Using different materials will make your kitchen appear cooler and more striking, stained wood softens the look, glass and tiles add some shine, as do metallic accents.

How to design a kitchen in black and white?
First, think about how much of each color you want to use – this is important because you can create a moody room with a lot of black, and not everyone is ready for that. Do you keep the kitchen airy and use mostly white, or create a super contrasting look by using both colors in half? Now paint your walls and choose cabinets accordingly. Add countertops and a backsplash made from different materials to make the look more eye-catching. Refresh your black and white kitchen with green herb pots or soften it with stained wood and cozy rugs. If you want a touch of glamor, metallic brass or stainless steel chandeliers and fixtures are the perfect choice. Get inspired by the ideas we have prepared for you and enjoy!
