18 Marvelous Dark Kitchen Designs That Will Amaze You!

For most people, the kitchen is the center of the home. Chances are it is the first room you visit in the morning and the one you come back to the most during the day. You might enjoy family breakfast here or cook a late dinner by yourself, this is why it is so important to make your kitchen your own. Let us introduce to you some dark kitchen styles because not all kitchens are made to be white!

 

1)

Dark kitchen cabinets, like these beautiful wooden ones with dark granite countertops, are the easiest way to make the overall feeling of your room depart from the brightness of an all-white kitchen.

 

2)

To take it a step further, combine light grey granite countertops and grey wood cabinets to create a monochrome room and enhance it with stainless steel fixtures and subtle lighting atop the kitchen island.

 

3)

A contrasting kitchen island is a great idea. Particularly when your overall cabinet look is dark brown and your island’s countertop is made of light grey marble. The huge space of lighter color in the middle of the room helps to balance it all out.

 

4)

When your space is done in a winning composition of greyish-brown wood and grey marble, there is not much to add!

 

5)

A dark kitchen does not necessarily mean black or gloomy. This airy and well-illuminated room with a backsplash of rustic stone tiles is a perfect example of that.

 

6)

Dark kitchen cabinets made in dark oak wood look great when contrasted with stainless steel appliances. Case in point, the oven, freezer, and microwave in this lovely space.

 

7)

What most people imagine when discussing dark kitchens is a room overflowing with black. However, when properly contrasted with lighter points, like light grey countertops and stainless steel appliances, the overall look is not an overwhelming sea of darkness. Quite on the contrary!

 

8)

The flooring is super important when designing your dream kitchen. Beige tiles make your oak cabinetry stand out and look refreshed.

 

9)

What really distinguishes this kitchen from others is the fact that the marble countertop doubles as a breakfast bar and divides the cooking area from the rest of the room.

 

10)

A contrasting kitchen island is perfect to add a spot of lightness in a dark kitchen. A dash of white in a sea of dark wood and black marble really changes the overall look of this room.

 

11)

Investing in great light fixtures can make the most of your dark kitchen cabinets, even this minimal all-black kitchen looks dashing with the right lighting.

 

12)

Contrasting countertops are a sure bet, especially if you are going for a monochrome kitchen. The resulting effect is pure elegance!

 

13)

Granite floors are a novel trend that is gaining a lot of traction lately. This contrasting kitchen island in pale birch wood looks particularly good with all that dark grey surrounding it.

 

14)

Lavender is a nice shade to switch things up a little. Grey walls, wooden floors, and golden highlights work together perfectly to create this amazing kitchen!

 

15)

This contrasting kitchen island is undoubtedly the focal point in this room and provides needed relief to the overall dark colors of the cabinetry and chairs.

 

16)

Cobalt blue is a novel hue that looks superb with grey marble countertops. The open window design makes this space super light, even with the contrasting combination.

 

17)

A great trick to make your den feel warm even with black cabinets is to paint your walls a delightful shade of cream.

 

18)

Mahogany wood tends to add a reddish tone to your cabinetry.  It is both dark and warm so it requires a cold and light contrasting element, like the ceramic tiled beige floor or the cream ceramic backsplash.
