Norwegian Ask og Eng specializes in custom kitchens made out of bamboo kitchen cabinets for a modern and sustainable solution for kitchen designs and remodels. One of their kitchen remodels in a villa in Oslo features beautiful dark-stained bamboo combined with a beige limestone countertop and a chrome faucet for a modern look.
A kitchen island combined with a small dining area
The layout of the kitchen has been planned on both walls of the kitchen space, allowing for the middle area to be filled with a beautiful kitchen island.
The modern pattern of the hardwood flooring contrasts nicely with the dark-stained bamboo of the cabinets and the light greige wall color of the walls in the kitchen.
The wall without any windows is used to place the tall cupboards and appliances and on each side of the kitchen island, there is a spot for a dining table: a small round one to have a quick coffee and a larger one for family dinners.
Dark stained bamboo kitchen cabinets combined with warm tones
The dark tone of the bamboo is much more dramatic than the warm tones used in the kitchen design in this Rotterdam townhouse and I love the way it contrasts with the materials in the rest of the kitchen.
The handles of the kitchen cabinets have been integrated into the design for a minimal, yet elegant look and the absence of a backsplash gives this design a modern appearance.
A custom kitchen seating bench in front of the window
The main kitchen module by the windows is lowered on the side and makes a perfect seating bench by the dining table. By combining the dark bamboo with warm oak tones in both of the dining tables, the material and color palette looks very balanced.
Bamboo kitchen cabinets used for a custom solution in the adjacent living room
As a finishing touch, the material of the bamboo kitchen cabinets has been used in a custom storage solution in the living room as well. Open shelving to display objects is elegantly combined with closed storage on the bottom of the module.

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.
A white subway tile backsplash in a high-contrast kitchen
The white backsplash stands out in this high-contrast kitchen with black countertops and dark grey walls. The glossy finish on the tiles adds an elegant quality to the otherwise pretty basic Ikea kitchen and the black open shelving fits perfectly above the tile section.
White subway tile combined with natural stone countertops and green cabinets
The flat tiles used on the tall backsplash in this green kitchen work wonderfully in combination with the natural stone on the countertops, the dark green kitchen cabinets, and the chrome hardware. The tiling makes the angled wall more apparent and the light grout makes for a subtle pattern and texture.
A white subway tile backsplash with dark grout and white marble countertops
This characterful kitchen combines beige cabinet fronts with a marble countertop that is continued on the backsplash as well. The wall behind the kitchen has been completely covered in tile with a dark grout which serves as the perfect backdrop for the painting, the white shelf, and the wall lamps.
A narrow strip of white subway tile in between the dark blue cabinets
The dark blue cabinets on the top and bottom are connected by the tiling of the wall. The upper cabinets are continued in an open shelf going towards the window, which nicely trims off the wall of tiles and make the look complete.
A barely-there white subway tile backsplash in a minimal white kitchen
The white cabinets on the top and bottom of the kitchen have a very subtle effect in the room, which is complemented with very subtle matt white tiling on the backsplash and white countertops.
The backsplash between the upper and lower cabinets is continued on the wall behind the open shelf on the right side for an elegant finish.
White subway tile up to the ceiling and a statement stainless steel hood
The light grey shaker cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling combined with the impressive stainless steel hood in this kitchen give a very impressive, slightly industrial touch to the room.
By finishing the wall off with a subway tile backsplash, the industrial appearance becomes even stronger.
A subway tile backsplash in between black and white cabinets
The white subway tile backsplash in this kitchen connects the black kitchen cabinets on the bottom with the white cabinets on the top. The wall above the backsplash has been painted in a light yet warm grey wall color, which makes the beautiful tiling stand out even more.
A full wall of subway tile combined with open shelving
This small kitchen looks impressive because of the tall subway tile wall covering the wall on top of the kitchen cabinets. By applying open shelving on the tiled wall, this compact kitchen is finished off nicely and at the same time, these shelves offer additional storage space.
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.
A full wall covered with a tall subway tile backsplash combined with wood shelves and stainless steel appliances
The light grey kitchen cabinets are placed along a rather long wall in the kitchen, with wood shelving instead of upper cabinets on the top section of the layout. The white subway tile backsplash with a semi-gloss finish marks this section and separates it visually from the dining area and by continuing the tiles up to the ceiling and onto the side the effect is even more powerful.
The subway tile backsplash and white kitchen cabinets contrast with the black appliances and the grey walls
The simple white cabinets combined with the high-contrast black appliances are finished off with a brass faucet and a textured subway tile wall that contrasts nicely with the darker grey wall color on the walls.
Grey trim on top to make the subway tile backsplash stand out
The white cabinets, grey cement countertops, and stainless steel appliances give this kitchen an elegant industrial touch which is enhanced even more by the subway tile backsplash that goes almost up to the ceiling.
This look finished off with black pendant lights and black open shelving and a delicate warm grey wall color adds an elegant touch. Note that the tiles are not continued up to the crown molding, yet a small grey trim was applied to accentuate the tile wall.
A backsplash out of subway tile combined with light grey kitchen cabinets and brass hardware
The elegant light grey kitchen cabinets combined with the brass hardware and the white marble countertops work well in this space. The ceiling is lowered on top of the kitchen island to work in cables and the height of the upper cabinets and the white subway tile backsplash match the height of the added ceiling.
Wood countertops and a tall tile backsplash in a white kitchen
This minimal kitchen combines white cabinets with white tiling and white walls, complemented by a wood countertop that matches both the hardwood floor and the dining table.
The top of the subway tile backsplash is used for a cable pipe for the beautiful pendant lights above the counter and it looks like a subtle trim.
A white backsplash combined with floating wood shelves and stainless steel appliances
The piping of the stainless steel hood in this compact kitchen with white cabinets is concealed right below the ceiling. By continuing the white subway tile up to this point, this element is less apparent.
