Black Kitchen Cabinets Make a Statement

With over a decade of monochrome white and gray rooms dominating the kitchen and bath scene, it’s not a surprise that bold, black cabinets have taken center stage.

Black cabinets are showing up in mainstream kitchens, bathrooms, powder rooms, laundry rooms, mud rooms and offices. There’s not a single space in the home where the rich, deep, moody color isn’t being used to ground the space.

Black paint and black stained cabinets bring sophistication to a room and they allow beautiful hardware selections to shine.

Black also allows artistic wall treatments and backsplash tiles, and veined slabs to stand out. Black cabinets create a gallery frame effect for other visually interesting items in the room.

Burrows Cabinets offers a beautiful black paint called Breu shown in the buffet, island and Shaker vent hood photos above. It is a soft black which reflects light and pairs well with a wide variety of colors and finishes.

Black cabinets in the home office create a sophisticated atmosphere and a professional look and feel for in person and virtual meetings.

The high contrast of black cabinets to light colored walls, countertops and floors creates visual interest in a room and keeps the space from being monotone and uninteresting.
