The rich hue will take your cooking space to the next level with little to no effort. Here are some black kitchen cabinet ideas for the chic cook that want to bring something different to their home décor.

Black cabinets with contrasting backsplash

Pairing black cabinets with a bold backsplash that brings everything together. Consider using hues of black, white, blue and/or a mixture of the shades worked in together. You may even want to add a bold touch by adding some color.

White cabinets are out, black ones are in! Paint your cabinets all black and add a contrasting backsplash for a beautiful pairing that screams chic and modern. Consider a matte finish to upgrade your look in a trendier manner.

Black cabinets and Steel accents

Steel elements are great when you are working with black cabinets because of how well they standout from the darker hue. Add a few steel pieces to brighten the darker cabinets. 

Black cabinets paired with steel accents are the perfect combination when you want to add some sort of classic element to the kitchen while still being classic and put together. Add a steel chandelier and pair it with steel stools for that well-rounded touch that feels more than just an accent.

Go Glamorous

Glamour could be difficult to achieve in the kitchen because there isn’t a lot of things you can do to add that glamorous touch. However, when working with black you can achieve it rather quickly. Add a few chandeliers and lighting fixtures for the perfect combination that enhances the space.

Black is a neutral that always looks elegant on its own, but when it is paired with hints of glamour it immediately takes a different type of approach. Add a glamorous chandelier and/or seating area near the kitchen for that beautiful element that brings it all together.

Farmhouse Touches

Farmhouse decor has become one of the go-to decorating styles recently. Therefore, adding black cabinets just seems like the perfect addition to the decor style. A bold, wooden kitchen island could make a huge difference especially when it is made out of wood.

For a farmhouse feel add a large kitchen island to your black cabinets, the contrast between the two creates that classic farmhouse appeal. Pair blonde wood elements and wood stools for that seamless approach.

Black and White

Black and white are perfect when you are working them in your kitchen especially when you want to use both shades but can’t figure out exactly how to do so. Paint a few cabinets white and add the main cabinets black.

No color pairing is as classic as black and white, which is perfect for the kitchen area. The flow between these two colors is great when you want to have a modern area that still has that classic quality to it. Pair with touches of black and white throughout the space to bright it all together.

Marble

Marble is an excellent addition to black cabinets due to the veining effect marble is known for. Consider adding stools that match your marble pieces to ensure everything remains cohesive and well-rounded. Doing so adds a brightening effect between the darker hues.

There is nothing quite like marble in the kitchen, especially when it is paired with black cabinets. Keep it simple with a sleek design, but add a large marble kitchen island to add that “wow” factor that makes a statement. Pair with classic stools for a put together look.

Sleek

A sleek design could be exactly what you need for an elegant kitchen design. The beauty of this is you can incorporate as many hues and colors as you would like without changing your layout because of how sleek the designs are.

For that classic sleek design go for an all-black aesthetics. Doing so will bring the chic touch you want in an innovative kitchen space. Add no color for the contemporary appeal that remains cohesive throughout.

Black lacquer cabinets

Glossy is in! and it looks unbelievable when it is paired with matte pieces. Keep the space simple to allow the glossy effect to become the main focus of the room. You may even want to consider adding chandeliers to brighten the space and reflect off of the glossy finish.

There are numerous ways of using black paint in the kitchen space. However, the most innovative form, thus far, is by using black lacquer. Black lacquer cabinets are shiny, trendy and work well with matte and neutral pieces you may consider having around the home.

Traditional with Black touches

Traditional decor comes in numerous different forms, some prefer wooden items others prefer a sleek design. Whether you choose to go for a sleek appeal or a farmhouse touch black cabinets can make the biggest impact. Pair your black kitchen cabinets with a black island for that pop of color that still has that classic kitchen aesthetics.

Traditional décor is always a good idea in the kitchen, however, if you want to add a hint of trendy consider incorporating touches of black. Doing so will elevate the space while still having that classic appeal that is well-known and loved.

Bold Stove

When you hear the word “bold stove” you may think of color but sometimes you don’t have to have a bold stove with a color you can have a daring rich black stove space with gold trimming. Doing so can make a huge impact that still fills the room and has that unique twist.

You don’t have to have a boring stove space, even though the area is dark. Consider using a vivid hue, colorful tiles, and/or subway tiles that bright that brightness to the kitchen throughout. Even when the space is mostly black a bold stove area will elevate it.