An impressive kitchen with grey cabinets and an industrial touch
The white tile with black grout gives this classic grey shaker kitchen an elegant industrial touch which works wonderfully together with the light grey walls, white crown molding, and the impressive chandelier on the ceiling.
Glossy tiles and brass accents in an elegant grey kitchen
This all-grey kitchen combines light grey walls, with darker grey trim, mid-grey floorboards and door frames, and light grey kitchen cabinets. All this grey has been complemented with glossy tiles on the backsplash and a gold spotlight.
A minimal kitchen where the tile feature wall stands out
This minimal kitchen with light grey cabinets gets a lot of natural light. Since this kitchen is so minimal, the white tiles with the black grout on such a large surface area steal the show and define the look of the entire kitchen.
A white kitchen with white countertops finished off with a white backsplash
This elegant kitchen with white cabinets on the top and bottom is finished off with subtle white glossy tiles with white grout for an all-white effect that is contrasted with the black exhaust and the brass hardware and faucet.
This beautiful white shaker kitchen is planned along two walls with a kitchen island in the middle. The wall by the window has been covered with both upper and lower cabinets, met with a white subway tile backsplash in the middle. By continuing the backsplash at the same height on the other wall, the kitchen design looks balanced.
An off-white shaker kitchen combined with a crisp white tile backsplash
The off-white cabinets and off-white walls add a lot of warmth to this kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a stainless steel countertop. By adding crisp white subway tile on the wall, the beautiful color of the cabinets is offset and gets even more attention.
The cabinets are finished off with brass hardware, and the subway tile wall is finished off with a brass rail to add the final touch.
A natural stone countertop finished off with white tile
The natural stone countertop is what stands out the most in this kitchen with light grey shaker cabinets. By adding a small trim of natural stone below the metro tile backsplash, the stone gets even more attention and I like the way both materials combine with the subtle color of the cabinets.
A functional white subway tile backsplash to hide the piping of the kitchen
The white subway tile backsplash is continued on the window sill in this kitchen for a finished look, yet it also hides the piping on the wall behind it. By still leaving an area below the ceiling rough and exposed, the kitchen gets an elegant industrial touch.
A small kitchen wall with subway tile in a grey kitchen with a kitchen island
The dark grey kitchen has been spread over three main sections in this living space to work around the doorways. Only the main section of the kitchen has been covered with tiles, protecting the wall where the hood and sink are.
A kitchen corner finished off with subway tile with a trim
This small kitchen module has been fitted around a corner, which is slightly awkward, yet by finishing it off with subway tile and a beige paint color, the design is tied together nicely.
A sage green shaker kitchen with an industrial touch and black accents
This beautiful sage green shaker kitchen with a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and black accent wall lamps has only one upper cabinet and very high ceilings. By using a white subway tile backsplash with black grout, the lower modules are visually heightened and the backsplash nicely fills the large wall area.
A farmhouse sink and wood countertops with an elegant white subway tile backsplash
The matt black kitchen cabinets, black dining table, black Gubi Semi pendant, and black radiator contrast so nicely with the white subway tile backsplash with black grout and the white walls in this kitchen.
The contrast is continued on the white farmhouse sink with the black faucet and the wood countertop and the beige in the artwork adds a bit of warmth to the color palette.
Stainless steel countertops with light grey cabinets and an impressive tile backsplash
This subtle grey kitchen design has been giving an industrial touch because of the large stainless steel hood above the stove. This industrial look is enhanced by the subtle white subway tile that goes all the way up to the lowered ceiling.
A full subway tile wall with dark grey kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances
The matt black kitchen with white and stainless steel countertops is built into a corner and finished off with an impressive wall of subway tile with black grout to match the cabinets. The vintage wood shelving adds a bit of a rustic feel to the space.
A white subway tile backsplash going over into an exposed brick wall
I love the way the glossy white tiles on the backsplash in this kitchen meet the white-painted exposed brick wall above it. The play between the texture, pattern, and shapes of these makes for a very interesting look that has been finished off with stainless steel appliances and steel in the shelves, rails, and faucet.
This elegant, angled white shaker kitchen has been finished off with a crisp white subway tile backsplash material and a spot of green in the lamp above the sink for a bright, airy, and elegant look.
A subway tile feature wall with rails to hang pans
The white tiles with black grout have been used as a backsplash in between the white cabinets of the kitchen, yet they are also brought back on the wall by the dining table where the pans are hanging on rails. The blue walls offset these subway tile surfaces nicely and elevate the look.
Grey walls combined with white subway tile and sage green kitchen cabinets
The white subway tile backsplash with black grout is continued as high as the high cupboard holding the fridge in this sage green kitchen. The grey walls accentuate the white crown molding on the ceiling and the white subway tile in an elegant way.
White subway tile and black cabinets for an industrial touch
The industrial vibe in this kitchen brought on by the farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and exposed piping is enhanced by the subway tile backsplash going all the way up to the ceiling. The white open shelving in front of the tiles is modest and puts all the attention on the tiles.
Small subway tile in an elegant white shaker kitchen
The simple white cabinets combined with the elegant white subway tile backsplash and the white marble countertops make the beautiful stainless steel stove the real focal point in this kitchen.
Grey cabinets combined with subway tile and stainless steel appliances
The white backsplash with dark grey grout enhances this simple grey kitchen and the U-shape is highlighted by the beautiful marble countertops. The gold faucet and the black wall lamps finish the look off perfectly and the light grey wall color above the tiles works perfectly with the color of the cabinets.
Cement countertops and subway tile finished off with wood and brass elements
I love the elegant, yet industrial vibe going on in this kitchen brought on by the combination of the cement countertops, white shaker cabinets, gold faucet, and the white subway tile backsplash. These elements work wonderfully together and are finished off with wood shelving and a brass and glass chandelier.
A farmhouse sink in a black kitchen with a full subway tile wall
The high contrast between the glossy white tiles, the farmhouse sink, and the deep black kitchen cabinets in this kitchen works wonderfully with the rich warm wood of the hardwood floor that also comes back on the inside of the tall glass cupboard.
