Despite our love affair with white kitchens, black kitchens remain a popular choice. The dark moody elegance of a black kitchen perfectly complements a new kitchen in any style, all the way from Industrial through to Hamptons style kitchens. The use of sultry, dark cabinetry in a black kitchen is the perfect foundation for the stunning white stone benchtops that are currently available.

Black kitchens divulge in shades of black, navy, or dark grey, and add what white kitchens cannot – a seductive allure that says sleekness and sophistication at the same time.

Sophisticated homeowners are exploring shiny black cabinets, black marble countertops with striking white veins, black floors, and even black appliances. Design manufacturers have taken notice, and sleek black ovens, refrigerators, and more have been appearing in appliance showrooms across the country.

Dark colours in black kitchens work surprisingly well in compact spaces and the move towards open floor plans has had a big impact on how we perceive colour.

Another reason that black and other dark colours hold appeal these days is that consumers surrounded by smart technology are craving tactile experiences and quality workmanship.

Dark colours in black kitchens conjure cast iron, slate, and black marble, evoking the look of kitchens before they were streamlined decades ago. High technology fingerprint and scratch resistant matte finishes in particular have largely defined the new black kitchen trend suggesting the appeal of subtle and grounded tones, which are often paired with high-gloss surfaces elsewhere in the kitchen for a balanced look.
