Dark Kitchen Cabinet Inspiration and Design Tips

Dark Kitchen Inspiration and Design Tips | Creating a non-white kitchen at Remodelaholic.com

Hello again! Dawn here, from AD Aesthetic, and I’m back with another mood board for your decoration inspiration. I’m a big fan of the white kitchen trend, but it seems like sometimes that can be all you see out there, am I right? So today, I thought I’d gather up some dark kitchen inspiration, and put together a moodboard with some ideas of my own.

Working with dark cabinetry can be tricky, because no one wants a kitchen that feels dark and dreary, or like they’re cooking in a cave. Here are my thoughts on how to pull together a dark kitchen that still brightens your day.

Tips for Designing a Dark Kitchen

Contrast – One thing you’ll notice in pretty much all the example photos is a strong use of contrast. Whether it’s white walls, light counters, or light colored flooring, a dark kitchen just feels more balanced with some light elements for contrast. In the moodboard above, I’ve paired up the dark cabinets with some bright counters that have flecks of color in them for interest. I’ve also used artwork with a lot of whitespace to help lighten up the feel of the room.

Natural Light Sources – One element that’s almost essential to pulling off a dark kitchen is natural light. If your kitchen doesn’t have ample natural lighting, dark cabinets may not be the way to go.

Pops of Color – The fun thing about dark cabinetry is how color just pops off of a dark background. Adding in even a few colorful elements makes a bold statement and can give the room a whole new warmth and personality.

So there you have it. What are your thoughts on dark colored kitchens? Are you a fan of the white cabinetry, or do you prefer a darker hue?
