Back to black: How to use black in your kitchen

A firm favourite with architects and interior designers, black is a shade that simply never goes out of fashion. While some kitchen colour trends come and go, black is chic, elegant and has long-lasting appeal. Read on to discover how you can embrace this dramatic look in your kitchen …

We’ve definitely become more colour confident when it comes to our interiors. While pastel shades and all-white kitchens still appeal to some, those of us looking to bring a touch of elegant sophistication to our homes are increasingly turning to black to create a warmer environment that exudes individuality. Just flick through any interiors magazine and you’ll be treated to pages of bold and beautiful black kitchens and living spaces. And while this dark and alluring hue has always been much-loved by the design world, it’s fast becoming the go-to colour for kitchens in 2024. 

Industrial style

Black, steel-framed and Crittall-style doors and windows will create a sophisticated aesthetic and bring a touch of industrial luxe to open-plan kitchens. They look stunning alongside black appliances and matte black sinks and taps, which make a huge impact in all-black kitchens and when mixed with other colours. This trend is appearing throughout the home with Crittall-style doors making their mark in bedrooms and bathrooms too, where beautiful matte black shower doors and brassware are proving a winning combination.

While black works well with traditional and modern, minimalist and even more maximalist interiors, it is leading the trend in contemporary kitchen design where demand is soaring for darker, richer colours and warm woodgrains. Think kitchen cabinetry in a bold black or more muted charcoal, which will be complemented beautifully by sleek black appliances, chic matte black sinks and taps, as well as worksurfaces and pendant lights.

Sleek and chic

Whether you’re looking to introduce dark accents for a more pared-back look or go all-out with black in the kitchen, sleek black appliances are the ultimate choice. A neutral shade, black looks stunning when mixed with different colours and materials, but for a truly bold statement, total black is the choice.
