Back in 2016, supercouple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt put their family home on the market and we managed to catch a glimpse of their beautiful kitchen design.  Again, their kitchen demonstrates how you can add just a touch of darkness to make an impact – the black marbled worktops look sophisticated and effortlessly chic juxtaposed with the pristine white cabinets. Dark shades also bring out metallic accents beautifully, as seen here with the brass handles and taps.

The floor-to-ceiling windows and full-length skylight add copious amounts of natural light – a key thing to consider when choosing your colour scheme is the type of lighting you’ll have in your own space.

Rylan Clark-Neal exhibits that dark kitchen aesthetic, partnering with experienced interior designers to make his dream kitchen a reality.

If you dare to be bold, dark cabinetry is the way to go. With floor-to-ceiling units and a handle-less design, Rylan’s kitchen is the epitome of contemporary-cool and makes a real style statement. Play with contrasting textures in your design - from glossy flooring and worktops to matte-finished cabinets - to elevate the sense of space and depth.
