Black is a classic color that is very much in trend nowadays, and you can see lots of moody spaces with black as the main color. Black kitchens aren’t that rare today but they may seem gloomy, depressive and boring if you don’t do the design right. How to avoid such effects and make your kitchen ultimately bold and super stylish? Here are some ideas to enliven a black kitchen, take a look!
Wood
Wood is the best material to warm and cozy up the space, and it will work perfect with a black kitchen. Go for a wooden floor and ceiling – these will make your kitchen stand out a lot, especially if you take light shades of wood. Try a wooden backsplash, which is a trendy idea, and if you hesitate about its durability, cover it with glass or even use tiles that imitate wood. Go for upper or lower cabinets of wood – just change the doors and you’ll get a new kitchen! Change your countertops for wooden ones and this non-expensive idea will totally change the look of your space.

Black And White
White is the best partner for black, with such a contrasting combo you can create any timeless space – these colors never go out of trend. You may try white countertops and a backsplash, hang a white lamp or lamps, prefer a white dining table if any or substitute black cabinets with white ones – only upper or only lower ones. Another idea is to change or repaint your kitchen island in white – statement kitchen islands that contrast the rest of the kitchen are in trend.

Metallics

You can go for metallic handles, for metallic tile backsplashes, metal countertops, metal lamps, chairs, stools and many other items that you like. Match the metals perfectly or choose one main that will be more often incorporated and another as a secondary one, which will be incorporated less. Get inspired!
