Do you like the way this looks?

Yesterday, the guy at Budget Cabinets said that black crown looks great with wood cabinets, especially if you have black appliances. (We had told him that we were doing all black appliances.) I couldn't picture what that looks like and was skeptical, but I just googled and found a picture and the cabinets look almost exactly the same as the cabinets we picked out yesterday (color and style). I was surprised that I actualy like the way it looks, but I don't know if we'd actually do it.

Scroll down to the middle of the page and click on the one that says "Large Black Crown and Smaller Black Crown."

I'm just curious to hear your opinions.

Re: Do you like the way this looks?

  • I like it, but I think I'd like it more if the cabinets had more of a reddish tone to them
  • kinda cool....but not sure that i would be able todi something so "fashion forward" in my kitchen!! side note: i didn't like the counter tops in the sample- it made the rich cabinets with the fancy black molding look cheap.

  • I agree...the countertop in that picture is horrible!
  • I don't particularly like it, it stands out a bit too much for my liking. We have black appliances too but our countertops are not black granite. Our cabinets are the same shade in the picture.
  • Not a fan of the black crown molding...I like the crown that matches the cabinets.

    What if someday you decide you don't want black appliances?

  • Finny, That's part of the reason I don't think we'd ever do it.

    I prefer the matching crown over the black, but I was just surprised that I actually liked the way the black looked in the picture.
  • I'm with everyone else - not a big fan of the black crown molding. I think if the cabinets were a dark cherry it might be okay b/c there would be less of a contrast. I do like the look of crown molding, but in the same color as the cabinets.

     

  • I have seen it before and liked it...but it really depends on the color of the walls and the tiles for the backsplash. The picture has white walls, and it looks a little stark. However I have seen it done in a new home that had deeper colored walls and it looked really nice (they had stainless appliances that had black trim like handles knobs etc) and the cbinet knobs were wrought iron decorative ones.
  • Oh...funniest thing...those countertops everyone hates...are in my kitchen (not by my choice here when I bought it) but Im glad Im not the only one who hates them!!
  • a little too modern looking for my taste but with the right kitchen it might be nice.
