Colours
Choice of the right colour takes time and it is important to understand the feel and style you want the room to have. A few pieces of advice from Cucine LUBE.
Natural light is a mainstay for any industrial style because it lightens the deep colour scheme, creating a more intimate atmosphere. If not enough sunlight is available in the room, you can still play the card of table lamps and neon lights which will brighten the room and cast interesting shadows. If you want to make it work, make sure that your light sources bring out those attractive imperfections that are inherent in industrial style furnishings: old beams, tarnished pipes and exposed brickwork are all part of its irresistible appeal and your lighting needs to enhance its minimalist soul and interesting textures. From a colour standpoint, the industrial style provides us with another stimulating idea: hues like grey, beige, white and black clad the walls and create a fascinating contrast with the furnishings. One distinctive feature of the industrial style is the way it draws on different décor trends to create its own captivating medley. For example, kitchens usually tend towards a minimalist functional look, but they can be spruced up with stools with novel seat coverings, reclaimed shelving racks and jumbo metallic drawers. In the drawing room, you could play with furniture that takes its cues from the '70s, by using metal pieces with a vaguely vintage vibe. As for the bedroom, wood should play a big part in your décor elevated with wrought iron detailing.

How to choose the right colour for the kitchen?
-
If the objective is to make the spaces seem bigger, you need to focus on neutral shades or place your bet on a single colour, especially if you want to ensure a certain elegance and stylistic uniformity. To create extra light in the kitchen, you need to choose gloss finishes as opposed to matt ones, which will create pleasing reflections.

What’s the best way to match wall colours with the kitchen furniture?
-
If you have a modest-sized kitchen, it is advisable to paint the walls white, whereas dark walls are indicated for rooms that house large-sized kitchens. Neutral or cold colours on the walls are suitable for modern compositions, while warmer colours go well with wood finishings in rustic and contemporary-classic kitchens.

What colours should be chosen for a small kitchen?
-
White is the solution you need to use if you have to include your kitchen into a setting with limited space. Brighter colours allow you to characterise your composition in a clean and efficient manner, creating a zone which gains depth. You should not rule out using white and black alternately which helps to give a precise division of the spaces.

What colours should one choose for a modern kitchen?
-
The colours that go together with a modern kitchen are more original and imaginative than the colours used in a classic model kitchen. Brilliant nuances, such as Persian Red, create a young, dynamic kitchen, while combinations like yellow-black-white or green-cloud blue-white are capable of making the kitchen a real work of art.

What’s the best way to match the kitchen with the floor?
-
If the kitchen is integrated into the day zone, you need to make the area lighter by choosing soft colours, for example using white for the kitchen and a neutral grey for the floor. If, on the other hand, you have a room with big windows, you can use natural tones for the floor and soft colours for the kitchen units.
