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.

40 Beautiful Black & White Kitchen Designs

Black and white interiors are impossible to ignore. They're bold, versatile, and perhaps most importantly, they always allow the interesting architectural elements and fixtures to stand at center stage. This post covers 40 amazing kitchens that use greyscale to their best advantage. Here you'll see a range of texture and decor options that take their minimalistic palettes to the next level – and there are plenty of great furniture and lighting ideas to consider too. If you love the look but don't think you're ready to remodel your kitchen, consider checking out our many black and white bedroom designs too.

Subtle geometric influences bring this matte black kitchen to life. The standing white volume stands as a beacon of light, and offers a cool vertical garden and a few small regular containers to provide on-demand herbs for cooking.

Black-on-black kitchens look gorgeous as well! This one uses different textures for contrast and depth. Nearby, a green rug and a wild vertical garden bring color to this dark and sophisticated style.

Wood isn’t limited to classic style kitchens. Here, muted tones contribute a natural aesthetic without breaking away from the greyscale color theme used throughout.

Here’s another kitchen that uses wood, this time as a point of warmth among an otherwise cool-toned white and black theme. The inset lighting above the range matches well.

White geometric patterns catch the eye immediately! The shadows between each panel compliment the black breakfast bar, grey chairs, and black backsplash.

Minimalistic kitchens often benefit from some type of sculptural or otherwise eye-catching addition to serve as a focal point. This one uses creatively-routed kitchen island lighting as an eye-catcher. The Patricia Urquiola Last Minute kitchen bar stools also add to the minimalist beauty of this design.

Same technique, different approach – this kitchen’s focal point is yet another light, but this one stands out simply because of its contrast against the background. The stools used in both kitchens are from the Last Minute collection by Patricia Urquiola.

Color blocking is a technique that applies to black-and-white interiors too. This one uses an all-white kitchen island setup, but makes a dramatic impression with black chairs and pendant lights at the dining room table.

Glossy surfaces contrast with the matte black wall using both texture and tone.

Gorgeous materials take this kitchen to the next level. Despite the modern theme and construction, brass and marble imbue it with plenty of classic luxury.

Multiple rows of indoor herb planters above the kitchen island give homeowners access to plenty of fresh herbs to clip, and generally contribute to a nice aesthetic with the addition of decorative plants as well.

This kitchen occupies a very narrow space and benefits from its restricted color theme for a cleaner look. The greyscale canvas really helps to tie the space together.

Here’s a look at the same kitchen, but this one forgoes the wall and replaces the wooden floors with highly polished marble ones.

While this kitchen doesn’t have a breakfast nook, the dining table does feel like an overall part of the design thanks to its self-contained “floor” that makes it look an extension of the islands.

Unique angles give this all-white island a distinctively ultra-modern aesthetic – but the window backsplash is the star of the show. It’s at just the right height to enjoy from the breakfast stools or even the sofas on the other side of the room.

Black floors add character to the solid white kitchen surfaces. While this space would likely look wonderful year-round, the winter colors are a perfect complement for the palette used here.

It’s hard to go wrong with an all-white kitchen. The grey countertops are a nice touch. Black and white both show dirt quite easily, but grey is a little more forgiving.

Strong textures play with the light and bring more variation to these matte charcoal cabinets. Many of the decorative vases and bowls reside on the greyscale spectrum to match.

Dark wood is a traditional and striking choice that looks especially interesting paired up with the white and black cabinetry. Stools and the table add more wooden accents to the mix.

Ultramodern architecture combines with black, white, wood, and glass to create a kitchen aesthetic that looks simple but hides tons of detail to appreciate.

All-white kitchens have their own benefits. Here, the residents could easily change out the black bar stools and pendant lights for a different accent color if they so wished.

This high contrast palette makes waves with its geometric design. The stools are from the One collection by Konstantin Grcic.

Minimalism isn’t the only option for black and white kitchens. This one uses a variety of textures, tones, and decorations to create a memorable aesthetic overall.

