Are you going to change the kitchen soon? Are you in the process of designing your new home and choosing the finishes for the different rooms? In Bezzia We share one more idea to think about, the possibility of add a black kitchen island and create elegant contrasts in the room through this.
Why a black kitchen island? And why not? Whether you have always dreamed of having a black kitchen but due to lack of light you should opt for lighter colours, or if you want your white kitchen to be transformed, play with this item could be a great alternative.
When and where?
In what type of kitchens does a black kitchen island fit like the ones that our selection of images illustrate today? You can never go wrong by placing a black kitchen island in a kitchen with cabinets white, black, gray or in wood tones. Of course, these are not the only kitchens in which they can fit, but in which you will play safe.
in a white kitchen
In a white kitchen, a black kitchen island will make a big impact. It will inevitably become the center of attention so betting on simple and minimalist white furniture will be the smartest choice to furnish the kitchen.
And the island? In Bezzia we love the idea of the island being completely black and in a material that gives it even greater prominence such as marble, quartz or a synthetic material that imitates their finish. Do you prefer wood? You can make this look different from the rest of the cabinets by playing with a ribbon finish, so fashionable!
Of course, betting on a black structure and a white countertop is also an option. An option that somehow balances the space and brings coherence to the design, reducing its impact. Something that does not have to be necessarily good or bad.
Along with shades of gray
Something similar to what happened in a white kitchen will happen in one decorated with gray furniture in light and smooth tones. But be careful with those kitchens with marbled gray fronts and/or countertops! You have an example in the following image. What do you observe in this one?

Although the cabinets are simple, the veining of the countertops and kitchen fronts draws a lot of attention. Marbles and stones with veins tend to have great decorative power and it is advisable to bet on clean and smooth designs in the rest of the space if we want to saturate it.
Is there already an eye-catching item in the room? So let this be the protagonists, don't promote competition! Is a simple decorative premise that should be remembered if your goal is to create serene and harmonious environments.
monocolor kitchens
And in the black kitchens? In these our recommendation is that you bet on a same line of cabinets, to ensure the same tonality. In addition, if you want to highlight the island, you can always resort to a slatted finish or a countertop with some type of grain that provides subtle contrasts.
Combined with wood
Wood is not usually alone in the kitchen, it is generally combined with colored elements. And if the chosen color is black, a black island in this color will bring coherence to space. Placing a black island will be like saying hey I know what I'm doing!
Don't you just like the idea of the island being totally black? Use the same materials that in the kitchen front in the island. But do not do it in any way, here the order of the factors does alter the final result. And although you could bet on a wooden island with a black countertop, current trends invite you to do it the other way around. Take a look at the cover image, don't you think it's a great example?
