Color Features
A number of nuances that should be taken into account when creating an interior:
- This shade allows you to create a balanced and conservative interior, characterized by maximum comfort.
- Beige is classic and can be combined with a large number of companion colors.
- Nude tones provide a wonderful backdrop for creating accent pops and mute overly bright shades.
- In a room located on the north side, sand, straw or cream colors can add additional warmth to the environment. A gray and beige palette will help cool down a sunny kitchen with a southern orientation.
Special Design Styles
When creating the ambience of a room, designers often use special techniques based on the ability of the human psyche to react unconsciously to certain signals scattered in space in the form of color and arrangement of objects.
Their forms, the expediency of their purpose. Beige kitchens are purposefully modeled. Being in such a brightly decorated room, a person feels a strange feeling. Lightness of the body. Elevation. The kitchen seems larger than its size.
Of course, this happens with the correct selection of colors. Beige color includes a huge palette. Correctly chosen tones with small splashes of other colors that do not discord with the main one create such an effect.
If a kitchen in beige tones is illuminated by bright sun, you can choose a shade of greater density. Then the sunlight in the kitchen will seem dim. And the white color of the plastic window will not discord with the main background.
Repair and finishing
Carefully selected finishing materials not only improve the aesthetics of the kitchen space, but also have a positive effect on the service life of the renovation.
- Floor. As a floor covering, it is appropriate to use natural wood, parquet, laminate or even planed boards. A beige kitchen will harmonize perfectly with natural stone or sandstone.
- Walls. The flat walls in the kitchen can be finished with plastic panels, covered with non-woven wallpaper or simply painted. For a more creative design, decorative textured plaster or cladding using natural materials is suitable.
- Ceiling. A stretch ceiling with a textured, matte, glossy or satin surface will be a functional and practical solution.
- Apron. For the apron area, you can use tiles, mosaics or protective glass skins with photo printing depicting baked goods or sweets. A beige set will look great with an elegant black, brown, expressive red or languid purple apron.

In the interior of a beige kitchen, the ideal option would be windows and doors that match the color of the furniture. Wooden door leaves and window frames will help emphasize the thoughtfulness and completeness of the design.

Beige color in kitchen design: pros and cons
The color beige is found everywhere, in nature it appears in the color of animals, wood, sand, and even the color of human skin is one of the shades of beige. Thanks to a wide palette of shades, beige can be combined with almost any other color.
However, you need to take into account that among the many shades of beige (and there are about a thousand of them) there are both warm and cold tones, as well as neutral ones.
If beige is supposed to dominate the kitchen interior, then, as a rule, the walls are decorated with it. When choosing the color of the walls, you should be guided by the degree of illumination of the room. If the room is well lit by sunlight, then it is better to choose cool shades of beige for the walls, while warm tones are more suitable for kitchens with low light.
These rules are suitable not only for walls, but also for furniture and kitchen units. Among all the above advantages, beige has only one significant drawback - excessive staining, which, however, does not bother everyone.
Based on the above rules, it becomes clear that for small kitchens a light color palette is the most advantageous, but nothing prevents experimenters from going even further and “playing” with optical effects.
Let's say you want to decorate the interior of your kitchen in traditional brown and beige tones, then the algorithm of actions will look like this: cover the walls with light beige paint or glue wallpaper of the same color, choose a white kitchen set and add a dark brown floor and countertop. In this case, this color not only will not “eat up” the space, but will also give the necessary depth.
For small rooms located in a niche, an excellent solution would be to decorate the walls in warm beige tones, while the apron will be light beige with a gray tint, and the set will be a pale gray-yellow color, the so-called ecru. In this case, the combination of warm and cold shades will create a feeling of distance from the wall.

Lighting and decor
