Come, search your feelings. You know you want to experience the design genius of the dark side and a black kitchen. Far from simply looking gothic, black kitchens have a way of turning a perfunctory space into the most stylish room in the house

Interior designers might try to warn you off an entirely black room, but we think you can make the decision for yourself. Once you've seen the examples we've found, you'll be sold!

1. You can't deny that black is opulent as hell

2. This kitchen has a real buzz about it thanks to the zingy yellow accent colour

3. Black really adds something more grown up to a family home

4. If you can't face diving straight in for all-black straight away, start with worktops and see how you feel

5. A panel of accent cabinets works well to inject a little black, if you're still teetering

6. Industrial styling and black are a match made in kitchen heaven!

7. A black kitchen island will be a fantastic focal point

8. If cabinets in black aren't for you, what about black walls? Chalkboard paint is so hot right now!

9. How can anyone say black is gothic? This kitchen just looks outrageously stylish to us

10. For a softer, more natural black, marble is the perfect choice and is so undeniably luxe

11. Monochrome is magnificent in the kitchen and we love this example, which favours black elements over white

12. Black ash wood offers an organic version of black kitchen styling that will never age

13. In a bright space, a black kitchen really brings some design authority

14. This kitchen almost feels a little retro in design, but it's incredible, whatever the plan was!

15. Black isn't a cold colour, especially when used with natural tones, like an exposed brick wall

16. Even period homes that favour traditional design can happily accept a black kitchen. This one looks amazing!

17. What could be better than gloss black cabinets, for making a splash?

18. We're pretty sure this is Batman's kitchen, but we love it just the same. Heavy on the overbearing design and dark tones, it still looks phenomenal
