Pistachio kitchen: combination with other colors, furniture design and wall decoration

Just by choosing a pistachio shade to decorate your kitchen, you can achieve several goals at once: make the room brighter, cozier and more cheerful. This shade is best suited for rooms facing north or west. On the gloomiest and cloudiest day, the atmosphere of early spring will always reign here.

Pistachio color in the kitchen interior

To make sure that this not the most trivial shade is more suitable than others for a particular kitchen, studying its characteristics, pros and cons, as well as considering options for use (as the main and auxiliary tones) will help.

Color characteristics

Pistachio is characterized as warm, light and airy, and is sometimes called the shade of young foliage, indicating a spring mood. You can get it by mixing two colors in a certain proportion: yellow and blue-green. Different styles of interior design use pistachio as a base tone: Provence, classic, hi-tech, loft, retro, country, etc.

Light green kitchen-living room in neo-classic style

Regardless of the lighting, this color remains virtually unchanged. The subject remains equally intense and positive.

Advantages and disadvantages of use

The shade has many advantages, but most often designers mention the following:

ease of combination with most other colors;
looks equally attractive on glossy facades and deliberately rough-cut wood, wallpaper and tiles, suspended ceilings and linoleum;
helps to relax and recharge with a positive mood, according to psychologists, does not tire the eyes;
visually gives volume to the room and does not “steal” light, so it is used as the main one in dark rooms, and auxiliary in light ones.

The disadvantages of color include the following:

cannot be used as a basis for a monochrome interior, since without color additions the situation in the house will be pale;
soiled - all dirt is visible against its background, so the kitchen will need to be cleaned frequently.

The lack of light is almost not felt

Pistachio as an accent or separate color

Designers claim that green shades can be introduced into the interior in any quantity. They are used as a background, for furniture facades, and also as decorative accents. A large amount of pistachio color will make the atmosphere airy and light like spring.

The color of the apron emphasizes the country style of the room

Accents may vary. For example, pistachio tiles on a kitchen backsplash. It will look even brighter next to a light or dark set. A lamp of this color will make the interior play differently in a restrained palette.

In a retro-style kitchen, a refrigerator with a pistachio frame is an original detail that sets the tone for the entire setting.

Shades

This color has several shades, which are very popular in the decoration of various interiors, not just kitchens. You can choose according to your taste: light, yellowish, dark, with a beige undertone, almost green. The middle one has the highest saturation: it is closest to spring foliage.

Color combinations

As already mentioned, pistachio can peacefully coexist with many shades, and with some of them it forms a very stylish pair. Let's look at a few successful combinations.

Pistachio with white

The interior, in which these two colors dominate, has a calm, natural atmosphere, since universal white can softly set off even a rich variation of pistachio, letting even more light into the room.

Use horizontal and vertical stripes in your design. They will help to visually change the geometry of the room. Thus, vertical stripes on the walls will “raise” the ceiling, and horizontal stripes will “expand” the space.

You can often find two options for using this combination. In the first case, one or more walls reflect a walnut shade, and the furniture is painted white. In the second, it’s the other way around, and this solution is more preferable for small spaces, as it allows you to visually expand the space, while creating a variety of colors.

Pistachio with blue

This pair usually does not act as the main color scheme due to the richness of the final design, but is harmonized with neutral inclusions. In the interior, it is often embodied in elements adjacent to each other, creating a lively, natural atmosphere.

It can be a sea or pastel shade - pistachio will form a successful combination with any of them. The success of the “union” lies in the fact that one color belongs to cold tones, and the other to warm ones.

Pistachio with yellow

Yellow will only emphasize the presence of this shade in the composition of pistachio. As a result, even a few details with such color scheme will make the room sunny and very warm - an ideal solution for houses whose windows face north, letting in little natural light during the day. Bright wall cladding will help enhance the effect, but this is a very bold design option.

Pistachio with brown

Brown can be presented as an independent color or as a finishing material - wood. The second option demonstrates a wide palette of not only textures, but also tones, among which it is worth giving preference to warm ones. They go better with pistachio, emphasizing its natural origin.

In the interior, it can be used to decorate walls - then the wooden set will stand out well against its background. The color can act as a textile, for example, for upholstery. This is a great combination that suits the classic style.

Pistachio color in the kitchen interior in combination with other shades

Choosing the right palette of colors in interior design is an important condition for obtaining a comfortable and aesthetic environment. In the catalogs of furniture manufacturers you can find the following popular pairs of shades.

