Design Features
The design of a kitchen with a black set is a real exclusive in modern homes, it will emphasize the boldness of choice, the dynamism of the lifestyle and love for the cooking process.
Black kitchen set is usually made in high-tech or modern style, but there are also models of classic, more familiar style. Most often, this color set can be found in design projects of studio apartments, where a stylish facade of black glossy color emphasizes the kitchen space and its functionality.
Chrome handles, stone countertops and glass inserts favorably emphasize the furniture, wooden floor in combination with noble black looks presentable and stylish. A crystal or glass chandelier will soften and add charm to the design.

The more light sources, the better, when choosing a black set – this is especially important, since local and spot lighting not only create coziness, but also visually correct the geometry of the room. Natural light, a large window, and a glass interior door are the main conditions for a successful choice of a black set, otherwise, with a lack of light, the room can become heavy and gloomy.

The color and material of the wall decoration play an important role, so it is necessary to choose the right background for the black headset. This can be contrasting white wallpaper or rich bright colors: red, yellow, green.
Black highlights all the flaws and therefore requires constant cleaning of kitchen utensils and equipment to prevent disorder. A functionally thought-out design of the set with the most capacious drawers and cabinets will help with this.

Designers do not recommend choosing a black kitchen set if:
- you are not ready to wipe the dust several times a day, splashes and streaks;
- the kitchen is small (the dark facade will emphasize this or make the space even smaller);
- the room has small windows and they are on the north side.
Black has many shades that are clearly visible in the light, so before choosing a furniture set for the kitchen, you should decide whether it will be, for example, a blue-black shade, black-violet or black-brown. Bright fruits on the table, richly colored towels, pots of greenery will successfully emphasize the noble tone of the set.

Options for combining two colors in one set
Black and white set
A black and white set with contrasting facades looks very expressive and harmonious. It is suitable for both sophisticated and expressive style kitchens, depending on the dominant color and the options for its placement in the space, as well as details and accessories. The black and white kitchen is a combination of shiny and smooth with matte and rough.
A black and white kitchen set is suitable for creating a high-tech, minimalist, or art deco style. It is better to choose white as the base color and black as an additional color (this choice will help avoid oversaturation with black).
The more light, the better for a complete look, especially if the room is small and the windows are not on the sunny side. A chandelier in the center, additional lighting above the work surface, and spotlights around the perimeter will fill the room with coziness.

Light wallpaper with a matte black pattern will suit a kitchen with a black and white furniture. You can cover the wall along the furniture with dark wallpaper, and make the rest neutral beige or light.
An excellent combination of white furniture and a dark stone countertop will emphasize the middle of the kitchen; when emphasizing the walls, you can make an apron over the work area from black tiles or mosaics. In addition to a black apron and countertop, a dark-colored table and chairs will look stylish.
For the flooring, it is best to choose large black tiles or tiles that look like laminate in a dark wood color; the floor can also be neutral beige or gray. You can make a checkerboard pattern with black and white glossy tiles, this will not make the space smaller, but it will not make it larger either.
Curtains can be red, gray to create contrast, or white with a medium-sized pattern. If the ceilings are high, then short curtains will emphasize this, if low, then it is better to choose curtains along the entire length of the wall (this technique will visually make the room higher).
Black and red furniture
The black and red furniture is suitable for creating an interior in the style of minimalism, expressionism, and Japanese style. Dynamic red attracts attention, and black balances it, the main thing is to calculate the number of colors and choose the background.
The black and red kitchen looks self-sufficient and allows the use of only simple lines in decoration; it does not tolerate any curls or colorful fittings. Black bottom – red top, and vice versa, look harmonious with the presence of a third background color of white, milky or ivory.
The apron can be the background color or two-part from the main tones. The table and chairs should be neutral, the floor and ceiling – light. It is better to choose white or black and red dishes. If in a large room you can combine tones of different saturation, then in a small one it is important to dilute the black and red kitchen with white, which will make it more spacious and brighter.

Black and orange set
A black and orange set in the neo-Gothic and hi-tech style looks original and attractive. A dark countertop with an orange apron will look stylish with a dark bottom and orange top of the set.
An orange set with a black countertop and apron looks interesting. When choosing a shade, remember that bright orange quickly tires, so it is better to give preference to carrot, peach and tangerine colors.
Rules for choosing wallpaper
When choosing the color of finishing materials and details (curtains, apron, dining table), remember that cold shades do not go with warm ones.
The main requirement for kitchen wallpaper is that it should be thick, non-woven or vinyl, moisture-resistant and washable. In this case, they will last a long time, will not fade and will not absorb odors.
Wallpaper for a black set
Wallpaper should be white, light gray or soft beige, different shades of these colors. You can diversify the style of the kitchen and decorate one wall with wallpaper with a pattern, or apply your own pattern in black or another bright shade using a stencil. It is best to do this on the wall near the dining table. It is very easy to oversaturate a black interior with a pattern on the walls, so there should be one accent wall, or the pattern should be small.
Plain wallpaper in metallic gray or brown colors will create coziness, and a bright red accent on the walls will add boldness and style. White wallpaper with imitation brick or wooden boards will suit a kitchen in the loft and minimalist style.
In the photo, a black set with a pattern is complemented by fiery red tiles, and a beige dining table, chairs, wallpaper and textiles smooth out the expression of the bright colors of the red and black duet.
Wallpaper for a black and white kitchen set
Wallpaper should be light, pearl or milky. If white is dominant in the kitchen set, you can emphasize black, for example, cover the apron area and the accent wall with chalk wallpaper, on which you can leave notes or just draw.
A black and white picture on white wallpaper, a stencil monochrome pattern (red, brown or black) will make the kitchen special. Options with gold or silver ornament, light pattern will be emphasized by noble black.
