4 Color Palettes That Pair Perfectly with Black Kitchen Appliances

If you haven’t heard by now, sage green is Pinterest’s most-searched color for 2018 and for good reason. It blends with virtually any decor style and is an instant mood lifter. The earthy color pairs perfectly with matte black appliances and will make your guests feel cozy and immediately at home, which is great if you entertain often. To brighten everything up, add a touch of cream and distressed wood accents throughout.

So you want to dabble in a new trend, but you don’t exactly want to be over it in three months (ahem, concealed kitchens)? Opt for a color that’s currently in style but also timeless: navy blue. Paint a central piece of the room navy (like an island or the lower cabinets) but keep the majority of the kitchen white. Natural wood stools and black slate appliances will lend a modern touch to the nautical look of navy and white.

Red cabinetry will give the space a ton of energy. And since red is a color that’s known to stimulate appetite, it’s an ideal hue to feature in a kitchen. The matte black of your appliances, in addition to neutral gray accessories (like dish towels and plates), will temper the bold color.

To complement your modern black slate appliances, use au naturel textures in the form of light and dark wood grains, in addition to concrete-like stonework. Think plank flooring, rustic cabinetry and crown molding. A copper skillet here and a copper teapot there will tie everything together and give your kitchen that next-level industrial vibe.