Combination with olive

It would seem that such similar shades can “clog” the space in the apartment, making it faceless, but this is not so. Olive walls will highlight the lightness of furniture in a pistachio shade. Light beige floors and ceilings, as well as textiles and accessories, are harmoniously combined with them.

White top and pistachio bottom

The snow-white tone is an excellent companion with exceptional versatility. When paired, two such contrasting shades give the stunning effect of an expanded space filled with plenty of light. It is against a white background that the pistachio set will show the full depth of its color.

White is the second primary color

You can use a combination of these colors in any proportion in your design - the result will be attractive in all cases.

Pistachio-beige kitchen

The symbiosis with the color beige creates a calming effect that will elegantly fit into various stylistic concepts. This variation can be presented in different designs: beige walls and green furniture, or vice versa. The neutrality and balance of this palette will make the kitchen design sophisticated. This will look natural if the kitchen is corner or rather small.

Dark shades of natural wood

The combination of facades in shades of dark wood and light greenery looks catchy and stylish. The most popular is wenge. A similar palette is relevant for high-tech and neoclassical styles. Using gloss helps make colors brighter.

Set with wenge and pistachio facades

You should not use wenge at the same time as pistachio color in a small kitchen (for example, in a Khrushchev-era apartment), as visually this will make it even smaller and cramped.

Decoration of premises

Let's start by talking a little about styles. As mentioned above, pistachio is appropriate everywhere. Very often it can be found in minimalism - for example, in the Scandinavian style. Pistachio looks great next to gloss, chrome, plastic - in general, with all materials characteristic of this direction.

It is also great for eco-style - that is, design that is as close to nature as possible. In such cases, it is customary to combine pistachio decoration with natural wood and other natural materials.

The next style is country, which is also called Provence. It is characterized by pastel shades, as if bleached by the sun, so the cosmetic decoration of the room and furniture should be exactly like that. The pistachio shade is perfect for this, and it doesn’t look boring and dull. Against its background, various decor typical of Provence looks great: small flowers, simple textiles, etc.

It’s worth mentioning separately about the classic style. It often uses that pistachio-golden combination mentioned above. Add to this natural materials - for example, natural stone countertops, brocade curtains, furniture made from precious woods - and you get the perfect classic design, elegant and chic at the same time.

Now let's look at the basic postulates that it is advisable to follow when decorating a particular room:

kitchen. There are two design options. Either pistachio is used in wall decoration - then the furniture matched to it is either light or dark, but definitely from a different color palette. Or, on the contrary, it produces furnishings and textiles. Then, for example, it is better to decorate the walls in bright shades such as emerald, turquoise, and wine. With any option, it is desirable that the furniture be made from natural materials;
living room. Here it is better not to limit yourself to a combination of two colors, but to use a wider variety. For example, add olive and white, or purple and white, or dark green and pearl gray to pistachio. In any case, a room decorated like this will breathe freshness. If you are decorating your living room in a classic style, then the ideal combination would be beige + a pistachio shade closer to light green. We make the walls beige, the furnishings light green, we complement all this with beautiful floor lamps with lampshades, thick floor-length curtains (don’t forget about the lambrequins), and voila, the classic design is ready;
bathroom. You can decorate it with white, blue or pink tiles, install white sanitaryware, install chrome plumbing fixtures and add pistachio elements to this interior. This option is perfect for a small bathroom, since in this design it looks more spacious, but at the same time it is not devoid of bright accents. If the room is quite large, then you can take pistachio and lavender in equal proportions, thus decorating the entire room. In this case, it is appropriate to use various Provencal elements as decoration: wicker baskets, textiles with frills, etc.;
children's room. Pistachio is good because it is not gender stereotypical; it is suitable for both boys and girls. For both genders, it can be combined with white. If you want to make the room more girly or boyish, then for the first option you can dilute the pistachio with pastel pink, and for the second with soft turquoise. In any case, when decorating a nursery, it is better to avoid very saturated shades, as they put pressure on a fragile psyche. Give preference to soft pastel colors - then your child will always be calm and comfortable in his room.

As you can see, pistachio color is appropriate anywhere and everywhere. It is not for nothing that it is one of the most popular shades for decorating both residential buildings and public places. Using it in the design of your home, you will definitely get a cozy, calm, positive and beautiful environment. Good luck!

Pistachio colored kitchen set

Before ordering or purchasing ready-made furniture, you need to decide on its key characteristics: texture and design of facades, as well as choose the material.

