Kitchen cabinet hardware is almost like the jewelry of your kitchen design, finishing off the look. Black cabinet hardware is great for adding contrast to your kitchen style and switching out the hardware on your cabinets can be just the thing your kitchen needed to give it a powerful makeover.

If you are looking to add a beautiful black finish to your cabinets, have a look at these modern designs that include black kitchen cabinet hardware in different shapes and designs. Whether you want to go for knobs or pulls, you will find the inspiration you need in this list.

Black hardware stands out against lighter color cabinets in a beautiful, contrasting way, while it can have a more subtle effect when it’s blended into darker cabinet colors.

Black knobs stand out against a light grey kitchen

This beautiful kitchen design features light grey kitchen cabinets paired up with grey walls and a grey peg rail. The black knobs, black faucet, and black countertop add a beautiful contrast to all the grey in the space and I love the way the round knobs look on the classic shaker design of the cabinets.

Small knobs usually have a subtle effect on a kitchen design, yet sometimes you will need different appliance pulls for your dishwasher for example, as it’s difficult to open the heavy dishwasher door with a tiny knob.

A modern grey shaker kitchen with black metal kitchen cabinet hardware

The traditional brushed nickel cabinet pulls with a black finish elevate the design of this beautiful grey shaker kitchen. The cabinet hardware pairs up perfectly with the dark stone countertop and the oval sphere shape of the knobs feels good in your hand when opening the cabinets or drawers.

The black hardware stands out against the lighter cabinet color and is the finishing touch to this kitchen design.

Black cabinet hardware in a classy white kitchen with a tile backsplash

When you combine black metal knobs with white kitchen cabinets, you create a very powerful contrast in your kitchen design. The solid black metal knobs in this kitchen elevate the simple expression in the space and complement the black tile grout and the black sockets.

The kitchen itself, which is finished off with a grey granite countertop is very neutral in color, yet by adding a gorgeous warm wood dining table and chairs, the look becomes more warm and inviting.

Black leather finger pulls in a black and white kitchen

Instead of hardware, this minimal white kitchen includes trendy black leather finger pulls that pair up nicely with the black wall light fixtures and the black floating shelf that is used for displaying ceramics.

The leather pulls have a playful and subtle effect in the space that is perfect for opening a drawer or cabinet. Pair these up with appliance pulls for a fridge or dishwasher though, so you can open up heavier doors more easily.

Integrated black cabinet pulls in a grey kitchen

This urban modern kitchen design has black hardware integrated into the cabinet design. The black hardware becomes a crucial element in the design and I love the way the black handles are paired up with a black sink, black faucet, and black appliances.

Black leather pulls and black knobs on matte black cabinets

The black kitchen cabinets in this space are paired up with marble counters and leather pulls that are a bit more modern than your traditional ring pulls. The leather pulls on the bottom cabinets are paired up with regular knobs on the upper ones, however, both of the hardware designs are barely noticeable on the matte black cabinet color.

Black bar pulls in a white and grey kitchen design

The black bar pulls are a sleek and elegant addition to the grey shaker cabinets in this kitchen with white walls and white flooring. The subtle lines of the shaker cabinets are accentuated by the black cabinet hardware that follows in a horizontal direction on the drawer modules and in a vertical direction on the upper cabinets.

Subtle black knobs on minimal white kitchen cabinets

This spacious, minimal white kitchen design is finished off with small black knobs that have a very subtle effect on this modern kitchen. Note that the black hardware on the bottom cabinets is all top-aligned, while the ones on the upper cabinets are bottom aligned, concentrating all the hardware in a single middle strip.

The elegant white cabinets are paired up with a black faucet and an impressive pendant light that accentuates the beautiful crown molding underneath the ceiling.

Tiny black knobs blend in against matte black cabinets

In this kitchen design, the cabinet hardware is barely noticeable, as it blends into the black color of the cabinets. The black oven and the tiny black knobs match the black cabinet color, creating a full black surface at the bottom of the kitchen layout.

