Modern kitchen. What floor should the arrangement be based on?
In a modernly arranged home space, the kitchen is the heart of the home. A completely new approach to design allowed her to open up to the dining room and living room and made it here that family life takes place from morning to evening. It is a place for everyday, common meals, evening conversations, but also culinary meetings with friends. In order for it to perform its functions well, it must be properly arranged. Let's start with the floor!
The enormity and variety of floor tile collections available on the market means that we often do not know what to choose and how to combine our favorite materials and colors. Here are some proven ideas.
Gray in an elegant edition
Contrasting combinations work perfectly regardless of the space. Therefore, a kitchen based on light gray tiles accompanied by much darker furniture will delight in every edition. - As the basis for the arrangement, it is worth choosing large-format elements with a modern concrete structure in a matte or lappato finish, e.g. from the Apenino or Cambia collections - advises Tomasz Glegoła, Cerrad's Marketing Director. We can bet on furniture in the color of intense brown with a visible pattern of wood, which will be accompanied by slightly darker than the floor marble tops. An interesting effect can be obtained by combining furniture fronts with a smooth, matte surface in graphite color with a light floor. - And if we care about modernity in a classic version, let's opt for marble from the Marquina collection - its almost white, perfectly smooth, glossy surface will play with the blackness of the modernist island and wall decorations - he adds.
Interiors filled with natural light
Modern style is quite a capacious term. It deserves its name both sparingly arranged interiors with a minimum of decorations, raw post-industrial spaces, but also rooms full of light and natural accessories, decorated in a Scandinavian climate. In it, kitchens open to the dining room look especially good, the basis of the arrangement of which are stoneware tiles in the color of light beige or melange gray. The warm color of wood in the form of simple furniture and a table with chairs will perfectly harmonize with them. These, however, can be successfully replaced with a bolder color, such as deep sea green, which will bring a bit of dynamism to the interior. The whole is complemented by modern, designer chandeliers and interesting kitchen accessories.
Modernity based on wood
Although at first glance, a wooden floor may conflict with the modern style in the kitchen, the other elements of the arrangement, properly matched to it, will create an interesting interior with a fashionable hint of eco. – We can bet on gres tiles, e.g. from the Fuerta or Lusacca collections, which will perfectly cope with intensive kitchen use. An interesting procedure will be to arrange them in a traditional herringbone pattern , suggests Tomasz Glegoła. So that the interiors are not dominated by the pattern of wood, let's introduce a lot of white to them - let's paint the walls in this way and let's match them with smooth fronts with hidden handles. In contrast, it is worth breaking the whole thing with black elements in the form of chairs and modern household appliances.
Industrial kitchen
No one needs convincing that the industrial kitchen - despite associations with old post-industrial interiors - is synonymous with modernity. Such interiors will captivate with the simplicity of solutions and delight with the beautiful display of structural elements of the building, which have recently become extremely fashionable. In the company of a charming brick wall painted white, window joinery characteristic of lofts and obligatory metal elements, a floor with a raw concrete finish in a cool gray color, e.g. from the Montego collection in the dust version, will be the best choice.
There are many ideas for a modern kitchen. When choosing a floor for such arrangements, it is worth taking a moment to decide - on the one hand, the pattern and color should perfectly harmonize with the furniture and other decorations, on the other hand, the selected material must be durable enough to cope with intensive use.
