SAND COLOR: INTRODUCTION
Kitchen with sand colored walls. Let’s find out together how to make this particular color the star of one of the most lived-in rooms in a home: the kitchen. In particular, we will see how to match the walls to the rest of the room without losing class and elegance, while remaining functional and practical.
Whether modern, vintage, contemporary or any other kind of kitchen, everyone is free to express themselves in this room, not only by cooking, but also by decorating it. Of the many shades to choose from, many opt for neutral ones.
Here are some ideas for those who would like to decorate their kitchen with sand color.
SAND WALLS.
A striking encounter between yellow and brown, between the static neutral and a vibrant touch. The sand color varies from what we might call the essence of the earth and then veers toward the allure of desert hues or a paradisiacal beach reminiscent of the shimmer of gold or the reflection of a rising sun.
As you have surely guessed, there are several shades of sand color that you can choose for interior and exterior decoration, even in combination with each other.
If you plan to embellish your kitchen walls with a sandy touch, don’t be afraid to be daring. Thanks precisely to the ease of matching you can use this color in combination with white, gray, black or decidedly brighter shades such as yellow or orange.
FURNISHING ADVICES
Sand is a very versatile color, which lends itself well to decorating city homes and even more so to country dwellings, whether rustic or fine mansions.
It doesn’t matter the size of the house because this color immediately gives a feeling of brightness and lightness; therefore, it is suitable for both stately villas and small homes. Moreover, sand does not get tired with time and never goes out of fashion.
It lends itself to any style of decor. From modern to minimal, from colonial to Provençal to romantic. A touch of sand color will always be present in our homes offering warmth to the rooms and making them hospitable.
It can be juxtaposed with darker shades: chocolate, charcoal gray, pine green or blue. The most commonly used pairing is always with white, which is elegant and classic.
PAIRINGS
Sand tones have a strong evocative power: depending on the hue, the amount of yellow and brown within them, and the lighter or darker tone, they are reminiscent of the atmosphere of a Caribbean beach or desert dunes. There are several combinations with other colors with which you can decorate your sand-colored walls; these are our favorites:
The perfect wedding: sand and blue tones. But which blue ones? Navy, powder blue, but also more delicate and lighter shades for a relaxed shabby home. Use darker shades of blue if the room is large and bright enough, and lighter blues if you have small rooms with little light.
Appropriate for Nordic and minimalist style, the combination of sand and gray plays on the contrast between two neutral colors without becoming banal or monotonous. It is suitable for both shabby Provençal and more modern environments – just match it with the right furniture and you’re done!
Green in all its natural shades is another perfect companion to sand. Choose the tone based on the style you want to give your home, from a delicate mint green for a vintage home, to a petrol green or teal for a modern home.
