What Materials To Use In A Black And White Kitchen?

You aren’t limited to anything when it comes to black and white, so go for stone, glass, metal, marble, wood and plywood, tiles and veneer and many other materials, literally anything that comes to your mind. Using various materials will make your kitchen look cooler and more eye-catchy, stained wood will soften the look, glass and tiles will add a bit of shine, just like metallic touches. Stone and marble will bring a rich textural feel to the space.

How To Style A Kitchen In Black And White?

First of all, figure out how much of each color you are going to use – that’s important as with lots of black you can get a moody space, and not everyone is ready for that. Will you keep the kitchen airy using mostly white or will you create a super contrasting look using both colors in halves? Now paint your walls and choose the cabinets accordingly adding countertops and a backsplash of different materials to make the look bolder. Refresh your black and white kitchen with potted green herbs or soften with stained wood and cozy rugs. If you want a touch of glam, metallic chandeliers and brass or stainless steel fixtures are a perfect choice. Get inspired by the ideas we’ve prepared for you and enjoy!
