The darkest blues combined with white, are a great proposal for decorate a contemporary kitchen. Although pastel tones are more typical of kitchens with a rustic and / or vintage character; the intensity and drama of the darker tones are attractive to decorate modern kitchens.
The idea of combine blue and white arises from the need to achieve bright spaces. White will help us to project and take advantage of natural light more efficiently, an important characteristic especially in small spaces. It will also create a strong contrast with the navy blue, giving the kitchen a point of daring.
We could classify the navy blue and white combination as classic. It is a combination that we know it works and that therefore does not carry a great risk. Combining furniture and elements of both colors in a modern kitchen is relatively easy. Include a third color; that if it could plunge us into a bigger problem.
If we look for a third element that takes us out of that white and blue duality, we will find our best ally in wood. Some wooden floors dark, light wooden furniture… these are proposals that can work and add sophistication and / or rustic character to the equation. Look at the images above and you will understand better what I am trying to illustrate ..
How do we incorporate blue in the kitchen? We can bet on low cabinets or high cabinets in this color. If we bet on the former, we will use a white countertop and kitchen front that blend in with the rest of the elements and create that desired contrast. In addition, we will add steel appliances to introduce a modern and contemporary touch to our kitchen.
We can also use blue in a more isolated way: on the kitchen island, the cupboard or the broom closet, to give a few examples. It is the final result beyond the chosen color combination, it will depend on the type of furniture in terms of design and finishes. A wooden furniture will bring greater warmth to the space; while a glossy or mirror finish will add modernity.
