Anne DeCocco I think it depends on the look and mood you're going for and the lighting in the space. Obviously, dark floors work beautifully as the photo shows. But a lighter wood floor would also look great and bring more contrast to the cabinetry.

Were the cabinets sprayed? If so what color and finish is that please? Black is even more difficult than white when it comes to finishing cabinetry. Thanks. »
bepsf I'm certain the kitchen cabinets above are in a satin finish - not a semi-gloss....
...and I wouldn't do a semi-gloss finish on cabinetry again unless it was sprayed - I've found that it tends to orange peel too much whereas a satin finish has just a bit less gloss but still has a nice glow and finishes more smoothly when using the same type of low-nap roller.

Dark and dramatic, the kitchen's bold black cabinetry and white countertops are balanced out with a more neutral stone island. "The moon-rock-like gray of the island plays very well off the rocky coast outside," says Day. "It helps keep the kitchen from becoming too dark and strong."

The use of black, gray, chrome and stainless steel finishes create a very sophisticated space. While this kitchen is dark, the reflective surfaces allow natural and artificial lighting to bounce around.
2. Mood lighting. An entertaining island should welcome guests with style and comfort. The dramatic darkness of this island sets the tone for a soiree, and the comfy barstools invite lingering. Even the handsome pendants contribute to a well-lit party mood.
I can picture AC/DC lead guitarist Angus Young cooking here. This sleek, all-black kitchen works so well because of its functional layout and sharp contrast of silver lighting and counter stools. It feels like a black leather jacket with silver studs.See the rest of this home

Feels like a black leather jacket with silver studs hmmmm
So in love with black. I was going to decorate my kitchen in either green or purple but now definitely black. I have been looking for inspiration with black and white for years. Love it.
