This success is due to its timeless appeal and chic, modern effect. Find out how to accentuate your kitchen with black and wood here. ## **Black with wooden kitchens** How do you give them a cosy and modern look? Want a black wooden kitchen that is also warm and modern? Nothing is unachievable with the right decorating tips: - **Bring a touch of white** into your kitchen with paint as a backdrop or a splash wall of rectangular white metro tiles such as the [Snow White Glossy Finish wall panels](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/walls/kitchen-wall?page=1#kitchen-wall-snow-white-subway-glossy-finish-20-x-10) from BerryAlloc's [Kitchen Wall range](https://www.berryalloc.com/be/nl/walls/kitchen-wall).\* White goes well with black and wood because it creates a nice contrast and adds light. If you don't really like pure white, a variation such as warm white or ecru is also beautiful in combination with black and wood. - **Warm woods** such as oak, beech or walnut give your kitchen a natural and cosy look. It is best to choose a durable and low-maintenance floor such as a [high pressure floor](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/high-pressure-floors) or, for example, [laminate flooring Ocean 8 XL in Gyant XL Warm Brown](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/laminate/oceanplus/ocean-8-xl?page=1#ocean-8-xl-gyant-xl-warm-brown), which is also 100% water-resistant. - **Add stylish touches to the kitchen with white marble** as a splashback, worktop, or kitchen island. Create a classy and modern atmosphere with **brass handles**, taps and kitchen accessories such as a drainer, cutlery or other kitchen utensils. - Opt for a **matt finish** on your black furniture for an **elegant, modern kitchen**. A **lacquered finish** is the best choice for a **sleek designer look**. \*Please note: BerryAlloc wall panels are not available everywhere in Belgium. - [![Kitchen wall - snow white glossy finish 10x10](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/snow%20white%20glossy%20finish%2010x10_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_02%20(1)-1.jpg?width=1414&height=2000&name=snow%20white%20glossy%20finish%2010x10_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_02%20(1)-1.jpg) Kitchen wall - snow white glossy finish 10x10](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/walls/kitchen-wall?page=1#kitchen-wall-snow-white-glossy-finish-10-x-10-) - [![Kitchen wall - snow white glossy finish subway 20x10](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/snow%20white%20glossy%20finish%20subway%2020x10_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_01.jpg?width=1457&height=2000&name=snow%20white%20glossy%20finish%20subway%2020x10_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_01.jpg) Kitchen wall - snow white glossy finish subway 20x10](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/walls/kitchen-wall?page=1#kitchen-wall-snow-white-subway-glossy-finish-20-x-10)   ## **Dark or light wood with a black kitchen?** Opted for a black kitchen, but not sure what shade of wood goes with it? Light or dark? Both are possible, depending on the effect you want to create. Dark-coloured wood creates warmth and cosiness in a large kitchen or one that opens onto the living room. Is your kitchen space small? Then opt for light wood, which will make your kitchen brighter and give a feeling of more space. ![Vinyl - columbian oak 663d](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BerryAlloc/Myfloorstyle/columbian%20oak%20663d_lvt_1326x204_berryalloc_rsh_07.jpg?width=432&height=648&name=columbian%20oak%20663d_lvt_1326x204_berryalloc_rsh_07.jpg) - **Raw light wood with matt black furniture** creates a very contemporary look. And don't forget to incorporate LED lighting in the ceiling or under the kitchen cabinets! - **Medium-light wood with black lacquered furniture** and a sleek finish fit perfectly into a designer kitchen. Kitchen appliances in stainless steel or chrome add real value. - **Mixing wood tones with matt black** is also an excellent idea for an industrial style. The combination can be refined with a glass partition, a brick wall, a metal pendant lamp and weathered leather bar chairs. - **Dark patinated wood and charming black furniture** will give your kitchen a chic country look. Go full-on and use a solid dark wood table with a trunk-shaped top, furniture with a raw elegance and a black slate splashback. - [![Laminaat - Ocean 8 - Jazz xl sand natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jazz%20xl%20sand%20natural_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_1.jpg?width=1334&height=2000&name=jazz%20xl%20sand%20natural_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_1.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Jazz xl sand natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/search?q=jazz+xl+sand+natural&page=1#connect-8-xl-jazz-xl-sand-natural) - [![Laminaat - Ocean 8 - Jazz xl sand natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jazz%20xl%20sand%20natural_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_2.jpg?width=1334&height=2000&name=jazz%20xl%20sand%20natural_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_2.