The upper section of the kitchen layout is predominately white, with a white subway tile backsplash, a white kitchen sink, light wood countertops, and white walls. The black metal heater, black faucet, and black pendant lamp stand out against this upper white background and match the bottom half of the kitchen layout.

A beige kitchen with elegant black kitchen cabinet hardware

This beige kitchen with white marble countertops features the perfect hardware that is something in between a knob and a pull. The knobs are attached with a single drill hole, yet you can hold the hardware in your hand like a pull.

The beige walls, beige cabinet color, and beige peg rail are brightened up by the white marble countertops and the white wall lamp, yet the black faucet, black sink, and black cabinet hardware make the design interesting and add a lot of contrast.

Black knobs add contrast to trendy sage-green kitchen cabinets

The beautiful kitchen with sage green kitchen cabinets is finished off with wood countertops, a white porcelain farmhouse sink, and black knobs to open the cabinets.

It’s more common to pick out the faucet in the same material as the hardware, yet the black knobs in this kitchen are paired up with a brass faucet. The brass also comes back in the wall-mounted light fixtures, which nicely tie together the design.

A combination of black knobs and pulls in a beautiful grey kitchen

This beautiful kitchen with light grey kitchen cabinets is finished off with beige stone countertops and stainless steel appliances which gives it a modern expression with a classic touch.

The black knobs on the cabinet doors and drawers in the middle of the kitchen layout are paired up with black pulls on the fridge and freezer, as you need more grip to open these appliances.

The black of the hardware is complemented by beautiful black sockets on the white walls, which tie the look together perfectly.

Elegant black bar pulls contrast on white kitchen cabinets

The small bar pulls on these elegant white kitchen cabinets add a subtle strip to each of the cabinets that stand out against the white backdrop of the kitchen.

The matte black cabinet hardware and the black elements in the appliances and light fixtures along with the wood bar stools at the breakfast bar are the only non-white elements in this space, making them stand out in a very powerful way.

While knobs are easy to replace with just one hole and maybe a backplate, cabinet handles are more permanent as you make two holes in the cabinets at a predefined width and distance from each other. If, in the future, you get tired of them, you would need to source cabinet handles of the exact same size and distance in between the drill holes.

Small black knobs add a subtle touch to a minimal grey kitchen with beige walls

Mixing beige walls with dark grey cabinets and wood countertops results in quite the rich color and material palette in this kitchen already, hence the subtle addition of tiny black knobs to not overcrowd the kitchen layout.

The kitchen is spread onto a single wall, including both upper and lower cabinets, which generally benefit from a lighter hardware design.

Minimal black cabinet hardware on dark grey kitchen cabinets

The contrast in this living kitchen is very strong. The dark grey window frames, dark grey kitchen cabinets, and black glossy fridge stand out against the white walls and light hardwood flooring and this contrast has been carried over to the kitchen design as well.

The combination of the black faucet and the black cabinet hardware adds an industrial appearance to the otherwise classic design of the kitchen. The shaker kitchen cabinets and the white marble countertop and backsplash combined with the vintage dining table and the warm leather dining chairs on the other hand, provide this space with an elegant, classic look.

Black cup pulls finish off a tiny kitchen

The textured walls made out of white tile with black grout in this tiny kitchen form the perfect backdrop for a combination of minimal white cabinets with a black countertop, black hood, and black cup pulls to finish off the look.

The black pulls on these kitchen cabinets and the single drawer underneath the oven add a rustic touch to the kitchen and are easy to grab. Classic cup pulls tend to have a more traditional appearance, yet they do tend to look more modern in a black version rather than when you pick them out in brass or aluminum.

Black edge pulls on light oak kitchen cabinets

The light oak kitchen cabinets in this kitchen are paired up with a concrete tile backsplash, a black faucet, a black sink, and sleek edge pulls in matte black. The matte black metal adds visual interest to offset the otherwise very minimal cabinet design, making the cabinet handles a crucial design element of this kitchen.

