THE SECRET TO A DRAMATIC KITCHEN

Combine With Wood For A Natural Style

If metal accents don’t suit your kitchen and you prefer natural finishes, A dark colour scheme looks striking next to wooden cabinetry and accessories. Adding a beautiful textural element to the design and an instant warm welcoming effect.

Add Variations of Colour

Black is a neutral shade and coordinates with almost any colour, but if you want to keep your design dark and sophisticated then layering with grey could be the right choice for you.

Go Monochrome

Looking for a kitchen design that is stylish and practical? These kitchen designs could be the perfect fit.

Darker tones for your interior design is undeniably chic and oozes drama but can also be quite calming. We spoke to leading kitchen design company Urban Myth on why they believe a dramatic scheme should have a place on your list of top kitchen colour ideas.

“You can really make a dramatic kitchen your own” says Peter Hill, Head of Sales for Urban Myth “it can be either contemporary or traditional or even a mix of both depending on how you finish the design, and there are many ways to incorporate this style into your design at a level you feel comfortable with.”

Make A Statement With Your Worktop

A statement worktop will create an impact in any style of kitchen. For example, choosing a finish with a Black marble effect is timeless and can be paired with many other colours for your kitchen cabinets, walls or floors. If you want your worktop to be the focal point then embrace the art of darkness when planning your next kitchen renovation.

Layer Up

A mix of dark tones and textures is an emerging trend that is set to be a showstopper over the coming year. It is a bold look but when done well the result is stunning. Layering black cupboards, walls and worktop for a sultry look that is full of sophistication. Adding gold or glass elements to your design will add warmth and light to your space.

Not ready to go with all dark kitchen cabinetry then a monochrome style could fit the bill. There are many finishes available where you can incorporate black into your scheme such as black hardware or taps and sinks. You could also have shelving with black frames contrasting brilliantly with white cabinet doors for an elegant nod to this growing trend.