A white subway tile backsplash with black grout covering two walls
I love the play between the white subway tile backsplash with black grout and the black and white kitchen floor tiles. The combination of these two patterns adds a beautiful decorative touch to the otherwise modest grey kitchen.
Eye-catching black grout and pale sage green kitchen cabinets
The white tiles with black grout are a real eye-catcher in this pale sage green shaker kitchen, which can be seen from the other room. The texture of the tiles works beautifully with the shaker design of the cabinets and the elegant hardwood flooring.
A tall subway tile white backsplash with a black hood
The light grey shaker cabinets and white marble countertops in this kitchen are finished off by a beautiful white backsplash with white tiles combined with white grout which form the perfect backdrop for the contrasting black hood.
A grey shaker kitchen with subway tile and a natural stone countertop
The upper cabinets in this kitchen are placed higher on top of the stove to integrate the hood, yet because the subway tile backsplash is continued also on this higher backsplash section, it looks natural.
Subway tile in combination with a statement wallpaper
I love the white backsplash made of subway tile that meets the wall with the elaborate flower wallpaper. It’s a combination that gives this kitchen a farmhouse look which works wonderfully with the shaker design of the kitchen itself.
Bespoke kitchen manufacturer Nordiska Kök from Sweden has teamed up with AO/JN Interiors for this one-of-a-kind statement kitchen design with a minimalist appearance, which is enhanced with Arabescato Corchia marble slabs and has elements of Italian, Scandinavian, and French interior design combined.
The Arabescato Corchia marble has a darker grain than classic white marble, which gives the kitchen an elegant look. The marble stands in sharp contrast with the minimal, white kitchen cabinets and gives the turn-of-the-century space a modern twist. The backsplash is extended into a marble floating shelf that blends in with the background.
The Arbescato marble also comes back in the elaborate design of the kitchen island, which features a breakfast bar and a stepped design on the bottom.
The minimal white cabinets and the bold marble surfaces are combined with stainless steel countertops, which gives the design a modern twist and a youthful, elegant touch.
The existing architectural elements in the space, like the beautiful historic fireplace, are highlighted by the design of the kitchen. The cupboards on the side of the fireplace are curved, emphasizing this ornate historic element. The crown molding on the ceiling follows the curved in the cabinets, which is a nice touch.

Making French press coffee is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to make your coffee, as the coffee grounds are the only waste you are producing with this method. A portable French press doesn’t take up too much space on your counter or in your kitchen cabinets, making it a great option for small-space living.
Below I listed the best French press coffee makers that fit perfectly in a modern interior. Because everything that you leave out on the countertop better has a nice design, that’s at least how I try to decorate my kitchen.
The iconic Stelton EM77 French press coffee maker designed by Erik Magnussen
The iconic Stelton EM77 range designed by Erik Magnussen is a true Danish design icon. The French press shares the same minimal and simple design language as the more famous vacuum jug, can hold up to eight cups, and has double walls to keep your coffee warm for longer.
Danish design brand HAY gave the classic French press design a colorful update made from borosilicate glass. The contrasting lid and knob add a decorative element to the design, which is available in different colorways. This is definitely the most playful design among the glass French presses.
Bodum Chambord french press coffee maker
The Bodum Chambord coffee maker is the best-known French press and has a beautiful, classic design that is available in a multitude of colorways. The CHAMBORD French presses are used worldwide to turn coffee grounds into great-tasting coffee and are said to be among the best French presses. Even though this info comes from the website of the brand itself, it most certainly is one of the most affordable French presses out there.
Stelton Theo French press
The Theo line designed by Francis Cayouette for Stelton combines Scandinavian design with Asian culture in a sophisticated way. The Theo line has been designed to stimulate the senses and the French press coffee maker is made out of black stoneware with a shiny glaze on the inside.
Bernadotte French Coffee Press from Georg Jensen

This minimal living kitchen includes a kitchen module beautiful Calacatta Viola marble kitchen island, combined with a dining area in soft wood tones and a minimal living room space that matches the look.
The kitchen island is covered on the top and sides with beautiful slaps of marble, which has been used on the kitchen counters and backsplash as well.
A minimal yet classy kitchen with an eye-catching marble kitchen island
The Calacatta Viola kitchen island is the eye-catcher in this living kitchen for sure and because of its presence, the rest of the interior can be very modest with clean lines.
The renovated turn-of-the-century apartment has a beautiful herringbone hardwood floor in soft oak, which has been complemented with an off-white wall color that brings out the white trim and floorboards in the room.
The kitchen layout is planned out on the wall, with cupboards going all the way up to the ceiling holding the main appliances and an area with lower cupboards by the window to hold the sink.
The minimal shaker-style kitchen cabinets are painted in the same color as the walls for a tone-on-tone look that makes the marble kitchen island, countertops, and black hardware stand out in a beautiful way.
The stove top is integrated into the marble kitchen island, giving it a clean and elegant look ensuring that the marble can get all the attention it deserves. You often see marble kitchen islands with marble slabs on the top and one side, but to have a marble cube-shape completely wrapped in marble is quite special.
A dining area with oak wood and a hidden glass cabinet
Since the kitchen island itself doesn’t have any integrated seating, a round dining table in the space next to the kitchen complements the space perfectly and provides a seating area in close proximity to the kitchen itself.
The oak wood of the CH24 wishbone chairs and of the dining table adds a lot of warmth to the otherwise neutral-colored interior and the wood tones complement the hardwood flooring nicely.
On the wall next to the dining table, a built-in glass cabinet has found its place in the wall, which is an original way of integrating extra storage into the kitchen.
A living space with a minimal look
Since the marble kitchen island has such a strong design language, the rest of the interior has been kept very simple. The living room has only the necessary functional furniture for a minimal look that is understated yet elegant.
The white fabric sofa combined with the black Lato side tables from &Tradition works nicely in combination with the white fabric armchair and the off-white wool rug.
