what colour floor would work with this kitchen. love the black but not sure of flooring »
· Comment · 15 months ago
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.

What is the paint color and finish of the kitchen Island? I love this dark gray. »

Ronique Gibson SW7074 Software by Sherwin Williams is similar:

The finish looks similar to a satin or eggshell finish.

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. »

The Shabby Nest Just a suggestion....Tuxedo Tie from Valspar in a semi-gloss finish.

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.

What are the dimensions of the island? »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
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." Stone on island: Argos marbleKitchen counters: Caesarstone "Blizzard"Cabinetry: CustomLighting: Benson Pendant
added by Kelly Porter to Dark and Regal Kitchen Designs
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.
added by Jamie Gold, CKD, CAPS to 8 Elements of the Perfect Party Island
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.
added by Becky Harris to 5 Smashing Black and White Homes
Not all of the rooms are white with black accents; others, including this kitchen, let black dominate and bring big drama.See the rest of this home
added by Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. to Rooms Rock the Black Look
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
