- Among the simplest and most understandable duets are lime and black. The design is formed on the play of contrasts, so such an interior is acceptable only in spacious rooms. Then both dark and bright surfaces may be quite a lot. In a small room, a white background becomes the main one, and details are strung onto it: lime, black and green, wooden or even transparent dining furniture.

A warmer palette is usually a choice of such directions as Provence, country, classic.

Photo printing is becoming popular in the design of work kits. A set with such facades will look dynamic and cheerful. As a rule, the image is applied to the upper doors, since they are the ones that make the structure visually heavier. By using a pattern on a neutral background, these cabinets appear translucent. And if you use photo printing on, then the furniture will seem even lighter. Such models are also applicable in particularly small kitchens.

By choosing harmonious finishing materials and a few decorative touches, you can make your appetizing and cheerful kitchen especially interesting and attractive.
It is an integral part of both a stylish set of clothes and an interior that is pleasing to the eye. Of course, there are people who have an innate sense of taste and an amazing natural talent for combining colors, but most still have to be guided by certain rules that were derived from the experience of their predecessors. In addition, there are colors (and lime is one of them) that are quite difficult to “find an approach” to the first time. This article will tell you in more detail about what shades of lime can and should be combined with.
What color is called lime?
The basic description of this color is a shade between yellow and green. But meanwhile, it is quite heterogeneous, and the ratio of yellow and green may be different. The lime color itself can be divided into eight basic shades (images below the list):
- traditional lime green;
- web-lime (the most “acidic”, the brightest of those listed);
- lemon-lime (most yellow tint out of eight);
- electric lime;
- Electric Lime Crayola;
- lime green (the darkest of all, closest to green);
- arctic lime;
- French lime.
Basic rules for color selection
Immortal, classic combination bright color- this is a combination with black and white. This is the case when monochrome severity will be broken by a bright, rich lime color, even when it comes to small details. Details can greatly enliven a costume or a room setting without disturbing the “formality” and restraint of the entire composition. A fairly moderate range will be achieved by combining lime color with cream and sand shades.
If you need a brighter, “dress-off” combination, then you should pay attention to other shades of green or yellow and orange tones. This color scheme will look cheerful and attract a lot of attention.
A compromise option could be a combination of lime and shades of blue or purple. This combination will not look too strict, but it cannot be called too bright either. Blue and purple instead of black and small “spots” of lime color will turn even strict office suits or boring official furnishings into a picture pleasing to the eye.
Lime in the interior
Traditionally, each color is associated with a certain effect on a person and his mood, especially when it comes to using a particular color in the interior. For example, lime color is used for the following purposes:
- creating an atmosphere of freshness and coolness - this effect is achieved by combining with shades of blue and light blue; bedrooms and living rooms are most often decorated in this range, and sometimes bathrooms;
- increased appetite - when combined with peach, yellow, coral (and with great caution with red), lime color evokes fruit and berry associations, which is beneficial when decorating a kitchen;
- creating a “natural” interior is also a beneficial combination when decorating a kitchen, because the combination of green and woody shades evokes thoughts of nature, making the room more comfortable and creating a feeling of freshness;
- bringing bright accent in a setting - in a room made in neutral colors - white, gray, beige, bright "neon" lime accents will be especially noticeable, moreover, they will enliven the monochrome, but only if a small amount of greenery is used.
Lime color in clothes
As already mentioned, lime is a fairly bright and noticeable color, so you should use it with caution both when working on the interior and in clothing, because it is very easy to overdo it, and then it will be too conspicuous, becoming evidence of bad taste. There are a few things we recommend you pay attention to.
First of all, you should decide whether it is suitable for the person. If not, then you need to limit yourself to just a couple of accessories in such a bright shade of green. For example, you can buy a pair of bright lime-colored shoes, a bag or a scarf.
To get a softer look, you need to use a combination with soft pastel colors. You can also get an interesting color scheme by combining lime with pink, fuchsia, emerald, turquoise and blue. In an evening dress, you should resort to a classic combination with black - the look will be a win-win.
Amateurs beach holiday will also appreciate this color. A lime-colored swimsuit is a good thing, bright and suitable for most, you just need to choose the right shade of lime to match your skin tone.

