Luxury Modern Kitchen Renovation with Custom Black Kitchen Cabinetry
This modern black kitchen renovation in Washington, DC is located in the Kent / Palisades neighborhood and features custom black kitchen cabinets paired with natural wood and stone elements. The homeowners partnered with USA Cabinet Store after successfully completing previous multi-unit renovation projects together.
The goal was to design a timeless modern kitchen that combines bold aesthetics with everyday functionality.
Design Concept
The kitchen was designed with a modern, minimalist approach, inspired by California-style calm and subtle Japanese influences. Clean lines, balance, and natural materials were key—allowing black cabinetry to anchor the space without feeling heavy.
Black Kitchen Cabinets & Materials
The kitchen features:
-
Matte black slab kitchen cabinets with flat-front design
-
A solid walnut waterfall island for warmth and contrast
-
Soapstone countertops and a custom soapstone sink for durability and texture
Cabinetry was selected from Showplace Cabinetry (EVO line), a Made-in-USA brand known for quality and design flexibility.
Functional Kitchen Planning
Functionality played a critical role in the final layout. Maintaining the island size allowed for:
-
Integrated pull-out trash and recycling
-
Improved storage and workflow
-
A kitchen designed for daily use, not just visual impact
Final Result
This project demonstrates how black kitchen cabinets can create a bold yet timeless space when paired with wood and stone. The result is a luxury modern kitchen that is functional, balanced, and built to last.
