They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and if you spend quite a lot of time in yours, it’s easy to see why this expression is so widely spoken; it’s undeniably true! Kitchens are where great food, engaging conversation, and touching memories are all made, and it’s easy to fall in love with a kitchen that’s beautifully painted. However, finding a paint color that meshes tastefully with sleek, black kitchen appliances isn’t always easy – and it seems like these days, these types of gadgets and devices are becoming more and more commonplace. Continue reading to learn about a few color schemes that tend to work quite well with these black kitchen appliances, so you can ensure your space feels fresh, inviting, and spacious!
Navy Blue
Navy is a bit of a staple when it comes to interior design and décor; it’s a stoic, impressive color that’s sophisticated yet also versatile, meaning you can use it in several different ways. You can easily and tastefully pair it with warm, natural wooden tones in the form of your chairs, barstools, and kitchen table. Or if you want to keep the majority of the kitchen white (which is another excellent color for kitchens in its own regard), you can opt for painting a central piece of the room navy, like an island or lower cabinets.
White
White has been used in interior design for centuries, and black-and-white is a classic combo that can easily be pulled off in spaces like kitchens. The trick here is finding a nice balance in contrast; if you have several black appliances, you might benefit from white cabinets. However, if your black pieces are far and few between, you might instead decide to use white as an accent and trim. The choice is yours; not to mention, white is inherently versatile too, and you can pick between softer or starker options based on your tastes.
Red
Red might seem like a bit of a bold choice, but it can work quite well for kitchens since it exudes seemingly endless energy – not to mention, red is also known to stimulate appetite, making it perfectly suited for kitchens and dining rooms. The black finishes of your appliances will do some work to temper the boldness of red, and you can also throw in gray or charcoal décor and accessories to further balance things out. Like navy, red is versatile and can be used in large or small volumes, based on your preferences.
Natural Wood Tones
To compliment your modern black appliances, you can use au natural textured in the form of light and dark wood grains. Concrete-like stonework can also do the trick here. Design options like plank flooring, rustic cabinetry, and crown molding, as well as copper pottery hanging from a stylish display, can truly elevate your space and tie everything together. You can really stick to your preferences here, too, since you’ll have so many choices to select from; don’t hesitate to take advantage of paint sample sticks here!
At the end of the day, your black kitchen appliances shouldn’t complicate your kitchen redesign; if anything, they’ll help inform you about what direction to take! And if you still have doubts, it’s wise to consult with a team of professionals for their input – kitchens are painted fairly often, and despite your doubts, there’s certainly a way to make those black appliances look inviting!