Wood countertops bring a touch of chic charm to this stark black and white kitchen. The chalkboard wall to the right allows space to play with color and decoration.

Chalkboard paint appears in this kitchen too, this time just to the left of the microwave and stove. This chalkboard features a little weekly plan template to make life easier, but grocery lists and recipe instructions are fun ideas as well.

Futurism is such a concrete style. It makes sense to choose a neutral color theme since the larger elements are so difficult to change later on. Here, just switching the color of the chairs would make an incredible difference yet would remain easy to alter later.

Also featured in the previous kitchen, the chairs are the work of Verner Panton. They were designed in the 60s but remain just as impressively forward-thinking today. The unique dining pendant light also helps to anchor the space.

This kitchen takes a more subtle approach to a futuristic aesthetic with a kitchen worktop that angles inward at the leg. In terms of color, notice how the black and white elements swap places for contrast.

Everything about this kitchen takes a unique approach to form. It’s all about the angles! The clean black and white palette works well for this space.

A concrete accent wall brings just a touch of industrial influence to this smooth kitchen style. The stainless steel range hood furthers the look.

Traditional paneled cabinetry and a rich marble backsplash bring elegance and classic style to this otherwise very modern kitchen theme.

Curved surfaces meet crisp lines as a source of contrast that goes beyond the black and while color theme alone. The spherical brass chandelier underscores the warmth of the wood floors.

Fully custom cabinetry brings this kitchen into the future.

Chevron floorboards, a rustic sliding ladder, and classically-influenced chairs add just the right amount of traditional influence to this otherwise strikingly modern kitchen.

Perhaps this kitchen remains minimalistic to allow the outdoors to take center stage. The view is certainly worth admiring.

Marble brings luxurious appeal to this open plan kitchen. While the living room remains casual and classic, it’s hard to ignore the luxurious materials in the background.

Simple, clean, and minimalistic – the interesting thing about this kitchen is how unbroken all of the surfaces are. Even the floor tiles are huge and contribute to its uncomplicated aesthetic.

Typography makes a bold statement in this simple white and black kitchen. The motivational phrase on the wall is worth remembering if your recipes don’t always go as planned.

We can’t let this post end without one more inspiring chalkboard wall. This one demonstrates the power of an artistic touch.

Let’s close out this post with a kitchen that goes big with classic details! The cabinet door panels and tasteful tile patterns gain a wonderful stylistic complement by way of vintage-inspired decor.

White color, as a symbol of purity, freshness and light, has long been considered the most versatile in kitchen design. But the choice of black can be quite a bold decision. Through the correct use of black and white, you can prove yourself a true connoisseur of modern design trends, since monochrome combinations are a sign of fine taste.

« Marko Poplasen/Shutterstock.com»

Black and white kitchens are usually chosen by supporters of concise, but at the same time, expressive solutions. Such a color scheme has, on the one hand, simplicity, and on the other hand, restrained nobility. It is suitable for calm and balanced people who love order. nine0003

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"

Any color 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

The secrets of combining black and white

Monochrome interiors have not gone out of fashion for many years - it's beautiful and original. Today we’ll talk about black and white kitchen design: we’ll show examples with photos, reveal a few secrets and interesting design ideas.

General recommendations

Black and white are strong and self-contained colors. One of them is the lightest of the color palette, the other is the darkest. In order for this chess combination to play in the interior, you need to understand the basic rules for combining such colors. nine0003

Here are a few tips:

In words it seems complicated, but in the following photos you will see how these rules are embodied in the interior. Well, let's see what a kitchen looks like done in black and white in various styles.

Classic style

There is an opinion that for the classics it is necessary to use only light pastel colors. In general, this is what happens most of the time. But, believe me, monochrome colors are also suitable.

For example. Here is a corner kitchen with white fronts and black countertops. It looks very advantageous, especially thanks to the well-chosen wallpaper with a patterned print as a background. Pay attention to the little things: a few black and gray tiles on the backsplash will be a beautiful accent. nine0003

Don't go for complicated shapes: everything should be simple but elegant. We recommend choosing a set with a patina - it is fully consistent with the classic style.

