Coordinating Finishes With Black Kitchen Cabinets
Black kitchen cabinets have become an increasingly popular trend over the last few years. It can be a very sleek and sophisticated look, but only if you do it right. Too many people decide they want black kitchen cabinets with no plan on how to coordinate finishes so the kitchen does not become too dark. However, with some simple finish choices, you can keep your black cabinet from overwhelming your space without it seeming too cookie cutter.
Hardware: Contrast the Cabinets
When you are working with black kitchen cabinets, avoid choosing black hardware as it will only blend in. Instead, choose a hardware finish that will stand out from the cabinets and complement them. Brushed nickel, copper and even brass can look beautiful next to sleek black cabinets. Simply choose the hardware finish that best fits your personality and the kitchen style you are going for.
Lighting: Choose What to Match
When it comes to lighting in a kitchen with black cabinets you have two choices of what to match: the cabinets or the hardware. When you want the lighting to feel subtle, it is best to choose a black finish so it blends in with cabinets. If you would prefer your lighting to make more of a statement, choose light fixtures in the same finish as your hardware. This will allow them to standout by contrasting the cabinetry while still feeling part of the design because it is a color that will be repeated.
Counters: Keep them Light
Black kitchen cabinets can be very overpowering in a room if you do not balance them with lighter finishes elsewhere. That is why when you are choosing kitchen counters, it is best to keep them light. That does not necessarily mean you have to go with white or tan unless you want to. Other color options can be light blue, green or even a stainless steel depending on the look you are going for. So long as the counters do not further darken the room and you like the way it looks, it is a good choice.
Flooring: Don’t Go Dark
Whatever you do when you are choosing flooring, do not go dark. Like countertops, the flooring needs to be used to lighten up the room. Stick with colors that are significantly lighter than the cabinetry and preferably stay neutral so you do not take away from the drama of the black cabinets. As for the material, you can use ceramic, granite or even wood can be beautiful with black cabinets.
Appliances: Stainless Steel
Your final finish to choose with your black kitchen cabinets is your appliance color. If your budget can afford it, stainless steel appliances are stunning with black kitchen cabinets and almost any other colors you have to go with them. If you cannot afford stainless steel, cover a less expensive finished appliance with a peel-and-stick stainless steel film that costs around a roll. The end look will be the same but for significantly less.
So when you are remodeling your kitchen with black kitchen cabinets, there is no reason to fear it looking too dark if you follow these steps. Just remember to add accessories to your kitchen that will put your personal touch on it. The end result should be a sleek design that is as unique as you are but still visually pleasing to those you entertain.

Article by Tammy Crosby
Cabinets are the key ingredient in any kitchen. They will influence the look and feel of the heart of your home more than anything else because it’s not only the most visible part of the kitchen, but the “Meeting Place” of every home. Picking the right cabinetry is essential in creating your kitchen’s personality, but don’t let appearances mislead you. It’s what’s behind the door that will matter the most, every time you open your cabinet drawer or door.
Since cabinets represent the single largest investment in a new kitchen (about 60 to 70 percent of a kitchen’s cost), you should carefully explore all your options to avoid confusion and potentially costly mistakes. Here’s a little Cabinetry 101 to help you get started choosing the right products for your cabinet design.
Stock, Semi-Custom and Custom CabinetsWhen you think stock, semi-custom and custom, don’t think of these choices in terms of the level of quality, because fine cabinetry is available with all three – as is poor quality. These terms simply designate the type of production method used to make the cabinet. Simply put, stock cabinets are mass-produced, semi-custom are stock cabinets that can be slightly altered and custom cabinets are built to order to meet individual needs and specifications. All three varieties are available in framed (a box with a frame surrounding the front edge) and frameless (a box with no face frame) construction. The cost of having your kitchen cabinets can start around ,000 to ,000 for stock and ,000 to ,000 for custom. With the amount of styles, materials, brand names, accessories and hardware out there, the price can quickly escalate.
Stock CabinetsThese are the plentiful cabinets, because they’re produced in large quantities on a mass production scale. Cabinet manufacturers, dealers and home improvement centers stock pile large quantities of cabinet parts so cabinets can be assembled quickly. Not wanting to miss out on a piece of the pie, stock cabinet manufacturers have greatly improved and expanded its product line to include a nice bounty of sizes, shapes, styles, wood species and finishes. The drawback to using stock cabinets is that you can’t make any modifications, so what you see is what you get. You may also find you come up a little short in width and height (filler strips are used to fill the gaps). Stock cabinets still remain the most popular choice because they’re affordable and readily available.