Headset design

A key role in the design of kitchen furniture is assigned to facades. They are solid, glazed, open and combined. Any of these options is suitable for a kitchen in light green tones. In addition, in addition to choosing a design solution, it is worth thinking about the number of tiers: there can be two (floor and wall cabinets) or three (an additional tier of mezzanines).

U-shaped ceiling layout

Matte and glossy facades

The choice in favor of gloss is justified if:

the room is cramped;
little natural light;
I want to emphasize the brightness of the color of the furniture;
I’m not afraid of having to clean more often.

In a large, spacious room, matte furniture is often installed. The same can be said about kitchens with large windows facing south or east.

Kitchen material pistachio color

The most durable modern headsets are made from solid wood. Such furniture has only one drawback - the high price. Typically the wood is left covered in clear varnish to showcase its beauty. However, the Provence and country style is characterized by coating wooden furniture with a single-color paint, for example, a pistachio shade.

A significantly more affordable option is laminated chipboard or MDF, as well as plastic. Facades made from such materials are suitable for styles: art deco, Mediterranean, modern, hi-tech, retro and others.

Bedroom ideas

To decorate the bedroom, it is recommended to use the light pistachio color in the photo, which is used to paint the walls. A set of milky, light beige color is ideal for this background. Mirrors in massive frames, forged chandeliers, tables, paintings, and fresh flowers in large pots placed on the floor are used as decor.

If pistachio-colored walls catch your eye, you can neutralize this effect with a bedspread, ottoman and curtains in soft pink, white or peach.

To create a romantic atmosphere, it is recommended to use sea and turquoise shades.

Successful bedroom design options:

Accommodation options

You can arrange furniture in different ways. The position of windows, front door, water pipes, exhaust ventilation and other factors are taken into account.

Angular

Placing cabinets along two adjacent walls is a popular solution for a small kitchen with a square or similar shape. Typically, the arrangement covers the wall opposite the entrance and any adjacent wall (usually the one that does not have a window).

Angular arrangement

Straight

More suitable for rooms with an elongated (rectangular) shape. Furniture is lined up along a blank wall, filling the free space as tightly as possible to leave more space for the dining group.

Direct location

With an island

A good solution for a spacious room. An island can only be a work area with cabinets and shelves under the tabletop, or a combined unit with a dining table (bar counter).

Kitchen with island

With bar counter

The cafe style is very popular, and an absolutely irreplaceable element helps to achieve such a special atmosphere in the kitchen: a bar counter with high chairs.

It can be placed next to the work area or at a distance, but its design must certainly resonate with the main furniture group.

Bar counter saves space

U-shaped

A universal solution for very large and medium-sized rooms. Usually only the entrance area remains free of furniture. The advantage of this layout is the maximum filling of the available space with sectors for storing dishes and food.

Pistachio walls in the kitchen

You can get such a beautiful wall color in different ways. The simplest is to paint, but there are other options. Pistachio walls look harmonious against the background of light furniture and the same floor.

Wallpaper

Pistachio wallpaper in the kitchen must certainly be made of moisture-resistant material (for example, matting for painting). It is not necessary to fill all the walls with them; it is enough to decorate some area to obtain an attractive result, especially when the color is repeated in the furniture set.

Backsplash tiles

Ceramic tiles (tiles) in a pistachio shade or with a pattern of this color are a bright element of kitchen interior design.

It looks especially impressive in combination with simple neutral tones: white, black, silver, beige.

Other finishing options

Along with traditional types of finishing, you can consider other options for decorating walls: textured plaster, facing with natural or artificial stone, painting on plaster, covering with plastic or decorative panels. You can give the desired shade to any material to get a beautiful and cozy room.

Interior of rooms in pistachio design

The photo shows several options for rooms with pistachio walls in different color tones. And every time the wallpaper looks somehow special and harmonious with the overall decor.

Bedroom

Bedroom in green tones

If you like to wake up in a cheerful mood and greet the day with a smile, then pistachio wallpaper in the interior will definitely suit you. There is no instruction that tells you which color is suitable for your mood, because everything depends on the character of the person and his preferences.

But a swamp green bedroom will be beautiful if you diversify it slightly:

add cream or pink curtains to the interior;
hang a wall panel with white accents or a light sea blue landscape;
choose textiles in light colors;
and add all this decoration with plenty of light.

The ratio of pistachio and pink with white will look good not only in the bedroom, but also in the children's room. And small bright accents will give the interior its own style and some veiledness and individuality.

Children's room

Advice: to prevent the room from looking gloomy and boring, you can and even need to dilute the color palette with a drop of bright colors. This could be a wall panel or a floor lamp lampshade, graffiti on the wall or blinds in an unusual bright color.

Kitchen

If you are doing a DIY renovation in the kitchen, then you can safely use green in the interior. You definitely can’t go wrong here, since the color of the greenery and unripe fruits of the pistachio tree matches absolutely all the shades of the furniture’s facades, doors, windows and the color of the ceiling and floor.

Kitchen in light colors

Designers advise:

Do not use marsh color throughout the room, including the ceiling and floor. This can be visually irritating and ruin the entire decoration even after a new renovation.
Don’t be afraid to stick dark or light pistachio wallpaper in a kitchen that is narrow and long, small or large. In this case, the decor will not deteriorate, since green is always appropriate in the dining area.
Dark or light facades - it doesn’t matter, even a burgundy set will look great with pistachio walls and a black or beige floor.

Tip: when choosing colors for the furniture, ceiling and other kitchen appliances, be careful with blue and dark purple. These tones in combination with pistachio can play a cruel joke and it is better to avoid them. And if you really want blue in the room, then add it in small things - fittings or a picture, a lamp or knife handles on the tabletop.

How to make the floor and ceiling

The most popular materials for finishing kitchen floors are tiles and laminate. Tile is usually chosen in a large format, and laminate is used to imitate natural stone or parquet boards. The shade is selected to match the color of the walls, most often in wood or light beige tones. Dark brown (chocolate and coffee) and gray shades also look beautiful.

The tiles on the floor echo the colors of the walls and furniture

Often the ceiling is left white or painted in neutral shades. When using tension and suspended structures, individual elements can be decorated in light green tones.

The shade of the ceiling is repeated in the decoration of the walls and furniture upholstery

Using a light green color on the ceiling visually “lowers” it.

add color (pistachio, mint, olive)
One of the positive colors in the interior is green.

I'm considering options for adding this color based on the white interior. Both doctors and scientists agree that the color green has a beneficial effect on the human body. green is perceived directly by the retina of the eye without any refraction, which is why green color is even used in color therapy to treat various diseases. This color evokes predominantly positive and pleasant emotions and has an anti-stress effect: it gently extinguishes conflicts and leads to agreement among even the most notorious disputants. Green color is associated with life, nature, and the planet. It calms and refreshes. Green color brings a piece of nature into our home. In the East, green is traditionally considered a symbol of unity, prosperity, and the future.

Green goes very well with other natural colors, resulting in very cheerful, beautiful interiors.

The olive color in the interior has no equal in combination with snow-white. If the first somewhat smoothes out the outlines of things and objects, then the second emphasizes them. The result is an attractive visual effect of thoughtfulness and completeness of the design. If the white tint predominates, this will significantly affect the overall brightening of the room. In this case, it would be appropriate to choose small olive-colored accessories.

The lightest pastel shades of green: from celadon to pistachio are the easiest for a designer to work with. With these soft, delicate flowers that fit easily into any environment, it is almost impossible for a decorative artist to make a mistake. Together with soft light green shades, a feeling of spiritual freedom and peace enters the interior of the house. The house seems to become a kind of sanctuary, behind the walls of which there remains anxiety, vanity and struggle - this is exactly the kind of house that many people dream of finding. Because of their qualities, light green shades look great in any interior style. They can be used in living rooms and bedrooms, where they create an atmosphere of relaxation, cozy kitchens and bathrooms.

Tabletop material and color

In a kitchen with pistachio furniture, a countertop in shades of natural stone and solid wood, acrylic stone or laminated chipboard looks advantageous. Brown, chocolate, coffee, ash, smoky - all these colors are perfect.

A light countertop unloads the interior

Other furniture

A dining group with chairs or a sofa is part of the kitchen furnishings, along with cabinets, so its color and design are selected based on general rules. So, with light green walls, the set is installed in light, pastel or beige colors. On the contrary, with neutral tones of walls and floors, but bright cabinets, the dining group shows restrained shades. The color of the chairs (upholstery) and table should ideally be combined with the palette of the floor, walls and ceiling.

Pistachio-colored set

Very contrasting color combinations of main and auxiliary furniture in the kitchen are appropriate within modern styles (high-tech, minimalism, neoclassicism), and for a classic-style interior, colors are selected only that are close to each other.

Subtleties of design

The effect of the interior largely depends on the correct selection of accessories. Not only colors are important, but also the correct placement of accents.

Color of household appliances and their placement

Finding a refrigerator, oven or microwave with an unusual body color on sale is possible, but difficult. Therefore, if the shades do not match, it is best to hide the built-in equipment behind the facade doors.

Placement of household appliances

Door decoration

A true classic are doors in white or wood tones. For a kitchen with pistachio cabinets or trim, both options would be ideal.

Accessories and dishes

All these items are assigned the role of decoration, so their design is selected in accordance with the style of the interior in order to further emphasize it.

The main thing is not to overdo it; just a few original “strokes” are enough.

A collection of porcelain and an unusual tap only emphasize the classic style

Characteristics of pistachio color

The color of pistachios, unlike green or olive shades, is lighter, warmer and brighter. With its help, interiors acquire summer freshness, lightness and natural harmony. Therefore, it is best suited for rooms in eco and minimalist style, since there is almost no decor in them, all attention will be focused on the color.

Any shades of green have a beneficial effect on your emotional state. Therefore, they are preferred to be used in decoration by professional designers and simply people who want to refresh their interior.

Kitchen styles in pistachio color

Surprisingly, if you want to decorate your kitchen with a light green shade, you can practically not limit yourself to just one style. The choice is truly unlimited.

Mediterranean

Natural sea colors are appropriate here: turquoise, all varieties of greenery, blue palette. Pistachio will become a true highlight of such a setting, combining perfectly with wood, as well as sandy tones, which are certainly present in Mediterranean interiors.

Mediterranean in a city apartment

Classical

A pistachio kitchen in a classic style is a very traditional setting in which furniture made of wood or its imitation looks harmonious.

The softer the shades, the better

If you choose a light green shade as the dominant color, you will have to abandon brighter tones in a classic interior.

Country

One of the varieties of rustic style in the kitchen looks very appropriate. He tends to select furniture to match the design of the walls, floor and ceiling. A variety of kitchen utensils and textiles with beautiful patterns will serve as appropriate decorations.

A wooden table, cotton curtains and terracotta tiles are all country

Provence

Pistachio is ideal for this style, which is why in the catalogs of furniture manufacturers you can find so many options for every taste. The dominant colors are beige, white, very light yellow and blue.

Lots of air and light - a must

Japanese

This style is characterized by minimalism, in which light green tones are complemented by shades of rich dark wood on a milky white background. The rich relief texture of wood and natural stone is used as decoration.

Japanese flavor

Minimalism

You will have to completely abandon catchy and numerous accents. The main role of the decor is played by colors, and the lines are extremely simple and laconic (straight or smoothly curved).

Pistachio color is combined with natural shades of snow, sand, wood, earth and stone.

Minimalist simplicity

High tech

The deliberate severity of this style can be noticeably softened if you add such a delicate shade as pistachio to its palette. Next to it, even chrome and metallic no longer look so cold and lifeless.

Color hides the coldness of the high-tech style

Contemporary

A skillful combination of modern technologies with details that turn the kitchen into a very cozy room is such a popular trend in recent years, called contemporary. Comfort and decorativeness are not sacrificed for functionality, so zoning space is an indispensable component of any room.

A few bright touches are enough

Enjoying work and relaxation in your own kitchen is easy if every detail of the interior takes care of the well-being and mood of the owner. And one of the most important roles is assigned to color. Designers admit that pistachio for the kitchen is one of the most successful options.

Features of pistachio color in the kitchen

Despite its apparent simplicity, pistachio color is much deeper than it might seem at first glance. The combination of yellow and green tones is harmoniously mixed, providing a natural and not heavy natural shade.

Pistachio has many tones - from translucent to rich

However, this color has its own nuances that must be taken into account when designing a kitchen in pistachio color

Pistachio shades are undemanding and easily combined with a wide variety of tones.
However, too overloaded shades do not suit them: an abundance of decor can destroy the airiness of the color.
At the same time, pistachio looks harmonious with any type of furniture
. A light airy table or a rough set made of solid wood will look flawless against its background.
Psychologists believe that using pistachio in the interior can relax a tired person and give him a feeling of peace.
The peculiarity of pistachio is that, unlike other colors, it has practically no undertones.
Therefore, the combination of colors in the interior of a pistachio kitchen is always predictable. This is an undeniable advantage, since some combinations can significantly change the main shade and not for the better.
Please note that pistachio is not suitable for creating monochrome interiors
. It needs color additions, otherwise the kitchen will turn out too pale. The exception is rooms where different textures of pistachio are used. However, even in this case you need to be extremely careful: otherwise there is a risk that the room will look boring and faceless.
Visually, pistachio makes the room lighter and larger.
Therefore, its abundance is often recommended for small kitchens facing north or west. For southern spacious rooms it is better to use it as a bright accent.
