Monochrome kitchen planning
A fashion trend as inspiration in the kitchen
Fashion and interior design trends often go hand in hand, although often with a slight twist. Inspiration for the kitchen can also be found here. Along these lines, the trend for monochrome looks and perfectly matching outfits is also easy to implement when planning your next125 kitchen.
Following the gruelling years of the coronavirus pandemic, colour came back into fashion – and the more, the better. It was to create an eye-catchingly colourful and vivid contrast to the dreary years in its wake. As this reintroduction of colour evolved, its stylistic counterpart also gained in popularity: monochrome colour schemes.
In colours that match their surroundings – like the walls and units here – monochrome kitchens are perfect for open-plan layouts.
advantages of a monochrome kitchen
The advantages of a monochrome kitchen are plain to see – the use of a single colour conveys calm and tranquillity. Visual faux pas are ruled out and choosing additional furnishings is easier thanks to the use of just one colour. The visually appealing, calming atmosphere of a monochrome kitchen design also has a timeless effect and blends seamlessly into its surroundings.

range of tones and shades
What’s more, using a range of tones and shades of the same colour prevents the look from becoming monotonous. This variety within the uniformity does not upset the harmonious atmosphere but instead gives the kitchen depth and character. Different materials also do this and add variety without affecting the desired sense of calm. A few decorative items in a contrasting colour create an interplay with the monochrome look and add touches of colour.

Materials & Colours
The individual interplay of colours, materials and textures creates the right setting to feel at home in the kitchen every day.
Surfaces and materials create character
From wood, ceramic and glass to a range of lacquers – the choice of kitchen materials and surfaces is vast, which is ideal for those who are aiming for a monochrome kitchen design. Textural and visual nuances like grooved or finely textured fronts add variety without upsetting the desired tranquillity. The grain in solid wood or stone surfaces also adds more character.

Japandi style kitchen
At the heart of the minimalist Japandi style, the kitchen by Ela @casa.oakwood combines all the essential elements for a harmonious, functional home: minimalist design, accentuated use of light and sustainable materials.
To give an example: in the same grey tone, real glass and oak fronts combine a monochrome look with a wide range of materials. This basic idea can be conveyed to a multitude of materials and textured surfaces. Matt and high-gloss elements in the same shade also create an elegant contrast, allowing matt fronts and a high-gloss worktop to share the same colour while still appearing compelling. Therefore, monochrome colour schemes not only stand for elegance and uniformity but also coherent colours with exciting nuances.
