4 black kitchen ideas for a modern & stylish look

What colour goes with a black kitchen? You guessed it—black and white is a classic combination that never goes out of style. It’s a timeless choice, balancing boldness with brightness, perfect for smaller spaces. Use black lower cabinets and white upper ones for contrast. A white island or worktop enhances the look, while monochrome décor adds the finishing touch.

This style embraces minimalist elegance and Scandinavian simplicity, keeping the kitchen sleek and organised. Maximise space with IKEA’s smart storage solutions, like stackable containers and extendable tables. 

Pairing black kitchen cabinets with wood accents adds warmth and texture for a farmhouse cosy yet modern feel. Matte or textured black cabinets with warm wood countertops or panelled islands create a stylish contrast, while natural wood flooring or IKEA’s wood-effect tiles add durability and charm.

Rattan baskets, wooden chopping boards, and spice racks introduce organic elements for balance. This design blends modern rustic with Scandinavian cosiness, making the kitchen feel warm, inviting, and effortlessly functional.
