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

What color is best for the kitchen?
According to architect Cristiane Schiavoni, responsible for the office that bears her name, mixing tones and colors is never a problem, whether in carpentry, walls or coverings. According to her, blue is a very versatile color.
“Although it is in a cold palette, it provokes feelings of tranquility and, consequently, coziness. Not to mention that it’s not tiring like warmer tones like yellow, red and orange.”talks.
To combine blue in her projects, Cristiane reveals her appreciation for include tones that act as a counterpoint na palette.
“Both white, black and gray are colors that go very well with blue in carpentry. Another tip, but outside of carpentry, is to work with yellow, which complements blue perfectly!”evaluates the professional.

Planned blue kitchen
When designing, architect Cristiane Schiavoni explains that, in the kitchen, the palette can adopt neutral bases, but that there is no obligation.
“It all depends on the proposal. I’m currently working on a project where the woodwork will be blue and the walls will be yellow. It is a more vintage and more relaxed proposal that accepts this context”comments.
Regarding the nuances, the lighter gradient, commonly known as baby blue, is preferred.
“I believe in this appreciation of affective memory, as more and more people want a home that is not only beautiful, but that brings a sense of belonging and emotions”he highlights.
