PAIRING KITCHEN CABINET COLORS WITH BLACK APPLIANCES
DESIGNER ADVICE
Hey there! I'm Nathan Fitts, Real Estate Broker, Builder, and Designer. Today I would like to share a little advice when it comes to determining what color cabinets to choose with your black appliances.
Black appliances are a stylish, eternal choice that have maintained their popularity for decades with no signs of decline in the years to come; however, the deep hue of black appliances presents challenges when it comes to color pairing. Vibrant colors can diminish their elegance, while combining them with other bold shades may create a dark and gloomy kitchen atmosphere.
If you are looking for cabinet colors than can harmonize perfectly with the black appliances, I would highly suggest you try pure white, gray, green-gray, or pale blue. Those options will keep a seamless connection between the cabinetry and the appliances and go together in elegance and modernity. They can also provide some contrast that helps boost the visual appearance of bot the cabinets and the black kitchen appliances. I recently helped a client who wanted to use black appliances, so I went through the trial and error of trying different colors and tones, and here are the top 5 color choices I came up with to give my clients as options. I'm also giving you two paint options, one with Sherwin Williams and one with Benjamin Moore.
01-PURE WHITE
Recommended white paints: Super White Paint by Sherwin Williams + Pure White Paint by Benjamin Moore
In terms of aesthetic performance, nothing beats pure white when it comes to black appliances. The full contrast between the black and pure white elements creates a stunning, sleek, and elegant look that is perfect for any modern, contemporary style kitchen. The pure white paint also creates a light and bright look that will help make your kitchen look larger than it actually is.
02-GRAY
Recommended gray paints: Lazy Gray Paint by Sherwin Williams + Sidewalk Gray Paint by Benjamin Moore
This options had very similar outcomes to the previous, but it comes with a bit of an elegant twist that perfectly matches the vibes of your black stainless appliances. There are two different approaches that you can use to make the most of the gray cabinet and black appliances: first, you can make a cool-toned elegant kitchen design by choosing any gray paint with a cool undertone, or second, go warmer by using warm-toned gray and incorporate some neutral elements such as cream marble countertops.
03-GRAY-GREEN
Recommended gray-green paints: Rain-washed Paint by Sherwin Williams + Quiet Moments Paint by Benjamin Moore
Gray-green is a trending color that gained a lot of popularity in recent years. One of the main reasons for this is that it combines fresh-toned green with simple and elegant light gray, resulting in a unique color that can easily be incorporated into different decor scenarios. Since it looks much more neutral than any typical green, the gray-green surely doesn't have any problem when used alongside black appliances. Instead, they will refresh the looks of your kitchen beautifully without overly brightening the entire space.
04-BLUE-GRAY
Recommended blue-gray paints: Aleutian by Sherwin Williams + Slate Blue by Benjamin Moore
Psychologically, blue can bring a lot of calming and relaxing senses to any space, and it's surely a must-have feeling when it comes to the kitchen to make you feel relaxed and peaceful while cooking or doing the dishes. Combining blue cabinets with black appliances is not an easy task based on my experience - most blues don't work well alongside black. To make it work, I highly recommend you go with a neutral blue like this gorgeous blue-gray paint. This blue had a lot of neutrality that makes it go well alongside black stainless steel appliances while still providing a tranquil vibe like any typical blue.
05-DARK RED
Recommended dark red paints: Beetroot by Sherwin Williams + Cottage Red by Benjamin Moore
This paint choice may be a bit unusual for the kitchen, but when it comes to black appliances, dark red can be an interesting option. Both black and dark red bring so much intensity that will easily make the entire kitchen stand out in an energetic way.
