High contrast black and white kitchens are a hot trend right now but they can be a little cold. In this kitchen, we’ve paired black cabinetry with white cabinetry and opted for a statement making custom range hood and wood floors to add warmth to the space. Gold hardware adds additional warmth and plays off the glamour brought in by the shimmering mosaic tile. - Gillian & Co, www.gillianco.com This kitchen was designed as the hub of the home where a busy family of five could congregate with friends and family members around the large, backlit onyx island. This contemporary kitchen represents a mix of modern materials including an oak island, white cabinets, an island with waterfall sides, natural stone countertops and stainless steel feature cabinets. - Teresa Cain, www.interiorsolutionsdesigngroup.com; Photo by Barry Calhoun Photography, www.barrycalhoun.com We love the look of light countertops paired with contrasting dark or woodgrain cabinets. This custom kitchen features Polar Ice fine grain recycled glass countertops with a thinner edge profile. The same material is used as a slab backsplash which adds modern appeal to the space. This nonporous, stain and scratch-resistant and low-maintenance countertop is a great choice for any kitchen. - Granite Transformations, www. granitetransformations.com