All these textiles add a soft textural palette to the colors and patterns that can be found naturally in the beautiful marble on the kitchen island.
A kitchen with white cabinets is such a timeless design choice that you see in many homes and you really can’t do anything wrong with this combination. A clean and minimal white kitchen can look boring to some, and fresh to others, yet if you combine the white cabinets with black countertops, you add a certain contrast that makes the design of your white kitchen much more interesting.
I have recently written a post about the most inspiring white kitchen ideas, and a post about black kitchen ideas as well, yet I thought the combination of white cabinets and black countertops deserved a post of its own as it’s such a great, contrasting combination that can add such an impressive amount of character and personality to your kitchen design.
White shaker cabinets with black countertops and a checkered floor
The contrast between the white cabinets and the black countertops in this beautiful shaker kitchen is enhanced even further by the checkered floor in black and white. The impressive black stove and the black pendant lights also contribute to the balanced contrast, and the light grey paint color on the walls softens out the look.
The u-shaped layout of the white cabinets goes over into a lower area in front of the window, which has dual functionality as storage combined with a seating bench. On the opposite side of the kitchen, you can find high storage cabinets and the glass front cabinets next to the stove give the layout a lighter look. The recessed stove is treated with a tile backsplash, for an elegant effect.
Balance Out Contrasting Dark Countertops with a Subtle Beige Wall Color
Dark countertops in a kitchen with white cabinets will undoubtedly result in a strong contrast, especially if the color palette in the entire kitchen space is black or white. In this beautiful Ikea Bodbyn kitchen, the white soaped wood floor and the white subway tile backsplash contribute to the high-contrast look, making the dark countertops stand out.
To balance out this black-and-white contrast, the walls of this kitchen with white cabinets are painted in a subtle beige tone. This results in a soft color palette, from which the stainless steel appliances stand out.
Minimal white kitchen cabinets with a black countertop and black backsplash tiles
The minimal white kitchen cabinets in this open-plan home are built into a corner of the space with two lower walls separating the kitchen from the hallway and the living room. One of the walls has been used to mount the TV, which is a wonderful solution for an open floorplan.
White cabinets and stainless steel appliances combined with black granite countertops
The black granite countertop in this kitchen is continued within the niche space of the white cabinets, resulting in a contrasting black element containing floating shelves. The impressive stainless steel range hood above the stove is combined with a stainless steel countertop in this section and the black kitchen island completes this look perfectly.
The clean mix of the black countertop and white cabinetry with the stainless steel appliances works so well in this kitchen, giving it a minimal, yet industrial look and feel.
An eye-catching black marble countertop and simple white Ikea cabinets
The beautiful pattern in the black marble countertop enhances the basic white Ikea cabinets fronts in such an elegant way. I love the way the induction stove just seems to disappear in dark countertops like this one, this way it doesn’t attract as much attention.
The white cabinets are enhanced with subtle chrome hardware and the black pendant light finishes off the look perfectly.
White cabinets with integrated handles and black marble countertops
The modern white cabinets in this kitchen have a subtly integrated handle, which matches up perfectly with the classic look of the black marble countertop. The range hood and stove in stainless steel add another material to the look, which complements the dark wood floors nicely.
The layout of the kitchen includes a narrow kitchen island that offers extra workspace, yet also visually separates the kitchen from the dining area.
Dark countertops combined with a light wood floor, white cabinets, and a grey wall
The raised panel doors in this kitchen add a subtle classic look to the space, which matches nicely with the crown molding on the ceiling. The dark countertops combined with the black Gubi bestlite wall lamps add a subtle contrast to the soft palette that is finished off so nicely by the subtle grey paint color on the wall.
A tiny kitchen with white cabinets, black countertops, and a black range hood
What this tiny kitchen lacks in floor space, it more than makes up for in style. I love the contrast between the white cabinets and the black countertops, which is enhanced even further by the black hardware and the black range hood.
The white porcelain sink with the gold faucet adds a certain elegance to this contrasting look and the open shelving on both walls offers extra storage space without making the layout of the kitchen too heavy.
The black floor contrasts nicely with the white cabinetry and the white subway tiles with black grout that cover the entire wall follow the black and white combination that’s also present in the kitchen itself.
Off-white cabinets with black granite countertops and chrome hardware
The minimal off-white cabinets on both the top and bottom of this kitchen layout complement this turn-of-the-century space so nicely. The dark countertops add a wonderful contrasting element to the space that works well with the warm wood flooring and the wood tones in the furniture.
Minimal white cabinets with black countertops and a grey backsplash
This gorgeous contemporary kitchen fills the entire wall of this open-plan living space with light wood flooring. The black countertops are combined with a cement tile backsplash for a modest look enhanced by the minimal white cabinets with integrated handles.

A small white kitchen with a black countertop and lots of storage
The white subway tile backsplash in this kitchen with white cabinets and black countertops goes all the way up to the ceiling, which gives it a very finished look with an industrial touch that is enhanced by the stainless steel range hood.
The white cabinets are limited to lower modules on the back and side wall, combined with open shelving to give this niche kitchen a spacious look. The other wall, however, has been filled with ceiling-high cupboards that offer ample storage space.
A minimal kitchen design with white cabinets, black countertops, and a white marble backsplash
The combination of the white cabinets with the black countertops in this small yet minimal kitchen is strengthened by the black tones in the elegant bar cart with gold details and the dining chairs at the dining table.
The chrome hardware, faucet, and sink add a subtle industrial touch to the look, while the white marble backsplash gives the kitchen design a certain elegance.

U-shaped white kitchen cabinets with black countertops and open shelving
This living space has dark grey walls, which really benefit from a contrasting kitchen with white cabinets and black countertops. The contrast has been enhanced by using a white subway tile backsplash and black open shelving, which enhance the look of this rather basic kitchen a lot.
Off-white cabinets with black marble countertops and a stainless steel hood
These off-white cabinets go in the direction of light grey depending on the angle from which you look at them, yet the contrast is just as strong as with other white cabinets and black countertop combinations, which is what it’s all about in this list.
