    we'v got the ikea black gloss kitchen with light grey slate floor and a dark and light woodblook worktop,it looks great.a good tip to keep the static and keep the doors looking sparkling is to use shoowroo shine dry car cleaner on them you can get it fro bid tv for about £20 but well worth it

    Hi Matty

    I usually advise customers to choose the kitchen door first, then the worktop, then flooring and lastly the wall colour. I also think it is best practice to get the worktop from your kitchen supplier as they should give you the best advice, they will have all the samples to hand and you will have just the one point of contact.

    Anyway - what goes with black gloss doors? Star galaxy granite, black mirror chip quartz, pure white quartz, light grey quartz and Walnut wood either real or laminate.

    Good luck.

    We have a black gloss kitchen with aluminium effect worktops and black and white tiles. The lighter worktop means it doesnt look TOO dark!

    We have a lot of customers going with with various shades of White Quartz on Black glossy units - the contrast work nicely.

    Many thanks for your replies. I also did a google images search, dont know why I didnt think of that before, which gives examples to support your suggestions. (just wish my kitchen was as large as most of those google examples!) Cheers
