Beautiful black kitchen ideas

Black and white kitchens

The Howard Place kitchen combines cabinets and drawers in Oyster Catcher black with mounted cabinets and an island in our Holkham Frost white. The classic black and white contrast has a dramatic, modernist effect. The white surfaces reflect daylight from the oversized windows, so the strong black elements don't affect the sense of light and space.

Black and natural wood kitchens

With the Cranbrook kitchen the client wanted the space to feel modern but not too clinical. The combination of the black island and larder with the natural oak finishes of the Scandi-style cabinets and shelves makes for the perfect balance.

A modern kitchen with black cabinets, light wooden drawers, and stainless steel appliances. It features an island with bar stools, pendant lights overhead, and a patterned rug on the light tile floor. Shelves with various items and plants are on the walls.

Oyster Catcher

The image is almost entirely black, with a faint outline of what appears to be a partial rainbow shape in the center, barely visible against the dark background.

Our Oyster Catcher is a true, deep black, named for the beautiful plumage of the seabirds that live on the local North Norfolk coast…

A black-themed kitchen can look stunningly beautiful - think of a floor-to-ceiling larder in a rich, deep black, finished with brass handles. Or sleek, modern black cabinets or black marble worktops. Black works brilliantly with a sharp white for contrast or a natural wood colour for a softer feel. In fact, black goes with virtually anything…

Modern black kitchens

Naked Kitchens' Oyster Catcher paint is a true, deep black. In the Ryburgh kitchen, Oyster Catcher V-groove cabinet doors are paired with floor-to-ceiling Oak Black Core cabinets. Black walls, black handles and black chalkboard splashback complete the stunning contemporary look.

Black Shaker kitchen cabinets

With their in-frame doors and drawers, Shaker cabinets give a kitchen a traditional, hand-crafted look. But paint them a deep, rich black- as in our Oyster Catcher kitchen - and they feel very contemporary. Add brass detailing and natural honey-coloured timber worktops and the kitchen has a distinctly luxurious feel.
