A dark kitchen is a stylish option that can suit almost any room. Gloss and matt black cabinet finishes are available, and the shades can be used on both shaker and modern designs. For an ultra-modern kitchen, consider a handleless black gloss kitchen in a deep shade of charcoal. Add bright white features across worktops and wall cabinets to achieve the perfect balance between light and dark, which can work well in kitchens large and small.
