Are you in the midst of planning your kitchen remodel and looking for something a little more daring than an all-white kitchen? Then look no further, we’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks from our friends at Kinsman, Westinghouse, Fisher and Paykel and Oliveri to give you the low-down on mixing and layering dark shades into your kitchen.
With the dark design aesthetic under full swing, there’s been no better time to be bold with black cabinetry, dark stone benchtops and sleek black or dark stainless steel appliances and handles for a dramatic yet classic look.
Black tapware is the perfect choice for a modern, industrial style, or entertainer style kitchen, allowing cooks to show off a little flare to their guests. Made from tough, durable materials, black sink and taps not only add the wow-factor but will also stand the test of time. To complete the look, opt for a pull-out spray jet and a matching double bowl granite sink.
KINSMAN TIP: Complement that edgy industrial style, by teaming black tapware with a natural, concrete-look stone benchtop.
Oliveri are a great choice when it comes to black sinks and taps, they suggest adding a hint of black to add drama to a lighter kitchen or go for an all-dark look to create a sleek and sophisticated space. There are several ways to bring black to the kitchen.
Black fittings and appliances are a great way to add the colour into a space. Tapware allows for the colour to be incorporated subtly, in a minimalist and soft kitchen, a black tap spices up the space. Black tapware can be incorporated into a super modern or a more rustic kitchen. Another way to add in a splash of black is in the sink. For a minimalist look, opt for an undermount sink paired with light-coloured benchtops. Other small touches can be bought in with accessories, furniture, lighting or small appliances.
To create an all-black look use texture to create interest, think stone benchtops, a granite sink, black wood-panelled cabinets a tiled backsplash plus add a few minor elements to contrast such as chrome, copper or gold metals.
For a show-stopping kitchen design that is guaranteed to turn heads, choose a dark and indulgent palette. It’s a bold choice, but by mixing and matching luxurious matte black cabinetry with deep timber tones and marble-look benchtops, your kitchen will be the envy of all your guests. You can also experiment with chrome handles for a touch of elegance or keep things slick with simple black, or concealed, handles.
Black appliances are not only stylish and on-trend but they also give the space a sense of sophistication. When choosing your black appliances, you need to make sure they will flow effortlessly into your kitchen design. Is it sleek gloss black, stainless steel black, matte black or a halfway point with dark stainless steel?
And because The Good Guys have a huge range of black and dark stainless steel appliances from the brands you love like Smeg, Westinghouse, Bosch, Electrolux and more, you can be rest assured that your kitchen showcases the best brands as well.
If a dark kitchen isn’t your style, you can always start by choosing a couple of black or dark stainless steel appliances to provide you with a nice contrast for larger kitchens featuring a light, neutral palette.
From entertaining visitors, to family meals and helping the kids with homework, the kitchen certainly is the multi-functional heart of the home.
It’s crucial then that the kitchen works practically and visually, since we spend so much time there, which explains why we obsess over the details – everything from the appliances to benchtops and cabinetry to cutlery.
This year, the kitchen will perfectly blend form and function, while technology will become increasingly present. The Westinghouse range looks to make life easier, offering innovations for home cooks. Central to this is the dark stainless steel trend, which combines the premium and practical Westinghouse kitchen in a fresh finish. Impress your guests with Steam Assisted cooking which combines hot oven air with just the right amount of steam for delicious results. Or built-in AirFry function, meaning you get all the benefits and flavour, without taking up precious bench space.
A kitchen should feel timeless, using design elements and materials that will look good today and in a decade’s time. Whether you’re doing a complete renovation or replacing a single appliance, you can take your kitchen in a fresh direction by incorporating dark stainless appliances.
Fisher & Paykel design appliances in a range of beautiful styles, finishes and colours so that you have more choice when it comes to your kitchen design. Today’s kitchen is no longer a purely utility area - it’s a well-considered, cohesively designed space for creation. It’s a place where family and friends come together to cook, eat, and socialise. It’s the heart of the home. It’s a space that needs to function, but it also needs to look and feel like it belongs to you.
With a unique approach to appliance design and strong working relationships with architects and interior designers globally, Fisher & Paykel were inspired to introduce a range of black kitchen appliances, designed for contemporary spaces. Shades of black can dramatically reduce or increase the visual impact of large appliances in the kitchen, creating the opposite effect of a traditional kitchen full of whiteware. Discover black appliances across the Fisher & Paykel kitchen suite including ovens, refrigeration and DishDrawer™ Dishwashers.
With appliances that allow absolute freedom of design expression, choose the style and colour that brings your unique dream kitchen vision to life.
Whether you’re renovating the whole kitchen or simply updating your appliances, the black kitchen trend is the way to go. Elevate the heart of your home with moody cabinetry, dark appliances and black tapware, all available at The Good Guys. You never know - it may even inspire the Masterchef within and help to up-level your cooking!