There are several nuances that you need to choose curtains a couple of tones lighter than the kitchen set. This is true if the curtains are light and one-sided.
If you like curtains with patterns or designs, then match them to the style of your decor. For example, geometric patterns and strictly straight curtains are very suitable for the modern style. The eclectic style is characterized by a variety of curls and light, frivolous patterns. They look great on all citrus shades: lime and lemon, orange.

In Russian kitchen sets, the doors of cabinets and hanging cabinets are often printed with half a lime. A similar picture would be perfect for work aprons made of glass or plastic. Another popular print is bright grass stems or flowers. Many people like abstract images on which the eye stops and the mind rests.
Foreign wood-look kitchen sets can be decorated with the same image of half a lime. Usually the kitchen set is made in two colors, for example, lime and white, lime and pine, lime and sand and other attractive combinations. Most often, owners prefer furniture in classic style or in modern, the rest are less common.
Lime has a psychological effect that makes the room seem more spacious. Lime is especially good in kitchen interiors, as we discussed above. Green-yellow clearly separates the kitchen area from the living area. It looks especially interesting when there is an arched passage in place of the kitchen door and the lime harmoniously combines with white.
If you make the walls in lime color, then select the furniture light colors wood or just pastels: pale yellow, champagne, ivory, white, soft blue and others. More dark colors, unfortunately, will visually “extinguish” the radiance of the lime and the atmosphere in the room will give a different impression.

But the shade requires a careful approach to arrangement.
Yellow-green color, unlike lemon and orange, is less aggressive and not so intrusive. Bright, rich, but at the same time pleasant, it fits harmoniously into any design. Lime has absorbed the freshness of summer foliage and the hot rays of the sun. This is an emotional shade that gives peace and a charge of vigor, uplifting.

To avoid this, it is necessary to dilute the richness of the citrus with a neutral tone. A calm palette mutes the monochrome. Designers use the following color combinations for lime:
- Classic combination of black and white. Shades can be either a background or an accent specific detail. For example, black furniture together with green trim looks stylish and sophisticated.

Experts advise first deciding on a style. The tone is able to revive the classics, but looks more natural in modern designs, makes you take a fresh look at minimalism, expanding the usual boundaries of technology. Lime is the ideal cut for high-tech, creating a feeling of endless space and lack of restrictions.
Designs that allow you to use citrus color:
- Minimalism. Saturation compensates for strict asceticism, lack of decorative ornaments and precise lines.
- The usual classic. Suitable for small spaces.
- Constructivism. As a rule, color is embodied in dishes and household appliances.
- Provence. The plant motifs that underlie the style fully allow for the use of not only color, but also appropriate ornamentation.
- Vanguard. Lovers of shocking and shocking combinations use juicy lime to create an extraordinary interior.
- Colonial. Only in combination with a wooden set.
- A combination of different styles. Most optimal solution, which has virtually no downsides and involves mixing shades, shapes and lines.
Glass lamps of bright colors are traditionally chosen for lighting. Boring lampshades cheapen the decor.
It is important to observe moderation and not get carried away. A riot of colors, at first glance, looks fashionable, but gives the room excessive acidity and demonstrates a complete lack of taste.
Apron
Kitchen design begins with the choice of materials for the apron and the color of the furniture. If the room is furnished in a modern style, then it is better to use tiles or glass. Designers advise giving preference to contrasting shades. The lemon palette will add a touch of shockingness and madness. Those who prefer subdued tones should choose peach tones. The matte backsplash enhances the shine of the lime.
Some people prefer fruit compositions to decorate their work area, which is quite abstract and unusual. But in this case, all other decoration should be without any prints.
Wallpaper
Only used for walls plain wallpaper or paint. As a rule, calm pastel colors are chosen for decoration. The leading color can also act as a background, but then you should purchase a built-in light wooden set. If lime is used indoors only to create bright spots, then painting one wall in a rich color will make the kitchen lighter and airier. The same applies to other coatings.
The ceiling is designed only as a suspended ceiling, black or white, without shine. Light-colored parquet or linoleum is used for the floor.
Curtains
Choosing curtains and textiles is an easy task. The main thing is to remember that it is inadmissible to use multiple layers in window decoration. Translucent tulle curtains, plain light drapes or blinds create complete picture. Tablecloths and napkins should also be the same color, preferably a calm one.
When buying curtains, you should focus on the furniture: a difference of two tones is allowed. Textiles with ornaments are very difficult to fit into the interior.
Furniture
The choice of furnishings must be approached responsibly. Color depends on finish. If the walls are painted in shades of lime, then opt for a calm palette. It is better to give preference to glossy rather than matte facades. The combination of solid wood and green and yellow furniture looks especially luxurious. Unusual shapes and irregular lines enhance the impression.
For the countertop you should choose a neutral shade. Black emphasizes the richness of the furniture, while brown gives the room a natural look. A metal surface or imitation stone muffles excess light.
If the area allows, then a high bar counter in light peach or beige tones along with metal chairs with green plastic seats good decision, especially if it is necessary to zone the room.
Manufacturers household appliances offer a range of models in yellow-green tones. Together with the same furniture, the kitchen will sparkle with new colors. The built-in effect will appear hidden technology, especially with neutral finishes.
Modern designers use prints in the form of sliced citrus or flower stems. This solution complicates the decoration and selection of accessories, but the sophistication of the room is worth it.
Lime is a rather specific and demanding color, which makes it unpopular. But competent design and correctly placed accents can change general impression. If you follow the rules developed by experts when arranging your kitchen, then you can easily cope with it yourself. difficult task and create a unique family corner filled with brightness and comfort.

