I love a black kitchen. My kitchen is black and margarita green and I could not be happier with it. Black does not always mean contemporary. In my case, I wanted dark cabinets (don't show dirt) but kept everything "country" enough to give an "old house" feel. I also love Nate Berkus' kitchen in his NYC apartment (I believe in
Architectural Digest):
Having 15 foot ceilings also helps.
Here are few other kitchens in black. For some reason people always go just black and white. I prefer a splash of color somewhere. This one has a nice feel to it.
Adding some yellow gives this punch.

My grandmothers best friend had a black kitchen, black cabinets with black background with white toile wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteEven back when I was little I knew it was gorgeous.
It was part of the inspiration for adding the toile wallpaper in my kitchen.

Black's a great alternative to the ubiquitous white cabinet/black granite countertop look or brown stained cabinet/beige granite. A family in a historic house in Delaplane also restored their house with a black and yellow kitchen. Ordinarily this combination would remind one of honeybees, but in this case it just looks warm and happy. I think, though, that one has to have a LOT of light, perhaps a southern exposure, to avoid having it look too gloomy. I couldn't get away with it in my present house.
ReplyDeleteThe black kitchen with a touch of color is so stylish! It adds personality to the space.
