Want to give your kitchen a quick face-lift? We’d recommend starting with a fresh coat of paint. Dousing your cabinets in a newer, sharper color can immediately transform this space—an all-important one for families and frequent entertainers—into a Top Chef–worthy room. These days, green has exploded in popularity for kitchen cabinets, but we say there’s something timeless and sophisticated about a black cupboard. Whether it’s a matte charcoal or a glossy jet, these deep hues will add another layer of drama to your space, making other colors like red, blue—or yes, that much-celebrated green—pop even more.
“Black cabinets are urbane, sophisticated, and sexy,” says interior designer Oliver M. Furth, who cooked up a kitchen with dark, high-gloss cupboards for a couple. “This particular kitchen had been dark and depressing and was never going to be a bright white kitchen. Instead of fighting it, we listened to the room and went with this vibe.”
If you’re ready to take the plunge, here are 13 of our favorite kitchens with black cabinets, from a family home on Puget Sound to an open-air residence in the Bay Area.

UNDER THE HOOD
Interior designer Ryan Lawson imbued an 18th-century home with tasteful, 21st-century glamour. That idea extended to the kitchen, which smartly balances black cabinets and a chromed-out exposed hood.

BARE BONES
In a home, interior designer Nicole Hollis took advantage of the serene landscape by adding floor-to-ceiling windows to the kitchen. The natural light complements the black cupboards and white countertops, creating a sleek, minimalist look.

CHROME RUN
Black cabinets and chrome go perfectly together, making for a dialogue between a shiny, flashy finish and a more subdued, matte one. Designer Juliana Lima Vasconcellos smartly balanced these two looks in the kitchen of her Rio de Janeiro home, adding an Hermès Erbanesteria table to the mix for a bit of contrast.
