It’s never been more on trend to have a dark kitchen than now. Dark cabinets, with contrasting counters is a Kitchen trend that is hitting hard. They are stylish, smart looking and modern. And I honestly can’t understand why it can’t be shoehorned into any home, whatever the style!

It's all in the colour

When it comes to taking your kitchento the dark side, it’s all about the colouryou choose. If you’re re-modelling yourkitchen, you have free reign to introducea more modern, but classic twist.

But there are still somethings you needto bare in mind when looking to have adark kitchen, and the colour to choose.

Look at the natural light in your space.

If it’s flooded in light, you could adopt dark grey or even black, top & bottom cupboards.

Consider the rest of your home.

If you have a fairly classic home, a black ultra modern kitchen will feel out of place. You’d really want a royal blue, rather traditional type.

If you are are looking to re-paint your kitchen, you have various other things to consider, beside those above.

Worksurfaces.

Whatever colour you choose, you need to make sure it’s going to match well with your already in place work surface. Be sure to do lots of swatches and take them home. Placing them inside your kitchen within the light will help you decide.

Flooring.

Just like your worksurfaces, you need to consider your flooring too. Make sure the colour you opt for compliments your flooring and isn’t going to create a unsightly clash!

Being dark - But not to dark

Of course, there are kitchens that just wouldn’t fair well beingdark. Small, pokey spaces spring to mind. Yet, that doesn’t mean youcan’t embrace dark cupboards. Why not consider using dark colours onthe low levels areas, and adopting bright tones up above. Getting rid

of closed cupboards, using open shelving, or including light coloured cupboards can help a small, dark kitchen, embrace the new trend.

Mix & Match Textures

You tend to hear many interior enthusiasts gasp with joy when a space has many different textures. And there’s good reason. Any space that varies materials, furnishings and texture offers space that isn’t pops. Using all the same colours and materials can quickly make any space feel bland, boring and flat. It’s the same for your kitchen. The best dark kitchen spaces incorporate multiple tones ( light and dark ) and different materials / textures ( smooth surface / rough brickwork ).
