Black Gloss Kitchens

Black Gloss Finish

If you’re thinking of getting rid of your old, worn out kitchen, or if you fancy sprucing up the space you’ve got, then a black gloss kitchen will do the trick.

When considering a new kitchen, black is often overlooked, as people fear it will make their kitchen seem dark and dank. However, with a high gloss finish, your kitchen will seem anything but dark.

The subtle shine adds depth and unexpected warmth to any room, making it an inviting surrounding for dinner parties and entertaining.

Having a black gloss kitchen instantly updates and modernizes any space, but in order to avoid the dreaded dinginess that concerns most people, it is important to keep floors, walls and ceilings in light, bright, neutral shades.

If your kitchen is on the smaller side but you still fancy the intriguing lustre of black gloss fittings, then you should consider having a lighter worktop, similar to the neutral wooden one available from My Beautiful Kitchen.

The sophisticated statement of a black gloss kitchen requires some well thought out fittings and accessories to make the most of it.

Stainless steel works particularly well to reflect depth in the gloss and contrast nicely against the deep black. The sleek, modern style of your new kitchen needs to be matched in your choice of kitchen accessories and appliances to ensure the look is not lost.

Stainless steel taps and sinks should be complemented with monochrome toasters, microwaves and other kitchen accessories to complete the look.

If you fancy a splash of colour in your appliances, a bright red kettle can enliven a dull corner. In terms of larger appliances such as ovens, stoves and dishwashers, Hotpoint offer a fantastic variety in design and colour to suit any black gloss kitchen.

A Hotpoint stainless steel oven is sure to impress as it shines in its black gloss surroundings.

This type of kitchen works particularly well in rooms with plenty of natural light, which allows the black gloss of the kitchen units to be illuminated.

Unless your kitchen is well lit, you may find it difficult to have this style work for you. In this case, you could consider just having one or two units with a black gloss finish and leave the rest of your kitchen with more neutral tones. This will allow the black gloss to stand out without taking over your limited space.

Curved worktops and splashes of colour (such as a tiled mosaic on the wall above the stove) are an excellent way to soften the sharpness of all black kitchen units and bring your kitchen to life. Rather than huge slabs of granite, instead envision your kitchen with the sleek, soft shapes and gleaming surfaces that a black gloss kitchen has to offer. It will bring an immediate level of sophistication and elegance to your surroundings, with an ageless, yet modern twist.
