Here are the colors suitable for the modern kitchen

If you've always dreamed of a modern home, you know that the choice of colors and furnishings plays a particularly significant role. For the right look, you need the right colors for the kitchen walls and furniture. From all-white to all-black, through strong contrasts and neon colors, here are our suggestions.

An all-white kitchen

White is an option that always makes an impression. Refined, discreet, and bright, it is undoubtedly one of the most suitable colors for kitchen furniture, especially if it is small. Its ability to reflect light, in fact, gives the sensation of amplifying spaces and making them more welcoming.

White's only flaw is that it stains easily, and when you're in the kitchen, you know full well that accidents can happen. However, a little daily maintenance with a degreaser based on natural ingredients is enough to get around the problem.

This shade matches perfectly with any style of furniture, and the addition of a small accessory, like a beautiful plant, is enough to bring an extra touch of personality.

The elegance of total black

Black is the color of elegance par excellence. With its refinement, it makes any space exclusive and full of style. Even if it's not among the most suitable colors for kitchen walls - which would appear dull and too bright - all-black is very suitable for furnishing, also due to its ability to hide stains. To prevent the room from appearing too austere overall, we recommend carefully designing a good lighting system with spotlights and warm-toned LEDs.

Gray and other neutral shades

If you're worried about the saturation effect that black can cause, or if you're not convinced by a space that's too white, gray is the middle ground for you. Marble floors and countertops combined with light wood elements immediately convey brightness and cleanliness. In addition to shades of gray, other neutral and delicate shades like beige or dove gray are also suitable, easy to match with any color. These shades, in our opinion, are particularly suitable if you are furnishing the kitchen and living room together. Their versatility It makes them suitable for many different environments and styles to integrate perfectly with the living room.