Lime cuisine looks very fresh and positiveOne of the bold and unusual solutions is a lime-colored kitchen. A rich, bright shade, consisting of undertones of green and yellow, looks very fresh and positive. However, you need to work with it carefully - the color is considered quite capricious, so when planning the design of such a kitchen you will have to take into account a number of nuances.
![](https://i0.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-41.jpg)
Let's figure it out together.
Lime shades and interior styles
First of all, you need to understand that the color of fresh lime will not suit all interior styles. Strict, baroque, empire, gothic - here a rich and catchy shade would not be very appropriate.
![](https://i0.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/image-41-2.jpg)
He comes closer to modern styles, however variations are possible.
![](https://i0.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/image-50-3.jpg)
For example, for modern classics A lime-colored set of muted tones with a matte texture is suitable. Combine it with cream, beige and other light tones. For example, lime facades and powder wallpaper. This combination looks very gentle and neat, but at the same time refreshes the interior, adding an unexpected touch.
![](https://i2.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-39.jpg)
Lime is perfect for the style. Here, on the contrary, they are welcome rich colors And . Corner sets with a catchy color look good. By the way, you can experiment with prints. It is not necessary to make the kitchen monochromatic: thematic drawings will be on topic. Decorate your furniture with images of cut citrus fruits or tropical motifs. Bold and extraordinary.
Care must be taken when handling lime in interiors, country,. On the one hand, it can be considered natural natural shades. On the other hand, it is still quite catchy, and these styles are welcomed soft tones.
![](https://i2.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11.jpg)
However, if you choose a not too catchy, muted tone, then it can easily fit into the interior. Soften the lime with an olive note - this way the color will retain its originality, but will become more restrained and noble.
![](https://i1.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01_3-2.jpg)
You can absolutely freely use lime in interiors. The yellow-green color scheme, in principle, reveals itself favorably against the background of metallic elements, and lime color is no exception. Bright facades or a printed apron, decorative elements - all this is permissible and will be appropriate.
![](https://i2.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-37.jpg)
If you're nervous about decorating a lime kitchen, you can experiment with the details. Lime print on the apron or on the facade of a more restrained color, dishes, textiles or decorations - such color strokes will greatly enliven the interior of your kitchen, adding color and positivity to it.
The most successful color combinations
As we have already said, lime is a rather capricious color that requires a special approach. Some shades emphasize its beauty and depth, while others can “kill” it, completely blurring the impression of a bright kitchen.
![](https://i2.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-36.jpg)
First of all, remember the main rule - since lime is a mixture of two tones, the remaining colors should be as pure as possible. This means rich shades without obvious tones. This way you will be able to avoid visual overload in your kitchen.
![](https://i2.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-35.jpg)
Classic white goes well with lime tones. However, you need to choose the right tone: oddly enough, white can be very diverse. Consider the thermal scheme of your kitchen and do not mix cold shades with warm ones.
![](https://i0.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-32.jpg)
The combinations can be very diverse: white set looks expressive against the backdrop of rich lime walls. Conversely, white walls will emphasize the expressive tone of citrus furniture.
