Using Black in Your Designs

I love the color black, or should I say the lack of color? Black is such a sophisticated color, and I often hear clients say they love black, but don't know how to bring it into their designs.  Even in many of the designs I have seen from colleagues, many of them don't use black either.  So here are some fun accessories, and samples of designs using black.

This etched Apron Front double bowl sink would look good in a kitchen with  nearly any color cabinets.  Available from  Lenova Sinks, this granite sink will cost around $2000.  Lenova also offers vessel sinks for the bathroom.  

This kitchen from Kraftmaid features Black perimeter cabinets with a  vibrant red island.  Too much for you?  Choose a black island with peninsula cabinets in your wood finish of choice.
