Both totally timeless and utterly of the moment, black-and-white kitchens combine two distinct looks to a great effect. Monochromatic black kitchens are dark and dramatic, while all-white kitchens feel light and airy; today, homeowners are choosing to combine the two aesthetics for visual interest and a touch of glam—think black-and-white floor tiles; black-and-white kitchen cabinets; and crisp, white kitchens offset by black countertops.
