Color

As you probably have already deduced, black kitchen cabinets are black. However, this doesn’t make them any less exciting than any other color you might choose for your cabinets. In fact, because these cabinets are so rare for the typical home, you might find that your black cabinets draw more attention than other cabinets that have a lighter finish.

What Kind of Kitchen Are They Best For?

Because black kitchen cabinets are by no means considered traditional, you would most likely find them in a contemporary home. Contemporary homes are known for being modern, minimalist and geometric. They are also known for non-traditional colors like black, white or even manmade materials like stainless steel.

If you already have a contemporary kitchen or are thinking of upgrading to one, these cabinets would be a great choice. They could very easily complement your glass, chrome, lacquer or metallic accents to create a fun, retro kitchen.

Some homeowners add natural stones to their kitchens like granite or marble. They even consider brown engineered stones. One thing you probably want to be careful of when choosing your countertops, however, is going with black since this could completely wash out your room.

Cost of Black Kitchen Cabinets

For a 10′x10′ kitchen with black kitchen cabinets, you could expect to pay between $1600-$2100.

Coordinating Cabinet Hardware

Since black kitchen cabinets offer a contemporary look, it doesn’t hurt to match them with hardware that complements them like contemporary stainless steel or chrome knobs or handles. However, it’s good to consider that if you have darker granite countertops like brown or even chocolate, you could change your hardware colors to those that blend with bronze or brass.

Black kitchen cabinets are a fantastically-unique option for your kitchen. So if you want to go the eclectic, retro route, these cabinets just may be for you.
