I'd try white or cream walls for a stunning contrast. I think it would be a bit too dark with everything black.

I would not do black walls. You have a choice of just about anything. Can you post a few more pictures of the room. Do you have any special art or collections in there to give some inspiration?

Hi! What I would do would be to purchase a runner rug that has black and other colors in it, and see what colors you like in the kitchen area. Here are a few options:
