Modern red kitchen: how to furnish it

Red is the energetic colour par excellence. Suitable for the most eccentric personalities, it also goes well in the kitchen.

Red is a warm colour that is very suitable for convivial domestic contexts such as the living area and the kitchen. In order to best furnish a room with the colour red, it is essential to carefully evaluate the spaces, pay attention to the brightness of the room, carefully dose the colour and above all match the hue to the right shades. The colour red, in fact, in order to fit well into a domestic context, must be enhanced and to do this it must be accompanied by neutral shades that soften the energy of red and leave it as the protagonist of the room.

Furnishing a red kitchen, using the most suitable colour combinations and furniture, is an original choice with a strong character. A red kitchen brings a certain energy and vitality into the home.

Red kitchen: stylish ideas for a modern environment

Red kitchen or red walls

To create a tasteful ambience, it is best not to overdo it with red, an extremely bright and energising colour. If you want to have a red kitchen in your home, with wall units and low cabinets completely in this colour, it is important that the walls are painted in a neutral shade. White is by far the most suitable colour to soften the brightness and eccentricity of red while also bringing a brighter feel to the room.

Another popular solution is exactly the opposite choice, i.e. to choose neutral coloured wall units and furniture and to apply red to the walls behind the kitchen, painting them red, inserting red wallpaper or tiles. This decorative solution is not recommended in rather small and cramped rooms, while it is appreciated in larger spaces.

Sideboards and kitchen cupboards in red

Sideboards and kitchen cupboards define the kitchen room with elegance and functionality. They are practical and convenient as they allow a variety of objects to be stored inside. They are pleasing to the eye thanks to their aesthetics with a refined design and attractive look.

The Bontempi Casa Cosmopolitan sideboard in crystal, for example, is a system of cupboards and storage units, available in various models and sizes. It features hinged doors, clear glass shelves and a groove opening system. Drawers, tops, fronts and doors are in lacquered or scratch-resistant glass, available in different colour finishes, such as red. The Cosmopolitan sideboard is a modern piece of furniture, ideal for furnishing an open space, a living room or a red kitchen.

The Bontempi Casa Cosmopolitan wooden sideboard is another version of the sideboard designed by Bontempi Casa. This wooden model is also available in the red version, a perfect solution for modern yet elegant furniture.

Red designer chairs

Tables and chairs are indispensable furniture in a kitchen. The room dedicated to the kitchen is not always a comfortable space to accommodate large tables and chairs. There are modern and linear solutions, with clean and minimal lines, capable of adapting to any context.

The Cattelan Italia Easy chair in red, for example, is characterised by a simple and modern design, perfect for large and small kitchens. Made with a chrome-plated steel frame, backrest and seat in polypropylene, it is characterised by an inclined and enveloping backrest able to guarantee comfort and correct posture. Cattelan Italia’s Easy chair has an additional advantage in that it is stackable, a useful space-saving quality. The sled legs, then, give it a light and refined look.

And again, the Sabrina Casprini chair in red has simple, clean lines and a minimalist taste that means it can be placed in the most varied environments, such as a kitchen where the star colour is red.

The Kicca One Kastel chair is a red chair designed to furnish domestic and contract environments. It is distinguished essentially by its comfort and linear design, guaranteeing quality and uniqueness in design solutions. Kicca is made of reinforced polypropylene and glass fibre. The seat can be made even more comfortable by adding a cushion on the seat.

Details in red: appliances, tableware and fabrics

Red is undoubtedly a special colour, you either love it or hate it, there is often no middle ground. If you want to include red in a room such as the kitchen, avoiding the choice of red furniture, you can play with the details. In the kitchen, you know, utensils, dishes and appliances are the real protagonists, so you can bring red through these elements, opting for a red refrigerator, a food processor, dishes, pots and pans in red, defining the look with fabrics in the same energising hue.
