Interior spaces, especially kitchens that feature black and white are impossible to ignore. They are versatile, bold and they stand out. Most importantly, they enable you to incorporate interesting architectural elements and fixtures. You can also consider using dark and bold cabinets, and white countertops, balanced with a more neutral backsplash or stone island. There is such a massive range of texture and decor options that encompass this colour palette and that you can choose from. In addition, there is such a huge array of furniture and lighting that you can also consider.
