Black kitchen – a good idea?
Black kitchen stands out and is often associated with the minimalist style. It’s universal, interesting, strong and it adds charisma to the interior. When choosing black however, you have to abide by a few important rules. We’re going to make a few suggestions so that your choice of black results in a perfect blend of shape in space.
Pitch black floor has more tendency to show dirt
That is – in comparison with white floors. When choosing black home appliances, or interior design just keep in mind that dirt that accumulates with time on horizontal surfaces will be more of a factor. That goes especially for for high-gloss surfaces. For example, smooth, black floor tiles are rarely a good choice for the kitchen floor where traffic will be high. It will be more susceptible to marks from dropped food and kitchen equipment. It that instance, more structured patterns are recommended.
Black kitchen ceiling recommended for higher interiors
Black colour (if not harmonised with the surrounding objects) makes a room area appear optically smaller. Therefore, it needs to stress or underline other interior elements to create interesting symbiosis. By the same token, black can actually do a good job when you need to achieve the exact opposite – making a high elevated ceiling appear lower. In any case, a rooms with black components tend to be unique in style if only for the presence of contrast, especially black and white. Black can also be an inexpensive way to mask messy walls with dents or fixtures. They would otherwise have to be covered with additional plaster or other wall.
Black glossy fronts – light them well
Dark glossy fronts will reflect nicely all that is natural or artificial. If you play well with light, black can even enlarge a room optically. There are special kinds of black furniture surfaces, MATT or GLOSS that will accentuate space in combination with both the surrounding objects as well as objects attached to them such as handles.
Black works in combination
Black stands out in combination with wood-patterned fronts or yellow (gold) features. Dark matt furniture fronts and black benchtops will work together exceptionally well in combination with a black sink.
Moreover, black can also be combined with brick and stone walls.
Black bathroom sinks
The era of all-white bathrooms is gone and black will certainly add to the variety of colour choices that can be used. For example, black bathroom sinks are common place today and create simplicity and aesthetic value.