If the white color seems boring to you, replace it with something close in scale - cream, vanilla, cloudy. Evaluate the purity of the shade - a grayish impurity in this case will be unnecessary.
In a duet with black, lime tones look strict, even somewhat noble. This combination is well suited for high-tech or kitchens. However, be careful: this solution is not suitable for too many. You will visually reduce the room even more. The exception is if the lime tone dominates, and black acts as an additional color and simply emphasizes its saturation.
![](https://i1.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/image-67-1.jpg)
But in spacious kitchens you can experiment at your own discretion: any combinations and proportions are allowed here.
Woody notes in combination with lime - another almost classic solution. We recommend avoiding light wood species - pine and birch look pale against a lime background. But dark wood will look interesting, emphasized by rich greenery.
![](https://i0.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-5.jpg)
Optimal choice- or dark oak. Karelian birch is also quite suitable, but it is now more often found in the form of imitation. Try a two-tone kitchen—for example, a dark wood bottom and a lime green top. The opposite is also possible, but in this case the room will visually become lower, which means that the technique is only suitable for kitchens with high walls. Experiment with textures - matte wood and glossy lime look very decent.
![](https://i1.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-4.jpg)
A fashionable design feature is a combination of lime and zebrawood. Textured striped material looks interesting on its own, but in combination with a rich citrus tone it reveals itself even more interesting. However, be careful when choosing materials: if the stripes are uneven or sloppy, the lime will highlight this flaw. Therefore you need to search quality materials zebrawood if you don’t want to visually reduce the cost of your kitchen.
![](https://i1.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-14.jpg)
Lime harmonizes well with all shades of beige and brown. Use the color wheel to find suitable combination tones And remember that it is not advisable to mix the warm and cold segments - in this case, the lime may be too sharp against a restrained background.
![](https://i0.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-18.jpg)
The combination of lime with various bright colors looks bold and unusual. For example, for large kitchen An extraordinary solution would be a combination of red and lime. However, keep in mind that the rest of the interior in this case should be discreet - for example, white walls and ceiling, brown floor. Otherwise, your eyes will get tired too quickly.
![](https://i1.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-1-1.jpg)
An almost classic combination - lime with color sea wave or turquoise. In fact, all three shades are based on green, diluted with yellow or blue in a certain proportion. Therefore, you can safely experiment - the colors complement each other, allowing you to create beautiful and unusual interior.
![](https://i2.wp.com/dizainkyhni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/kuhnya-cveta-lajm.jpg)
For lovers of shocking, we recommend trying to combine lime with various shades of pink - fuchsia, purple, pink. The solution is quite extraordinary, so it is better to consult with a designer - it is extremely important to choose tones that are in harmony with each other, otherwise the kitchen will look ridiculous.

Soft lilac and lime is another one interesting option. In this case, it is better to abandon glossy textures, giving preference to matte ones. This way you can create unusual cuisine non-traditional colors.

Selection of furniture and kitchen units for the dining area
When working with complex colors, it is very important to pay attention correct selection furniture. We strongly do not recommend creating a monochromatic lime kitchen: a fairly catchy color is unlikely to please you for a long time; rather, it will begin to irritate you within a month.
