The choice to light up your kitchen is yours. Most would like to but their lack of ideas stops them. Here are some of the hints to bringing the charm to a black kitchen. The question of how to do it and maintain the same will be answered here.
- Find your best shade of black
There are different fades of black and each has its special outlook. Besides, these shades mix differently with other colors. That means you have to understand which shade of black blends well with the other color you want to alternate with.
Some of the shades of black include; matte, raven, coal, jet black, and many others. I prefer matte black as it is appealing to the eye. Having this color for your walls and most of the timber in the kitchen will change the look completely. Below are specific ideas you could implement to bring the charm to a black kitchen.
- Apply black panels
Black panels are a great hack to a beautiful kitchen. Black panels give you the freedom to use a variety of other colors on the surfaces and drawers for the most appealing look. For instance, the image below looks just amazing;
- Simple and elegant – Stick with two
There is power in simplicity. Black matches perfectly with white. Or, you could try another combination that works well with black depending on your taste. The colors, cream, grey, gold, and blue, are good combinations that blend well with black. Below is a fine image of how black and white could look like.
Above you can see only two dominant colors. It makes the kitchen look classy yet simple. The designer of the above kitchen settled for glossy black and white for his kitchen and that makes the final display outstanding. There’s no rule as to what color you should use with black.
Some people may be scared of combining black with white because of the latter’s characteristic to get dirty fast. If that is your worry, you could go for other alternatives like grey or gold.
- Black and gold
There’s nothing as good as having options when it comes to designing. Black and gold offer a perfect combination for your kitchen design. Gold oozes class and that is why you should try it if you can.
From the image above, it is evident the shade of black you choose does it for you. Choosing the right fade will give your kitchen a wonderful appearance. Remember you have to get the right fade for you to achieve the best results.
Your kitchen should make you enjoy your stay there. In modern houses today, people spend the most time in the kitchen either relaxing or preparing food. During relaxation times, you need an atmosphere that will allow you time to rest and lay off pressure. A beautiful kitchen with black and gold finishing gives you the serenity to rest and feel better.
A gold and black combination is easy to maintain. There’s a lot of activities that go on in the kitchen. That exposes this place to dirt and if care is not taken, things may not end up well. That is why you need colors and materials that will encourage cleanliness. Black and gold are dark colors and that makes it easy to keep the kitchen shiny and dirt free.
Materials colored black may also last longer. This is because they do not expose the kitchen to bad appearance over time. Colors like white and cream may start to fade or become weaker with time, therefore, the owner of the house may choose to get rid of them as soon as they start to fade.
- Black and Yellow
There are more options to which you can apply black. When mixed with yellow, you give your kitchen a bright touch to the dark tone. Black and yellow blend well but works for those who are not afraid to try new things. If you are reserved, probably you’d find this weird to try. Check the design below and see how black and yellow could look good in your kitchen.
While black is fine in the kitchen, it would appear dull when used alone. That is why adding some yellow would lighten up the kitchen. Besides, yellow is a good color and that is why it will feel better to rest in your kitchen.
When doing this, the yellow should be a little detail and black the dominant color. The reverse could be catastrophic as far as good design is concerned. The more yellow the lesser the appeal. Remember your kitchen’s main theme is the black color. That said, remind your designer to make black the main color, with a bit of yellow to make things more interesting.
There are different shades of yellow. Black is also available in a variety of shades. Now, the shades you choose for both will heavily influence the final display. One little secret to remember is how to mix the two shades perfectly. The darker the black you choose, the lighter the yellow should be. If you decide to go for a lighter fade of black, you should consider darker shades of yellow. That will balance the colors and you will have a fine-looking kitchen.
Conclusion
Black is an amazing color to bring to the kitchen. The darkness brings about calmness and assurance as well as give you the chance to light up the kitchen with brighter complementary colors. As I have highlighted above, white, yellow, and gold among others are some of the fine colors you could use to upgrade your kitchen outlook. Mind the shades and try to balance lighter with heavier fades. That way, your eyes will be pleased with the final outlook.
