37 Gorgeous Ideas for the Perfect Black and White Kitchen

The kitchen isn’t often referenced as the chicest spot in a house, but as an area that many of us spend time in daily, it’s worthy of at least a bit of attention. The kitchen is also a space that offers little value if not fully functional, so it requires a design scheme that doesn’t interfere with the room’s usefulness. One easy way to get function and form to play nicely here is keeping things simple with a classic palette like white, blue, or even green. But one of the most enduring schemes (and one of the most loved by our A-List talent) is the cool, crisp black and white kitchen.

“Black and white is a classic combination that is nostalgic and timeless,” says designer Delia Kenza, who recently created a striking cooking space in a Harlem townhouse. “When done correctly, black and white is easy on the eyes and provides a sharp contrast that feels like it came together naturally.”

And there are plenty of ways to make this graphic palette your own. Some designers intentionally keep colors and decorative objects to a minimum, while others infuse small doses of a bright accent color to balance out the monotone. Some remain on theme with the rest of the house, while others will allow the kitchen to be a sexy aesthetic anomaly. “The pairing can be modern or traditional, and it can be the perfect backdrop for other colors and materials,” Kenza adds, recommending homeowners play with the palette in their floors, surfaces (she’s a fan of inky marble and honed granite), and light fixtures.

No matter your cup of tea, this collection of black and white kitchens is sure to inspire your own cooking space.

Room Ideas

Black and white kitchens are crisp, stylish, and clean. Using these two shades as a base for your kitchen decor gives you plenty of opportunities to toss other colors into the mix with everything from small appliances to dishware, so you'll never get tired of your surroundings. Black and white never go out of fashion, so black and white kitchens are timeless classics that will look as good a decade from now as they do today. The black and white kitchen ideas here show you a variety of ways to keep a two-tone kitchen interesting and airy.

Bright Light

When a kitchen is small and narrow, focus on white and use small touches of black. This opens up the space and keeps it from becoming too confined. A fluffy rug and throws add texture in a room filled with hard surfaces. Windows that let in tons of light should be framed in simple, white fabric to maximize the brightness. Don't be afraid to use functional pieces as art - the bold graphics of the black and white wall calendar stand in for a painting and add to the overall theme.

Faux Flooring

Love the look of a black and white tile floor but don't want to commit to floor renovations? This checkerboard black and white kitchen rug gives you the look for less without overshadowing the beauty of the surrounding hardwood. Use white cabinets and stainless steel appliances to keep things bright. To balance the room, add features like black small appliances and, in this instance, a cup rack.

Shades of Grey

In a small kitchen, you have to be selective. By choosing those pieces you use most often and keeping them on stacked, floating shelves, you combine a beautiful display with practicality. Choose your favorite wine glasses, the teapot you use every morning, and the spices you usually reach for, then arrange them artfully on the wall. In this black and white kitchen, the shelves use the space usually reserved for a window. Green demitasse cups and an assortment of tiny plants add pops of color. If you're using floating shelves or glass-front cabinets, put your spices into decorative jars for a curated look.

Warm it With Wood

A black and white kitchen can tend towards overly sleek. To avoid this, light-colored hardwood floors and upper cabinets in a light wood bring blonde warmth into the space. Adding a runner in a galley kitchen adds another layer of warmth and a rich, elegant pattern blends the room's colors masterfully. The rug's black border emphasizes the limited number of black details in the room.

The Star of the Show

A bold, star-patterned rug in black and white can be the star of the show. The geometric intricacy of this kitchen rug is the ideal size for high-traffic areas, protecting the wood floors from damage while adding a punch of visual interest. Balance black countertops with white or light cabinets, then accent with nickel hardware that's pretty and practical. An area of blue tiles behind the stove are a lovely accent color; with black and white, feel free to choose any color you love and use it in small patches around the kitchen.

Diagonal Design

Use a strong diagonal line in a long, narrow kitchen to give the illusion of more space. Here, The black cabinets are opposite the black range hood, creating a diagonal that draws the eyes upward. You can bring in different textures, like this kitchen rug, creatively to liven up the walls, as in the rooms. Over the stove, the wall has richly patterned, sleek tiles. In contrast, the backsplash around the sink is rustic slate that breaks the line between upper and lower cabinets, pushing back the wall visually.