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Jazz xl sand natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/search?q=jazz+xl+sand+natural&page=1#connect-8-xl-jazz-xl-sand-natural) ## **Wood-coloured kitchen with black accents** Also very successful are kitchens where the kitchen cabinets are in wood colour, combined with a black worktop for example and/or a [black kitchen wall.](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/walls/kitchen-wall?__hstc=212388875.2cedad4671d50332e2f34058fbdf29e6.1730360445314.1730360445314.1730360445314.1&__hssc=212388875.1.1730360445314&__hsfp=138957612) These give an instant mood effect and are easy to install yourself, so are ideal for both new kitchens and renovations. Black tables, chairs and lighting are also easy ways to set the mood. - [![Kitchen wall - Black velvet satin finish 10x30](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/black%20velvet%20satin%20finish%2010x30_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_01-2.jpg?width=2000&height=1859&name=black%20velvet%20satin%20finish%2010x30_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_01-2.jpg) Kitchen wall - Black velvet satin finish 10x30](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/walls/kitchen-wall/black-velvet-satin-finish-10-x-30) - [![Kitchen wall - Sandstone satin finish subway 20x10](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sandstone%20satin%20finish%20subway%2020x10_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_01-1.jpg?width=2000&height=2000&name=sandstone%20satin%20finish%20subway%2020x10_wal_1200x600_berryalloc_rsh_01-1.jpg) Kitchen wall - Sandstone satin finish subway 20x10](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/walls/kitchen-wall/sandstone-subway-satin-finish-20-x-10) ## **Black floor in wood-coloured kitchen** Not everyone may venture in, but a dark or black floor, like [Ocean 8 V4 Charme Black](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/laminate/oceanplus/ocean-8-v4?page=1&__hstc=212388875.f97efbd4826afbe00fe9e8201fca48b0.1730360553345.1730360553345.1730360553345.1&__hssc=212388875.1.1730360553345&__hsfp=138957612#ocean-8-v4-charme-black), can make a powerful statement in your kitchen. You are then in the right place for a look that is both modern and rustic. Black is easy to combine with other colours, creates a warm atmosphere and highlights pale furniture and walls or a colourful rug. If your space is limited, go for a pale floor. Do you like things looking spotless? Then a black floor is not your best match: you will see dust and stains on it. Whatever your choice, be sure to pick a floor that can take a beating, such as waterproof laminate that looks like real wood. - [![High pressure floor - Original - Black stone 20x40](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/black%20stone_hpf_tiles_1207x198_berryalloc_dsh.jpg?width=2000&height=2000&name=black%20stone_hpf_tiles_1207x198_berryalloc_dsh.jpg) High pressure floor - Original - Black stone 20x40](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/high-pressure-floors/original?page=2#original-blackstone-20x40-04564) - [![Laminaat - Chateau - Charme black](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/charme%20black_lam_v4_504x84_berryalloc_psh.jpg?width=2000&height=1160&name=charme%20black_lam_v4_504x84_berryalloc_psh.jpg) Laminate - Chateau+ - Charme black](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/laminate/chateau/chateau?page=1#chateau-charme-black) - [![Vinylplanken - Spirit - French black](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/french%20black_lvt_1210x176_berryalloc_dsh.jpg?width=1352&height=1471&name=french%20black_lvt_1210x176_berryalloc_dsh.jpg) Vinyl planks - Spirit - French black](https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/vinyl-planks/spirit/spirit-home-click-comfort-40-planks?page=1#spirit-home-click-comfort-40-planks-french-black)   Which flooring is most suitable in your kitchen or bathroom?  [Discover the advantages of water-resistant floors](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/choose-my-floor/best-flooring-bathroom-kitchen-flooring?hsLang=en) Share: [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20How%20do%20you%20use%20black%20and%20wood%20in%20the%20kitchen%20for%20a%20warm,%20trendy%20look?%20&body=Check%20out%20https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/en/interior-colour/black-and-wooden-kitchens](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20How%20do%20you%20use%20black%20and%20wood%20in%20the%20kitchen%20for%20a%20warm,%20trendy%20look?%20&body=Check%20out%20https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/en/interior-colour/black-and-wooden-kitchens) [previous](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/interor-coulour/living-room-with-dark-flooring?hsLang=en) [![icon](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hubfs/overview.png) overview](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com) [following](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/en/interieur-en-kleur/pantone-colour-of-the-year-2025?hsLang=en) ## Read these next!
