Maybe it's just me, but I am often drawn to white kitchens, and only white kitchens. But I'm feeling different these days, and I say...let's paint our whtie cabinets black and toss that White Carrara stone for some lovely shiny black stone! It's sophisticated, but still very inviting! The image of Kelly Werstler and this "oh so glamorous" black kitchen has inspired me to break out of my comfort zone and explore the dark side...

I am swooning over that Fearon Hayes kitchen and really wondering how I might achieve that. Do you know what that white countertop is? And how do you think that black cabinetry is achieved?
Great Posting. I am loving all the black kitchens and what a welcome change from white kitchens.
i never thought i would be drawn to a dark kitchen schemes but they looks so great with stainless steel appliances! I adore kelly's gown too!
Hi Maryam! I'm hoping to have some lovely bathroom inspiration for you tomorrow :) That counter top looks like a Ceaserstone to me...it has mittered edges to make it appear like a big slab of stone. Easy to obtain with the right fabricator. As for cabinetry, it very well may be a wenge/ebony finish, enamel paint, or a high quality laminate (not to sure). Hope this helps and thanks for the comment!

I've always loved a colorful kitchen but seeing this black kitchen all I thought was oooh that's lovely. I see black in a whole new light {in terms of the kitchen}. Great post.
Your post has single-handedly changed my mind about black kitchens. These photos are so elegant.
Great post again Kate, love the chalk board with the dark walls.
I love this post . and I love these black kitchens but I'm going to be lucid and to say that Black kitchen is the enemy of clean kitchen ..
I'm so glad you liked this J Lee...you're right, very sleek and sexy!

You're too kind Robyn. I know, that chalkboard wall is a great idea...you'll never forget your shopping list if it's in your face while your cooking!

great floor detail on that miles redd kitchen. an entire chalkboard wall would be pretty fun to have! oooh, and the one from the apt. . .imagine a floor-to-ceiling bookcase just for cookbooks!
Great examples Kate! Love the unexpected quality.
I am the same way Kate, but those dark kitchens are soooo chic!!
Me too! They are super sleek and super sexy, and no-one does it better than Kelly Wearstler.
Great post, I totally agree, dark kitchens are so exotic, look cleaner and just make you think the food you make there is better, don't know how it happens, but it just feels sleeker.
