Kitchen in pink

The rainbow pink color scheme, according to psychologists, symbolizes love, romance, gentleness, affection and tenderness. Moreover, the thinner the shade, the more tenderness. In addition, pink nuances reduce aggressiveness, causing, sometimes against the will of the interlocutor, benevolence and friendliness. Skillfully used pink colors impart joy and vitality.

Along with infantilism, there is sensuality and tenderness in pink.

But like any color, pink has a twofold meaning. Its oversaturation can cause tension and create conflict situations. Therefore, you need to use pink tones wisely, especially since it exists in a wide range of colors - from soft peach to rich fuchsia.

The main ambush of the pink range is to choose the right shades and stop in time

The ideal option is to use pastel pink shades in kitchens located in the southern part of the house.

If pink is your favorite color, try to choose the most pastel shade.

Pros and cons of pink kitchens

Pink is a colorful and catchy color that, even in the most calm shade, always attracts attention and fills the room with an aura of happiness. He kind of smooths out sharp corners, making the interior smooth, streamlined, easily transitioning into different styles. In addition, having a natural basis - all kinds of shades of garden and wildflowers - pink colors go well with almost all color nuances, which gives a huge scope for any imagination when decorating a kitchen.

Pink color is an eccentricity, a kind of challenge, so the demand for its use in the interior is high

Pink kitchen design:

• cheers up - this is especially valuable in the morning, and even in inclement weather, when you don't want to leave the house at all, but you have to;
• pacifies feelings and thoughts, thanks to which it brings calmness, the ability to reason sanely, and not emotionally;
• reduces the feeling of anxiety;
• improves appetite and sleep;
• besides, at the subconscious level, even extraneous noise in the pink interior seems quieter.

But along with this, pink has its drawbacks:

• for many rational and pragmatic people, pink is annoying, so you need to use it very carefully in the kitchen interior;
• with its excessive abundance, instead of an attractive design kitchen, you can get impossibly sugary, even sugary, in which it will be impossible to stay for a long time.

Therefore, when creating pink interiors, designers advise:

1. Dilute pink with any suitable shades, since a completely pink kitchen is a strong blow to the psyche for people who are not prepared or who do not perceive this color. Although sometimes one bright pink chair in a neutral interior is enough for guests to focus on the beautiful design and appreciate the taste of the owners.

   

   Rooms completely decorated in pink look infantile, so it is recommended to dilute the pink range with other colors.

2. Choose the right materials. Designers are confident that:

   • matte pink surfaces look much more noble than glossy;

     

     Glossy facades in pink look simpler than matte ones and cheaper, especially if there is a bar counter

   • pink is charming in velvet upholstery, wallpaper, textiles or carpets, but plastic products are appropriate only when decorating modern or retro kitchens.

     

     Pink in bright shades fits perfectly into the interior as a second or accent color

Where and how you can use the pink palette in the kitchen

There are many options for creating a pink interior, but most often the following techniques are used in the kitchen:

1. Furnishing the kitchen space with furniture with pink glossy or matte facades.

   

   The recipe for using pink is simple - a moderate amount and no flashy shades

2. Painting walls and ceilings, wallpapering, laying pink tiles in the work area, or using several variations at the same time.

   

   Pink color must be skillfully combined in the interior of the room

3. Decorating glamorous glossy aprons with the addition of pink color and lighting or countertops is a modern trend, especially in combination with colored chairs and original fittings on kitchen cabinets.

Whichever method is chosen for finishing the kitchen interior, in any case, accompanying accessories are important, which will complement, decorate and emphasize the extraordinary pink design, as well as bring notes of freshness to it. At the same time, the more color accents, the more comfortable the kitchen will be and the stronger it will be for gatherings with family members and friends.

You can decorate the kitchen space with pillows, blankets, curtains, rugs, vases, kitchen utensils, napkins, curtains, clocks and even household appliances: a pink hood, built-in oven, refrigerator, microwave oven, etc. It is these items that will add integrity to the interior, will make the kitchen at the request of the owners homely and comfortable or luxurious and stylish.

The choice of materials for creating a pink kitchen

The kitchen is the most vulnerable area in the house. A large amount of condensation accumulates here, a lot of splashes get on the surrounding objects during cooking, and high temperatures and dampness are a favorable breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, the choice of kitchen furniture and finishing materials must be approached carefully. Let's take a closer look at what materials are suitable for decorating a pink interior in the kitchen.

Furniture

The decoration of kitchen furniture - facades and countertops - can be varied, and the base of kitchen sets is most often:

1. Particle boards (chipboard) - a budget option for furniture, which is not very durable, since chipboard is not resistant to temperature changes and dampness. Such furniture is finished with a protective PVC film to extend the life of the headset. Structures with paneled doors, simple in shape, are made of chipboard, since bent and carved products cannot be made from particle boards.