This type of kitchen cabinet hardware has a more minimalistic effect on kitchen cabinets. When you have a lot of smaller drawers combined, the black hardware gets a more apparent look.

A Shiplap backsplash tends to give your space a farmhouse kitchen look, yet when combining it with more modern elements, this effect can be more modest and subtle. Adding shiplap backsplashes doesn’t have to completely transform your kitchen, it can be a subtle design detail as the kitchens in this list will show you.

White shiplap underneath a sloped roof

Kitchens underneath a sloped roof always require smart design solutions. In this cozy attic kitchen, the shiplap backsplash continues up until the point where the ceiling gets sloped, which adds a nice visual effect to the space.

The ceiling and walls above the shiplap have been treated with a beautiful limewash paint color. This combined with the brown floor and the wood dining table and chairs gives the space a subtle rustic touch.

The sage green kitchen cabinets in this beautiful farmhouse kitchen are complemented with a shiplap backsplash and a range hood in the same sage green paint color for a tone-on-tone look that has been finished off with a stainless steel stove, and a dark pink kitchen island.

The limestone countertop adds a modern texture to the kitchen design, while the farmhouse sink and the rail with the copper pans add a classic farmhouse touch to this dream kitchen.

White cabinets combined with white shiplap

The white glass cabinets combined with the white backsplash make this classic farmhouse kitchen light and airy, while the bottom sage green cabinets pair up so nicely with the green wallpaper on the wall at the dining table.

The bottom cabinets have wood paneling as well, matching the pattern of the shiplap kitchen backsplash in an elegant way and the space is even finished off with a shiplap ceiling.

White shiplap walls on top of white marble countertops

Rather than going for a yellow backsplash, the kitchen was finished off with off-white shiplap boards that make the white trim on the ceiling and the white countertops stand out. The off-white makes the kitchen design look calm and elegant, while the brass peg rail and the brass sconces finish the look off nicely.

A sage green shiplap backsplash on one side of the kitchen

If you don’t want your kitchen backsplash to be the same in your entire kitchen, you can always opt for a single wall made out of shiplap. By painting the shiplap in the same color as the kitchen cabinets, the look is subtle and down to earth.

The white cabinets on the top in this kitchen layout are hung up against a kitchen backsplash made out of white shiplap for a subtle effect that brings out the beautiful historic window trim in the space.

On the other side of the kitchen a tile backsplash is used by the white range hood, also covered in tiles for more variety in the interesting material palette.

Shaker cabinets finished off with an off-white shiplap backsplash

The off-white shiplap kitchen backsplash is the perfect finishing touch to this sage-green kitchen with beige limestone countertops and chrome hardware. The interior design of the shaker cabinets is quite minimal and modern, yet by applying the shiplap, it gets a traditional farmhouse touch.

White shiplap backsplash with white shaker cabinets

The white shaker cabinets, white shiplap kitchen backsplash, and white door frames in this kitchen stand out brightly against the subtle sage green wall color.

Only a small part of the kitchen has been treated with shiplap, which makes its effect even more subtle. The fluted design of the foot of the table mimics the lines in the shiplap, which makes them match together so nicely.

Vertical shiplap on the kitchen walls

The shiplap kitchen backsplash in this space has been painted in a sage green tone that is just a few shades lighter than the color of the cabinets, which has an interesting effect on the space.

The shiplap is continued over the entire kitchen walls for an impressive effect and the contrast of the black countertops and the black lamps adds a modern touch.

To finish the look off, a peg rail was added that spreads over the entire length of counter top.

A horizontal shiplap backsplash in off-white

While all the examples in the list so far use vertical shiplap, this sage green kitchen has an off-white horizontal shiplap backsplash that pairs up nicely with the stained wood countertop and brings out the white crown molding on the ceiling.

