Black Kitchen Cabinets - With Different Ideas

on

Black is a color that always match with any colort, but it has to be used with care. Since cabinets can take up 70 to 80 percent of the visible kitchen surfaces, you want to take care in what you mix with those cabinets to avoid having the black dominate the entire setting. At times you may decide to simply use it as a contrasting element, and not the primary color used in the room.

Black and White Combination:

If you are interested in using lighter color, the use of white color is great idea. The approach in this case is to have just the two colors balance one another, and can create the focal points that you want to feature. Black for the cabinets combined with white wall and countertops is a good balance, and you can continue that balance by the use of both black and white appliances, or the occasional use of white kitchen cabinets in select spots. One approach to this is to use a large checkerboard pattern in the kitchen flooring, or similarly to do the same with the wall tile or backsplash.

Black Cabinets in Traditional Kitchens:

If you want to use black kitchen cabinets, it's not necessary that you use black independently for your cabinets. A great idea is to use the black to create a focal point, say for an island in the kitchen, and then to use a more traditional hardwood cabinet for the remaining storage in the kitchen. This takes a somewhat more traditional kitchen setting, but adds a slight contemporary touch to the decor.

Black Kitchen Cabinets can make a real impression. One other advantage is that they are often not as expensive as other hardwood cabinets, since the quality of the wood grain is not as critical since they are either painted or laminated. Almost all the major cabinet manufacturers carry some black cabinets, and you can find them at the major home improvement stores as well.

Kitchen Cabinet Finishes And Design

on

One of the most important elements in any kitchen redesign is your kitchen cabinets. This one simple part of your kitchen is one of the most important elements, and the way you decide to go with your cabinets will greatly affect the look and feel of your kitchen. You may want to even go so far as consulting a professional. Making the right choice here, perhaps as much as any other, will either make or break your kitchen.



Something that a lot of people are doing these days in their kitchens is choosing cabinets with a unique finish. The finish of your cabinet should flow seamlessly into the overall theme or design of your kitchen. The right finish can greatly enhance what you’re attempting to achieve – be it a country look, a sleek, modern look, a traditional woody look, or whatever.

An example of the right kind of look for your overall theme might be a crackled-looking finish for someone hoping to achieve a French country style. Though the look may be old, the cabinets themselves need not be, of course. You should also think about color when thinking about your finish. Though one color may look good in one type of finish, it may not be exactly what you want in another type of finish. The texture of the finish itself may change everything, so be prepared to try out different possibilities. Insisting on what you thought you wanted in the beginning may leave you unhappy in the end.

Another example of a popular trend in finishes is the sleek, modern look. In place of the traditional wood cabinets, some are using a variety of materials to achieve this modern look, including metal and plastic. Those who are interested in ultra-modern, pared-down design often find inspiration in commercial kitchens (those found in restaurants, for example). And not only do they find their inspiration there, they often find their actual appliances and materials in commercial kitchen stores and warehouses. If this is your style, be sure to check out your local restaurant supply store. Even if they don’t have exactly what you want, you’re bound to pick up a number of ideas that will suit your modern-loving fancy.

Of course, the finish and look of a cabinet isn’t all that’s involved in choosing what’s right for you. The “practical” aspect of the cabinet’s design is equally important. Modern kitchens allow for much more storage than those of kitchens in the past, and modern home-dwellers have come to expect many of these differences as a given. If you have an older home, you may be able to easily update your kitchen simply by installing some of these more modern amenities into the kitchen. Having a trash can that sits on rollers inside of a large trash bin drawer is an example of what we’ve come to expect in a modern kitchen. An older kitchen, of course, would not have such an amenity.

In general, like the trash can, the modern kitchen is built to put storage away from public view. But there is also a nice mix of old and new that many people are turning to – a design where some storage items are purposely exposed. A colorful, neatly arranged pantry that is exposed to the kitchen can make for an interesting design element. However, it should go without saying that if you choose this type of cabinetry you should make sure that you’re someone who’s willing to keep your stored items neat and tidy. If not, instead of an added design element, you end up with an eyesore.
