Key Features
The main law of pop art is the absence of any laws and boundaries. Moreover, this applies to furniture and accessories, and, most importantly, colors.
Attention! All shades that are considered incompatible in other styles, or are generally prohibited for use, are allowed and even welcomed in the "boom".
Do you want to paint each wall or ceiling in three different colors? Please! Want every cabinet in your kitchen to shine with all the colors of the rainbow? Yes, who will forbid you! Moreover, the most acidic shades, "despised" in other classical styles, welcome "guests" in pop art so much that someone's portrait on the central wall with blue lips and green skin will be the real pride of the owner of the kitchen. From here, you can identify the central features of the style:
Pop art kitchen - a true riot of colors. Multi-colored planes, furniture surfaces, a lot of neon lighting, the most unimaginable color contrasts. Against the background of cacophonic colors, furniture should not stand out with complex shapes or expensive materials, but unusual textures are welcome. Everything should be as simple, functional, ergonomic as possible. Pop art is the style of freedom-loving people, so there is no need to clutter up the room.
For your information. Boom is not an exclusive style. There should be nothing unique here. On the contrary, factory stamping, replication is encouraged. This applies, first of all, to well-recognized prints.
The god of style - Andy Warhol - was the first to think of "singing" ... a tin can, a package of sausages, which is quite acceptable, in fact, in the kitchen. Posters or pictures on the walls showing batteries of canned food, cans and bottles of lemonade, tomato paste in the most crazy and paradoxical colors - a true highlight of Pop Art.
Another basis of the style is a variety of creativity. Furniture, accessories, various handmade installations are welcome in every possible way. And for this you can use completely inexpensive, artificial materials - plastic, metal, paper and even recyclable materials.
It is not at all necessary to acquire new stools, for example. Can be made from a stack of magazines tied with twine or an old leather belt. Or put a bunch of flowers ... in a can of green peas.
Registration rules
To get the perfect pop art kitchen, its space must be filled with the following items:
Pop art is colorful. But for balance, you can combine acidity with completely clean, light walls, floor, ceiling. Both white and gray with a touch of chrome gloss are welcomed. You can use wallpaper for the walls, creating a variety of optical illusions.
When it comes to sculptures, figurines, many are presented with works in the classical style. Applicable to pop art, these will not be Greek gods and heroes, but ... pink elephants, green dogs, colorful hippos, funny Mickey Mouses or Charlie Chaplin in acid tones. Most often they are made of plaster, plastic, polyurethane, papier-mâché. The theme of paintings, reproductions has already been touched upon above.
In addition to the "canning" theme, pop painting is portraits of stars of both past years and today. Moreover, the palette of such portraits is always deliberately flashy.
Pop art modern kitchen welcomes bright textiles. And if you have the ability for needlework, you can purchase fabric of completely unimaginable, crazy colors and make curtains with your own hands. You can also try to look for kitchen textile sets with labels from well-known companies that produce food, drinks, or with prints in the spirit of mass culture or "graffiti".
Speaking of graffiti. This is a great option for decorating an apron or accent wall. You can paint the apron yourself or buy plastic with a graffiti print that matches the style. The subjects of such drawings can be different: from fantastic canned food to acidic Marilyn Monroe or Michael Jackson.
note! An apron will look interesting if its coloring is a kind of collection of images of brands and brands, names of goods, well-known companies. Or maybe you will set aside a wall for images of characters from the Marvell or Disney universe: on the ceiling you have a giant Spider-Man figure, and from behind the kitchen cabinets the faces of seven dwarfs will peep out.
Pop art furniture
A designer boom kitchen should have a minimum of furniture items. Their colors will depend on the color of the walls: if they are light, then the furniture can be bright, and vice versa. Plain options are preferred. You should choose a headset made of plastic with a metal, chrome finish. There should be no wood, stone, other expensive natural materials. A great option is modular furniture or folding structures.
If we talk about the geometric shape, then preference should be given to round, oval models of small, simple shapes so that the furniture can be easily moved, rearranged. The fronts of the cabinets should be monochromatic, bright, the handles should be small, inconspicuous, rounded.
No pop art kitchen can do without appliances and sinks. The latter should be chosen a shiny, ordinary stainless steel shape. But the technique can be of various colors: a green refrigerator, a red toaster, a yellow kettle, a purple microwave, etc.d. If you can find a refrigerator with polka dots, it will be real chic! If not, no one bothers you to paint it in the spirit of Andy Warhol, turning the refrigeration unit into ... a fence, on which, for example, "hooligans-graffiti" worked.
Remember that pop art welcomes all creativity, regardless of your level of professional skill!
