Choosing gamma
The combination of gray and blue can not be called contrast or very complex. They are close by tonality. However, in the choice of shades, there are still some nuances.
- If the room is large, the contrast between colors can be brighter, and in the design you can use a dark gamut - this is a classic principle.
- In small rooms it is better to make focus on the light range: light gray, as close as possible to the white, sky-blue. Contrast should be minimal.
- When natural light is not enough, it is also not necessary to neglect lightly muted shades.
- In rooms with windows to the south, you can experiment with bright and dark tones. First of all, it concerns the basis in the form of gray.
- Gray - Reliable base, but the blue can bring. Not all his shades are equally relevant today. For example, very bright, almost neon tones are appropriate in the pylistry of Kitcha. But it is difficult to arrange such an interior.
- In modern, neoclassical, Scandinavian and other traditional directions, accurate shades are used more often. Heavenly blue, with an admixture of gray, cornflower, hyacinth - color not clean.
As a third color, and more often even the main one, in the design of a gray-blue kitchen is white. You can also try a combination with beige and black - also basic tones. Brightness is added at the expense of various shades of blue, including turquoise. But to enter the contrast color of the type of red, orange or even purple is not recommended. They will be knocked out of the stylistics. If you still want to add colors, pay attention to the accumulated pastel shades - they will fit harmoniously.
Texture and materials
The choice of materials largely depends on the design style. In the neoclassical interior of gray-blue cuisine, natural textures are used: wood, stone, ceramics, china, or their artificial analogues. But they must be maximally similar to these natural materials. The same principles of the selection of materials designers are used in the modern direction.
Marble and stone texture always makes the interior more solemn. It is often injected point: in the finish of the apron, countertops or in accents of the type of bar rack, kitchen island.
Tree, on the contrary, softens the interior. Moreover, the more it, the more cozy there will be a kitchen. An obvious solution is a porcelain stoneware on the floor with the texture "under the tree" or a wooden table top. Compare two projects in the photo gallery: with wood and porcelain stoneware on the floor. Which one seems more cozy?
The gray-blue almost always looks cold, even if the shades with yellow subtock are used. Therefore, the use of cold metal, chrome details seem logical in such interiors. Designers, on the contrary, warm metal types of brass and bright gilding are often picking here, so they also soften the "coldness".
Plastic, especially with glossy glitter - not quite relevant texture today. It's not easy to work with him. And, if the choice of headset is limited, we advise you to pay attention to matte surfaces and minimalistic design, without a catchy decor.
Cooking options in gray-blue colors
Gray with blue - a combination is very universal. Therefore, there are several possible options for implementing such a gamma.Finish
Blue walls can create the effect of the hospital, the effect of sterility in the interior. Therefore, it is still more often as a base, shades of gray are selected: from dark tones to the two, practically white.
At the same time, the blue can be used in accents: for example, make a wall with textured wallpaper. Print depends on stylistics, relevant geometry, floristics, animalism and, of course, all sorts of abstractions.
Dark or light floor - depends on lighting and selected gamma. The apartments use a light tree more often, in private houses, where the area allows a contrast dark or tile.
Headset
- The easiest option is to choose one-photo classic facades. Lovely, models of blue color with a stone countertop or a contrasting wooden look.
- You can use more fashionable reception - combined facades. For example, gray top and blue bottom. Or arrange them with colored blocks by creating verticals: thus highlight a built-in refrigerator or cabinets located at the edges.
An emphasis can be finishing apron. White-blue tile - direct association with traditional Portuguese azulju. Why not use a variant with a similar motive in modern interpretation? In the photo, this reception in the interior of a gray-blue kitchen looks very impressive. If you are not ready for such experiments, a monophonic tile on apron is a win-win solution.
Dining group
Interesting reception - accent chairs. Soft models and cabinets, and even stools are suitable. The choice depends on the area of the room and style. For example, metal chairs Tolix are suitable for a gray-blue kitchen in Loft style.
In small rooms there are better furniture on thin elegant legs, it does not overload the interior. If the area allows you to choose massive models, the cross between the chair and the chair is now relevant.
Support the focus you can access accessories, decor and textiles. Although sometimes designers intentionally avoid duplicating shades. Then the dining group becomes a bright spot in the bright range of the main design.
In combined spaces of the living room and kitchen, you can even use a blue sofa that zones them. But such a major subject will accurately require a pair in the form of a curtain.
Technics
If you are not afraid of bold solutions, look at color technician. It can be a gas stove or, for example, a refrigerator. But such solutions require the most neutral background, so you choose white as a base, and not gray. The latter is appropriately dosed, in texture, for example, a grayish marble, and in detail of textile type: curtains, ornamental pillows, upholstery and towels.