The kitchen cabinets have been fitted in between two walls, which looks very nice and the black countertop has been extended into a low backsplash, which gives the kitchen a bright and clean look. The stainless steel hood, black wall lamp, peg rail, and single open shelf are the perfect details for this simple kitchen design.
An older white kitchen with black countertops and light blue walls
This kitchen is rather dated, yet the contrasting look between the white cabinets and the darker countertops is so timeless it still works. The kitchen look has been updated by adding a light blue wall color and subtle open shelving to the space.
Black granite countertops and classic white cabinets paired with a dark wall
The classic white kitchen cabinets fill the entire left wall of the kitchen space, with the black granite countertop standing out of the white backdrop in a contrasting way.

The wood accessories on the countertop and the white floating kitchen shelf add a focal point and a beautiful warmth to the space.
Black kitchen cabinets are a great choice if you want a contrasting look in your kitchen and just like white, beige, or grey, black cabinets are neutral and timeless so they are easy to combine with a variety of different materials on your walls, floors, or countertops.
Below you can find my top selection of kitchen ideas with black cabinets and while they all have the kitchen cabinets color in common, they all have their distinct layout plan and color palette to go with it. You can combine black kitchen cabinets with stainless steel for a more industrial look, go for shaker cabinets for a contrasting yet classic design or use elements like limestone, marble, or gold details to make your black kitchen more elegant and sophisticated.
A white and black cabinets kitchen with a beige limestone countertop
The off-white painted walls, white-soaped hardwood floors, and white ceilings in the apartment form the perfect backdrop for the contrasting black kitchen cabinets with chrome hardware in a subtle shaker style.
The limestone countertops add a lot of warmth to the look and the single row of black cabinets has been completed with white cabinets on the walls for a lighter and more balanced look. The open shelving and small black pendant lights finish off this elegant look perfectly.
The black cabinetry in this kitchen has been planned out on the top and the bottom for a look that’s a bit more on the dark side, yet because of the contrast with the white walls and the white marble countertops the result is contrasting yet elegant.
The black cabinets show a bit of wood grain and are paired up with black hardware for a tone-on-tone look. The distressed dining table combined with the metal dining chairs adds a bit of a rustic industrial touch to the space, which contrasts nicely with the sleek modern look of the tick marble on the counters.
Black cabinets with an original backsplash and an exposed brick wall
The L-shape of the kitchen in this room combined with higher storage cupboards on the wall opposite the window really enhances the layout and the interior design of this space.
The matt black cabinets pair up nicely with the subtle off-white walls and the exposed brick wall adds a lot of character. Rather than going for a backsplash that is spread over the entire length of the kitchen, pentagon tiles are placed behind the cooking space and the sink area to protect the wall.
Black kitchen cabinets with gold hardware and white marble countertops
This large yet narrow kitchen layout with black cabinets works really well in this space with a full row of windows on the side. When planning the kitchen remodel, the lower cupboards were placed on either side of the layout, with upper cabinets and full-height cupboards completing the design.
The gold hardware and the white marble on the countertop and backsplash finish off the look of this black cabinets kitchen really nicely and add a classy touch to the design. Note that the upper cabinets have glass fronts, which makes the kitchen design lighter in appearance.
Black cabinetry combined with black appliances for a dramatic effect
The combination of the black shaker cabinets with the black hood against the white wall and white flooring in this apartment has so much contrast and frankly has a bit of a dramatic touch.
The upper cabinets are placed slightly below the ceiling, drawing attention to the crown molding. The gold hardware and faucet work nicely against the black cabinets and the little white marble bistro table finishes this kitchen look off perfectly.
A black kitchen with stainless steel appliances for an industrial kitchen look
The concrete beams and pillars give this space an industrial appearance already, which is enhanced even more by the use of stainless steel in the kitchen design. The combination of the lower cabinets and the kitchen island works well in this niche corner and upper cabinets are used solely in the darkest area of the space, where natural light is scarcest.
The white floating shelving next to the stainless steel hood adds an elegant touch to the subway tile backsplash that goes all the way up to the ceiling and the metal bar stools strengthen the industrial look even more.
Matt black cabinets combined with a white shiplap backsplash
The sleek modern look of the matt black cabinets in this small and narrow kitchen combined with the white marble on the counter, the white backsplash made of shiplap, and the beige limestone treatment on the wall and sloped ceiling make for an elegant and interesting look.
The black cabinets are combined with black hardware and black wall lamps for a tone-on-tone look and narrow white cabinets are used in the more narrow section of the kitchen providing extra kitchen storage in a compact space without overcrowding the layout.
Black shaker cabinets with stainless steel appliances and open shelving
This black kitchen has such impressive design details combined. The shaker-style black cabinets combined with the exposed brick wall, stainless steel appliances, gold hardware, and wall-to-wall open shelving have such an impressive effect on the space.
The natural light coming in through the windows creates a soft reflection on the semi-matt black cabinets and the white shiplap backsplash adds a bit of a farmhouse touch to the interior design of the space.

A minimal black kitchen with white countertops
This kitchen belongs to interior designer Elisabeth Heier and is the perfect example of how black cabinets can work in a minimalist kitchen design. The matt black kitchen cabinets have an integrated handle in the front and the exhaust is built into a white casing to match the color of the walls.
The black cabinets stand out so nicely against the soft oak hardwood flooring and the white backsplash wall and the black comes back in the faucet and the dining chairs as well for an integrated look.
A penthouse is an ideal spot for a black kitchen, as they usually tend to get an abundance of daylight. The layout of this beautiful kitchen has been meticulously planned around the sloped ceilings and the black cabinets are paired up with a beautiful marble stone on the counters and on the kitchen island.
The cooking space has been integrated into the marble kitchen island and the sink has been placed in an area with a lot of ceiling height. Both places allow you to stand comfortably, while storage functionalities (like the wine cooler) and other appliances are located underneath the area with a lower ceiling.
