... black ideas...

black is a colour that can work well when done right, but it has to be used with care in your kitchen...
cabinets can take up 3/4 of the visible kitchen surfaces, you want to take care in what you mix with those cabinets to avoid having the black dominate the entire setting...
at times you may decide to simply use it as a contrasting element and not the primary colour used in the room...


there are variety of styles that black cabinets can work in... of course, it can be part of a very contemporary high-tech look...
in a setting like that black provides a great contrast to steel appliances or oven tops...
as another alternative you can have it combined with grey countertops or walls that gives a wonderful subdued setting...

with careful choice of lighting and the placement of the lights, especially in a kitchen that has a lot of window area for light, this can be a great design...
used with white for the ceilings and the walls, this works for many homes...


black kitchen cabinets can make a real impression...
they are often not as expensive as other hardwood cabinets, since the quality of the wood grain is not as critical since they are either painted or laminated...

almost all the major cabinet manufacturers carry some black kitchen cabinets and you can find them at the major home improvement stores as well...
