An overview of the colors of the kitchen in the "loft" style

Kitchen design is one of the most difficult stages of construction and renovation. With the design of the almost central room of the apartment, problems often arise both for the owners of small kitchens and for those people who are happy owners of spacious rooms. Both a modern and original loft style will come to the rescue.

The loft style is an architectural solution for the design of a room that combines a cozy home life and a rough industrial space. This concept arose in the late XX - early XXI century, and immediately won the hearts of many.

Generally speaking, the word "loft", which came to Russian from the English language, literally means "attic". This word perfectly describes the nature of this method of interior design for your premises.

An unprepared and not versed in fashion trends, a person can compare a loft-style room with a workshop of a factory or a factory, with a workshop... However, looking more closely, one can note the unusualness, modernity and freshness of such a design.

In order to better understand what this style is, its characteristics and features should be considered:

• open space (absence of a large number of walls, partitions);
• a large amount of light, primarily natural (usually loft-style rooms are equipped with large windows);
• a combination of antiquity and modernity;
• the presence of brick, wood and other natural materials;
• practicality and functionality;
• the use of predominantly light cold shades;
• high ceilings;
• introduction of fireplaces and stoves into the interior;
• many metal parts;
• arrangement of stairs.

As mentioned above, when decorating a loft-style room, preference should be given to cold light shades (white, gray, metallic). The advantages of this color choice are obvious.

• Versatility... The color scheme that characterizes the loft can be used in both smaller and larger rooms.

• Functionality... A wide variety of kitchen furniture and utensils are decorated in light shades (white, gray). Thus, it will be quite simple to choose the kitchen set or household appliances you like. Also, they can be easily combined with each other.

• Neutrality... Loft style is a great color compromise. Firstly, if the tastes of your family members differ greatly, then the light color scheme will surely appeal to everyone - this way, you can avoid disagreements. Secondly, light colors are quite calm and not irritating to the eyes, so the interior will always look fresh, stylish and modern.

Consider the most popular loft-style kitchen colors.

White loft-style kitchen - classics of the genre... In addition, this option is quite simple in its implementation.

If we talk about the characteristic "chips" and highlights of the white loft kitchen, then, first of all, it should be noted white brick wall... This decorative technique is a visiting card of the concept of the described interior. If possible, only natural materials should be used in the interior, therefore, to make such a wall, ordinary brick can be painted with special paint.

With a white loft kitchen wooden furniture will go well, moreover, the tree can be chosen in both dark and light shades (similar kitchen furniture is produced by the company "Vivat").

A gray kitchen can be a combination of two modern styles - loft and minimalism. Moreover, when choosing this shade you can choose both darker and lighter tones (or combine them together). When decorating a kitchen in gray according to the loft concept, do not forget about natural materials. In this case, for example, a table with a glass top is perfect.

Despite the fact that the metallic kitchen is traditionally considered masculine, many women also liked this option. Decorating a room in this color shade will not be difficult - many household appliances are already originally designed in this color.

An expensive but incredibly stylish addition to such a space will be wooden beams on the ceiling... They can be ordered from professional craftsmen or (if you have the necessary skills) you can do it yourself with your own hands.

Despite the fact that the most common and suitable shades for the loft style are those described above, others can be used as additional ones. So, popular accent colors for the discussed interior concept can be the following:

• brown and burgundy (in the color of brick - a material characteristic of a loft);
• black;
• cold blue or light blue;
• cold palette green.

So, you can add a few bright accents - and the room will completely transform. However, you should be quite careful and carefully select colorful details - the loft does not like pretentiousness and variegation.

In addition, if you want to bring some novelty and originality to the loft, then you can make changes to this style, the elements of which can be borrowed from other interior solutions. For example, quite popular is combination of loft and Scandinavian style, and loft and classics... In general, according to your individual tastes and desires, you can personalize your kitchen as much as possible, making it exclusive and unlike others.