Semi-Custom CabinetsSemi-custom cabinets are a stock line of cabinets where simple modifications will be made at the time of production. Semi-custom also offers you more choices when it comes to style, construction materials and colors. You can be a little more creative when going semi-custom by choosing some unique built-ins like pullout bins, lazy susans, matching interiors and inverted frames. Be sure to ask the manufacturer if this option is available. Be thorough with semi-custom because changes can be very expensive and increase delivery time (which is already a month or more) and they may not be returnable if they don’t fit.
Custom CabinetsDon’t be fooled by the word custom or think that you will be able to draw a design and have it made to your specifications, because that is hard to find (and very, very costly). In the real world of manufactured cabinetry, custom can mean anything from slight modifications to elaborate add-ons. Most manufacturers start out with a basic product line offering cabinets in standard sizes and customize from there. The big difference between a semi-custom and a custom manufacturer is the number of changes they are willing to make to their product lines. Most manufacturers offer a large selection of finish options, trims and storage configurations and accessories. Be patient if you go custom because it can take 12 weeks or longer before your cabinets are delivered and in many cases payment in full is required when the order is placed.
Cabinet Doors
You should enter the cabinet selection process through the doors. Their style, color, and decoration will contribute most to your cabinets’ overall look. Be sure that your countertops, flooring, and other design elements complement the cabinets you choose. The first thing you need to decide is the material you want to use and how you want to finish it off.
WoodWood doors remain the preferred entree, not just because they’re so plentiful but because they’re durable, beautiful and versatile. The top woods are oak, maple, cherry, hickory and pine. If you’re having a hard time deciding what natural wood you prefer, ask yourself what kind of grain you like. If you prefer a hardwood with a tight grain and a strong pattern that darkens when exposed to light, you’ll want to go with cherry. Maple is a light hardwood with a tight grain and less noticeable pattern, while oak is a light hardwood with an open grain and striped pattern. For a more open grain with a strong pattern and random knots you can go for pine – just remember it’s a soft wood and shows dents and scratches easily. The odd wood out is hickory because it has very dramatic grain patterns and color variations.
Shaping The Door – Slab, Raised and Recessed PanelsWhen it comes to deciding the shape of your cabinet doors you can choose to go flat, raised or recessed in a pattern that can be plain and simple or intricately carved. Slab is a flat door style that gives the appearance of a solid piece of wood with no raised or recessed profile. They’re usually made out of several pieces of solid stock lumber and joined with an adhesive. If you opt for laminate slab you’ll get a door made of substrate material and then covered with laminate. The best way to understand the look of a recessed panel is to think of a picture frame with a flat panel. The frame can be attached to the panel by using a mitered joint, tenon and mortise joint (similar to tongue and groove) or cope and pattern joint. These panels are easy to decorate and popular when made with a groove. A raised panel is constructed in the same manner as a recessed panel except it’s given an edge by cutting it dimensionally and then routing or shaping the desired edge profile, like square, Cathedral or arched.
Finishing it offThanks to hi-tech finishing techniques used by cabinet manufacturers, cleaning your cabinets is no longer a major household chore.
By using polyurethane finishes, particularly those that are heat catalyzed, your cabinets should only require a good dusting or wiping. Think longevity, when you choose your finish, because a clear finish will show the natural changes in wood over time, while staining the wood in its natural color will lock that shade in forever.
Behind The Doors
Know All Your Panels – Side, Back, Top and BottomNow that you’ve satisfied your taste – aesthetically speaking – it’s time to get practical and learn about what’s behind the doors. After all, a cabinet is just a box…and the quality of the cabinet lies in the construction of the box, not the door. As a rule, when it comes to cabinetry – you get what you pay for. High-end cabinets are usually always high quality and low cost cabinets are just that – poor quality. The majority of cabinet manufacturers offer several different levels of prices based on quality. Don’t forget why you need cabinets in the first place – storage.
Your storage area is usually combined of a series of individual boxes, joined together side-by-side. Boxes that sit on the floor (base cabinets) are covered with a countertop, and may have all drawers, doors, shelves, pull-outs or a combination of these. Sink bases almost always have doors, but no shelves or drawers, leaving the interior space open for the sink and plumbing.
