Matte black kitchen

Praised for its understated and modern finish, the matte black kitchen also captivates with refinement and softness. It absorbs light and creates a cozy atmosphere, ideal for an intimate and enveloping ambiance.

Lacquered black kitchen

Conversely, the lacquered black kitchen reflects light and enlivens the space with a subtle mirror effect. The glossy finish adds a sophisticated and avant-garde touch for a black kitchen that is more refined.

Black kitchen with black workspace

For a distinctly streamlined design that aligns with current kitchen trends, pairing a black kitchen with a black countertop enhances continuity, for a sophisticated and ultra-modern design.

On the other hand, a white or wood countertop introduces a subtle contrast. White brightens the space and highlights the purity of the lines, whereas wood adds a touch of warmth and natural elegance to balance the intensity of black.

What colour walls fit best with a black kitchen?

The choice of wall colour for a black kitchen greatly influences the overall atmosphere and style.

Opting for shades of black deepens the space and accentuates the elegance of a monochrome design, creating a decidedly modern effect. For greater simplicity, combining a black kitchen with a grey floor creates a clean and timeless look. To avoid an overly bold look that might be too aggressive, incorporating matte paint or a textured finish adds dimension and warmth to the space.

Conversely, white walls introduce striking visual contrast, also bringing brightness and balance. A pure white emphasizes crisp lines, while off-whites help create a softer, more inviting atmosphere.

What type of backsplash is best with a black kitchen?

One of the most significant advantages of black is its ability to harmonize with almost everything. Given how versatile it is, you can pair a wood or stainless steel backsplash with a black kitchen for an industrial look, or even a marble backsplash, with fits into current kitchen backsplash trends, for a more sophisticated design.

When it comes to tiling, in a black kitchen, the possibilities are endless. You can play with size and choose from a wide palette of colours and different materials. From XXL tiles for a contemporary effect to zellige-style tiles for an authentic and warm look, it will greatly depend on your style and personality.
