What metals are used
Most often you can see stainless steel kitchens. But also there is copper, brass, bronze. Also, kitchen furniture manufacturers offer different stainless steel finishes to imitate other types of metals.
Stainless steel
As we said, this is the most popular finish. Silver steel looks beautiful and stylish, but it also causes the very sensations of "like in a restaurant" - many in the conditions of the house may not like it. Silver material can be given to the texture: to form, dance, scratch in decorative purposes. In the same style, the loft is used by the aged textures.
Copper
It has a rosewood-golden tint: it can go into both pink and gold. In addition, there is a brown-black color with green splashes, as a rule, this is the result of oxidation. Many sources write about the antibacterial properties of copper - allegedly, on such a surface of the bacteria multiplious less and die much faster.
Brass
This is an alloy of copper and zinc gold-colored, which entered the list of interior design trends a few years ago. Brass actively use in residential rooms: in accessories, elements of furniture, lamps. Like copper, it is susceptible to oxidation.
Bronze
Bronze (copper alloy with tin) can be found in the finishing of washes or mixers. It is not as bright as copper or brass, rather a "accomplished" color.
What elements can be issued with metal
Of course, it would be too much to issue all the space by this material. You can choose several items or stop only on furniture. Here are some options.Metal facades for kitchen
Kitchens with metal facades look stylish, especially if you choose a golden finish or a bit aged finish. Brilliant cabinets make the interior luxurious and unique. Such a decor will fit into a modern style, Ar Deco, modern classics and eclectics. Silver metal and stuff with rust raid will be perfect for the loft.
Tabletop
The metal countertop for the kitchen is an excellent choice if you want to add accent and diversify one-picture set. So, for example, the white furniture can pick up silver or gold color. To black - the same silver and gold. The last combination will make the interior visually more expensive, and black with silver is a classic combination in industrial aesthetics and minimalism.
Apron
An apron for a kitchen of stainless steel is suitable for aesthetics of the loft. But it is better if it is combined with the same tabletop. Other types of metal can also be used for apron, they will become an emphasis and attract attention. Caring for such a coating can be burdensome - water splashes, drops of fat fall on the apron. We will have to constantly wipe the surface dry so that there is no unclear divorce.
Plumbing devices
Shells, mixers - all this can also be metallic. With standard silver, no one will surprise anyone, but golden accents or pinkish shades are able to add individuality to the interior.
Household appliances
It is familiar to see a drawing or stainless steel oven. But brass, copper and bronze are less common.
Separately standing furniture
Racks, tables, chairs, stands and kitchen island - all this can be arranged with metal inserts. Such elements will become an excellent decorative and functional addition of the interior. Of course, if there is a place for them.
Minimum inclusion - fittings. In particular, the handles of cabinets. But it is too small accent in order to name the kitchen "metal". But the usual and understandable.
How and with what to combine
The most advantageously will look at natural combinations in both colors and textures.With wood
The kitchen is made of metal and wood - a classic with which it is impossible to lose. You can make a metal apron, adding a wooden headset. Or arrange a large-scale plane: floor, ceiling, walls, and enter a shiny kitchen set into this space.
With stone
Stone texture - light, dark and even color marble - another option for a successful combination. Choose a stone apron for a brilliant kitchen headset. Or make up a table top.
With brick and concrete
We have already mentioned the stylistics of the loft. Brick and concrete - just a typical finish for industrial aesthetics, they look very organically next to the metal glitter. Moreover, it can be any material, not only silver stainless steel. The contrast of the untreated concrete and a gourmet brass, for example, looks rich and unusual.
With natural shades
Brown, beige, white, deep green, blue will look and silver winning and with silver, and with gold. The glamorous interior will turn out if you combine pinking copper or gold with shades of pink.
Features of care
Material Many consider unpretentious. But it is not so. For example, the stainless steel is quite difficult to maintain in perfect purity, not leaving the divorces. Fingerprints and drops from water will be visible on it. In production on the surface there can be a special finish so that the traces are formed less and less, but still maintain order. It is also important to know that any metal (with time even stainless steel) is oxidized. Patina can be formed on the surface. To warn it, manufacturers are applied protective equipment, improving the anti-corrosion properties of the material. But the changes will not succeed with the time. Some even like these natural marks, they scare others - in this case it will have to be ordered polishing.
Scratches also remain on the facades, and on the apron. Therefore, it is necessary to be neat. However, scratches can not be avoided almost on any material.
