How to combine the color with the custom furniture?
According to Patricia Miranda, the definitions of a project depend on what happens as a whole.
“For example, if I have a lot of information on a wall covering, I think it’s better to standardize the joinery in two ways: from a monochromatic perspective or with different small details”comments.
Furthermore, another aspect to be observed concerns the dimensions of the environment. In smaller kitchens, Patricia’s recommendation is reduce the section that will have a stronger tone.
“A more comprehensive area opens up the possibility for us to be bold and play a little more with colors. I already built a kitchen that was big enough to have two rooms, and then I was able to use white, green, wood and a hydraulic tile with orange lines. And it was very good”eastern
