The kitchen, decorated in red and black colors, looks incredibly extravagant. It is so stylish that it is difficult to imagine a family tea party with smoothly flowing conversations about nothing.
The red and black kitchen is rather a youth design, more understandable and close to the new generation. Such spectacular decors may also be of interest to extraordinary older people who know the price of freedom and independence.
It is undeniable that such a style, reproduced in the interior of the kitchen, will become just a masterpiece of pathos and drama, because the fiery red makes the vital energy beat in full swing, and this is very inspiring. The only problem is that people perceive this shade differently. Some see it as a source of strength, others feel complete discomfort. What does it say? This suggests that before you paint your kitchen in red and black colors, you need to ask the opinion of the household. If everyone does not mind, then a luxurious corner will also appear in your house.
Interior subtleties
Nowadays, red and black interiors have become so popular that they can be safely classified as classic. The secret of the success of this color duo lies not only in the aesthetic appeal, but also in the psychological impact on the human body. If you believe the doctors, then people in the red-black kitchen increase their appetite, improve blood circulation and general well-being.
But let's face it: after all, almost none of us, when choosing red as a background finish, thinks of either appetite or tone. We just love that the room looks sophisticated, catchy and spectacular. And what else should you pay attention to when recreating the interior in such a color scheme? Designers highlight four parameters, among which:
- Specificity of wall and floor decoration.
- Lighting and illumination.
- Textile accessories.
- Furniture design and fittings.
The design of such interiors requires thoughtfulness in detail, so there will never be insignificant details in it.

The concept of a red and black interior does not mean at all that these tones will become the main background for decoration. This range is quite aggressive. It just needs to be balanced with calmly finished walls, floors, ceilings. If we talk about wallpaper, then they should be chosen in gray-beige and other neutral light colors. Do not cover the walls with wallpaper with a pattern. This can make a red-and-black kitchen look gaudy and add an aggressive feel to the setting. If you are not very impressed with smooth textured wallpaper, use decorative plaster to decorate the walls.
The floor and ceiling in such a kitchen can be done in coffee-beige or pearl gray shades, but not in perfect white. A gleaming white floor will add formality to the room. The black tiled floor looks spectacular. It emphasizes the warmth and richness of the red companion.
But red ceilings in modern kitchens are not considered nonsense. Although the solid color of the ceiling in this color may not always be advantageous, but, nevertheless, it is acceptable. If you decide to take this step, then get ready for your kitchen to become visually lower. To avoid the side effect, it makes sense to use the ceiling in the zoning mechanism. Make it multi-level if possible. Since the ceiling in a red and black kitchen does not have to be plain, you can make it beige, gray or white above the working area, but leave it in red shades above the resting place..

Since the crazy energy of the red and black palette needs to be constantly diluted and restrained, there should always be good lighting in a room with such an interior. It is clear that in the daytime in your kitchen natural light will cope with this task, but you will have to take care of how the situation in it will look in the evening.
Since such a color design is the prerogative of modern styles, lighting fixtures are also used in it, made according to the latest technological progress. In addition to spotlights and directional light lamps, a chandelier must certainly participate in the lighting process. In recent years, they have changed a lot and now, in addition to a laconic design, they even have a remote control.
Such a chandelier may well be the final point in the difficult decor of a red and black kitchen. By today's standards, it does not have to be fixed in the center of the room. In large kitchens, its asymmetric arrangement is often used and the chandelier is actively involved in the zoning procedure. You can experiment in the interior with sconces and crystal chandeliers. Crystal-shaped pendants, reflected in the gloss of furniture facades, will fill the room with a mysterious play of light.
A remarkable opportunity to control the flow of lighting gives a switch that has an intensity regulator. With it, you can set the brightness mode in your black and red kitchen, which will fully satisfy your needs in a particular situation.
