Choosing a kitchen headset is a serious question, because it is the main element of the situation.

Peculiarities
Many gray-white gamma seems boring and faceless. However, gray includes a rich spectrum of shades of different intensity and warmth. This allows you to create both strict and quite cozy interior. Consider other advantages of choosing such a headset.

- Creating a mood . The combination of these shades creates a feeling of perfect order, purity and freshness.
As for the shortcomings, their little. Some of this gamma seems too cold and unpleasant. You can correct the situation by adding light warm tones, living green plants into the interior.

Materials are chosen based on the budget, as well as furniture design.
A couple of words should be said about the shade of the table top. It can be performed in one color with lower lockers. In this case, a light apron is preferred. Perfectly look a white countertop. It will make the headset visually easier and air. Black with black should be careful. This decision can be successful only if there is a bright apron and not too dark shade of the lower cabinets. In some styles, a beige tabletop with wood texture (retrostil or the Scandinavian direction) will look harmoniously.
