A cozy environment in the kitchen depends on many reasons. Interior design plays an important role, and in particular the design of the sink. Every housewife wants her sink to be clean and tidy. When choosing a kitchen sink, you need to pay attention not only to its depth and shape, but also to its color. Housewives are interested in how to choose the color of the kitchen sink. The reputable and respected company GranFest™ has been manufacturing practical and high-quality kitchen sanitary ware for more than 10 years. GranFest produces artificial stone sinks. In the catalog you can choose a durable, comfortable and environmentally friendly model to suit every taste and family budget.
Combine with your chosen design style
The color scheme depends on the style in which the kitchen is decorated. The more modern and extravagant it is, the brighter the color scheme:
- Provence - light green shell;
- high-tech - red mars, terracotta, metallic;
- pop art - yellow;
- minimalism - white, beige or metal;
- loft - gray, black or white;
- modern - cream, graphite;
- classic - “frost”.
Matte shades of any rich colors look great. If the household has a dishwasher, you can install a sink in a delicate pastel shade.
Specifics of black kitchens in the interior: photos of examples of exclusive options
Black color in clothing design has always symbolized solemnity, elegance and subtle taste. An example is the classic men's tailcoats and the never-going-out-of-fashion little black sheath dress from the unrivaled Coco Chanel. At the same time, in interior design the approach to black is significantly different. Here, a minimal error in the balance of colors can lead to the fact that the academic nature of black will turn into a source of depressed mood with a oppressive atmosphere, but it is in the kitchen that comfort and coziness should reign.
To make a black kitchen look elegant and laconic, you need to adhere to the correct balance of colors.
The black color itself represents strength, power and dominance over everything that surrounds it. Nevertheless, it is used in interior design of various rooms - with the exception of children's rooms. It looks great in the design of an office, living room and even in the bathroom. Recently, people increasingly prefer black cuisine. Photos of successful room design options justify this decision.
Such interiors are the embodiment of sophistication, elegance and luxury, and therefore are suitable for bold and extravagant individuals who know how to clearly set goals and successfully achieve them.
The decision to create a black kitchen must be made consciously. If this is done only to surprise friends and acquaintances, such an intention can lead to disappointment, negatively affecting the psyche. At the same time, black cuisine is exclusive and fastidious, like an expensive car, mysterious, like black amethysts. Describing a kitchen in black, we can name the following main features:
A kitchen made in black will look mysterious and noble
- luxury;
- conciseness;
- exclusivity;
- sophistication;
- solidity;
- self-sufficiency;
- mystery.
Sink to match the color of the refrigerator?
It is advisable that the sink be combined with the finishing of the floor and ceiling, as well as with the decor, curtains and tablecloth. A harmonious combination of all interior elements will create a pleasant design. The kitchen sink should be combined with several other elements of the interior.
With a set and furniture - to match the color of the cabinets and drawers. Here it is important to consider the color scheme of the working surface. If the backsplash and countertop are black, you should take a closer look at the white cabinets and sink. On a white background, details in blue, light blue, light green and any other pastel colors look ideal.
With tabletop. The same color of the sink and countertop will create the compositional unity of the room. You can choose lighter or darker shades of the same color. Fashionable combinations: black coating plus a white sink, as well as white coating plus a Mars Red sink.
With kitchen appliances and appliances. A universal solution would be a metallic gray or light sink to match the color of the microwave, coffee maker, juicer, food processor, refrigerator or dishwasher. It is important that the selected device is large enough. If all the equipment is made in a single design, then choosing the appropriate sink color is very easy.
In a checkerboard pattern. Alternating 2-3 selected colors will create rhythm and harmony in the design of the room. For example, you can add a cream or light green kitchen apron to white walls. Let the cabinet doors be painted in both colors (white plus yellow, etc.). Then the shell should also be yellow.
Matte black kitchen
The facades of such a set will look good in a large room. Owners of small spaces and studio apartments should be careful when choosing a matte black kitchen. Texture can show its nobility and luxury only in volumetric spaces.
Matte facades dictate the fulfillment of certain conditions in surface finishing - these are natural materials on the floor and plain walls. It is better to show bright contrasts in details, for example, an apron with a yellow, orange or red pattern in combination with lampshades of chandeliers, sconces and lighting.
The most fashionable shades and materials
Stone-colored sinks have long been in fashion. Thanks to these solutions, you can create a cozy design for the kitchen and home. Topaz, anthracite, and graphite sinks look natural and calm. The organic combination of color and material from which the sink is made creates a unique design of the work surface and the kitchen as a whole. Stainless steel sinks have a steel gray, copper, bronze or metallic tint. You can easily find ceramic sinks in any tones and shades. Some models are decorated with interesting patterns. Sinks made of artificial or natural stone are painted in natural colors: beige, green, white, blue, black, yellow, brown. They can be interspersed, which make the sink design interesting and pleasing to the eye. There are several universal shades that are ideal for any kitchen interior design style.
Graphite. A strict and non-staining color will fit into an interior decorated in styles such as hi-tech, minimalism, classic, modern or loft.
Topaz. Ideally harmonizes with other interior elements, both light and dark. The topaz sink looks delicate and fragile, so it will create a feeling of cleanliness and comfort in the house. It is suitable for any rustic style, especially country and Provence. This model will look light and unobtrusive even in styles such as modern, classic, loft or hi-tech.
"Frost". This shade will create an atmosphere of constant cleanliness and freshness in the kitchen. It is suitable for minimalist and classic styles.
Grey. Perfectly disguises stains and dirt. If the housewife constantly has to wash a lot of plates and cups, then a gray sink will be an excellent option. This color will harmoniously fit into any interior.
Metal. Suitable for a housewife who does not have a dishwasher. Contrary to popular belief, this color is not nearly as easily soiled as it might seem.
White. The most popular and universal color. A white sink needs to be washed and cleaned quite often to prevent dirt from accumulating on it.
Glossy black kitchen
Reflective surfaces cannot look gloomy and dull. If the kitchen does not have a large area, then a set with glossy black facades will be an excellent choice.
Often such furniture is made in combination with white color, then the nobility of the dark tone is transformed and at the same time it does not look dominant. Bright details can be any kitchen accessories, a dining area in rich green, yellow or red, or a beautiful crystal chandelier that will reflect the sun's rays.

