Coming up with a theme for your kitchen can be hard. You do not want a theme that is too busy because you need to make sure that there is plenty of room to cook and prepare food without worry of disturbing any major decorations. You also want to make sure that your kitchen is clean and looks clean. One of the easiest kitchen themes to pull off on any budget is a black and white kitchen look. Here are a few ways to establish a black and white kitchen look for your home.
Match the countertops and the floors
With a black and white kitchen, you should match the floors and the countertops. Matching the floors and the counters will give the kitchen a cohesive look and allow the appropriate contrast from the cabinets. The cabinets should be the opposite color of the counters and floors in order to provide the optimal amount of juxtaposition. The materials matching is an even better idea, such as marble flooring and marble countertops. The cabinets should be the item that is in contrast to the countertops and floors. Contact a dealer, like Selective Stone LLC, for ideas.
Make the knobs distinctive
If your kitchen cabinets and drawers have knobs, you should make them distinctive. They can be the only thing in the kitchen that have any kind of color. Be sure that the knobs are functional along with being decorative. Knobs such as crystals, bronze, or colored knobs such as turquoise can give a splash of color. The towels that you select for the kitchen can also match the knob theme in order to set off the kitchen look. Be sure that the knobs are secured to the counters and drawers, but will not rub off their color on the cabinets to maintain a clean look.
Go with smooth, upgraded appliance materials
When choosing an appliance package, you should go with a smooth material rather than a textured material for the machines. Select appliances with a smooth, hard shell, rather than a textured look. Smooth appliances will be easier to clean. It will also be simpler to find new appliance packages with smooth materials. Upgraded appliances are a better purchase. The look and functionality of upgraded stoves, refrigerators, and microwave ovens will last a longer amount of time and will make your kitchen look upscale. An upscale look with a black and white will be easier to pull off with the right appliance package.