All About the Lines

If you prefer a contemporary kitchen, focus on the lines as much as the colors. Contrasting black with blonde wood cabinets creates some tension but keeps things crisp and angular. Door panels with strong vertical lines enhance the effect. To balance the heavy, black cabinets on the left, use artistic light fixtures powder-coated in black. Use a transition rug to blend the two sides of the room. The rug here works perfectly because it has black and neutrals that are gently blended in a faded design to counteract all the sharp lines in the room.

Open Shelving

Here's another example of using black kitchen cabinets successfully. They look sleek and contemporary with brass accents and simple, Shaker style. Use a richly veined, black and white marble for the backsplash to continue the colors on the wall. Display frequently used pieces on floating shelves. This keeps things open and gives more depth to the room. You can add color with a muted, striped rug in a deep color like teal to use as a runner in front of the cabinets. In this room, the rug also draws a line to the window and seating area, inviting guests.

Vintage Beauty

When you're using black kitchen cabinets, don't go overboard. Consider black lower cabinets, then add some contrast elsewhere. Alternatives include adding a bright white farm sink and using open shelving above in a neutral or blonde wood mounted on pale walls. The tiny pattern in the vintage flooring makes the space seem larger, and the rug's autumn shades of gold, orange, and red add warmth.

Off-Black is Your Color

If you intend to go all out with black cabinets top and bottom, look for an off-black such as charcoal. These dark cabinets have a powdery, matte finish to keep the cabinets from being too stark. Shiny, white subway tiles and smooth, reflective countertops can amplify natural light. To add an industrial touch, choose old-fashioned warehouse style light fixtures and aluminum stools.

Quite White

Nothing looks as clean and bright as a white kitchen, but you need to avoid sterility. To recreate this cheerful kitchen, accent the all-white cabinets by throwing in one set in black for an unexpected pop of color. Under a white porcelain farm sink is a great choice. You can add some interest with warm color using brass or gold fixtures. The empty space above the upper cabinets raises the ceiling visually and giving depth to the space. A rug in soft, natural hues with greens and yellows alongside black and cream guarantees the room is vibrant.

Cozy Chemistry

You can make even the smallest kitchen seem expansive if you use contrast to add depth. This black and white kitchen has layers of contrast. Sleek, modern cabinets unbroken by any hardware play off the rough texture of an aged plank ceiling. Choose an area like the breakfast bar to add a dark color to break up the sameness and define the seating. As a final touch, toss down a rug that pulls colors from the paint and wood, creating color balance.

Softening the Edges

Pulling off a black and white kitchen requires balance. This kitchen balances the dark cabinets against white walls and pale wood shelving and windows. To keep the lower cabinets from feeling too heavy, a roughly textured, neutral rug softens angular lines. Let the walls pop by limiting artwork aside from the stylish containers and lush plant on the shelves.

Luxe on All Levels

You can transform a basic black and white kitchen by adding luxurious details. The bones of this kitchen are good, with black cabinets below and white above. What elevates the esthetic are the details. Custom molding on the upper cabinets personalize the look. You can add gilded gold wall decor grouped together and a golden band around the countertops. Echo the gold with the drawer pools. Finally, choose a sparkling, crystal chandelier that captures and magnifies the light.

Vintage Vibes

Galley kitchens can be challenging, but if you work with instead of against the length of the room, the results can be striking. Choose an elaborately detailed runner rug as the starting point, then opt for restrained cabinets. Find creative ways to use the room effectively, such as the wonderful bench seat here. Choose upholstery in a dark, earthy hue like this green, then repeat it throughout the room with pottery and plants. Landscape paintings can create depth and connect your kitchen to an adjoining living room.

The benefits of a black and white kitchen

But there are also some disadvantages of :

What to do in black and what in white

Once you have decided that the design of the kitchen will include only the classic combination of two colors, the next question arises: what to do in black and what in white.

White kitchen - black worktop

When the white palette prevails, and black is used only in details, the interior becomes clearer, more geometric. The black countertop draws the line between the two parallels of the cabinets and delineates the work area. nine0003

This creates a feeling of deep space, making the interior more dynamic. Black chairs, lamps, black and white prints or posters on the walls will help to enhance the accent.

White kitchen - black apron

The apron is designed to protect the walls from all kinds of dirt during the cooking process. However, it is he who can become a stylish element of kitchen decor. Emphasizes the severity and harmony of the kitchen. This is a kind of background for furniture that will look in a more advantageous light, even simple cabinets and shelves are transformed. nine0003

White top - black bottom

Perhaps this kitchen looks too formal, not at home. But still, this creative idea has gained considerable popularity, becoming a win-win option. A clear contrast delimits the space.