   

   The main plus of furniture made of chipboard, of course, is its low price - there is simply no cheaper kitchen sets

2. MDF fiber boards are the best option for the price and ease of use. MDF tolerates temperature changes well, withstands direct contact with steam and water, is moderately durable and keeps its shape perfectly - over time, the sashes will not deform and close poorly. MDF is easy to process, so a variety of furniture structures with different finishes are made from it, embodying any design idea into reality.

   

   The obvious advantages of MDF kitchen sets are that they will last a long time and are undemanding to use.

3. Wood - Elite durable softwood kitchens that are moisture resistant and resistant to rot. Mostly wooden products do without finishing, preserving all the charm of natural texture in its original form.

   

   A kitchen made of natural wood is a home decoration and a cherished dream of any experienced housewife

The facades of furniture sets are covered with plastic, patina, self-adhesive films with a printed pattern, craquelure varnish to create an aging effect, enamel, etc. The principles of choosing furniture are functionality, rationality and material possibilities.

Pink kitchen furniture is a bold decision, because if you use shades of pink carelessly, you can give the kitchen a childish look

To furnish a pink kitchen, it is better to opt for kitchen sets made of MDF painted with durable enamel. They represent the "golden mean" between beautiful, solid, but very expensive furniture made of natural wood and cheap, but not very high quality chipboard sets. Furniture made of MDF or chipboard, diluted with a bright cabinet made of natural wood with a voluminous pink decoupage on smooth or craquelured doors, will become a non-standard solution for the kitchen interior.

Open or closed cabinets decorated with pink floral patterns will harmoniously fit into the interior of the kitchen.

Aprons and countertops

For the design of the working area, skins have recently begun to be used often - wall panels made of glass, plastic, chipboard, MDF and metal with photo printing. They not only protect the work area, but also link the kitchen environment into a coherent ensemble.

Italian mosaic, striking in its beauty, looks original in the pink interior. Modern glass mosaics are as skillfully crafted as they were thousands of years ago.

Italian mosaic is famous for its strength and high rigidity, so it is almost impossible to spoil or deform it

Any interior has its own flavor; for a kitchen, a pink countertop made of glass, wood, laminated chipboard, marble, granite or stone can become the center of attention. Artificial stone is considered a good material for finishing the work and dining area. However, it is expensive, so worktops made of high-quality chipboard in different color variations are mainly used.

Pink has a large number of noble shades, and therefore goes well with other furniture colors

Walls

Nowadays, a variety of finishing materials opens up huge opportunities for wall decoration. In a pink kitchen interior, these can be:

• washable pink wallpaper;
• decorative plaster and wall panels made of MDF or chipboard, coated with wax or varnish;
• painting walls with possible subsequent application of craquelure varnish;

• tile or ceramic tiles are the most practical option for decorating a kitchen.

  

  Pink walls make it possible to transform the room, make it brighter

Floor and ceiling

The floor covering should be selected based on practicality, reliability and safety. In a pink interior, the following types of floor materials are most often used harmoniously in color and texture:

• anti-slip tiles with a fine-grained coating texture, which prevents slipping on a wet floor;
• parquet, laminate or natural board - solid and respectable floor materials, mostly intended for creating retro styles;
• cork covering - environmentally friendly, with good noise and heat insulation properties, resistant to moisture and unpretentious in cleaning;
• linoleum is the most demanded material for arranging floors, it is distinguished by an affordable price, longevity, a wide selection of textures and colors, as well as ease of care.

If you are not sure that you can choose the right color scheme of flooring for a pink interior, then it is better to choose neutral shades of flooring materials.

The ceiling in pink design should match the style of the room. Nowadays it has become fashionable to distinguish between the ceiling in the kitchen, decorating the working and dining areas with different materials, using for this:

• stretch ceiling;
• drywall;

• decorative whitewashing or painting.

  

  Pink ceiling combined with colors reflected in other interior details can cheer up even on gloomy rainy days

Spotlights with halogen and LED lamps are often installed in ceilings. Simple incandescent lamps are not used in a pink interior, since they are able to visually impart a yellow tint to the pink color.

Pink compositions in the kitchen interior

Pink includes a wide variety of tones and midtones - warm or cold, bright or calm, bold and soft. There is plenty to choose from, even for those who do not perceive pink or consider it puppet and frivolous. The rich range gives room for various color combinations in the kitchen design, which further emphasizes the originality of the room.

Most popular color combinations:

• pink + all shades of white - a win-win and versatile option;

  

  When combining pink and white, it is better to choose a delicate and unobtrusive pink shade in a composition with ivory, baked milk

• composition of pink with black and gray;

  

  Black and gray shades are achromatic colors that will always be a lifesaver in a pink interior

• pink color + beige or brown, which will make the kitchen interior stricter;

  

  Pink and brown are a combination of light and dark, therefore, the pink-chocolate scale is most often used together with ornaments, but light shades of wood act as a dull background for pink, focusing attention on it

• different shades of pink color;

  

  When combining different shades of pink, the main thing is to choose the right accents and proportions.

• pink + blue + yellow + green is an interesting combination for creating a rich colorful fusion interior.

