Kitchens with dark cabinets and dark floors

Welcome to our gallery featuring 52 dark kitchens with dark wood or black cabinets.

There’s something about dark stained wood that absolutely screams luxury.

Maybe it’s a subconscious association with bygone eras of construction, like the fascinating turn of the century lumber baron homes now residing as museums in my hometown.

A hundred years ago, cherry and mahogany and the like were clear markers of wealth and taste; the leaders of industry and society constructed homes absolutely laden with the materials.

These days dark cabinets come in all types of wood, materials and tones. In fact, black kitchen cabinets are popular… but not as popular as deep, rich dark wood kitchen cabinets.

Carved, painted, inlaid with gold, or minimalistic flat panels are some of the varieties of dark wood style cabinetry you’ll see in this collection.

Look out for bright metallic hardware, contrasting marble countertops, and intricate tile backsplashes punctuating the rich expanses of wood in these kitchen.

Pay attention to the spectrum of colors, from stained natural tones through cherry and nearly black wood cupboards, paneling, islands, and more.

Some match their surroundings, with exposed beams or fireplace surrounds, while others become standout features in otherwise light toned spaces.

Each of these examples luxuriates in the atmosphere provided by immaculate dark wood designs.