Black kitchen with leather pulls and a black wooden countertop
This kitchen has a lot of character and personality because of the leather pulls and the vintage dining table, however, the kitchen module itself has a very minimal look. The wood of the black cabinets comes back in the same wooden countertop for an integrated effect.
The kitchen layout has been planned in an L-shape by the wall to allow additional functionality in the rest of the room of this small apartment. Note that the upper cabinets are white, for a lighter appearance.
Black cabinets with a visible wood grain and a subway backsplash
The layout of this black and white kitchen with a subway tile backsplash has been planned in such an elegant way. The kitchen cabinets are also used as window seat which is filled with a variety of throw pillows. Almost the entire wall has been filled with low cabinet modules, with the exception of the hood which is cased in white fronts.
On the side of the room opposite the window, all the full-height cupboards are located for extra storage, and rather than having all-black cabinetry, a lighter look has been achieved with white kitchen cabinets on the other wall.
Black cabinets with stainless steel hardware against a light grey wall
The matt black cabinets of this kitchen are combined with a black faucet, marble on the counters, and stainless steel hardware for an elegant look in this turn-of-the-century apartment.
The impressive Vertigo pendant above the island is a real focal point in this kitchen and adds a sophisticated look to the space. Almost the entire kitchen consists out of black cabinets, however, the upper cabinets holding the hood have been picked out in a light grey color that matches the color scheme of the walls.
A black cabinets kitchen with black appliances and black hardware
This all-black kitchen has subtle matt black cabinets combined with black hardware and even black countertops and a low black backsplash for a full black appearance that contrasts nicely with the white walls and the exposed brick on the other side.
On the wall, you can see my Crinkled no.2 art print which together with the wood details, adds a lot of warmth to the black kitchen cabinets. The exposed brick wall has a niche space, which is used for open shelving.
Though at first glance these kitchen cabinets seem to be black when you take a closer look at the pictures you’ll notice they are a very dark grey. The impressive height of the kitchen highlights the ceiling height of this beautiful loft and you can see there is a ladder rail installed to reach the top kitchen cabinets.
The warm stone counters and backsplash combined with the gold hardware and the oak wood dining table and chairs add a lot of warmth to the color scheme of this beautiful loft.
Black cabinets with a visible wood grain in a living kitchen
The visible wood grain in this kitchen with black cabinets gives an elegant texture to the kitchen, which consists of lower cupboards exclusively for a lighter look spread out over two main modules: one with the sink and one with the cooking space.
The black cupboards that form the kitchen island are open on the back, turning the kitchen into an open bookshelf on the side of the living room, which is a great solution for a living kitchen.
The light beige walls are enhanced by the beige limestone countertops and the stainless steel hardware with the cognac leather detail finishes off this look perfectly.
Matt black cabinets without hardware and black marble countertops
The black kitchen cabinets in this spacious kitchen don’t have any hardware, which gives them a very clean and minimal look. The black marble countertop and backsplash accentuate the dramatic effect the black cabinets have on the space even further and the contrast with the white paint on the wall is impressive.
The large black cabinets on the wall flow over into low cabinets that are made into a beautiful seating bench by the dining table and the island module in the middle completes the look perfectly.
Black kitchen cabinets combined with beige walls and brass hardware for a warm look
The combination of the black kitchen cabinets with the visible wood grain, the beige walls, and the fresh white marble on the countertops work so well in this beautiful kitchen. The kitchen cabinets on the top and bottom are completed with a tall cupboard on the opposite wall for ample storage space.
The black kitchen cabinets are combined with brass hardware and a brass faucet from Tapwell is the cherry on top of this beautiful space.
Black kitchen cabinets wrapped around a corner for an interesting and contrasting design
The layout of this black kitchen is uncommon, yet by continuing the kitchen layout and wrapping it around the wall corner, an extra worktop is created and the kitchen visually appears bigger.
The black kitchen cabinets are combined with chrome hardware with leather details and a beige limestone countertop adds a warm touch to the black and grey palette of the cabinets and the wall color. The small black pendant lights finish the look of nicely and I love the floating shelves on the side of the high cupboards for the little clipboards as decor.
Black kitchen cabinets with white marble countertops and an uncommon layout
The layout of this kitchen is quite intriguing. Rather than placing the kitchen island in one line with the other black cabinets, the design choice was made to place it at an angle, which works nicely for the flow of the space.
The black kitchen cabinets are paired up with white marble countertops, soft limewash paint on the walls, and gold hardware to finish the look off.
Together with Swedish kitchen manufacturer Nordiska Kök, London-based architect Åsa Hjort designed a minimalist oak kitchen for the scenic ‘Villa Hallen’ in Sweden.
Natural materials for a minimalist Scandinavian kitchen design
Just like the rest of the architectural details inside the house, the kitchen is composed of organic surfaces in oak, grey quartzite, and concrete. The appliances are all built-in to achieve a minimalist look and feel so typical for Scandinavian design.
The natural grain on the oak cabinets and the natural texture of the quartzite and concrete create a vibrant play in the otherwise clean and minimal design.
The natural materials in this kitchen are complemented with hardware in stainless steel, which along with the concrete flooring enhances the modern look of the space.
A kitchen layout with two kitchen islands
Two kitchen islands are quite uncommon in a kitchen layout, yet it works wonderfully in the space. The U-shaped layout of the kitchen consists of a lower module in front of the window, high cupboards against the wall, and an island both on the other side and in the middle of the space.
Rather the fitting the tall cabinets all the way up to the ceiling, the wall above the window aligns with the white space above the high cupboards for a minimal effect with a clean separation.

Posted inKitchen Inspiration, Uncategorized|Comments Off on Architect Åsa Hjort designs a minimalist oak kitchen for ‘Villa Hallen’ in Sweden
Ground pepper is a key element while preparing a nice meal and just like grinding salt, it’s so important during and after cooking. Since the salt and pepper shakers or grinders will inevitably take such a prominent spot in the kitchen or dining table, it’s one of those elements that should be pretty so there is no need to hide them away in a cupboard.
