A kitchen apron is still a popular design solution that sets the mood for the interior of the room.
It is most often chosen when starting renovations at the initial stage.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to choose the right apron for the kitchen.
Why do you need an apron?
This is a stylish and practical interior element that sets the tone for the entire kitchen.
It protects walls from splashes of grease, water and other products, which means it should be easy to clean and last for many years.
Materials
1. The first thing that comes to mind is ceramic tiles. They are durable, practical and available in a wide variety of colors.
Designers advise paying attention to glossy surfaces and tiles with imitation stone.
2. Glass panels are not out of fashion yet. They are very easy to maintain. Only the pattern changes.
Designers do not recommend choosing large flowers and panoramas of the night city.
3. Aprons made of stainless steel or other metal are not so popular. They are suitable for industrial style and are durable.
4. Natural stone – marble, granite and quartz make the kitchen luxurious. But natural material cannot be cleaned with all means and it is not as easy to do as with glass or tiles.
Color
The apron can be monochrome, in pastel colors or bright. It all depends on whether you need to add an accent to the interior or make the kitchen more calm and spacious.
Drawing
Geometric patterns, florals and abstraction are preferred. Mosaics are also popular.
Functionality
The main requirement for the material is resistance to dirt. The leaders in this regard are ceramic tiles and glass.
Next, designers note the safety when the apron is installed next to the stove, the ease of installation, and the possibility of installing storage systems.
