Color refrigerators

Colored refrigerators are a bright challenge to trivial kitchen interiors. This is a new design solution that cancels all the rules of color combinations of furniture and home appliances that have taken root. It rewrites the established laws of design space of the kitchen on the modern motive and opens up more room for imagination. In this case, the color refrigerator does not necessarily have to be bright. Inveterate conservatives can look at beige or pearl models, lovers of experiments will appreciate the rich colors of the rainbow, subtle natures should pay attention to the pastel range.

Deciding to purchase a color refrigerator is one thing, but choosing the right shade is another. If you do not approach this issue seriously, such a purchase may simply not fit into the thoughtful kitchen design. In order not to get complete disappointment instead of functional details of the situation, you need to consider some aspects:

• Household appliances have the right to be in different colors. In Russian kitchens, white prevails. This is a simple and familiar solution, but it is not an immutable rule. Such a stereotype in color combination appeared only from the fact that most of the equipment for the kitchen is available in white or metallic. Accordingly, the choice of one device automatically determines the choice of the others. In fact, the basic principle is that the technique should be harmoniously combined with the interior design, and this does not at all oblige to be limited to the grinded classics.
• The compatibility rule works in all areas. The idea to add brightness to the kitchen is interesting and good in itself, if it is properly implemented in reality. When choosing a refrigerator, it is important to consider how it will fit into the interior, and take into account the basic rules of color combination. The following options are possible: monophonic, harmonious, contrast.

The harmony of the situation is based on the principle of complementarity of colors on the color wheel.

The game of contrasts provides a combination of color and its antipodes: red-green, orange-turquoise, yellow-blue.

• The fridge may be an accent or addition. It depends on what role it plays, how bright it can and should be. It is hard to imagine that a pale blue fridge with rounded shapes can draw attention to itself in the high-tech interior. At the same time, a bright red holder of sharp corners and sharp lines will “argue” with a soft vintage setting. However, it is necessary to change their places, and harmony will be restored.
• The presence of supporting elements. Even if the refrigerator is designed to be a bright spot, other details of a similar color are necessary in the kitchen so that it fits well into the space. This can be a tablecloth drawing on the table, an apron, a set of dishes, salt shakers, napkins and other trifles, without which life can not do.
• Focus on the new model. Diligent search for the right color can distract from the understanding that the refrigerator is not only and not so much an interior item. This is a household appliance, which is purchased for many years. She has to cope with a number of tasks.To buy did not become a disappointment, it is worth choosing from the latest models. They are by default more progressive than the old ones.
• Manufacturer reliability A manufacturer is not just a brand. This is a guarantee that the equipment is made of quality materials, that it will serve properly and for a long time.
• Energy efficiency class. At this parameter it is worth paying attention first of all. Refrigerators are very “voracious” - especially if they are equipped with a large number of additional features. In order for the annual operation of the equipment not to get up in a round sum, you need to look at the models of classes from A +++ to A. A class B model will work well. Representatives of class C and below require increased power consumption.

In the market of household appliances refrigerators of different colors are presented.
