the color spectrum. Also, if you have already picked up the shades of furniture, accessories, walls and floors, then take pieces with color samples in the store and put them together. Better yet, lay out the palette in your kitchen. Then you can appreciate not only the compatibility of colors in the interior, but also how it will look in the conditions of your apartment (natural lighting plays a big role).
Design options
If you have a small blue kitchen, then it is better not to overload it with a large number of shades. Limit yourself to painting the walls in dark blue, and make the rest neutral.
The floor made of black and white tiles, which is staggered, blends very nicely with blue furniture. If you make the walls in such a shade, then the cabinets and shelves should be made of wood in natural shades or painted white.
By the way, blue can be very insidious. And even in a well-lit kitchen with natural light, there may be times when you feel uncomfortable there. To prevent this from happening, try to choose the finish of the furniture with warm colors. For example: beige, pastel yellow, delicate orange and so on. This rule also applies to the choice of color palette for accessories and kitchen textiles.
Perhaps the most acceptable solution that allows you to create a modern and comfortable kitchen interior is a combination of blue and wood. But this option will look bad in a small room. A small kitchen with blue walls and furniture with a natural shade of wood will seem even smaller than it actually is. In this case, it is better to choose cabinets in blue shades, and the room itself should be decorated in beige or pastel colors.
For a large kitchen, a combination of both saturated tones and muted ones is suitable. Also in wide rooms, you can combine many different, but matching each other shades.
Choose tiles, paint and wallpaper for the blue kitchen
If you chose the blue facades of kitchen cabinets, the color of the walls should not only harmonize well with the furniture, but also help create a sense of coziness and style. The white color of the wallpaper for the blue kitchen looks very nice. Such a room immediately looks clean, spacious, filled with light.
Another possible design option for a room with blue furniture is the choice of tiles for an apron of the same shade as the cabinets. Then the rest of the walls need to be done in more neutral colors.
When choosing paint or wallpaper for the walls of the kitchen with blue furniture, take your personal preferences into account. If you need to make the interior bright, then the shade of the finish should be the same (for example, green, orange, red and so on). If you want to combine the rich color of blue furniture and the tranquility of the room, then wallpaper the walls with pastel colors.
Selection of accessories
The blue kitchen (photo below) is ideal for people who do not like to overload space with things. This is due to the fact that such a shade is self-sufficient and does not require additions. Therefore, do not flaunt various cute little things, figurines, decorative vases and utensils, hang on the walls a lot of paintings, photographs and so on.
If you want to decorate the kitchen interior with some trinkets, then limit yourself to two or three units. Do not overload the room. Or, make the entire room and furniture in neutral colors (for example, beige, gray, brown, and so on), and select all related items and decor in blue colors (utensils, textiles, pots, teapot, appliances, jars, vases, etc.) . Thus, your kitchen will still be made in blue shades.
Art Nouveau cooking room
As mentioned above, the blue tint helps to make the interior modern and stylish. Indeed, for all rooms except the bathroom, this color is unusual for our eyes. Shades of beige, brown and white are much more common.
The modern blue kitchen turns out that way, if we make contrasts. For example, the facades of lockers are painted with bright blue paint, and the walls are decorated with bright yellow wallpaper. Also quite unusual is the combination of a blue kitchen unit and pink apron tile. But such a design is suitable for units.
Laconic modern interior will turn out with a combination of white and bright blue colors. For example, make everything snow-white, and several facades of drawers - in the shade of an electrician.
Remember that there are many options for interior design so that it is modern, practical and comfortable at the same time. Just don’t be afraid to spend time looking for the right design for you.
