Zebrano wood kitchen set
What is the reason for such a rapid popularity of zebrano kitchens, what they are, what colors they are combined with, and what accessories can be added to the room with zebrano sets in order to make your kitchen unsurpassed? We offer answers to these questions in this article.
Zebrano is a tree native to Africa. As you might guess, it is called so due to the unique pattern of wood, reminiscent of the color of the skin of a zebra. In an incredible way, light and dark stripes alternate in it, playing brightly in contrast. Let's say right away that the color palette of this tree is not limited to zebra color only. Non-parallel streams of stripes of various shades (from dark brown to bright black) flow smoothly against an equally diverse background, the gamut of which includes the entire spectrum of colors, from pale golden to dark brown.

I would like to note one more interesting feature of zebrano: the pattern on this wood can be located not only horizontally or vertically, but also diagonally, which opens up extraordinary possibilities for decorating kitchen sets. At the same time, a polished surface with a change in the strength and direction of light is able to surprisingly play with different colors, like a chameleon, changing from the lighting.

The reward for courage will be the natural splendor of zebrano. And it doesn’t matter what you decorate with this ornament, and it can be not only kitchen furniture, but also the floor, tiles, porcelain stoneware, or just separate inserts in the interior.

Zebrano kitchens: beauty and practicality
Outstanding damage resistance and extreme strength make zebrawood the best choice for kitchen furniture. Although a set completely made of this type of wood alone can only be afforded by very rich people, because zebrano is a very rare and valuable tree.
That is why, in the vast majority of cases, zebrano kitchens are made from MDF or chipboard, only their surfaces are veneered with zebrano veneer. Another option with which you can reduce the cost of furniture are film and plastic coatings that imitate the texture of zebrano.

The most important thing is not to overdo it with such a spectacular color..
After all, a kitchen set made entirely of zebrano will look too colorful, and if you use this color only for some facades, you can achieve a great look. It is better to give preference to kitchen furniture, in which the bottom will be decorated with zebrano patterns, and the top is made in light colors. Thanks to this solution, you can create a feeling of lightness, while the kitchen visually enlarges.
In furniture design, it is better to do without unnecessary elements, preference should be given to simplicity and conciseness. But the choice is not limited to straight facades, rounded shapes will also look great. Roof rails, steel handles, as well as translucent glass and aluminum profiles, with their severity, once again focus on warm zebrano, therefore, designers strongly recommend using such elements in decorating a kitchen set.
Combination of steel with zebrano
The warm zebrano blends beautifully with the coldness of steel. That is why in your kitchen, more than ever, the presence of not only steel handles and other fittings, but also large household appliances such as a steel refrigerator or dishwasher will be relevant. At the same time, aluminum fittings and appliances will look equally impressive.
It is recommended that kitchen furniture is not in dissonance with the refrigerator, stove and other interior elements. It will look great together with a set with a pattern taken away, a sink made of steel or pomegranate, high-tech appliances or a countertop made of artificial stone.

How to emphasize the luxury of zebrano in the interior of the kitchen
Bright and contrasting zebrano will always be an active part of the interior, so the same bright competitors are unlikely to get along next to him. It is not uncommon for an attempt to decorate a room in which this pattern plays the main role can lead to the opposite effect, excessive variegation simply levels out the magnificence and luxury of zebrano. In order for the interior of the kitchen with zebrano motifs to play with all its splendor, you should follow a few simple tips:
- Do not overload the interior with unnecessary details and accessories, it should be as simple and concise as possible.
- Pair zebrano kitchen units with soothing floor and wall colors. Cream, vanilla and milky white will be a great backdrop for furniture, with their warmth they will smooth out the variegation of zebrano. As for the golden hues of this wood, they get along with a wider palette of colors, but the combination with too dark and cold tones can deprive the kitchen of comfort.
- If you decide to execute your kitchen in a neutral palette, then you definitely need to add brightness to the interior. This can be done with the help of such warm and cheerful colors as orange, apricot, pistachio, scarlet, coral. Correctly placed accents with the help of bright accessories will be an excellent way out, and it can even be a kitchenette, household appliances or a kettle in the original coloring. Thus, your kitchen will definitely not look gloomy and dull.

The combination of a light top and a dark bottom in a zebrano kitchen
As we have already said, a harmonious combination can be achieved by combining zebrano with light colors. The ideal solution in this case would be the union of a dark bottom and a light top., thus your kitchen will become visually much larger, and the interior will be filled with lightness. A dark dining set and light tile will be a feature of your zebrano kitchen. But in no case should you combine the dark bottom of the furniture with dark tiles, since the lower facades will simply be lost in all this darkness.

An excellent solution would be to play on the contrast of zebrano stripes, if a light tone prevails in the pattern, then the furniture should be dark and vice versa, respectively. In no case should you combine zebrano furniture with zebrano flooring. Such a motley union will look pretty pointless. But the combination with an oak floor or a walnut bar counter, on the contrary, is able to emphasize the luxury and splendor of African wood.
The only option when a zebrano floor gets along with furniture of the same color is when the furniture has only small zebrano inserts, and its main tone will be darker or lighter.
