There is not a more classic combination than back and white. A monochrome kitchen is not only minimalistic but also timeless and versatile. The contrast between black and white can produce visually stunning spaces and highlight key areas.<\/p>\n
Both colors also work on a variety of surfaces and together with different textures, meaning there are infinite possibilities for creating a monochrome kitchen interior.<\/p>\n
Whether gloss or matte surfaces, marble, or dark-stained wood countertops, there is sure to be a black and white combination that is perfect for your home.<\/p>\n
Here are our top black and white kitchen designs to offer some monochrome kitchen inspiration ahead of your next renovation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A nearly all-white kitchen with the addition of a black countertop is a beautiful and simplistic starter point if you are wanting a monochrome space.<\/p>\n
The contrast is not too drastic and due to the majority of the kitchen being white, the space still feels open and bright. In this kitchen, the designer elegantly tied the dark worksurface to the rest of the kitchen by using black cabinet handles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Building on the previous kitchen idea, this designer has added further black detailing in the form of a black rangehood and windows.<\/p>\n
This helps further incorporate black into the predominantly white space. The dark rangehood against the white walls provides a beautiful contrast.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another idea is to use two-tone kitchen cabinets<\/a>; the bottom line of cupboards is black along with a dark work surface and the upper cabinets are white.<\/p>\n Again providing an enjoyable contrast adding more depth to space without the dark shades making the kitchen feel small or claustrophobic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As black and white are simple colors, monochrome kitchens are a great place to play around with bold patterns which could be too severe in other colors.<\/p>\n This kitchen uses a gorgeous black floral pattern on the backsplash. Floral patterns are a great way to add softness to what could be a harsh and contrasting space and allow a feminine environment to surface.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are wanting a predominantly black kitchen, try keeping the walls and ceiling white and the floor a pale wood. The black cabinets will stand out against the white surroundings.<\/p>\n In this kitchen, the cabinets are all handleless which is a great way to create a sleek and contemporary look. The white stripe around the edges of the cabinets is a fabulous statement feature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Black, white, and grey tones are naturally found in marble and so this makes for a glorious countertop material in monochrome kitchens. In this kitchen, the shiny organic worktops are highlighted further by their contrast with the matte black cabinets.<\/p>\n Marble is also a versatile and timeless material that is sure to not go out of fashion. These materials create a refreshing and uncluttered modern feel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As black and white transition to one another through various shades of grey, creating a tiled backsplash with several shades is a lovely addition to any kitchen.<\/p>\n Tiles do not have to be regular and square. This kitchen works with thin rectangular tiles to produce a detailed and intricate design that is pleasing on the eye.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Having a kitchen half black and half white makes for a truly striking space. The design works well in this kitchen as although there is a huge contrast between the left and right of the kitchen, there is minimal detailing.<\/p>\n The kitchen boasts no cabinet handles, minimal accessories, and only sleek matte textures. Therefore, the contrast works and is visually stimulating as opposed to overwhelming.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This sleek and modern kitchen<\/a> effortlessly combines black and white through the addition of a black breakfast bar. The dark panel above the cabinets ties in the black surface of the breakfast bar in a delicate way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Classic wooden countertops and surfaces tie in beautifully with monochrome kitchens and soften the contrast between the two colors. Rather than feeling made-made and industrial, the wooden elements inject a more natural, warm, and homely feel.<\/p>\n This kitchen has taken a more unique approach to introduce wood into the kitchen. Instead of using a wooden worktop, the designer has used wood for the cabinet fronts and kept the remainder of the kitchen black or white.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A timeless and classic black and white design is, of course, checkered tiles. This pattern has been a winning combination for thousands of years and creates a striking and bold design.<\/p>\n Instead of going for the usual checkered floor, this design can be brought into the kitchen in many places. This kitchen has the pattern on the backsplash which creates a great feature and draws attention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have already looked at a matte black kitchen, but this pairing with a white tiled floor is minimalistic yet modern.<\/p>\n The white tiles keep the space feeling fresh and open while the black cabinets are sleek and contemporary. The wooden panel in this kitchen also softens the space making the contrast gentler.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If there is space for a kitchen table in your kitchen<\/a>, why not choose a black one? This kitchen pairs a dark table with white seats to make a delicate setting.<\/p>\n Additionally, the rustic and wooden material of the table combined with the woven chairs bring a warming charm. Pair this with the sleek and shiny cabinets and the whole space converts to a beautiful plethora of textures and materials.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This kitchen is so bright and open and an ideal concept for smaller kitchens that want to incorporate darker colors without them overpowering the space. The kitchen is all-white inclusive of the fridge and microwave.<\/p>\n Here, the only dark shade in the kitchen is on the tiled backsplash. This is unobtrusive and the white grout between the tiles helps bring together the black with the all-white space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Accessories are a great way to bring contrast into a kitchen, especially if your kitchen is all white already as it means no refurbishment is required.<\/p>\n This kitchen has used black cabinet handles, light fixings, and stools to contrast the kitchen and add depth to what otherwise could feel like a flat kitchen. This is again another great idea for small spaces as the white is refreshing and helps open up smaller rooms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have discussed using checkered tiles as a backsplash but having a timeless black and white checkered floor is also remarkable.<\/p>\n As a general rule the larger your kitchen, the larger the tiles; the smaller your kitchen the smaller the tiles. This adds a punch of personality to any kitchen without relying on color.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As black and white work so well together, monochrome kitchens allow for a multitude of patterns to be played with in one space. This designer has combined a geometric kitchen floor with a grey tree-printed wallpaper<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is the basic color pallet that makes pattern combinations like this possible and certainly makes for an individual and unique space in your home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, you can never beat the classic of an all-white kitchen. An easy fix for any kitchen which needs a quick revamp and repainting cabinets, walls, and surfaces white instantly freshens up the space and creates a lighter and brighter kitchen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Probably the least common design on this list is this one: black flooring and walls but with white cabinets and shelving. This probably produces the most severe contrast and this design only works in a larger space. Its success is also hugely pinned on the different textures used.<\/p>\n This kitchen comprises of wooden floorboards and surfaces which turns the distinction of black and white from overbearing to beautiful. The addition of plants and lots of natural lighting is also key.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Adding accents to a monochrome kitchen is a fun way to add personal flair and style whilst sticking to a monochrome pallet.<\/p>\n Copper is an excellent combination with black and white as its warming reddish tones complement the cool monochrome shades. This kitchen introduced copper through the rangehood, light fixing, stools, and the kitchen faucet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n4. Patterned Backsplash<\/h2>\n