If you plan to make black as the main tone, then the interior will have to be thought out as carefully as possible. For example, for a kitchen in Khrushchev, this is not the best idea - you need a spacious room. We recommend making at least one surface completely white - in this case, the ceiling.

Vintage decor elements will be an elegant addition: a chandelier imitating an old candlestick, golden vases that will play the role of bright strokes. nine0003

Important: Don't forget that there is key lighting. In addition to the main lamp, try installing a backlight above the work surface - this will ensure comfortable cooking.

For modern classics, you can deviate a bit from tradition. You will probably like the floor, laid out with large tiles in a checkerboard pattern. Yes, it is difficult to implement such a concept in a small kitchen - it will make the room visually smaller. But in the spacious one - a successful and unbanal move. nine0003

Art Nouveau

Characterized by flowing lines and smooth textures, modern looks great in black and white light. It is suitable for any premises - even for small ones. The main thing is to find the right furniture.

For example, for a kitchen of 12 sq.m. fit direct headsets in these colors. We like this option - a minimum of details, but everything looks very elegant. The beauty and completeness of the room will help to add an unusual chandelier of complex shape. nine0003

By the way: Sometimes familiar objects become decorations. In this photo, their role is played by jars of bulk products, which are usually hidden in lockers.

Experiment with bright accents - they can really decorate a monochrome picture. Light green ceramic apron and a thin green stripe on a white floor will suit both small and large rooms.

Of course, you are free to choose the color of your choice. But remember that there should not be more than two elements - otherwise it is impossible to say that you have made a kitchen in black and white. nine0003

Working with modern styles has one serious risk: it is easy to get carried away with materials whose texture is out of place in a mono-color design - an abundance of metal, gilding, 3D printed wallpaper. Perhaps there is only one exception - transparent impact-resistant glass. Shelves, cabinet doors… They look beautiful and quite in line with modern decor.

If you want to place a dining area in the kitchen, it makes sense to highlight it in a different color. Refer to the classic combination of black-red-white. The monochrome design with bright chairs looks fresh, but at the same time purple textiles do not seem like an alien part of the interior. nine0003

Wood is always appropriate, even in black and white. True, the main thing here is not to overdo it. Embossed surfaces with a pronounced texture will not work. Still, the tree should be an addition, not a base. Use it for countertops. A rich terracotta apron will play in such a frame.

Hi-tech

Glossy textures, metallics, bright colors are the main expectations from this style. And what will a black and white high-tech kitchen look like? Judging by the reviews - excellent! It has a monochrome design. nine0003

Check out this variant: matt white fine finish and high gloss black set. The highlights are added by blue LED backlighting - a technique that has become more and more fashionable in recent years.

Details play a huge role in such interiors: a patterned apron, an unusual chandelier or lamps, decorative elements. Take your time and think about these little things: they create an atmosphere.

Here is another interesting solution - a kitchen-living room with red accents in black and white. nine0003

Pay attention to the coup with zoning - black prevails in the working area, and light in the dining room. This makes the room look more structured and organized, which helps to maintain order.

If you are not afraid of the high cost of custom headsets, make it something like this. The futuristic design of such furniture corresponds to the spirit of high-tech. And yes, it just looks great. True, lovers of an abundance of decor are better off looking for another option - do not distract attention from the main element, it is good in itself. nine0003

If space permits, place a white kitchen island in the center of the kitchen with lighting from below. To match it, decorate the main work area with a stove and sink on a black background.

But make the built-in refrigerator and tall cabinets black. Decorate a glossy white floor with a “chess” soft rug. Yes, the search for suitable furniture and accessories will require material and time costs - but the result is worth it.

Loft style

For some reason, most people associate it with gray and red tones.

In the meantime, a small black and white loft kitchen looks perfect. We recommend tiling walls and an apron with brick-like tiles - this corresponds to the traditional idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthis style. In addition, given the small dimensions of the room, think about the small details that ultimately shape the interior.

