During a kitchen remodel, the tones and style you select for your kitchen will usually be reflected throughout the rest of your house.

As such, it’s very important to choose an interior design that will leave your guests speechless once they see the new kitchen remodel. In order to achieve this, most people often prefer a modern kitchen design with bright white cabinetry. White is both a classic and contemporary design choice, so it typically complements your homes décor. However, if you’re looking for a classier option that will make your kitchen pop with a perfect matt finish, and with darker more elegant decor, you should consider installing dark kitchen cabinets.

Dark colours have the ability to create a sleek environment that reflects sophistication and style. Here are a few of the key benefits you will experience, when you turn over to the dark side of selection for your kitchen remodel.

1.Brighter lighting and Contrast

If you’re looking to add more vivid contrast to your interior decor that will liven up your kitchen, darker cabinets are the perfect choice. Dark colours allow you to maximise on the light that floods into your kitchen, creating a gorgeous natural ambiance. When you enter your kitchen early in the morning, the gentle shimmer of bright light that floods in from your windows will highlight your darkened cabinet, creating a beautiful and dynamic environment. The refined aesthetic that is created in this case will certainly be a conversation starter.

2.Elegance and Sophistication

The most elegant interior designs are created when bright colours merge with darker tones. As such, dark kitchen cabinets allow you to create a more sophisticated environment. With white tiled walls and glossy marble, or freshly polished wooden floors, dark cabinetry creates that much needed contrast that allows all of the details to pop. In addition, when you install dark kitchen cabinetry on a white modern backdrop, the variance in colour is an effective way to hide wear and tear. Due to the darker tones, chips and scratches will become harder to see which will benefit you in the long term. This will allow you spend many more years within your house without you having to worry about another kitchen remodel or routine interior maintenance.

3.Complementing Appliances

These days, the best kitchen appliances are furnished in darker finishes. Samsung’s premier refrigerators, as well as LG’s latest microwaves, come in silver colours that may not blend in well with classic white cabinets. This is usually the case for most of the world’s leading brands in kitchen appliances. However, darker cabinets pair together effortlessly with these stainless steel silver appliances. In addition, if you decide to buy white appliance, the contrast between dark and light tones will also work in your favour.
