Designers say that there is no such color that could not be used in interior design. And it’s hard to argue with this, because looking at their professional portfolios, sometimes you are amazed at how well the colors are chosen from seemingly completely incompatible tones. And despite the fact that the rich red color seems to many to be quite “poisonous”, it is also successfully included in interior combinations. It has a place everywhere: in the bedroom and in the living room, in the bathroom and hallway, but of all the rooms in your house, the red kitchen will look especially unusual.. It will certainly turn out to be spectacular and ultra-modern, because the red color tends to focus attention on itself and is able to make even inexpensive furniture elegant and beautiful. In addition, this color has a great effect on the emotional state of people, improving performance, activating the internal reserves of the body and improving mood. But isn't this the best help to the hostess, who spends a lot of time cooking? Yes, and for family members gathering at the table after a difficult day, such color therapy will be useful.

Furniture for a bright kitchen
It is also necessary to furnish the original kitchen according to certain rules. If possible, it is better to install headsets made of MDF with veneer or plastic cladding. Furniture with so-called curved or radius facades will look truly luxurious in the interior of a red kitchen. For those who prefer to use more economical furniture options, designs assembled from laminated chipboard are offered. But no matter what furniture you choose, the main thing for kitchen sets will be the presence of a facade covered with various shades of red enamel or varnished.The surface can be either matte or glossy, but from an aesthetic point of view, the latter are especially spectacular.

How to choose colors
Undoubtedly, the red color has the richest design possibilities and a bright effect on the surrounding space, but it is these qualities of a luxurious shade that make it be used in a dosed manner, without fail balancing the riot of red with cool neutral tones. In an effort to get a unique interior, think carefully about the color combination, especially since red has no problems with this. It is wise to make large surfaces such as walls or furniture fronts in soft, pleasing to the eye, shades of burgundy, cherry, burgundy, garnet or ruby. Do not try to combine the same bright yellow, blue and green in the red kitchen.. This can create an intimidating environment. But with soft pastel shades, combinations can turn out to be incredibly successful.

- Red walls with a set of lemon, beige, cream or white.

And who and why can be uncomfortable in such a cheerful red kitchen?
- Being in a room with a red finish is contraindicated in hypertensive patients. This is where the pressure can rise. Such people should not abuse this color in small kitchen accessories.
- People who are constantly in stressful situations and are too tired at work will have to order furniture for the kitchen in calmer colors. The brightness of the color of the finish in this case will only increase the tension.
- Do not use red and those who follow the figure. This tone serves as an excellent appetite stimulant, and if you are constantly on diets or regularly arrange fasting days for your body, then the idea of \u200b\u200bdecorating the kitchen in tones of the red spectrum should be simply forgotten.
- Another reason to abandon red furniture, tiles or wallpaper will be an already hot room facing south and east. The abundance of bright colors in the interior will only enhance the feeling of stuffiness and heat. If it seems to you that this is a far-fetched motivation and your decision to acquire a red kitchen does not change this, then at least install an air conditioner in it, so you will be somewhat more comfortable in the room.
- Kitchens of modest dimensions should be furnished with neutral-colored facades, as active red will further narrow the already meager space, provoking the birth of a feeling of lack of air. And in such an atmosphere and close to a heart attack.

Conclusion
Red color is perhaps the most complex and controversial representative of the color palette, but it is always winning. It looks undeniably impressive, but only strong personalities who are accustomed not to defend, but to attack, not to smolder, to burn desperately, not to wait for better times, but to solve problems here and now, can withstand the energy of such an interior. But a red kitchen is not always something outrageously shocking and defiantly catchy. The presence of a mass of shades of this spectrum allows you to convey a fairly wide range of moods and feelings. And if you think about it, red is primarily associated with wine and tomatoes, bell peppers and watermelon, cherries and strawberries! And in what other room can there be only associates of the red, if not in the kitchen?
