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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Rehan Qureshi/Shutterstock.com"

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.
In addition, a table in this color provides ample opportunities for effectively complementing the interior of the kitchen with napkins, dishes and other compositions.

"Dariusz Jarzabek/Shutterstock.com"

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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 matte surfaces.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
