Update Your Home with a Black Kitchen

Black kitchens are having a beautiful moment right now and the results are refreshingly bright. Traditionally black kitchens have been associated with the “handsome” dark look reserved for luxurious hunting lodges or a very modern and sterile style. But this new wave of black kitchens are proving that black doesn’t have to be dark. With the right amount of natural light, contrasting colors, and carefully chosen layouts, black kitchens are a great way to update your home.

Experimenting with darker ceiling paint to bring out the black in your kitchen is a great idea. via HGTV
