The Perfect Complement

Long gone are the days of all-white kitchens. Dark cabinets are making a comeback and with them, dark appliances. Though they are beautiful, stainless steel appliances tend to create an unsightly and choppy look when used alongside dark stained or painted cabinets. This stunning deep teal kitchen sidesteps that problem and creates a cohesive, streamlined design using a glossy, black double-oven and matching black refrigerator.

Seamless Style

An inky oven is built into the black countertops and dark backsplash to create a seamless, sleek design free from visual clutter. The hidden appliance maintains the clean lines in the design, and allows the focus to remain on the high-style elements at play in the space.
