A black and white kitchen is fabulously stylish. However, not all are the same. We have a range of black with white or white with black kitchen styles for you to choose from to truly match your home aesthetic.
Black and white kitchens can be easily customised to your liking. Choose where you want each kitchen colour to sit (either your worktop or cabinets) and pick whatever shape suits your space.
Kitchens with white cabinets and black countertops look fabulously chic. White will be the dominant colour, meaning your space will feel larger. The black worktops add drama and interest for a high-contrast look.
Black kitchen cabinets with white countertops err on the modern side – especially with matte paint. Black cabinets provide that depth, whereas the white gives the space balance. The type of white countertop is versatile too – you can easily choose quartz for shine or marble for a fun pattern.
Add to the dimension and contrast of a black and white kitchen with an island. Islands are perfect for bigger kitchens to break up the space whilst providing more counterspace and storage. Some home renovators even use the island as a breakfast bar by adding bar stools.
Bold and beautiful, black and white kitchens are well-suited to large L-shaped and U-shaped kitchens. These options add to the grandeur of the space and allow the contrasting colours to shine, thanks to the ample amount of space. Black and white kitchen designs also look great in smaller spaces, as the white tone will really open up the space.

Choosing the right kitchen paint colour will make sure your home looks seamlessly intentional and put together. Black and white kitchen designs are a bold statement, so your walls will need to pair well. Here are the colours we suggest:
Light grey walls work great in a mostly white kitchen with a few black accents. For big spaces with open plan kitchens, dark grey walls put the sophistication of black and white kitchens on full display.
If your kitchen is on the small end of cooking spaces, white walls will help you bring in more brightness and open up the room.
Light green walls can really bring a black and white kitchen to life. A pop of colour will lift up the light and dark combination
Don’t think you’ve got to give equal space to both the light and the dark shades. Some of the best black and white kitchen ideas allow one of the two colours to take the lead while the second one provides the eye-catching accents.
Black cabinets definitely benefit from larger spaces because of their intensity. However, the addition of the white countertops creates a contrast which can open up the space. Choosing the right materials can bounce light around to create the look of a bigger kitchen. Find white countertops in a quartz finish and opt for glossy black cabinets in our collection.
