Black and white kitchen (54 photos): flooring, tiles and other interior items, design, video and photo

Let the one who considers the combination of black and white colors boring and long gone into oblivion be the first to throw a stone at me. Believe me, this color tandem will never outlive itself, forever remaining an interior classic. Despite the fact that the black and white range is perfect for almost any room, I would like to dwell in more detail on the arrangement of the kitchen.

Secrets of organic decor

I'll dot all the i's right away: don't even try to create an absolutely equivalent interior with your own hands, because:

• you will spend a lot of time without reaching the ideal yin-yang proportion;
• one of the colors will still be dominant.

Just get used to the idea that you won't be able to achieve a perfect 50-50 match, and just choose the dominant color that works best for your layout.

Here are a few things to consider to help you decide on the dominant shade:

• For a small kitchen, a combination of a light floor, white walls, a ceiling, and even window slopes and frames with a black suite is the best fit. The effect of this combination is simply amazing. To slightly smooth the transition from snow-white to black, you can use several accessories of the appropriate tones: curtains, paintings, figurines, kitchen utensils.
  The finishing touch of such a composition can be black laconic chairs paired with glass table;

• If an all-black kitchen set is extremely extravagant for you, go for white furniture with black countertops. In this case, to decorate the floor, it is better to choose a parquet made of dark wood, or analogs imitating it;

• Known to everyone since childhood, the classic "white top - black bottom" can be successfully used in the process of arranging the kitchen. Such a solution will visually increase the height of the room, while maintaining some privacy of the atmosphere;

• If you think that the white and black kitchen in the interior of the photo which you could see in fashion magazines is the constant hassle with the choice of exclusive furniture, or the fight against noticeable spots on a black headset, it is very you are wrong. For those who take the risk of choosing dark furniture, there is a win-win option - using the appropriate tiles on the floor. Such a "chessboard" on the kitchen floor is a successful and original method for arranging space.

In addition to the ceramic tiles, choose the matching baseboard, countertops and small interior details. The result will definitely please you.

To make the interior look less strict, it can be diluted with gray accessories. But do not forget that it only plays the role of an additional shade.

A little about universality

Black and white kitchens are renowned for their versatility. Such decor is difficult to attribute to a specific style, because it organically fits into almost any type of interior.

Here are some examples:

1. Classic style. For timeless classics, it's best to use a solid color headset (either black or white). In this case, the ceiling and walls should also be left monochromatic, abandoning any ornament;

1. Modern. Glass or mirrored surfaces on the fronts of the cabinets will help add exquisite chic to the interior. Metal elements (accessories, dishes) will also not be superfluous;

1. Hi-tech or minimalism. Such styles only benefit from contrasting solutions, so a black and white minimalistic kitchen has been in demand for many years.

Black and white or still white and black

As I mentioned earlier, you shouldn't even try to create, how to put it, "color equality" in the kitchen. Just decide which color you want to see as the main, and which - as an addition to it.

Below I will consider the features of both options and try to suggest which one is suitable for this or that type of kitchen.

When black is at the fore

I'll make a reservation right away that black kitchens reveal their potential only if there is sufficient space and lighting. In a standard Khrushchev little room, they will make the interior more gloomy and cramped.

If squaring allows you to experiment, then consider the following nuances:

• It is still better to leave the ceiling white in the presence of a black headset. You don't want to get a kind of crypt for vampires (which, by the way, are losing their popularity) instead of a kitchen? Also, make sure that there is a small space of a light shade between the upper cabinets and the ceiling;

• It would be nice to place several spotlights under the ceiling. From them, the interior will become deeper and more intriguing;

• When black is the dominant color in kitchen design, try to keep dark surfaces glossy while light surfaces textured or matte.

• As if to counterbalance black furniture, you can easily use white accessories: baseboards, wall clocks, photo frames, curtains.

Snow White's Kitchen

A perfectly white space looks not only not intriguing, but simply boring. It will automatically be associated with the sterility and cleanliness of a certain hospital, which will make being in such a room uncomfortable, to put it mildly.

Whether it is the interior diluted with dark inserts, which just asks for the cover of some fashion magazine.

So what does it take to get such a spectacular result?

1. Use as many whites as possible lockers in a small kitchen. With them, the space will become larger. In a spacious kitchen, light colors will create a feeling of festivity and neatness;

1. To make the imperfections of a small room less noticeable, use small black blotches on a white background;
2. As an accent, you can use a dark apron made of glossy materials, which will not only look very impressive, but will also help hide some flaws and uneven walls;

1. Add black chairs or a seating area to a dark work surface or an apron against the background of snow-white facades.

1. The black floor in the interior with a white set will add depth and originality to the space.

When the third is not superfluous

If the previous explanations and photos failed to convince you of the originality of the white-black color combination, and you still think that an additional shade would be useful, this section is for you.

In it, I will tell you what tones will help dilute the "chess interior" and bring a bright touch to it.

1. Red. Another classic color that has not gone out of fashion for decades. Based on white, black and red, choosing the first two as a base, and the third as a diluting element, you can create a truly exciting decor;

In this case, use as many glossy and shiny surfaces as possible, they will add extra chic to the interior.

1. Chocolate. This shade will gently and unobtrusively smooth out the resulting contrast. They can be used to decorate a kitchen apron, floor or window frames;

1. Purple. Even a small work wall painted in this color will provide a unique effect from such an unusual combination.

1. Green. By decorating a kitchen backsplash with young grass tiles and applying a grout in a snow-white shade, you will get a fresh and interesting design.

Don't forget about curtains

When you are not confused by the overall achromaticity of the interior, then the color of the curtains is quite limited and depends on the prevailing shade. With the dominance of black, it is better to choose light curtains for the kitchen and vice versa.

If you want to use curtains as a bright accent, then listen to the following tips.

Many black and white kitchens whose photos are located above will only benefit from the presence of an additional shade in them:

• Use silver curtains if your kitchen has a lot of cold shades of white;

• You can complement the set in the color of baked milk or cream with golden curtains;

• When the black finish casts brown tones, the curtains can be sand, beige, cream or caramel shades;
• If the kitchen is decorated with black and white furniture against the background of gray-blue walls, then curtains with pink-lilac or lilac tint will best fit into the interior.

Afterword

The black and white palette in the design of the kitchen is a very versatile and more than effective option for arranging the kitchen, regardless of its square.