You can buy pre-ground salt and add it to a shaker, yet when I’m cooking, I personally like to use coarse salt or even salt crystals sometimes, which is why I prefer a salt grinder instead. As for pepper, a grinder is a no-brainer for me because I think the pre-ground pepper loses so much flavor.
Other than preparing better-tasting food though, I love a well-designed salt and pepper set and I think there are some pretty nifty design pieces that are more modern than the typical Peugeot pepper mill. I have listed my favorites down below for you.
Bottle Grinder salt and pepper mills designed by Norm Architects for Menu
The bottle grinder set designed by Norm Architects for Menu* is shaped like a bottle and sits comfortably in your hand. Since it was first released many years ago, it has become almost like a staple in modern Scandinavian kitchens, and in the meanwhile, the design is available in metal, ceramic, and plastic in many different color combinations.
I like the minimal expression of the design and the ceramic grinders are my personal favorite as the combination with the wood top becomes so much more powerful. A perfect pair made to add freshly ground salt or pepper to your dish both in the kitchen and on the dining room table.
Vipp salt and pepper grinder set
The Vipp salt and pepper mill set is made to fit the kitchen or dining room and the set comes with a dish that holds any salt or pepper residue. The ceramic grinding mechanism can be adjusted to the desired coarseness settings and the metal swivel top gives the set an industrial touch that fits perfectly on a high-end Vipp kitchen, however, it can give a modern look to any minimal kitchen as well. I have had this set in my personal home for years now and I’m very happy with it.
Eva Solo salt and pepper grinders
This pepper and salt mill set* is sold individually as it can be composed in different sizes. The ceramic core comes with a 25-year warranty and each grinding mechanism can be used for either pepper or salt. Different grind settings allow you to set the grind size and the mills are very easy to refill. You can pick the size upon your preference, but I personally think the set works best with two different sizes. This way you can distinguish salt and pepper and I think it looks aesthetically more balanced.
Kähler Hammershøi salt and pepper mill with a porcelain top
The grooves on the Kähler Hammershøi collection have become somewhat of an icon since over a decade ago and they are a significant element in the design of the salt and pepper grinders as well. The porcelain top is combined with an oak base, which gives the grinders an elegant, Scandinavian appearance.
The porcelain top is available in different colours so you can easily recognize your favorite salt, pepper, or spice grinder from each other. The simple ceramic grinding mechanism from Crushgrind® allows for a coarse grind or fine grind and comes with a 25-year warranty.
Skagerak Hammer grinder
The design of the Hammer grinder is inspired by nature and the old fortress on the Danish island of Bornholm. The Hammer grinder is available in teak or oak and together they make a neat little set for your grind salt or pepper.
OyOy Hoop mill salt and pepper grinders
The Hoop salt and pepper grinder from OyOy is probably the most playful design in this list. It’s a perfect design for adding freshly ground pepper or your favorite salt to a dish on the dinner table. The design comes in two different FSC-certified wood finishes so you can distinguish pepper, salt, or other spices you have inside.
Rig Tig Cheffy salt and pepper shakers
The Cheffy mess-free salt grinder designed by Renaud Defrancesco is very easy to fill and the streamlined grooves and rounded top offer a good grip for easy grinding. The ceramic grinder can withstand daily wear and tear and is made to last many years to come.
Alessi Twergi salt and pepper grinder set designed by Ettore Sottsass
Ettore Sottsass designed the Twergi pepper mill along with a number of other wooden products for Alessi. The mill is made with a classic woodturning technique and comes in multiple designs and cheerful colorways so you can customize and combine your personal set to your liking.
Owl salt and pepper shakers designed by Jesper Wolff for Spring Copenhagen
These cute Owl salt and pepper mills designed by Jesper Wolff for Spring Copenhagen are inspired by northern hemisphere wildlife, resulting in a playful, charming, and humorous design that can be seen both in the kitchen as well as on the dining table.
Ferm Living Pebble pepper and salt grinders
The organic form and soft curves of the sculptural ‘Pebble’ grinders by Ferm Living are made out of FSC™-certified ash with a carbonized finish. The organic design is inspired by man-made stacks of stones often raised for memorial purposes. These grinders give your kitchen or dining space an artistic and sculptural element and the grinders are almost like an art object rather than a functional kitchen element.
Choosing white cabinets for the design of your kitchen is probably the safest bet you can make when you want a kitchen that is timeless. When you pick out a high-quality kitchen and opt for a white color palette, it can last for years to come. You can always update the faucet and the hardware to give it a slightly updated look over time when needed.
While it’s probably the safest choice, it doesn’t mean a white kitchen design has to be boring. Below you can find my top picks of kitchens in white, ranging from a traditional to a more modern kitchen design, from custom cabinets to Ikea models and many different layouts to be inspired by.
Minimal white cabinets with black hardware and marble countertops
This well-designed, minimal white kitchen is built inside a turn-of-the-century apartment with intricated details in the architecture. The crown moldings, curved windows, and herringbone hardwood flooring are toned down by the subtle interior design of the kitchen.
The white marble on the countertops and on the impressive kitchen island with the built-in gas stove is a true show-stopper in this large kitchen.
No upper cabinetry is used throughout the design, yet a large module has been placed on the wall opposing the windows. The black hardware and faucet contrast with the white cabinetry, which also comes back in the ceiling lamp and the ceramic vases on the counter.
Off-white shaker kitchen with a limestone countertop and a breakfast bar
Rather than going for a crisp white, off-white cabinetry can often have a softer effect on the interior design of a kitchen. The white wall color combined with the dark wood flooring and the beige limestone countertop has a very warm effect in the kitchen that has been toned down by the chrome hardware and the stainless steel hood.
The corner layout of the kitchen offers a lot of storage space on a small surface, while the kitchen island offers the possibility of a breakfast bar.