For example, it is important to choose curtains so that they do not take up much space, but are stylish and appropriate. We recommend trying Roman or vertical blinds - they fit the concept quite well. nine0003

Dilute the basic combination of black and white with gray elements. For example, as here - a black relief insert on the wall “under the stone” favorably sets off the glossy cabinets of the headset.

For spacious rooms, buy a corner kitchen - it is comfortable and practical, and looks great in these colors. Separate the colors - make a black bottom and a white top or vice versa, as in the photo.

This design has much more advantages than disadvantages - the room looks complete, and a clear horizontal border will balance the perception of disproportionate rooms. nine0003

Use traditional loft decorations as decor - graffiti, posters, volumetric inscriptions. Do not neglect bright accents - try, for example, to buy a bright red refrigerator.

Small strokes of a different color - an extremely coup. Try pairing a gray floor with black and white furniture with wooden shelves. Such a combination is a standard technique that softens the interior and makes it more sophisticated.

Minimalist

Intense black and white tones are ideal for a minimalist kitchen.

A white kitchen with a black worktop looks attractive - it visually makes the room wider and longer. The right wallpaper will help to dilute the mono-interior - take light beige, slightly rough. The contrast of such embossed walls with even furniture looks spectacular.

By the way, black and white do not have to be uniform. Choose textured colors, especially for glossy facades. Furniture and appliances, as in this photo, can become a decoration of the room. In this case, additional decor is not required. nine0003

For a studio apartment, it is better to buy a suite and an identical bar counter. It will become an additional work surface and help separate the work area from the living room. And yes, it's just beautiful.

Work with accents and decorative elements. An unusual wicker chandelier in the shape of a hemisphere over the dining table is what you need. If bright colors are not enough for you, it is not forbidden to add a couple of strokes - for example, a few red vases or coasters for kitchen utensils. nine0003

Art Deco style

First of all, attention should be paid to the details: everything should be as refined as possible. Avoid sharp lines and complex cuts: elegant furniture with rounded corners is what you need.

It is important to understand which wallpaper to choose and whether it should be done. We answer - if you find stylish black with a pattern, then definitely yes! Try to pick up an unusual modern technique for them - look how advantageous against such a background the non-standard hood looks. nine0003

If the kitchen is combined with the dining room, work not only with the main surfaces, but also with the decor. It is very important to create a solemn and at the same time cozy atmosphere. There is also the other side of the coin - if you go too far with the details, the interior will be irretrievably damaged. Therefore, we recommend consulting with designers.

To decorate one of the walls, use a decorative mirror insert. This technique is especially good for small kitchens - they will visually become much larger. But remember that the mirror will have to be carefully looked after, so it is still not necessary to place it above the work surface. nine0003

For a small kitchen, the simplest textures are preferred. In keeping with the Art Deco tradition, opt for smooth, slightly rounded lines. Do not get carried away with complex forms - this is unacceptable in a tiny room.

And do not forget to put 1-2 flowers for decoration - here they will be more appropriate than ever.

Such an interior of a kitchen combined with a dining room looks unusual. Here Art Deco is beautifully intertwined with the loft. Think about which tulle is better to take for curtains. Carefully draw a sketch of the location of the PVC film on the ceiling and, especially, on the walls. nine0003

Pick up all decorative items. Textile wicker patterns on the wall made of stretch fabric are very original - they are extremely rarely used. The elegance of the dining area will be emphasized by a “brick-like” apron and the simplest work set. Use combined lighting - spotlights with a volumetric chandelier "ball".

Scandinavian style

It uses light, airy tones and predominantly natural materials. And if everything is clear with white, then it is not clear what black has to do with it. nine0003

Yes, the latter should indeed be smaller in ratio. For example, a black countertop made of granite or its imitation on a white wooden set. Try to choose smooth, natural textures. No need for experiments - even in this design, the kitchen will look elegant.

Add accents with decor: this is a dark rug with bright stripes.
