Black Kitchen Cabinets for Style and Sophistication
However, it should fit in with the style and theme of your home and while it is perfectly legitimate to use black for a touch of the dramatic, be careful not to overdo it! In this large country kitchen in Montana, the appliances are hidden behind the glossy two-pac units and fully integrated. There is a white farmhouse style sink which provides a contrast in color as it is white. The white is carried through on the backsplash which is made of ceramic tiles and a feature design. The floor is white and there is a strong stripe in the wall-papering of the walls above the window and units. The black can be a bit overpowering, but it also can be just the right amount to make the kitchen more glamorous than it would otherwise be. Here, it goes well with the style of the large farmhouse kitchen. The look is clean and efficient.
 A different kitchen uses black as a strong contrast to the white engineered stone of the countertops. The walls are white too and there is a freshness to the whole open-plan living area that comes through the use of the black and white. This is a galley style kitchen and it has chrome handles on the units and cupboards. The faucets and sinks are also stainless steel and so the color scheme is dramatic without being overbearing. The trend in Europe is to have a strong color such as black or purple to use in the units, island or the splashback and so provide a very definite emphasis on color emanating from the kitchen.
