Combining materials with styles

There are many opinions on which apron to choose for a white kitchen based on the design. Let's say an apron for a white glossy kitchen in minimalism and techno can be made of frosted glass.

In modern style, acrylic panels with a glossy finish without patterns are mounted.

Snow-white brickwork is suitable for the Scandinavian direction.

In country, Provence and other rustic styles, brickwork is used most often.

Ceramic tiles: home comfort classics

Attention:

tiles are an excellent option for the kitchen: they are easy to clean, durable, not susceptible to moisture, grease, and abrasion-resistant.

There are several types of tiles and several laying methods.

• Glossy brickwork
  is a traditional way to design a backsplash: small rectangular tiles that mimic brick create the illusion of a solid wall covered in fresh, clean paint. This wall design looks discreet, beautiful and harmoniously fits into interiors in the styles of Provence, Country, Scandinavian, Classic, Art Deco, Loft, etc. Decorated with appropriate patterns, such an apron will be appropriate in a kitchen in the style of “eco”, modern, vintage, retro, etc.;

This design can be complemented by a snow-white set or furniture in natural shades (olive, all woody notes, light blue, beige, golden, sand), soft pink, light gray or light purple color of furniture would also be appropriate.

• The combined masonry method
  assumes that some of the “bricks” will be laid in the traditional way, and some – vertically or diagonally. Using “wrongly” laid tiles, a small panel is formed, and vertical laying is also used to highlight the top or bottom of the apron. This type of masonry is both classic and unusual;

• Square tiles:
  Large enough tiles cover the wall above the sink, countertop and cooktop evenly. This design method is suitable for interiors in the styles of “minimalism”, English, eco, retro, etc. Small square tiles will be appropriate in a kitchen in the style of “country”, “Provence”, “pin-up”, etc.;

• Herringbone
  Laying Rectangular tiles are laid this way. Such an apron will echo the parquet laid in the same way and will complete the kitchen design. This type of design is suitable for both classic (“Provence”, “retro”, “vintage”, “pin-up”, etc.) and modern kitchens (“art deco”, “modern”, etc.);

• Zigzag:
  This is like a transverse herringbone pattern. Ideal for modern kitchens in pop art, eclectic, fusion, etc. styles. This design will also refresh a rustic or European kitchen.

Matching colors

Finding a snow-white apron for your kitchen set is not difficult. Color combinations are possible in any color spectrum. Let's learn more about each combination.

For example, a white kitchen with a white apron looks impressive and stylish. Nowadays the use of monochrome is popular, so the combination will not seem boring. It is diluted with bright accessories, textiles, and indoor plants.

By combining two contrasting colors, you get a black and white classic. With a black kitchen set for a black and white kitchen, you only need to install a snow-white surface between the upper and lower cabinets. But even in a white kitchen you can create a classic contrast. To do this, you can choose not pure white panels, but with black splashes.

If you add brown or deep blue to the combination, you will get a non-trivial tandem. Often, brown and blue are replaced with red, orange or pearl shades, which are strikingly original for a black and white palette. Often used for high-tech, art deco, minimalism and modernism.

Interesting! There should not be too much bright red, brown, blue, pearl or orange for a bright kitchen. It is enough to add textiles or wallpaper with a slight inclusion.

The combination with gray colors looks very harmonious. Moreover, the degree of saturation of the gray tone is not important, because a beautiful combination can be with anyone. Suitable for Mediterranean, country, shabby chic. The gray and white color scheme allows you to adjust the area of ​​rooms, even the smallest ones. It is recommended to use surfaces with a matte texture, because a reflective gloss will be inappropriate with the restraint of an ashy palette.

To refresh the room, green shades are suitable. Emerald, olive, and pistachio tones are suitable for snow-white color. Various textures can be used: matte or glossy. The combination of a glossy texture with a matte kitchen set in an emerald shade looks interesting.

Blue colors are very beautiful, calming, cooling and peaceful. Blue can be a cold or warm undertone, but it relaxes the room equally well and harmonizes the background.

Mother-of-pearl shine on a light background looks original and luxurious. Can be used for various interiors, for example, French, Mediterranean. They combine an iridescent element with light gray, milky, beige, sand, soft pink, cream furniture and metal fittings.

Relief (or volumetric) tiles

Relief tiles can imitate stucco patterns, brick or stone textures, abstract, floral or geometric patterns.

1. Stucco patterns – chic and luxury. This is a suitable option for kitchens in the Empire, Baroque, Classic, Greek, Gothic, Romanesque styles.
2. Brick or stone – naturalness and simplicity. Such a kitchen apron will look natural in kitchens in cozy rustic and fashionable modern styles “loft”, “modern”, “techno”, etc.
3. Plant patterns – natural beauty: eco-style, Biedermeier, etc.
4. Geometric patterns – conciseness and rigor. This design is suitable for a kitchen in Japanese style, “modern”, “minimalism”, etc.

Backlight Features

Aprons must be illuminated. The work area is well lit for comfortable cooking and maintaining eye health. Additionally, lighting highlights the cladding materials and makes the room more impressive. Lighting can be installed using lamps with the light spectrum directed towards the wall. This method will keep the light out of your eyes and provide good illumination of the tabletop.

If the kitchen set has upper cabinets, then you can install fluorescent lamps or LED strip on their bottom. This way you will be able to illuminate the entire surface evenly, rather than point-by-point.

If glass is used for decoration, then lighting can be mounted in it. For example, ribbons can frame the structure at the top and bottom. Recently, LED lighting has begun to be installed with changing shades, which are controlled by remote control.

Types of bricks

Brick in kitchen design can be different. Natural coverage works best, but it is not always appropriate. It is not necessary to buy natural material if there is no money or space does not allow. It can be replaced with an imitation, and done with your own hands.

Natural brick

A brick summer kitchen should be made primarily from natural materials. For example, natural masonry. It is massive, durable and is not afraid of temperature changes and humidity. But the cost of natural bricks, especially unusual shades, is higher than artificial materials.

Facing brick

It is made from several materials: clinker, ceramics, gypsum, porcelain stoneware. Outwardly it is very similar to natural, but inferior to it in strength. Easy to install.

1. 300 x (15-50) cm;
2. (80-203) x (150-405) x (0.1-30) cm;
3. lining 300 x (10-12) cm.
