If you’ve never considered a black kitchen, you’ll change your mind after seeing these stunning black kitchen designs.
Glamor is given in a black kitchen. But black can also work well in a rustic, modern, and romantic kitchen setting.
Black also brings a level of boldness and sometimes might appear masculine, but you can add your flair to create your mood’s black kitchen, using contrast, texture, and accents. What black does is create a cohesive background for all of them.
Stunning Black Kitchen Ideas 2024
You want to watch out for an overload of black that can make your kitchen into a gloomy cave, which is the opposite effect of what you’d want in a kitchen.
A trick of the designer trade is to counter all that black with generous amounts of a lighter, brighter, contrasting color. Using a high-contrast color could also help make the space seem larger because black tends to shrink a space by absorbing light.
Once you get the ratio right for how much black you use in your kitchen, you can go to town on what kind of cherry you want to add on top – Copper, Gold, or Chrome.
Everything works well with black if you do it right.
1. Amp up the Glam
Glamorous Black Kitchen Design
The entire ceiling is painted black, including the supporting beams, and yet what you see is not the black but the grand chandelier taking center stage. The supporting characters aren’t too shabby either – the metallic paneling on the island and the big white pendant lights over it. It helps that there’s a skylight to bring in more light.
2. Anything but Basic
Even the exterior walls are painted black in this beautiful country house, but it only acts as a foil for the large plate glass windows looking out into nature. The black here acts as the backdrop for the changing scenery of seasons. The industrial pendant lights, all in a row, add some interest to the space.
3. High Contrast Statement
Black and Yellow Contrasting Charm
If you think black is bold, how about a high-gloss yellow? The bright yellow adds a dose of fun and charm to this space, which would have otherwise been pretty ho-hum. The white subway tiles add another layer of texture.
4. Warm it with Wood
Wood and Black Kitchen Cabinets
It’s shocking how much black is in this space – counting the cabinets, the flooring, the refrigerator, the oven hood, and the backsplash. But bringing warm wood tones to the island and the upper cabinets completely transformed the space into something inviting and approachable.
5. Drama Queen
The effect of white and light against the dark black wall of cabinets and flooring is a stunning study of a black kitchen done right. But the attention is all on the gorgeous black pendant lights glowing a deep copper color that goes well with the warm wood tones on the dining table.
6. Dare to go Dark
All dark? Yes. A bit extreme? Yes. But you can’t turn away from the meditative mood this black-on-black kitchen creates. Even the lampshades are black, as is the pot on the stove, which is also black, as is the oven hood. If you think you’re daring, try this out.
