What Are the Benefits of Black Kitchen Appliances?

Designing a new kitchen and planning all of the new appliances can be an arduous process, purely because of the many practicalities that need to be considered. Obviously, you want it to be as eye-catching as it is practical, but it can be limited by how it will hold up in different lighting, cooking conditions and cleaning tasks. As well as it runs the risk of appearing dated later down the line.

At Cookology, we’ve helped many customers who are unsure how to make their kitchen look more modern and state-of-the-art without buying something that will quickly become outdated. Every time, we have the same answer: Try out our kitchen appliances in classic black. From our under-counter fridge range in a sleek black, a simple yet stunning black glass hob or even a bold range of black sink and tap sets, there is a dark kitchen appliance range that you and your family are bound to adore.

It’s one of the most popular colour motifs around, and with the number of benefits it can bring to a kitchen space, it’s plain to see why. We’ve compiled a list of the benefits that a black kitchen design can bring to your home, both practically and aesthetically.

Sophisticated Aesthetic

When it comes to presenting a kitchen as a sophisticated space with a hint of suspense, black cannot be matched. Give your black room plenty of light, and it will return with a dramatic look that will wow guests and, more importantly, you every morning when you wake up and prepare breakfast. Even having certain appliances such as an under-counter fridge in black or a black integrated microwave will create a feeling of luxury in your cooking space.

A Sense of Intimacy

As well as a strong, authoritative look, black kitchens also hold a sense of intimacy. If you’re someone who likes to feel as though they are snuggled into their home, black can create that for you. For example, a black gas hob with an accompanying black cooker hood (our 100cm black cooker hood for example) feels like a modern yet cosy cooking space compared to a brighter, all-white design that is commonly found in kitchens.

Stains Are Hidden

Aside from the aesthetic, using black does have practical benefits when it comes to appearance. As anyone who has had light countertops will know, stains and scratches can be more evident on a light colour, but black masks and hides those little imperfections so much better.

If you have a family household with children or lots of people, you’ll likely be considering how much the wear and tear will show in a few years on your new kitchen design. Black countertops, hobs and other installations are all worlds apart from any other colour when it comes to hiding, scars and general wear and tear.

Excellent Colour Contrast

Black is the deepest colour you can get, and its rudimentary look means that it can match almost any colour and bring out a contrast that completely transforms the mood of your room. Using a black sink and tap set and a sleek black gas hob in an all-white kitchen can draw attention to your room, they play the role of a bold accent in an otherwise bright area. Or perhaps use black kitchen countertops with a more eccentric colour such as orange to balance it out and create a moody yet colourful setting.

That’s the magic of black – it brings levity to any room, a baseline for you to either expand upon or contrast with. No matter how wild you go, there’s a good chance that the black elements will make it look superb.

Timeless Style

Styles come and go, but perhaps the most important benefit of using black kitchen appliances and sink and tap sets is that they never go out of style. You’re going to be immersed in your kitchen’s aesthetic for years to come, so you don’t want to have a design that is based on the fleeting trends that were popular when you bought it. Eccentric colours may seem great at the time, but with black comes longevity. It’s one of the most fundamental colours used in interior design, and its simple elegance makes a case as to why. No matter the material you use or the style you’re going for, using black kitchen appliances can add refinement and prestige to your kitchen.
