The peach palette is versatile. Such shades will fit seamlessly into any functional space, including the kitchen. Warm peach adds comfort and warmth to the atmosphere, will have a relaxing effect and at the same time will set an optimistic mood. However, in order for the interior to be modern, stylish and original, it is important to take into account several aspects when working with color.
Features of working with color
There are several aspects that are advised to pay attention to when working with peach tones. First of all, it should be borne in mind that the choice of shade saturation depends on the area of the room. If the layout of your apartment involves a large kitchen – you can safely experiment with bright and juicy shades. However, in a small kitchen, calm pastel colors will look more appropriate.
Experts also advise avoiding bright shades in wall decoration. Saturated tones will look more advantageous in interior details and textiles. Such details with a common complementary range will work to create a single image of the space.
Warm shades not only add comfort, but also visually narrow the space. For this reason, when working with them, it is important to correctly build light sources.
Designers do not recommend giving preference to light peach tones in a neutral design. Colors close to the body can look boring and dirty in the interior.
If you prefer monochrome decoration, it is important that the furniture and textiles are several shades darker than the wall decoration.
Combination
Most often, designers use several shades in the interior at once. There are several win-win combinations in which peach tones always look stylish:
- Peach and white are a classic solution for kitchen decoration. As additional shades in this case, light green, lilac or blue can be used.
- Peach and gray are a less festive combination. However, the combination of these colors looks elegant, the main thing is to maintain a balance of contrasts. Not only finishing materials, but also metal surfaces, including household appliances, can act as gray accents in the interior.
- Peach and brown allow you to create a laconic interior. Most often this combination can be found in Provence-style interiors. Additional touches can be all kinds of materials in natural shades – straw, milk, sand, pink, sky blue.
Peach shades also look great with a light range. The combination allows you to set a light relaxed atmosphere, this combination is as pleasant and comfortable as possible for the human eye. At the same time, peach goes well with dark saturated tones – deep blue, olive, ochre, emerald, turquoise and burgundy.
Designers do not advise combining more than 3 bright shades in one interior. The ideal combination option in this case is the proportion of 60/30/10. In any combination there are basic and additional shades. It is important to keep in mind that a light peach base looks best framed by dark furniture. If there are bright peach shades in the interior, it is worth giving preference to furniture in light colors.
And one more important point – if you stopped at the apron of the kitchen set in peach tones, you will have to abandon the dark brown walls. This solution is correct in terms of color combinations, the abundance of bright colors will overload the room.
Lighting selection
Peach color is quite unpretentious. However, when working with it, it is worth avoiding too cold lighting. Such rays will make the shade less contrasting, while delicate tones can look boring and lifeless. At the same time, too warm lighting will bring the brightness to the maximum and make all the shades brighter. In this case, the beauty of the conceived interior can be lost in the abundance of shades. For this reason, designers advise to give preference to artificial lighting with a neutral undertone. Such lighting is most like the sun’s rays. With it, any color will look clean, which means it will not lose its pristine charm.
Choosing a style
In addition to the choice of color design, designers pay attention to the importance of a competent selection of style. The versatility of the peach color allows you to experiment. In particular, this range is compatible with the classic style.
- Classic style. Elegance and a minimum of decorations using natural materials are the basis of this style. As for the range, naturalness is a priority: milky, powdery, apricot. They are easy to combine with white and beige.
- Hi-tech and loft style. Modern design solutions are usually based on pastel shades. The accent (kitchen set, decorative items) most often become more juicy colors of pumpkin, melon, apricot. Facades are traditionally made of plastic, glass and MDF.
- Shabby chic. Vintage decoration tends to pale colors, which occupy completely all the walls, textiles and decor. Rich coral, melon and other eye-catching colors will bring comfort. Wood is usually chosen as the main material.
- Provence, country style. French romance and suburban lightness are best conveyed by a combination of peach with white and cream. It is important to keep a balance: if a light shade is chosen for the kitchen set, then the walls should be warmer. The rule also works in the opposite direction. This will help not to lose the originality and charm of rustic motifs.
- Ethno-style. There is no way in it without a colorful mix of peach and other saturated colors: scarlet, pink, orange and blue. If you want to add oriental motifs, you can not do without a calmer white, heavenly, sandy and mustard. Various plants can act as an addition, the geometry also looks good.
Tips for arranging a peach-colored kitchen
The features of the selection of furniture and finishes depend on the chosen color, which are worth knowing before you decide to stay on it:
Since peach is quite diverse, with a little more addition of red, you can get a sparkling juicy shade, and with an increased concentration of milk, a pastel palette. Depending on the saturation, you can both provide a charge of vivacity, and create a more peaceful and calm atmosphere.
The style of kitchen can be any. Bright and catchy peach tones are suitable for modern trends, more brown is added to more restrained and minimalistic ones, and contrasting combinations are ideal for country and other relaxed stylistics.
In addition to painting the walls, you can also choose a furniture set in this color. This is a rather bold decision that requires careful consideration. Contrasts are especially appreciated here: neutral walls and accent furniture are perfect for this role. This way it will be possible to present the furniture in a more advantageous light and highlight it against the general background. A good solution in such an interior will be pillows and other small elements in pastel shades or an elegant wall panel, a picture in a frame.
