Kitchen pictures thread - Show us your kitchens!

You have to clean every kitchen anyway.

I'm a fan of your house. Have you already posted your kitchen? A few weeks ago, I looked at all the kitchen pictures here. But I don’t remember yours, only your faucet. Which we are also getting in matte black. Hope it doesn’t splash as much anymore.

You really must not underestimate it. You don’t see water splashes on light kitchens. On dark ones, there are stains everywhere. Likewise, flour crumbs, etc. But design is often not practical and you just have to live with that.

To be honest, I don’t know
I can only advise everyone against a dark sink. Even if you wipe it 5 times a day, you can still see water stains

I honestly don't know
I can only advise against a dark sink for everyone. Even if you wipe over it 5 times a day, you can still see lime stains

Black fittings, sinks/basins, dark tiles in the bathroom, etc. always recommend a water softening system!

Not so bad in winter. I like the kitchen. Black in country house style is not seen often

Thanks, yes, but we didn’t hesitate long. We had looked a lot in kitchen studios and at the blue Swede before, and when standing in front of the kitchen we had that "THIS IS IT!" feeling.

I hope you won’t have too many problems with fingerprints on the black fronts.
In my opinion you can see some on the flap above the oven in the pictures

Yes, you can surely see something there, I didn’t have a suitable soft cloth yet in the new house and of course wanted to take photos right away.
It’s not perfectly cleaned yet, the smudges come from the assembly team.

We have a black kitchen with glass fronts, I already posted about that here, and I don’t find it particularly maintenance-intensive, the glass fronts are super easy to clean.

I think our decision for matte black will still be a challenge because you also have to be careful what you clean it with permanently. Some cleaners (alcohol, solvents) can attack the matte fronts. You also have to be careful not to polish some spots shiny, that looks dumb too.
I’m always happy about care tips from people with experience with matte black!

The kitchen looks chic and very classy.
It looks a bit dark in the pictures, but that can be misleading.
Can the faucet be "folded down" so you can open the window completely? Or can you only tilt it?

Thanks! It’s not that dark in reality, the photos don’t really capture it properly. I only took them with my phone when it was finished. The faucet is not foldable. We definitely wanted this fixture. Fully aware that you’ll splash everything within a 1 meter radius with it. When the heart wants something, sometimes the brain goes into standby.

Honestly, I don’t know.

It’s very chic too. Also a very impressive coin jar.

I have been cleaning our black matte fronts with a magic eraser for almost 5 years. So far, no scratches, glossy spots, or light spots. Our kitchen is from Schüller. However, I do not take any responsibility; I have read on FB from some people who advise against using a magic eraser on matte fronts. I only read that now, and since I have been using them for years, I am not going to stop now. I can only get my fingers clean with it.
