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.

The appliances have been fitted in on either side of the kitchen, leaving the middle element clean and elegant with only the sink and stovetop cut out of the black countertops.

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.

The contrast between the white cabinets and black countertops provides a perfect monochrome basis for the green subway tile backsplash combined with the light blue walls and the brass peg rail above the counter.

The black countertop matches so nicely with the different colors in the materials and the white porcelain sink gives the space a subtle farmhouse kitchen look.

Minimal white shaker cabinets with black granite countertops and chrome hardware

The minimal white shaker cabinets in this kitchen are planned perfectly in the room, with a niche space above the stove with a subtle grey tile backsplash with a farmhouse touch. The white cabinets are enhanced with black granite countertops and the chrome hardware adds elegant detailing.

The L-shaped layout of the white shaker cabinets is planned around the window with lower cabinets only, however, on the opposite side of the kitchen you can find tall cupboards that make up for any lost storage space.

via Kvänum

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 glossy white tiles on the kitchen backsplash leave the room feeling bright and elegant, while the dark wall color in the rest of the space enhances the contrast of the black countertop.

On the other side of the space, the vintage white dining table stands out against the contrasting dark wall. The antique painting and the classic wall lamp tie the design of this kitchen together in a lovely way.

Work with a White Brick Backsplash to bring Merge Contrast with a Rustic Touch

The neutral color palette in this small kitchen complements the rustic effect the white-painted brick backsplash adds to the space. The dark countertops and black appliances stand out powerfully in this kitchen with white cabinets.

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.

Black cabinets on top and bottom

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.

via Sjöman Frisk

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 kitchen with black cabinets

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 loft-style kitchen with dark cabinets

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.

via Historiska Hem

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.

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.

My top 26 favorite white kitchen cabinet ideas

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

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.

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.

The elegant white cabinets in this shaker-style kitchen are the lightest element in the space, along with the white Gubi semi pendant and the white dining table by the window.

The combination of the white kitchen cabinets with the chrome hardware and natural stone countertop works well with light grey walls and the wood tones in the open shelving while the Fredericia J39 chairs add a natural touch to the color palette.
