The easiest way to make the hues feel fresh if you're getting sick of them is to swap in new lighting, hardware, and accent colors. The best part about modern black and white kitchens is they'll never go out of style. For a more subtle approach, stick to the greyscale throughout the space and let your architecture do the talking. Opt for open shelving or skylights to ensure dark paint doesn't make a small black and white kitchen feel cave-like, and use high-gloss paint and gold accents for a more glamorous take on the color palette. Black and white kitchens, however, can easily feel drab or dated if not accessorized and designed correctly. And for good reason: The pairing is both timeless and versatile, seamlessly jumping from minimalist to maximalist without skipping a beat.

Despite the uptick in colorful kitchen cabinets and avant garde tile backsplashes, classic black and white kitchens still reign supreme among the top trends in kitchen design.