The upper area of ​​the kitchen appears airy, while the lower area becomes more weighty. The walls of the room visually move apart. And the main plus: the black color perfectly masks large household appliances.

White kitchen - black floor

Black floor gives the room respectability. Regardless of the fullness of the furniture, the kitchen will look rich, without feeling empty. And from the point of view of psychology, such a design is very comfortable for a person, because it creates a feeling of earthiness and reliability. The kitchen does not need additional accents - this mission is taken over by the floor.

Black table - white kitchen

A black dining table surrounded by comfortable chairs pairs beautifully with the white kitchen. Able to become a bright accent in one copy, and can be supported by a small number of black items. nine0061 In addition, a table in this color provides ample opportunities for effectively complementing the interior of the kitchen with napkins, dishes and other compositions.

Third color

Black and white is a rather self-sufficient pair. But by adding a third color accent, you can give the interior a special emotion. How to turn a duet of black and white into a trio?

Red

The most efficient option.

Any red detail in a black and white interior will add dynamism and slight aggression to the kitchen. nine0003 "Cinematographer/Shutterstock. com"

All colors will work: scarlet, crimson, fuchsia, carmine. But it is worth remembering that red is very powerful.

He focuses attention on himself, so it is very important to find a balance, or rather a measured amount of this color as a third.

Gray

In fact, this shade is the result of mixing black and white.

As an accent, it is able to reduce, neutralize the contrast. At the same time, it does not add anything extra. nine0003

A variety of gray palettes will allow you to achieve any desired result: add restraint or add emotionality, create a vintage or urban mood, make the kitchen laconic or more openwork.

Green

This is the color of life, the color of nature.

Its relaxing meditative properties are generally recognized.

Green blotches in a black and white kitchen will dilute its severity, give a spring, optimistic mood. nine0003

Any shade can be: from soft mint to gloomy marsh, from bright lettuce to rich grassy.

Green color will undoubtedly make the kitchen more “appetizing”, because it is the color of apples, cucumbers, avocados, olives, spinach.

Yellow

A color that can invigorate, set in a positive mood, stimulate activity, digestion and appetite. Yellow accents will light up in a black and white kitchen, like bright bulbs, like sunbeams, they will bring the necessary energy impulse, create a feeling of warmth. nine0003

However, it should be borne in mind that with prolonged exposure, the abundance of yellow paints begins to tire and even irritate. Therefore, it is important not to overdo it.

Bright elements will help to avoid facelessness in the interior, dilute its excessive severity and coldness.

Paints can be used to highlight small household appliances, lamps, chairs, curtains, vases, ceramic figurines and more.

But it is worth observing moderation, as a lot of unnecessary details can split the interior, depriving it of unity. nine0003

What style suits the kitchen in black and white

The black and white kitchen is just perfect for those who are not afraid to bring the most fantastic ideas to life.

Almost everything goes with these colors. To be sure, it is enough to draw a parallel with clothing. Therefore, it is not surprising that the combination of black and white can be implemented in literally any style.

Classic style

It is characterized by symmetry and strict geometric shapes. nine0003 "JuneJ/Shutterstock.com"

Both furniture and decoration use natural or decorated materials, carved wood elements and fittings of traditional shapes.

The flooring must also be wood.

The furniture is selected comfortable, but practical, with smooth graceful outlines.

Chandeliers are always openwork and decorated.

Hi-tech

This is a strict design, clear lines and smooth facades. nine0003

Style loves gloss and shine.

Plastic, leather and metal are appropriate here. They will make a black and white kitchen look more contemporary, especially when paired with steel, glass, silver and chrome pieces.

A good solution would be spotlights in different places.

Minimalism

Everything is subject to functionality and the rejection of frills. This style categorically rejects useless decorations and other decorative elements that do not carry a logical load. nine0003

Set with straight lines and smooth doors, no open shelves and small objects in sight.

Appliances, as a rule, built-in, lamps and furniture without decor.

But there are also softened versions of the minimalist style, for example, Scandinavian, when bright details are allowed: one or two paintings, a chandelier, curtains, serving napkins.

Retro

It's hard to come up with the best color combination for this style. It will fill the kitchen space with a vintage spirit, as if returning us to the era of black and white cinema. The focus is on the play of light by combining glossy and matt surfaces. nine0003

The apron can be made with a stylized pattern. And creative accessories in the hand-made style, demonstrating the extraordinary taste of the owner of the kitchen, will help to add a peculiar sharpness to the interior.

