What color should the kitchen be in the classical style

Dreaming of a classic kitchen, but notDo you know which color scheme best suits the canons? We figure out what makes up the palette in one of the most rigorous styles, using the example of German cuisines. The classic style is full of conventions, canons and rules. Symmetry, perfectly adjusted composition, strictly defined shapes, textures and materials - the process of creating a classic interior is more like a complex mathematical calculation. And if in eclecticism you can safely combine purple with orange and metallic with pink, then it seems that in the classics the range of the palette is extremely limited. In this article, we decided to figure out in detail what colors are acceptable for a classic kitchen and whether there is a place for experimentation in this style. Correct associations Oddly enough, a real classic interior is built not only on the observance of certain canons, but also on the correct associations. Luxury (without clumsy), elegance, monumentality and, to a reasonable degree, austerity - these are the words that should arise in your head when you see the correct classic cuisine. And the easiest way to achieve such associations is with the help of natural noble materials and the correct finish, from which the color range acceptable for the classics follows. Colors and materials So, from what materialsis the interior of the classic and what colors do they generate? First of all, it is natural stone or wood and all its textures and shades: walnut, oak, beech, olive tree, pine, etc. It is also important to use varnishes of all kinds of noble shades: ivory, pastel colors, beige or sand, dark -green and different variations of gray. All these colors are united by the fact that they are neutral, which means that they cannot get tired or bored, like, for example, bright red or blue in a large volume. Also, in a classic interior, in various proportions, forged or carved bronze details, stucco molding and gilding are almost always present. Accordingly, white color and tones of precious metals are added to the classic palette. A good example of the presence of all these elements is the famous Painters' Collection Royal kitchen model from the German brand SieMatic. SieMatic Painters' Collection Royal SieMatic Painters' Collection Royal SieMatic Painters' Collection Royal Simon Reimer,SieMatic: - In the Painters' Collection Royal model, the most striking features of the classical style are manifested: a neutral color range of natural shades, details decorated with gold painting, an abundance of stucco moldings, old-fashioned handles and imitation of a fireplace portal, which is actually a hood. Today, this model is not produced, giving way to more modern neoclassical kitchens. SieMatic Painters' Collection Royal SieMatic Painters' Collection Royal SieMatic Painters' Collection Royal Newclassic European design trends clearly demonstrate the general movement towards modern style and maximum functionality: fundamental classic kitchens are giving way to neoclassicism, inspired not by the interiors of royal palaces and noble mansions, but, for example, by the jazz era. So, in response to a new global trend in 2006, SieMatic presented the neoclassical model of the Beaux Arts kitchen. SieMatic Beaux Arts Model Beaux Arts -a completely new take on classic cuisine. Traditional forms are combined here with contradictory elements: this applies to materials, and colors, and style in general. So, for example, relief glass and steel play in contrast with stone and wood, and there are shades in the palette.

Inspiration for the new concept was the Art Deco style, which experienced active development in the pre-war years of the XX century. In its heyday, it was an embodiment of luxury, glamor and monumentality and was associated primarily with technical and social progress. Characteristic for this style of techniques - the scale, the use of the rigorous elements of the Bauhaus, the flower forms of modern and expensive materials - are embodied in the latest model from the Classic line. SieMatic Beaux Arts 2 SieMatic Beaux Arts 2 Color Concept Stylerather minimalistic, so the principle of "less is more" is also transferred to the palette of neoclassical kitchens. The most popular colors are black, white, cream in various shades, as well as shades of metals. The walls in these kitchens are best painted in pastel colors to form a neutral backdrop for furniture and accessories. SieMatic Beaux Arts 2 SieMatic Beaux Arts 2 Simon Reimer, SieMatic: - In Germany and in the West in general, classical cuisine in the literal reading is almost irrelevant. Gradually, countries are moving towards modern interiors: somewhere this happens earlier, somewhere later. As practice shows, in Russia classical kitchens still make up a significant market share, but here too there is a tendency to leave the traditional classics to the timeless classics. It is this phrase can be characterized by the collections of Beaux Arts and Beaux Arts 2 companies SieMatic.
