Black kitchen cabinets are a great choice if you want a contrasting look in your kitchen and just like white, beige, or grey, black cabinets are neutral and timeless so they are easy to combine with a variety of different materials on your walls, floors, or countertops.
Below you can find my top selection of kitchen ideas with black cabinets and while they all have the kitchen cabinets color in common, they all have their distinct layout plan and color palette to go with it. You can combine black kitchen cabinets with stainless steel for a more industrial look, go for shaker cabinets for a contrasting yet classic design or use elements like limestone, marble, or gold details to make your black kitchen more elegant and sophisticated.
A white and black cabinets kitchen with a beige limestone countertop
The off-white painted walls, white-soaped hardwood floors, and white ceilings in the apartment form the perfect backdrop for the contrasting black kitchen cabinets with chrome hardware in a subtle shaker style.
The limestone countertops add a lot of warmth to the look and the single row of black cabinets has been completed with white cabinets on the walls for a lighter and more balanced look. The open shelving and small black pendant lights finish off this elegant look perfectly.

Black cabinets on top and bottom
The black cabinetry in this kitchen has been planned out on the top and the bottom for a look that’s a bit more on the dark side, yet because of the contrast with the white walls and the white marble countertops the result is contrasting yet elegant.
The black cabinets show a bit of wood grain and are paired up with black hardware for a tone-on-tone look. The distressed dining table combined with the metal dining chairs adds a bit of a rustic industrial touch to the space, which contrasts nicely with the sleek modern look of the tick marble on the counters.

Black cabinets with an original backsplash and an exposed brick wall

A black kitchen with stainless steel appliances for an industrial kitchen look
The concrete beams and pillars give this space an industrial appearance already, which is enhanced even more by the use of stainless steel in the kitchen design. The combination of the lower cabinets and the kitchen island works well in this niche corner and upper cabinets are used solely in the darkest area of the space, where natural light is scarcest.
The white floating shelving next to the stainless steel hood adds an elegant touch to the subway tile backsplash that goes all the way up to the ceiling and the metal bar stools strengthen the industrial look even more.
