There seem to be many a trend when it comes to kitchens at the moment. We have already taken a look at brass and copper trends, now I wanted to take a quick look at the black trends which have been sweeping through the design world over the last year. Its a pretty punchy look and lends itself to the industrial look. When its done right it creates a very modern and edgy look with clean lines. To me it is very masculine although I'm sure others will argue that it is perfect for families too. Whats your view, is black something to aspire to in your kitchen or do you prefer to cook in a bright and more cheery space?