Boxes that hang on the wall, are called wall cabinets, and offer storage above countertops and appliances using shelves.
The panels (sides) that make up the box need to have enough strength and structural integrity to keep the box from falling apart. In the base cabinet, the side panels support the full weight of the cabinet on the floor in framed cabinets.
It may surprise you to learn that solid wood is rarely used for cabinet panels. This is because solid wood tends to warp over time when exposed to moisture. Engineered wood, particle board, furniture-grade flakeboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and plywood are more stable than solid wood, and are used in the majority of cabinets. To help make the panels more water-resistant and durable they’re usually treated with special chemicals. All of these material have an excellent reputation for durability and screw-holding power, especially plywood. So before you make you’re final decision, be sure to look at the quality of its panels – all of them.
It may not sound like a big deal now, but when you start washing dishes or preparing a meal you’ll want to know that your toekick board was installed properly. The toekick is a recessed area at the front of the cabinet near the floor that allows you to stand close to the counter. It also adds support to the cabinet floor and keeps unwanted critters out of your cabinets.
DrawersYour drawers will likely be made of solid wood or MDF, have framed or flat slab fronts and be held together by dovetail, mortise-and tenon or butt joints. Thing big, when you think about your drawers, because that’s usually the first place where storage space is never enough. A top drawer should be able to support at least 75 pounds.
Cabinet Hardware
Just when you think you’re done designing your cabinets, now you have to think about hardware. Hardware is available in every conceivable style and color, but you should pay close attention to the hinges, knobs, pulls and backplates, because these pieces can really make a statement in your kitchen.
HingesThe most important piece of hardware are your hinges, which come in several varieties like the self-closing, spring loaded barrel hinges, knife hinges and concealed hinges. Barrel hinges are fully exposed and provide a wide door opening. For a full 180 degree door opening you’ll want to use knife hinges. This hinge is usually screwed to the cabinet frame and partially embedded. Depending on the manufacturer the hinge may be either partially or fully visible when the door is closed. For a more European style where the hinge is hidden you’ll want to use concealed hinges. Most of them are self-closing but with a partial opening (110 degrees).
Drawer SuspensionsAs far as abuse and daily wear-and-tear goes, your drawers are always at center stage. What will matter most over time is the style of drawer slides, which include full extension, b all bearing, track-and-roller and wood.
* Full-extension slides attach to the bottom or the sides of the drawer and provide full access to the drawer interior. Their ball-bearing system adds stability and strength and are available in stronger versions to store heavier kitchen items.
* Ball-bearing slides attach to the bottom of the drawer sides and offer smooth, quiet operation. Their concealed runners mounted to the bottom of the drawer don’t get as dirty as those mounted on the side.
* Track-and-roller slides attach to the drawer sides. Their epoxy-coated steel tracks and nylon rollers offer quiet operation but are less stable than ball-bearing ones.
* Wooden slides work as slots in the drawer sides or bottoms and move the drawer along a wooden runner. This option is no longer very popular because the drawers tend to stick as the wood expands and contracts.
Decorative Hardware – Knobs or PullsNow that you have your cabinets designed to your liking, you need to think about what you want to use to open and protect your new drawers and doors. Do you want knobs or pulls or a combination of both? When it comes to choosing colors, materials and finishes the list is endless. You got brass, chrome, gold, silver, pewter, nickel, porcelain, marble, glass, wood – and that’s just a sampling. Once you pick the material, you’ll have to choose from a selection of finishes – polished, antique, aged, forged, carved, enamel and more. Stay focused and remember that you’re looking for function and comfort from your hardware – not an ulcer.
Knobs are handles (generally small in size), that are mounted to the drawers and doors with a single bolt or screw. Knobs are no longer limited to being round. They can be flat with rounded edges, round like a ball, square, “T” shaped, or even bun shaped and they come in a variety of finishes.
Most questions concerning knobs involve size, quantity or positioning. Look at knobs as being the eyes and nose of your cabinets – if placed improperly they can look out of place and take away from the rest of the kitchen. You’ll never go wrong if you keep your knob under a 1 1/2 inch diameter.
Pulls perform the same service as knobs, but tend to be larger or more elaborate, and can greatly alter the look of the cabinet. Pulls may be combined with a backplate or used alone and require two or more screws. They also come in many different styles, but the more common types are D handles, bail handles, ring handles, latch handles, and cup pulls.
