Question

Are white cabinets and a black counter top with black appliances still in style?

Answer 1

It is more common to see white cabinet, black countertop, and stainless appliances.  I did a search of the galleries of several major cabinetry manufacturers to see if anyone had images of the combo your asking about & I did not see any.  I am also a kitchen designer & I have not personally done that combo. I have, however, done quite a few kitchen with the white/black/stainless combo.  It is perhaps because that the black appliances might be too stark of a contract with the adjacent white cabinets.  The countertop works because it is on a horizontal plane.  The MOST important thing is how YOU feel about it.  I am a firm believer in doing what you like if you are going to be living with it for 10 yrs or more.  Diamond cabinets has a nice tool where you can choose cab, counter, floor, appliance, etc colors to see how they go together: http://www.diamondcabinets.com/starttodr...

I also included a link below to a picture of a white kitchen with black tops, but with stainless appliances.  Good Luck!

Answer 2

Black and white is a classic combination.  The main question is 'do you like it'.  I love it and would have a black and white kitchen if I were to build a new house.  Just remember to add some accent colors to highlight special features in your kitchen.
