Trends in interior design come and go at lightning speed. Colours fade, shapes change, and materials evolve. However, some trends endure and become established. One such trend is the black kitchen, which has become popular in the world of interior design and styling. But what kind of floor is best suited to a black kitchen?
The Heart in the Home
Whether it’s quickly grabbing a snack in between meals, having an atmospheric candlelit dinner, or toasting together with a glass of wine, the kitchen is the place in the house where everyone comes together and it’s the heart of your home. Have you fallen in love with the charm of a matte black kitchen? Thanks to the serene style of a dark kitchen, you can go either way with this base!
Wrap it up!
Are you familiar with “wrapping” yet? By wrapping your kitchen in black foil, you can create a new and affordable style in your home. This is a great way to give your old kitchen a fresh look.
Which floor suits a black kitchen?
The dark base of your kitchen allows for versatility in choosing a new floor. For a black kitchen, a Herringbone floor would be ideal. The tough look of a black kitchen pair perfectly with a patterned floor. If you have a kitchen island or peninsula, the herringbone pattern complements the jet-black trend perfectly.
If you’re looking for the classic herringbone style for your flooring, but prefer a slightly more subtle look, consider a Whalebone Vinyl floor. With larger planks than traditional herringbone floors, the total floor area will have fewer seams. For more information on the differences between Whalebone and Herringbone floors, watch the video.
Black & Untreated Oak
You may have noticed the trend of pairing a light floor with a matte black kitchen. A dark, trendy kitchen is often combined with a Light Oak or Untreated Oak floor. When the natural tones mix with the black of the kitchen, an intimate atmosphere develops in the home. Additionally, the floor’s colour adds warmth to the characteristic dark colour of the kitchen, resulting in a sleek, fashionable, and powerful whole!
It’s not often heard of, but combining a black kitchen with a trendy floor can be done! If you’re not a fan of herringbone, consider using an extra-wide Laminate to create an optical effect in your home. To accentuate the black in your interior, choose a light oak floor. Brighten up your home with flowers, some greenery, and wooden accessories, and complete the look with a black kitchen.
