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.
A muted palette has long been favoured by contemporary design experts. Well suited to any season, including those dreary winter days, lighter shades set your home aglow with warm undertones and natural cheer. When you opt for a muted palette in your house décor, it is fundamental to find a cohesive colour scheme that brings together the walls, flooring and furniture. As a rule of thumb, it is better to go for a flooring colour that is darker than the walls. It is equally important to manage your lighting well because it will contribute to creating intimacy in your room. Muted shades will go with just about everything, from classic to modern furnishings.
They also exude a sense of familiarity and authenticity. But don't forget that before picking your nuances, you must take into account the space available and the amount of light in your room. Too bright a colour and you will run the risk of it looking unflattering and shrinking the size of the room visually. A well-chosen pair of curtains will add a personal touch and help you control the amount of light: white curtains, for instance, are an ideal match to pastel colours, whilst brighter walls need to be balanced with colourful drapes.

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.