  

  In the fusion style, bright colors are considered fashionable: green, pink, turquoise, red, yellow, orange, but it is important to remember about harmony in the combination of shades

When creating a pink interior in any room, be sure to first deal with Itten's color wheel, which will help you correctly draw up color schemes.

Pink kitchen in various styles

Pink is a tricky color. This is a mixture of hot purple and cold detached white, thanks to which passion and cold, strength and lightness are intertwined in pink colors. That is why the interior in pink colors can be made austere, business-like or cheerful and flirty. It all depends on the personal preferences of the owners.

Contemporary styles

A key feature of modern styles is the clarity of forms, the severity of lines and the contrast of similar shades. They usually have a minimum of decor and excessive comfort, but a lot of light, as well as the presence of chrome and glossy surfaces.

It is quite simple to equip a pink kitchen in any of the modern styles:

1. When creating a high-tech kitchen interior, regular geometric shapes, modern technologies, chrome, metal and glass are taken as the basis, and the key colors are white, gray, sand, complemented by bright contrasting details. The ceiling can be decorated in light colors and hang a compact clear-cut plafond or mount pink spotlights.

   

   State-of-the-art technology is what is required of high-tech furnishings

2. In country style, the floor in the kitchen is laid out from natural materials, but due to their high cost, you can choose an alternative from budget ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware. Lay black and white, gray and white, black and pink, black and blue, etc. tiles or parquet on the floor.

   

   Country-specific finishes and materials are carefully selected, with preference given to natural ingredients

3. Minimalist kitchens are devoid of pretentiousness and luxury. There is a minimum amount of decor, strict laconic forms, simplicity and space. It is enough to make the countertop in a dark pink tone and put the kitchen utensils into the cabinets as much as possible.

   

   Minimalism often uses monochrome color shades, allowing the use of one or more complementary colors.

4. In country, loft and chalet styles, it is permissible to use fabric rugs, colorful blankets and decorative pillows, as well as brickwork, but not imitation, but natural, so that the created interior does not look like a cheap fake. From accessories - photographs, posters, fresh flowers in a glass vase and fabric blinds on the windows.

   

   The loft is recognized by the presence of signs of industrialism - a minimum of partitions, open communications, brickwork, concrete, metal and roughly processed old wood

A little effort will result in a modern business kitchen in a pink design that will visually enlarge the room, creating the illusion of open space, but at the same time will be strict, which, most likely, not everyone will like.

Pink retro

The kitchen in a pink retro interior is radically different from the first option. She will be light, extremely sweet and flirtatious. Retro style and fashion trends close to it have the following features:

1. Monochrome painted walls and ceiling with imitation of exposed ceiling beams are typical for boho chic and shabby chic styles. One wall can be pasted over with striped wallpaper, peas, or with floral motifs that look harmonious in retro designs.

   

   In retro interiors, every thing has a practical use, and the decor fills the heart with warmth

2. Laminate or parquet floors in natural shades or two-tone tiles. These flooring will accentuate the vintage style of a New York style space.

   

   For the floor in a vintage kitchen, you can opt for parquet boards or large tiles in two colors, laid in a checkerboard pattern.

3. Light kitchen sets made of wood or MDF, artificially aged. Additional furnishings - restored 50s style bookcases, dressers, round tables and sideboards, painted in white and pink colors. The working area is usually decorated with ceramic tiles in a small flower.

   

   Indispensable for the Provence style kitchen, the buffet endows the dining area with a special charm of antiquity and the coziness of a grandmother's house

4. Various décor - dishes on display in the shabby chic style, chair covers in different colors or with ruffles for Provence, hanging chandeliers or lampshades complemented by spotlights, paintings in massive frames, clocks. The windows are often open, but sometimes decorated with Roman blinds.

   

   Vintage style kitchens are distinguished by an abundance of decor, so you do not need to skimp on interior decoration

To equip a beautiful pink interior, you need to follow only four rules:

1. Create optical illusions. Light pink tones visually enlarge the space, so it is enough to decorate one wall with pink to visually expand the kitchen and raise the ceiling. At the same time, aggressive shades act the other way around, which must be taken into account when designing a pink design.
2. Consider the temperature pink. In small or north-facing kitchens, it is better to use a warm pink range - powdery color, pale peach, light salmon, tea rose color, which will make the room more comfortable and lighter. For southern cuisines, cool tones are suitable - raspberry, fuchsia, lavender.
3. Dilute pinks with neutral colors in a 1: 1 or 1: 2 ratio, although light pinks can be used in larger quantities.
4. Choose pink compositions according to the style of the room. Bright combinations will look interesting in modern interiors, and pale pink or carmine, along with black, light green, blue, white, etc. will perfectly fit into retro styles. Soft and neutral compositions are intended for country, provence, classics and shabby chic. And catchy combinations of pink tones with bright yellow, purple, deep blue, green, orange, lemon and other colors - rainbow fusion - bohemian luxury with the appearance of simplicity.
