Bold Black Kitchen Ideas to Impress

Black is a bold and sophisticated colour which makes a true style statement in any home. Rich, decadent and mysterious, the colour black makes a bold statement for the kitchen. This powerful shade is always riding high in the kitchen style stakes thanks to its versatility and the ease with which it can be personalised. Grey kitchen units offer a perfect offset to black cabinetry, whilst using yellow or red shades to complement your black kitchen will put your style credentials at centre stage.

Black kitchens work well in industrial-themed interiorscapes; graphite, Nine Barr and charcoal shades reflect the heritage of an industrial aesthetic, whilst natural woodgrain can enhance the natural earthly beauty of an all-black scheme.

Adding Warmth to a Black Kitchen

When you choose black there’s no going back. Clients who have chosen black freestanding kitchen furniture tell us how impressed they are with the colour’s versatility and creativity. Uber chic and oozing sophistication, a black kitchen is unashamedly bold in character which is what makes it so popular. If you are after a classic look which never tires, choose a monochrome scheme which celebrates two opposites that work perfectly alongside one another. Playing with light and dark can add warmth to your culinary space and create a striking backdrop. Consider mixing and matching your freestanding cabinets to add calm to a black kitchen; blending black with a paler contrast colour can mitigate an overly-dramatic effect, whilst choosing a striking wallpaper can underpin your black culinary space and make social gatherings a pleasure.

How Do You Make a Black Kitchen Stand Out?

The colour black redefines the cookspace and injects a dash of glamour where it’s seldom usually seen. Whether your kitchen is large or small, the sophistication of black can shine through the darkness to bring about a space which is welcoming and comforting. A matte finish can be more refined and less showy than gloss black cabinets, but one thing that a black kitchen always offers is ultimate satisfaction.

How to Incorporate the Black Trend
Into Your Kitchen

Choosing a freestanding black kitchen island can provide plenty of storage for kitchenware, but choose cabinet-free walls and a bright white wall to make a small kitchen feel much lighter and brighter. Open shelving gives the illusion of space and can stop an all-black kitchen from overwhelming the room. Black kitchens are modern and forward-thinking, but this classic colour also works well in kitchens with a traditional interior-scape. Choosing wooden accents and pared-back accessories will ensure that your black kitchen is stylish and will stand the test of time. Adding plenty of houseplants and natural elements will help to bring out the colour and make them pop against the black backdrop.

Why Should I Choose a Black Kitchen?

A cool white freestanding kitchen can really open up the space and add a tempered brightness to the room. Using the colour white for a kitchen is a popular choice for good reason; we subconsciously interpret the colour white as clean and pure which makes it popular for bathrooms and kitchens alike. White is adaptable and suits all kitchens; from the crisp modern minimalist to the classic farmhouse-style, a white kitchen is the definition of good taste.
