A huge variety of possible execution options allows each design to be unique. A harmonious combination of colors in a metallic kitchen is achieved by selecting suitable shades. In the photos provided you can see the most popular and successful design options.
How to achieve a metallic effect
Many people mistakenly assume that metallic is only a gray tone, the color of stainless steel. This opinion is completely wrong. The prototype of this shade is an anodized aluminum surface, which has a shimmering shine created by the smallest particles. It is they, shimmering, that create such a magnificent effect.
This shimmer can be applied over any shade. The most common colors used in the kitchen are:
- champagne;
- white;
- violet;
- orange;
- green.
Note! Painted kitchen facades, the surface of which is covered with a special enamel paint with the addition of aluminum powder, are truly metallic. Acrylic glossy surfaces produce the same effect. The smallest particles of aluminum powder create a special shimmer, which, according to reviews, attracts many buyers.

What metals are used
Most often you can see kitchens made of stainless steel. But there is also copper, brass, bronze. Kitchen furniture manufacturers also 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 evokes that same feeling “like in a restaurant” - many people may not like this at home. Silver material can be given a texture: aged, dented, scratched for decorative purposes. In the same loft style, aged textures are used.

Copper
It has a pinkish-golden hue: it can go either pink or gold. In addition, there is also a brown-black color with green inclusions, as a rule, this is the result of oxidation. Many sources write about the antibacterial properties of copper - supposedly, on such a surface bacteria multiply less and die much faster.

Brass
This is an alloy of copper and zinc with a golden color, which was included in the list of interior design trends several years ago. Brass is also actively used in living rooms: in accessories, furniture elements, and lamps. Like copper, it is susceptible to oxidation.

Bronze
Bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) can be found in the finishing of sinks or faucets. It is not as bright as copper or brass, rather a “dusty” color.

Champagne and metallic kitchen
The champagne shade belongs to the warm tones of the color scheme. It perfectly creates an atmosphere of comfort and harmony and adds soft light to the interior of the room. Kitchens made in champagne color with a metallic effect have become very popular in recent years.
This facade design will be successfully combined with many elements:
- make the work surface and dining table in white or milky color;
- Peach and orange tones are ideal for decorating an apron;
- the tabletop and wall and floor design elements can contain any shades of brown;
- the fume hood, sink and hob can be made in silver.
Note! Champagne kitchens need good additional lighting. Just daylight and one chandelier are not enough for them. Add artificial lighting around the perimeter, or highlight work and dining areas.

In the photos provided you can see various combinations and combinations. Choose the most suitable design solution for yourself.
- The kitchen color is white metallic and has a pearly soft shine. It will fill with light and create comfort in a room of any size. White can be combined with absolutely any shade, but if we are talking about kitchen furniture, then you should not complement it with a protective panel or countertop that is too dark. And also try not to use very dark shades when decorating walls and window openings.
- The metallic purple kitchen color will bring brightness and fresh colors to any interior. A floral print will look great on an apron. For purple facades, a tabletop in beige, white, or milky colors is perfect. It is better to purchase accessories, sink and hood from stainless steel.
- The metallic green color is similar to emerald. Its overflows will not leave anyone indifferent. Customer reviews indicate that purple and green are losing their appeal in small rooms. Therefore, it is better to use such shades in larger areas.
Important! In order for the shimmer and characteristic shine to really attract and fascinate, it is necessary to provide good access to daylight. Pay attention to the correct placement of artificial lighting lamps. With this approach, your kitchen will become the most favorite place in your home. We wish you coziness, comfort and harmony!
Modern kitchen prices
Almost any modern kitchen, the price of which is determined based on the cost of materials chosen by the customer himself, is available to residents of Moscow and the region. Moreover, furniture from local manufacturers costs customers at least 2 times cheaper than imported sets, although the quality characteristics of these products are absolutely the same - everything is made from the same components, using similar equipment and using the same technologies.
If for some reason our clients are not satisfied with the initial price of the furniture, we do not deprive them of the opportunity to purchase modern kitchens inexpensively - after completing the initial online calculation of the cost of the furniture, our employee consults with customers. Usually people immediately choose the most expensive materials, and then in the process of communicating with the technologist, compromise solutions are found, thanks to which the quality and functionality of the kitchen remain high, and the price is reduced by approximately 10-20%.
