So, the black kitchen suddenly becomes very interesting! However, black is a delicate color to handle. If you opt for total black in this room, you will create a specific mood that may not be ideal for your digestion. In this case it would be better to install a lot of lighting, in different corners, not to sink too much into the dramatic side of the black kitchen.
