THE 50 SHADES OF GREY SEXY KITCHEN

This very dark grey kitchen, it’s shade almost nearing to a black, has got to be the sexiest one ever, screaming ‘SEXYY!..’ on point. This sort of black on black tone resembles a sophisticated 50 shades of a racy kitchen scene where Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele can get a little too intimate around the boiling over soup pot. (AHEM). Like a dream, this amazingly dark kitchen blends a still calmness so pleasing to the senses. Who says a working kitchen has to be pinned to the wall for the most? An island can’t have stove and sink installed, and room to whisk? This modular island kitchen by Vipp combines utility and chic. Source

ANOTHER DARK ISLAND KITCHEN

This open layout of pale surroundings contrast another black Vipp island kitchen solution. White walls and ceilings minimises the kitchen overall dark appearance in addition to having an open cooktop and counter space. The back, full-length wall units can be used for practical kitchen storage solutions and be opted a lighter color, such as grey if preferred. Stack matching minimal shelves on the wall to access frequently used spice bottles and mugs. Black hanging hood anchors the entire look. Source

THE BRASS-Y KITCHEN

Change up the look of your black kitchens by switching out for some brass hardware and knobs to supplement the luxe in this dark counter and cabinets line-up. Add some copper tones or mix metals if you want to, for some extra glamour. Walls are white with floating shelves and a grey backsplash to exemplify the dark impression in this kitchen. Match the kitchen with some wood flooring and chopping boards to add a layer of warmth and vintage. Source

THE MINIMAL BLACK KITCHEN

For obvious reasons already known to mankind, black can go really minimalist and be used to accentuate modern simplicity in any interior setting. This all black kitchen is so minimal, I can’t even locate the stove (possibly concealed in the cupboards) next to the tap or plants. Kitchen cupboards here are all wall-like and slick, portraying the illusion of vanishing from the space. Add some bowl ceiling headlights to the matching round dining table and chairs for a retro-futurismo vibe. Source

THE CORKISH BORDERED KITCHEN

For studio homeowners seeking to separate a living or working space from a kitchen, demarcating this difference can be done with this cork-ish wood appearance framed around the dark kitchen. Here, bright wood hues and black work wonders for a creative space. Source

THE BLACK GARDEN VIEW KITCHEN

Another dark kitchen with an open concept to quell out the grim, a concrete countertop front the integrated panelled cabinetry and window on concrete floors. Black fixtures, chairs and accessories blend in with some neutral tones against a garden backdrop. The result? An illusion of a large space that is extended to green spaces when the folding doors are pushed. Lots of ventilation for black to breathe. A great example of a modern monochrome kitchen. Now, let me pick some flowers from outside and put them in textured vases right on top of the counter! Source

THE NORDIC BLACK KITCHEN

Nordic-inspired, this black kitchen exemplifies warm and cozy without being too stark. Earthy wood accents and decor give off a lived-in working kitchen. Here concrete walls and wood floors amass depth with an organic sense of simplicity. Chrome appliances would fit in at ease here. Source

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK KITCHEN

This orange-clad kitchen is proof that a splash of bright cheery color can be a friend of Black. Instead of an open kitchen, you can choose to combine coloured kitchen cupboard doors with black to lend statement to the space. Also, blending kitchen into living room with color works out to define context and interest. Source

The Wood-would Black Kitchen

This kitchen probably isn’t the darkest of them all, in due to the wood cupboards. Wood perpetuates comfort and coziness. Dark brick walls contrast the wood material and black counters to catch the eye. A small kitchenette area in an apartment like this can be spruced up with just the right amount of planning to maximise storage space. Source

The MUJI-Scandi Kitchen

A mix of Muji and Scandinavian, this cool L-shaped kitchen cast a great spotlight on the home. Again, wood is the best friend of Black. Not the roomiest of counter space that you can have, but you can actually opt for concealed countertops built into the cupboards or get a wheeled island. Source

THE MODERN FARMHOUSE KITCHEN

Subway tiled backsplash, gold accents and dark cabinets add to a modern vintage farmhouse kitchen that is vavavoom Pinterest-worthy. Open shelving provides spots to display your favourite decorative china or some cookbooks. Source
