A nautical black and white color scheme can add a touch of sophistication to a small kitchen that chooses a coastal nautical theme with beachy decor. The cabinets can be painted in a sleek black shade, while the walls can be kept white to create a clean and timeless look. The backsplash can feature white subway tiles with black grout, adding a graphic element to the design. Brass or chrome hardware and fixtures can be used to complement the black and white color scheme, evoking the look of classic nautical elements. The kitchen can be accessorized with black and white striped textiles such as curtains, dish towels, and seat cushions. A small marble or granite-topped table with black chairs can be placed in the center of the kitchen, creating an elegant dining area. This nautical black and white kitchen brings a sophisticated coastal charm to a small space.