Loft

This avant-garde style is very popular among residents of modern cities.

There is always a lot of metal in the loft, brick, concrete, rough pipes and aged wood prevail in the decoration. But its main feature is the maximum open space. That is why the loft was liked by the townspeople who were tired of crowding. nine0003

A black and white kitchen can be very harmonious in this style, the exposed brickwork will be the perfect backdrop for it.

Provence

The black-and-white kitchen decorated in the romantic Provence style creates the most cozy and truly homely atmosphere. This is a paradise for lovers of decorative tableware and cute knick-knacks.

Bright curtains, patterned wallpaper and naive floral decor are quite appropriate. Numerous open shelves are welcome, where jars, plates, spices will stand. nine0003

What kind of people suits a black and white kitchen

The opinion that a black and white interior is boring, ordinary and suitable only for offices has long lost its relevance. This gamma is moderately solemn, restrained and neutral at the same time.

It is of great importance for people who prefer noble shades. Black color, especially in combination with gloss and glass, gives a feeling of depth and infinity. White gives airiness and lightness.

A black and white kitchen suits people who:

Black and white kitchens look extravagant in homes where it's customary to show them off rather than hide them. And what could be more advantageous than a stylish monochrome design. nine0003

Modern people have asked themselves the question of creating an unusual and attractive kitchen design.

But due to the lack of knowledge of design, they do not understand how to play with paints and how much they can be used. nine0003

The black and white color scheme creates a bright and harmonious design organization for the kitchen. Although there is an opinion that it is impossible to create brightness, saturation and sophistication from two colors at the same time.

But it is erroneous, because a true master of design is able to provide a kitchen design only with the help of them.

These two colors successfully combine the possibilities of creating contrasting shades, providing a modern vision for decorating such an important area of ​​​​the apartment. nine0003

It is very important to choose the right wallpaper for a black and white kitchen design

Thicker versions of the wallpaper are considered the best choice, as they will provide the possibility of applying patterns based on the use of a stencil. Although now you can already buy versions with a pre-prepared pleasant pattern.

In principle, if the drawing is suitable, it is not forbidden to use them, but it is better to create your own image, because it is more pleasant. nine0003

But here it is important to follow a simple rule - you can not afford to oversaturate the space with a large image.

Although some designers believe that large patterns can also be applied to wallpaper, it is best to use some kind of dedicated area for them. They will help decorate the place for direct eating.

It is important to remember that white wallpapers get dirty easily, so you should pay attention to washable options and buy them. nine0003

This option would be a financial burden, but would allow easy cleanup. To beautifully decorate the wall, you can stop on black wallpaper with the presence of a white pattern, however, this approach must be very careful and created by a real master.

How to design a black and white kitchen floor?

Gender is equally important in the process of creating a design based on these two colors. With it, you can provide a visual increase or even expansion of the kitchen space. nine0003

Designers find that glossy tile is almost perfect for flooring.

Moreover, large checkerboard tiles should be used. Due to this trick, visually the kitchen will be able to maintain its actual size.

Although some people want to make one of the colors the main one. In this situation, the floor can be decorated in only one of the colors. And the furniture in this case should go in contrast to the floor based on the opposite color. nine0003

Otherwise, a tasteless fusion of colors may result. Fans of black should pay attention to the laminate in this color and put it on the floor.

However, it is worth adding various patterns based on beautiful shapes, complemented by varnishing.

What are the best curtains for a black and white kitchen?

Curtains play one of the most important roles in the design of the kitchen. They help create protection from the penetration of sunlight and are considered an important part of the decorative design. nine0003

In the case of a black and white design, the curtains must be successfully synchronized with these contrasting colors.

It is not necessary to use only black or white colors for curtains in this case, the option with a gray tint will also work.

But it is imperative to adhere to the saturation of the color, but it should not go beyond the overall harmony. You can use any length of curtains for the kitchen.

It can only depend on the height of the kitchen ceiling. A high ceiling necessarily implies low curtains. nine0003

To visually elongate the kitchen, it is worth trying to place curtains along the entire length of the curtain, fixed at the base of the ceiling.

Various combinations of black and white shades are considered quite strict because of this, the use of delicate lines or flowers is unacceptable here.

It is best to use curtains created in white or bed color, complemented by suitable strict patterns. To the place will be the use of white curtains, decorated with horizontal lines, designed in black based on different thicknesses. nine0003

White curtains provide the best protection from the sun due to the density of the chosen material for them.
