Black kitchens: Inspiration & ideas

Timeless, elegant & on trend

Timeless, elegant & on trend

Black kitchens are elegant and practical: small stains are barely visible and you can put off cleaning until later if you are short of time. A black kitchen can be designed in country house style or modern. We can advise you on possible combinations and accessories.

How can you design your black kitchen?

Styles for black kitchens

Black kitchens are often designed without handles and with a push-to-open function. This suits the modern and industrial style. The clear lines are emphasised.

The country house style is less common in black kitchens, but can have a special effect. Ornate country house fronts in matt black go well with a wooden worktop and panels.

Matt black kitchens look more discreet than high-gloss kitchens . High-gloss fronts of black kitchens can visually enlarge a room or give it more depth. Special coatings on both variants ensure stain-free operation.

Black kitchens are particularly suitable for large rooms or open-plan living concepts. In small rooms , light accessories and wall colours, worktops or flooring create more space.

Combination of black kitchens with other colours

Combination with wood & stone

Basically, any colour can be combined with a black kitchen. Dark, oiled wooden worktops made of oak or beech look particularly elegant. Wooden flooring or parquet is also suitable. The darker the wood, the more elegant the look.

The combination of black & white in the kitchen creates a special contrast. A white kitchen with a black worktop looks more open, a black kitchen with a white worktop looks more elegant.

Worktops made of granite or marble look more robust and are particularly suited to the vintage look.

In the tone-on-tone variant, the worktop is also black. Colourful accents, such as accessories, wallpaper, curtains, tiles, curtains or shelves, add lightness. Gold looks elegant, grey is discreet and yellow or pink are eye-catching and special.

Elegant with gold-coloured taps

Black sinks or sinks with gold-coloured mixer taps look elegant. Alternatively, matt black or chrome taps and handles can also be used.

Tips for maintaining your black kitchen

Quick & easy cleaning

Soft cloths and mild household detergents are suitable for cleaning glossy or matt kitchen fronts. They effectively remove grease stains, fingerprints and dust. You should avoid using abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents.

Which accessories go well in a black kitchen?

Accessories for your black kitchen


Gold and silver accents go very well with a black kitchen. Eye-catching colours such as yellow or green are also a good choice. Choose individual accessories such as curtains, vases or decorative containers in these colours.

How to design your dining area


You can choose your dining room table to match the kitchen worktop. Chairs can have a contrasting colour in this case. Tone-on-tone, i.e. everything in black, also looks very elegant.
