Does Your Kitchen Suit Black Appliances? If you are renovating and want to know how your kitchen can be the right fit, we have some tips. Typically, black appliances go well with any modern aesthetic. There is no specific design ‘rules’ when it comes to black appliances, but there are some guidelines on how it works best. Kitchens are often the heart of the home so it’s important to make it a space you love – colours and textures can really help bring this to life. Black appliances can give an instant ‘makeover’ to your kitchen, but the real transformation happens when it matches the overall design. One way you can do this is through utilising contrast. Black appliances against lighter designs create a bold, modern effect, as well as create interesting focal points. The other option is going tone-on-tone, by matching your black appliances with other dark cabinetry and finishes – this option creates a cohesive, polished and high-end look, often adding a hint of moodiness and drama!
What Else To Think About … Like everything with renovation, there is a lot to consider when it comes to what appliances are going to be the perfect match for your new kitchen. Make sure you consider the smart features that you want, as well as energy efficiency ratings (to save on running costs).