Design secrets
You can make a real “candy” out of a monochrome kitchen if you know the basic nuances of interior design and correctly take into account how black and white colors are revealed in space.
Correct proportions of color combinations
There is no exact answer as to which of the two colors of the pair should dominate the space. In principle, you can maintain a 1 to 1 ratio and decorate the room in such a way that both black and white are harmoniously distributed across all main zones.
Designer tips

Irina Polyakova is the founder of an interior studio, architect and interior designer. The main area of work is kitchen design
There is a simple rule that can help: the smaller the room, the more light shades it should have. And vice versa: in spacious kitchens, black reveals its potential better, so it needs to be used more.
There is a clear logic in the words above: white color eliminates the lack of square meters, creating a lasting illusion of expanding space. Therefore, it should be used in a ratio of 3 to 1.
But if there is an excess of usable space, it is better to stick to a 2 to 1 ratio in favor of black. This is a reliable way to create a harmonious living space without being overwhelmed by a dark background.
Bright accents in a monochrome interior
If the black and white interior you modeled seems empty and lifeless, introduce additional bright accents into it.
This is not so simple: if they are selected incorrectly, they will look inorganic.
Therefore, follow some rules:
- allocate no more than 10% of the entire interior area to accents - while the contrasting pair accounts for the remaining 90% in different proportions;
- a bright lamp placed in the center or a colorful sofa in the dining area will dilute the overall monochrome and make the atmosphere more vital;
- the fewer accent shades you use, the more noticeable they are;
- If you have a strictly minimalist design and have nowhere to place bright decor, use an apron - it will stand out from the general background and transform your kitchen.

Lighting
The black color itself “remarkably” conceals space and absorbs light, so without properly adjusted lighting in a monochrome kitchen it will not be possible to achieve comfort.
A clear and well-thought-out lighting scenario is required, completely eliminating the appearance of dim areas. For this:
- think over the lighting scheme BEFORE repairs;
- when determining the number of lamps in a room, proceed from the total area of the room and the arrangement of the main zones in it;
- use auxiliary lighting to create spectacular accent areas (for example, sconces above the dining area);
- Mix and match different types of fixtures to get the most effective lighting possible, but stick to the overall style aesthetic.
Characteristics
The modern market is distinguished by a wide range of kitchen sanitary ware. The main differences between kitchen sinks are:
- Color.
- Form. There are shells round, square, rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal and others;
- The presence or absence of drying.
- Installation type: corner, upright.
If the sink is made to order, then its shape can be the most unpredictable. But it is round units that are the most spacious, and the opinion that a square sink is the largest is wrong.
The most common washing option is a single-bowl device. However, today manufacturers offer customers a variety of sinks. The most common is the double one, where dirty dishes are collected in one bowl and washed in the other. There are also sinks with three bowls - a convenient device for a large family.
