18 Gorgeous White Kitchens with Black Hardware
Even though more colorful kitchens (like green kitchens) are becoming more and more popular, the white kitchen trend isn’t going anywhere!
A kitchen with white cabinetry really lightens and brightens the space. And there’s simply nothing better than the contrast of black hardware on white kitchen cabinets.
In fact, most people agree because 90% of the white kitchens that I see have black hardware. The combination is popular for a reason!
Another combination that is becoming more and more popular is white cabinets with gold hardware, so I covered those ideas here!
If you’re looking to do a kitchen makeover with white kitchens and black hardware (or you just want to dream a little bit), prepare to be inspired today! These 18 kitchens are SO gorgeous!
Gorgeous White Kitchens with Black Hardware
Installing new hardware on kitchen cabinets is the quickest and easiest way to update the look of your kitchen.
Black hardware on white cabinets is a classic look that will never go out of style. We used Venetian Bronze for our cabinet hardware and they look completely different on our white island that they do with our other stained wood cabinets.
As you can see they look black against the white of the cabinet. Continue reading to learn everything you need to know about installing cabinet hardware for a quick and easy update.
The style of hardware you choose is key to getting the look you want for your kitchen. This farmhouse kitchen looks light and airy with a curated homey feel that features vintage-style cup pulls on the drawers and latches for the doors.
The latches for the cabinet doors and bin pulls on the drawers transport you back in time.
Black matte has been trending for a few years now and IMO is here to stay. The simple round knobs on the cabinet doors don't get in the way and the bin pulls on the drawers pair with them perfectly.
Cabinet hardware is a kitchen's jewelry and this look is just classic, like a fine strand of pearls. It looks great with that gorgeous farmhouse-style sink and butcher block countertops!
It's true what they say, black goes with everything. This white and wood two-toned kitchen are gorgeous and the black hardware looks great on both colors of cabinets.
The bin pulls are a different shape than we have seen before, longer and more modern. The black knobs are perfect on the cabinet doors, simple and unassuming.
Bin pulls (sometimes called cup pulls) seem to be a popular choice in this roundup of gorgeous white kitchens with black hardware. They are timeless and they don't get in the way.
They're easy to use and they look great with any style cabinet door pull you choose.
In this kitchen they are paired with bar pulls on the cabinet doors, a perfect choice for this black and white kitchen.
Cup pulls sit perfectly on just about any type of drawer style. They look great sitting centered inside the shaker style of the drawer fronts and the simple black knobs are situated on the shaker trim of the cabinet doors in this gorgeous white kitchen with black hardware.
Are you looking for industrial-style black hardware for your kitchen? Bar handles in black paired with white cabinets and black counters fit the bill!
Bar pulls can be attached vertically or horizontally which makes adding them to your drawers and cabinets super easy.
I love how the drawer pulls mimic the look of the handles on the stove and dishwasher in this kitchen.
Square knobs and square bar handles give a modern look to this gorgeous white kitchen with black hardware.
Going with square-shaped hardware will add instant modern style to your kitchen.
A matte black faucet and a hanging bar for cooking utensils complete the look for a cohesive finish.
This black and white kitchen has a classic look with the tile backsplash and black countertops. The look is finished off with black cabinet hardware.
This hardware has a hammered finish that brings a touch of texture to this smooth and shiny kitchen.
Do you have to use the same hardware on all the drawers? Absolutely not! A good rule of thumb is to think about scale when choosing your kitchen hardware.
If the drawer is big, use larger hardware and vice versa. The smaller drawers in this white kitchen with black hardware have bin pulls while the larger drawers have bar handles.
The scale is just right and the black color makes it all cohesive.
Black hardware in a white kitchen is a great choice. The black hardware stands out against the white cabinets for a classic timeless look.
Wood elements like the range hood and the island countertop warm up this space and give it a farmhouse look with the simple cabinet door knobs and bin pulls on the drawers.
Coordinating black hardware in your kitchen is easy, but let's not forget about the rest of the accents.
The first thing I noticed about this farmhouse kitchen was the black hardware and how it matched the black of the cooktop elements and the black handle of the tea kettle.
Can you mix and match your metals, of course, but having them all be the same has a timeless quality that can't be overlooked.
Don't forget the hinges! New cabinets have recessed hinges and you can't see them from the outside, but older style cabinets still may have the hinges on the outside, visible where you can see them.
Unless you're going to break the budget for all new cabinets, make sure to update the hinges to match your new black cabinet and drawer hardware. It could be as simple as spray painting them to match to keep it budget-friendly.
Square cabinet pulls and drawer cup pulls add just the right amount of modern to this farmhouse kitchen.
The square detail of each complements the other and the soft iron finish stands out against the white cabinets.
Those drawer pulls! They look like they belong in a library on a card catalog...is that still a thing? Or maybe an apothecary cabinet? They are the perfect vintage touch in this farmhouse kitchen.
It's true what they say about white kitchens. Classic, timeless, airy, and bright. Black hardware in a white kitchen just makes sense.
Cabinet knobs come in all shapes and sizes, but these flat round knobs are probably my favorite so far!
Cup pulls on drawers and knobs on cabinet doors are popular, but can we talk about the door handles on that pantry?!
The glass door panels make this pantry feel like another cabinet in the space instead of a closet and I think door handles instead of cabinet hardware is a genius idea!
When using open shelving in the kitchen, consider black brackets for your shelves. Although they aren't cabinet hardware, they are still in the kitchen, and matching them to your cabinet hardware just makes sense.
These black shelf brackets cup the thickness of the shelf and look amazing in this kitchen with the cup pulls and round knobs.