Don’t Be Shy – Ask questions????
1. Look for the KCMA seal, which means the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association has approved the construction of the cabinets and the materials used to build them meet minimum industry standards. 2. Do you recognize the brand name and does it carry a Best Buy seal or other evidence of independent testing and approval? 3. Does the manufacturer offer the necessary parts and pieces necessary to achieve the style and design you’re looking for? 4. Will the cabinets be delivered by your deadline? 5. The manufacturer’s warranty can be a very valuable part of what you pay for when you make your cabinet purchase and can vary from one year to lifetime. Find a warranty that makes you comfortable about your investment.
Trendy Samplings
As cabinets continue to grow and change, consumers are left with a draw full of options and trends. Here’s some trends that you might want to sample. There’s a new process called glazing, where a contrasting color stain is laid on top of a base finish to give it a more prominent look. If you want to show-off some of your kitchen gadgets or special china you can have a glass door installed.
More than anything else, consumers crave the convenience of built-ins, which can range from “appliance garages” that hide aging appliances like toasters behind pull-down doors to tilt-out sink bay drawers to spice racks. The most popular built-in is for the least popular item in a kitchen – the trash can.

Cabinet Hardware – The Guide to Cleaning it Right
Keeping a positive atmosphere around the house is tough, especially in the winter, but there are so many little things you can do to pick up the mood in your home. Cleaning the windows so more light can shine in, hanging brightly colored curtains or tapestries, and buying fresh flowers for the table occasionally will create a pleasant ambiance that your family will appreciate.
Another winter blues cure is keeping things clean. I don’t mean the regular upkeep of your home, but rather, getting rid of some of that grime build up that is weighing down the appearance of a room. Kitchen cabinets and kitchen cabinet hardware are breeding grounds for dirt, and over time they can create quite a following. When the weather starts to get gloomy, take out the screwdriver, and spruce up your environment by washing up those cabinets and cabinet hardware. It will take just a few minutes and will make such a difference to your surroundings. Here’s how to do it right.
These are the easiest cabinet knobs, cabinet pulls and cabinet hinges to clean. Simply remove from your cabinetry, and soak them in a warm water and mild soap solution. A toothbrush is the best way to break down stubborn grime build up, so if you have an old one lying around, take it out now. Rinse each piece individually when finished, and polish dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use newspaper on your glass cabinet pulls and knobs for a real shine.
]]>
Wood cabinet knobs, pulls and hinges, on the other hand, cannot be soaked in your regular soapy water solution. This is because large amounts of water will destroy the cabinet hardware, making it warp, swell or become brittle. Instead, soak a rag in the solution, squeeze it out and then rub it onto your wood cabinet hardware. You can also spray the solution onto the rag and scrub the cabinet hinges, pulls or knobs this way. If the dirt is persistent, you can use a plastic scrub brush (only plastic because steel wool and other metal brushes or sponges will scratch the finish and hardware) or a toothbrush to work it off. Dry your kitchen cabinet hardware well, and use a wood polish if the finish has come off.
A living finish is when the manufacturers leave the cabinet hardware unfinished so that the natural oxidation process can occur. The results are beautiful and charming and wildly popular today. Because there is no special coating as mentioned above, these cabinet knobs and pulls need to be dealt with more carefully. In general, the mild soap and water solution is still fine for this type of kitchen cabinet hardware, but care should be used when washing and polishing not to scratch the surface or rub off the natural patina that is forming (this is what gives it that lovely color). Pewter in particular is extremely soft and vulnerable. Never use anything acidic on pewter cabinet hinges, pulls or knobs, and polish this cabinet hardware gently.
Use half of a lemon covered in salt to polish solid brass, bronze or copper.
Polish chrome or stainless steel cabinet hinges or other hardware with aluminum foil and water for an easy way to break down rust and bring out the original luster.
Keep all screws together in a bag so that none of these little items will get lost during the cleaning process. Also, remember to clean any screws that will be visible when remounted.
Paper towels are great for streak-free drying.
Do not put your kitchen cabinet hardware in the dishwasher, ever.
Whether it’s the winter woes or the summer slump, don’t get stuck in the rut. Pull yourself out with this easy and uplifting home improvement project. Clean your kitchen cabinet hardware today, and watch your home and your face shine.
