Black kitchens are wonderfully intense. The dark tones create a striking look that would benefit from an open-planned concept to make the space look bigger and brighter. This could be like an L-shaped or U-shaped design that opens up onto your dining room or sitting room. This creates an airy and inviting feel to your beautiful, deep kitchen.
A kitchen island can break up the intensity of an all black kitchen by creating dimension and interest in your space. Some even use an island as a social space by placing stools to create a breakfast bar.

There are so many ways to embrace the dark shades of a black kitchen while keeping the cramped feeling at bay. Here are a few tips from our experts:
Gloss kitchen finishes let light bounce off their surface to help create the illusion of more space. When combined with black kitchen cabinets, this finish will help bring to life your bold, modern cooking space without making it feel crowded.
Spruce up a dark design with accents of lighter shades. Combine black kitchen cabinets with a white island. Distinctive elements such as chrome handles can also temper the dramatic black kitchen for an exquisite final look.
Create the illusion of more space with open shelves. Combining black cabinets and open shelves open up a kitchen and break up the monochromatic look.
Brighter bulbs, hanging lights and mirrored splashbacks are all ways to flood your black on black kitchen with light, so your elegant black kitchen still be a bright cooking space. Check out our stylish lighting solutions.
Not necessarily. If you love black kitchens, there are so many ways to go around the rule that says black and small spaces don’t go together. From opting for a gloss finish to keeping the countertops white and bringing in more light into your cooking space, smart design solutions can make black kitchen cabinets work in virtually every home.
You can also go all in with the dark shade. Just make sure you’ve got loads of natural light coming into your black kitchen and add a few colourful accent pieces such as a vase, a colourful painting or bright curtains.
Don’t think you’ve got to go all in for pitch-black designs. Opt for black kitchen cabinets with light countertops for an eye-catching contrast or make a dark kitchen island the main attraction. And if you’ve got loads of natural light flooding into your home cooking haven, you might even get away with a splash of black on the kitchen walls too.
Black and white kitchens are a great option which blend both light and dark. A pairing as old as time, this option will create a lovely contrast in your kitchen. Take a look at our range of black and white kitchens here.
