Ceiling

Contrary to popular belief, the black ceiling is able to look spectacular, while not making the kitchen lower. It is best to use this version of the decor with light walls or vertical ornaments wallpaper. Anthracite glossy ceiling with built-in lights can significantly expand the kitchen space. If the kitchen design implies the presence of mirrors, the effect will be even more impressive.

Walls

Of course, even in a large kitchen it is better not to paint all the walls in a totally black color. However, one accent wall against a background of brighter or lighter shades will look very luxurious. This technique can be used to highlight the dining area or to attract attention to the elements of decor - on a dark background, even small details look more impressive.

White

The most classic combination. Any tone of white is able to neutralize the sharp black design, refreshing the interior of the kitchen. White brings a feeling of lightness, spaciousness and airiness.

From such a combination will be very tired eyes, best of all, when one of the shades leading, and the second acts as an accent. If the black and white gamma seems too sharp, you can dilute it with gray, beige or bright colors - green, yellow, pink, blue.

Red

Beautiful, but very active combination. This design is extremely rarely used for interiors of residential buildings. Black and red should definitely be diluted with light - white, milky, silver-gray. Metal and glass elements will look stylish in the interior of the kitchen.

Brown and beige

A rather popular combination - the soft tones of natural wood soften the blackness of black. In the kitchen, brown is most often used in the form of a wooden set, floor, ceramic dishes, masonry, or used for decorating an apron. So that the interior does not seem boring, it should be diluted with bright details - textiles, photos, paintings, flowers.

Gray

Any shade of gray is a mixture of black and white in different proportions, so it is easily combined with anthracite tones. Black and gray kitchen is appropriate in the style of minimalism or high-tech. However, without adding accent spots such a design may seem too bland.

Blue or blue

The showiness of kitchen design depends largely on the choice of the shade of blue. Indigo itself is a very dark color, in tandem with black it will make the interior even darker, but turquoise, mint or classic blue will bring a feeling of freshness. Black and blue or blue kitchen is easily combined with any tones of brown or white.
