Red and black cuisine: combinations, choice of style, furniture, wallpaper and curtains

How to combine furniture?

Intense red and black are perfect for each other. A kitchen set designed in such uncompromising shades will give the atmosphere of passion and respectability at the same time.

The distribution of the gamut depends on the owner’s desire: red furniture will serve as a great accent for a dark kitchen, and the black-colored dining area will add solidity and solidity to the interior. Glossy facades that reflect light will add brightness to the kitchen, while matte facades, on the contrary, will damp the saturation of selected colors.

There are many ways to combine the red-black palette: for example, installing garnet-colored facades with black accents. Coal-colored appliances fit perfectly into the scarlet interior: stove, hood and refrigerator.

Red-black is much easier to design a spacious kitchen, but what about the owners of Khrushchev and studios in love with such an active color combination? To create a bold and expressive interior in a small room, you should avoid small details that crush the space: freestanding nightstands and open shelves with dishes. Instead, designers recommend ordering furniture exactly to the size, using gloss to reflect light and built-in appliances to save space, as well as decorating the top in red and black to fill the bottom of the kitchen.

How to choose curtains?

The selection of textiles becomes a daunting task when arranging an eccentric red-black kitchen. The fabric should include one of the shades used in the interior. In order to avoid excessiveness in the decor, the windows should be decorated with plain curtains without ornaments.

The type of curtains depends on the location of the window. If the window sill is converted into a countertop or access to the window opening is occupied by furniture, practical blinds will come to the rescue. To not only defend oneself from prying eyes, but also to create coziness, you can use Roman or roller blinds.

Curtains with a pattern and pickups in the youth red-black kitchen are inappropriate, but they look organically in a classic or country interior, giving the atmosphere a character.

Finishing Choice

The walls of the red-black kitchen can be wallpaper or paint. Decorative plaster is also popular. The best option is plain coatings without patterns, or with a barely noticeable texture, which will soften the severity of the situation.

As a floor covering linoleum or a laminate "under a tree" is used, but designers most often prefer a tile. It is eco-friendly, easy to clean and gives the red and black kitchen a chic. Combining different types of flooring, it is possible to provide zoning, separating the dining room from the working area.

The most popular way of decorating the ceiling in a red-black kitchen is whitewashing: so the top of the room does not attract too much attention.Another practical option is a stretch ceiling with spotlights.

Ideally, if such "little things" as a door, a chandelier and accessories do not get out of the general red and black palette: coal, silver and scarlet shades are appropriate here.

It is worth talking separately about the kitchen apron, which protects the cooking area. Designers agree that it should be in contrast with hanging cabinets, so the red top and black bottom is the canonical option. As a rule, the apron is aged in dark colors.

If the owner chooses a red apron, then the cabinets and cabinets should be black. For this purpose, skins are perfect - a wall panel made of glass. The shiny lacquered surface of the skinhead is durable and easy to care for.

A good combination is a black and white glossy kitchen and red brick. Terracotta color becomes an intermediary between two energetic shades, softening their effect. This is a great solution for lovers of loft style, not without extravagance.

Plus the third color

To reduce the aggressiveness of the red and black colors, an additional shade is often used in the design of the room.

Black-red-white kitchen

White is the most popular guest in modern kitchens. It is versatile and expands the space, so it goes well with a red-black combination. The downside is that under its influence, the contrast of colors becomes more noticeable, and this gives the atmosphere of formality, depriving it of comfort. To avoid such an effect, it is recommended to use tonal shades of red (burgundy, purple) or use it minimally, as accents.

A great option for a small kitchen is an apron made of black and white tiles laid in a checkerboard pattern. This technique complicates the geometry of the room, distracting from modest sizes and hiding irregularities in the form of niches or drywall boxes.

With the addition of gray

Red-black-gray kitchen is another good solution. Ash shades muffle the dominant duo, making it softer and calmer. You can make gray a countertop, an apron or walls, as well as create a combined set of three colors.

Beige color combination

Calm beige, like white, works to expand the space, but adds a warm touch to the red-black interior. You can dilute the headset with them, including details from light wood. In addition, wall and floor decoration in sand tones can serve as a pleasant background for a “gloomy” headset. Also, beige furniture (a dining table and chairs), a countertop or an apron will be a great addition.

Interior style

Based on the red-black combination, you can build a lot of style directions. Consider a few of them.

Minimalism is characterized by conciseness and clarity of lines. There are no excesses, and the atmosphere is characterized by an abundance of light and space. The uncompromising nature of the red and black duo fits into this style.

Hi-tech is characterized by varnish coatings with metal and glass inserts, multi-level lighting and cutting-edge appliances. The red and black kitchen is successfully complemented by white and chrome elements.

The black color in the classic style is the epitome of luxury and respectability, but the use of bright scarlet can easily break the line between sophistication and tastelessness.To maintain the style, it is recommended to use accents of muted brick color or burgundy.

In the country style, red and black gamma is also quite appropriate. Since wood is the main material for decorating a rustic kitchen, both the background and the set should be designed in a natural theme. Facades painted in natural coral blend perfectly with dark wood. Black details - furniture handles, shelves, lamps - complete the picture.

Red and black in the Japanese-style kitchen look characteristic and noble. Japanese minimalism encourages the use of lightweight textiles and natural materials such as bamboo and natural wood, and a recognizable crate is a feature of the design of facades, ceilings or partitions.

For the Art Nouveau style, red-black is perfect. It looks advantageous in combination with modern appliances and furniture without unnecessary decorative additions.