On the section by the window, where no upper cabinets are installed, the shiplap goes all the way up, while on the other side, it functions as a backsplash in between the lower and upper cabinets.

A gray marble countertop combined with a white shiplap kitchen backsplash

The white shiplap backsplash is very subtle in combination with the white walls and the white shaker cabinets, yet by placing wooden planks on top, it serves as a subtle focal point in the space.

The gray marble countertop and the black hardware add a contrasting modern element to this otherwise farmhouse-style kitchen design.

A shiplap kitchen backsplash on one side of the kitchen

This kitchen uses two color palettes on each side. The off-white cabinets on the left are finished off with a white range hood on a white wall, while the right side of the kitchen has been painted in a sage green color.

The sage green cabinets have been finished off by a sage green shiplap backsplash that also serves as a backrest for the seating bench by the dining table.

A shiplap backsplash behind a wood floating shelf set

The shiplap kitchen backsplash in this kitchen was added above a narrow white marble backsplash and integrates seamlessly with the open shelving in the same color. Since the walls have been painted in the same color well, it’s the white marble that really stands out in this kitchen design, yet the shiplap really adds a subtle farmhouse touch.

Shiplap boards on the entire wall above the kitchen

The walls in this two-tone kitchen have been finished off with off-white shiplap boards in the same off-white color as the upper cabinets and the open shelving for a light look. The bottom cabinets have a darker green color, which is contrasted by a white countertop and a beautiful stainless steel stove and range hood.

Subway tile is a great backsplash material as it can be cleaned easily. At the same time, it can give your kitchen the decorative touch it needs in combination with your choice of cabinet color and countertop material.

Subway tiles are available in different sizes and shades, with a matt or glossy finish and you can pick the color of the grout to either blend in or stand out. Since there are so many options for this backsplash material, I have compiled an extensive list of kitchen ideas for you below.

Light grey kitchen cabinets combined with white subway tile and stainless steel appliances

I love the way the stove is built inside a niche space in the wall so that the piping of the hood is enclosed below the ceiling. By matching the white countertops with white subway tiling on the backsplash, the different levels in the walls become less apparent and the overall look becomes more finished and sophisticated.

Blue kitchen cabinets and a white subway tile backsplash that goes all the way up to the ceiling

This beautiful kitchen with navy blue kitchen cabinets and a cool grey wall color has been finished off with a semi-gloss tile backsplash that goes all the way up to the crown molding on the ceiling.

The tiles set the dark blue color of the kitchen cabinets apart and I love the combination of the matt cabinet doors with the semi-gloss finish on the tiles.

White subway tiles in between the top and bottom cabinets

The light grey kitchen cabinets cover two entire walls from top to bottom in this kitchen for a rather heavy look that therefore provides the kitchen with a lot of storage space.

By using white countertops with a white backsplash made of glossy tiles, the design appears a lot lighter and the added texture adds a clean look and a point of interest.

A subway tile backsplash combined with sage green kitchen cabinets

This beautiful sage green shaker kitchen has a classic look that almost screams for a tile on the walls. By applying the backsplash up until the upper cabinets and also on the side walls of the kitchen, you get a finished effect similar to that of a bathroom wall and you can be sure not to have to worry about spills.

Make the white subway tile backsplash stand out against the wall and kitchen cabinet color

The dark grey kitchen cabinets in this turn-of-the-century space are finished off with white tiling that goes all the way up to the ceiling, finished off with dark grey grout. The tiles are a bit taller than the other examples in the list, giving the pattern a cleaner look, which is especially good when you want to cover such a large wall with tile.

The white backsplash tiling is finished off white a grey trim on the ceiling and the side, which nicely frames the pattern.

Subway tile as a backsplash and on the walls of this irregular layout

The slightly awkward layout of this kitchen results in the stove and hood being placed on a tiny wall surface next to the door. Since the white subway tile backsplash is applied on all the wall surfaces, the two kitchen areas are visually connected and the look becomes more streamlined.