Minimal white cabinets with wall-to-wall upper cabinets
This modern kitchen features minimal white cabinets that are built into a niche-like space up onto the adjacent wall. The white wall color, white cabinets, and light oak hardwood flooring are warmed up by the limestone countertops and the impressive black marble dining table by the window brings some contrast to the palette.
A classy white kitchen combined with a vintage dining table
The beautiful white cabinetry in this kitchen with off-white walls has been enhanced with white marble on the counter and backsplash, small brass hardware, and a black wall lamp. The exhaust has been hidden in a cabinet as well for a minimal look.
The real contrasting piece in this beautiful white kitchen is the beautiful vintage wood dining table, which adds so a different texture to the space.
White cabinets and floating marble shelving underneath a sloped ceiling
The minimal white cabinetry in this kitchen by interior designer WTP studios with sloped ceilings has been enhanced by grey marble on the countertops, and on the sloped wall for such an impressive effect. The grey marble has also been used as floating shelves above the sink.
Minimal white cabinets with wall-to-wall floating shelving
I love the way the hood has been built into the layout of this small kitchen with white floors, walls, and ceilings. The hood has been built into a cabinet and has been matched with floating shelves on each side for an integrated effect.
The limestone countertops and the black wall lamp add just the right amount of warmth and contrast to this otherwise white space, while the dark palette of the small round dining table and chairs also adds visual interest to all the white surfaces.
Minimal white kitchen with a zellige tile backsplash and wood finishes
The design of these kitchen cabinets might be minimal, yet the addition of the zellige tiles as a backsplash going all the way up to the ceiling makes this kitchen so interesting. The tiles provide a textured yet neutral backdrop to the limestone counters and the round marble dining table combined with the J39 dining chairs complete the look nicely.

White cabinetry without hardware for a minimal look
The minimal kitchen cabinetry has the same off-white color as the wall for a tone-on-tone look contrasted by the black faucet and wall lamps.

Minimal white shaker cabinet doors without hardware for a minimal yet classy
look
The classic cabinetry in this off-white kitchen designed by Lotta Agaton doesn’t have any cabinet hardware, which makes this sleek design minimal yet classic. The layout consists mostly of lower cabinetry, which is enhanced by a minimal floating shelf above the sink.
The closed cabinets of the minimal kitchen are joined by a cabinet with a glass front and oak wood inlay which goes perfectly with the large oak dining table and benches by the window. I love that the color scheme of the kitchen cabinets matches that of the walls and ceiling, while the wood tones in the dining area match the color of the hardwood flooring.
White cabinets in shaker style with a dark limestone countertop
The all-white look of the cabinets, subway tile, walls, and ceiling in this space has been broken up by the dark limestone on the counter. The stainless steel hardware goes well with the classic cabinets and the combination of high and low cabinets offers ample storage space.
White kitchen cabinets with marble and chrome hardware
The all-white kitchen cabinets, white marble on the backsplash and countertop, and the white floating shelf give this space a clean and bright appearance which has been brought out even more by the chrome faucet and cabinet hardware.
The round white dining table combined with the CH24 wishbone chairs in oak wood softens out the space, while the black wall light fixture from Valerie Objects adds a sculptural touch to the kitchen.
The natural light in this beautiful kitchen is just off the charts and the off-white wall color is matched by the kitchen cabinets for a beautiful tone-on-tone look. The layout of the kitchen consists of low cabinets mostly, with the exception of the single higher module that holds the fridge, and the vitrine cabinet with the oak wood inlay you can spot in the dining room section of the kitchen.
White cabinets with integrated handles and stainless steel appliances
The integrated handles are most apparent in this otherwise minimal design. The white Carrara marble counters, the stainless steel hood, and the subtle brass faucet add a variety of materials to the setting, while the subtle artwork adds a lovely yet minimal pop of color.
Off-white cabinets with granite counters and a rounded island for a warm atmosphere

Minimal white cabinets with integrated handles, a calacatta marble backsplash, and chrome pendant lamps
The minimal white kitchen cabinets with integrated handles combined with the marble surfaces in between the lower and upper cabinets of this kitchen give the room a seamless look.
The wood dining table combined with the J39 chairs matches the warm tones of the wood floor, while the chrome Artek bell lamps add a beautiful metallic touch to the white kitchen cabinets.
A cream white kitchen with curved cabinets and impressive marble surfaces
The cream-white cabinets in this impressive kitchen design have a minimal look, yet the impressive marble countertops and backsplash add a lot of character to the kitchen design. The tall white cabinets by the wall next to the dining table have a curved side, which gives both the interior design and the kitchen a soft organic look.
White Ikea cabinets with brass details and a subway tile backsplash
White kitchen cabinets come in a wide price range and the white Ikea Veddinge kitchen cabinets applied to this kitchen are one of the most affordable options out there. In this kitchen, the basic cabinets are enhanced with a brass faucet and brass cabinet pulls, and backsplash tile.
These all-white kitchen cabinets, walls, and open shelving create a very minimalistic kitchen look that highlights the textural material qualities in the wood accents, concrete floor, and stainless steel faucet.

A cream-white shaker kitchen with chrome cabinet handles and oak inlays
The warm tone of the cream-white kitchen cabinets in this shaker kitchen has been accentuated by the oak inlays in the open kitchen components and behind the glass cabinet doors. These wood tones are matched by the different wood species on the dining table and the dining chairs and the shaker kitchen has been finished off with chrome details and a limestone countertop.
Minimal white kitchen with white marble tiles and a stainless steel exhaust
The most impressive element in this minimal white kitchen is the beautiful grain in the white marble backsplash that goes high up towards where the stainless steel hood ends.

White cabinets with a shiplap backsplash and black granite countertops
The white kitchen cabinets in shaker style have been combined with a shiplap backsplash and black countertops for a contrasting setting that has been enhanced with a stainless steel fridge and classy open shelving in between the upper cabinets.
