Kitchen - Colour theme - will this work?

I am having cream cabinets and a wooden worktop. I have a white belfast sink, a silver oven and silver dishwasher. The walls will be green.

I want to see if a black chimney hood will work. I was initially going with stainless steel, but the one on offer has gone and there is a black one for a fraction of the price...

this is the basic layout:

The stainless steel would look miles better to my eyes.

I tend to agree with the stainless steel, especially as you already have silver appliances in the kitchen. I managed to get a practically brand new extractor from eBay for £50, so it maybe worth having a look to see if there are any near you.

Yes it will look good if you buy black small appliances

Agree with stainless steel, black will be too much of a contrast against the other mellow colours.

Another stainless steel vote here too, might be ok to have a black hood if you had a gas on glass hob though. But as you are looking on price this will probably not be a runner as gas on glass hobs are more expensive than a stainless ones. Otherwise one black appliance will stand out like a sore thumb.

Neighbours have a black hood and it stands out way too strongly in my personal opinion (White cupboards, white walls, dark granite worktops and silver/white appliances). Stainless gets my vote too; it's elegant, less likely to fall out of fashion and also is more sympathetic to a variety of styles and decors.

Yes, definitely stainless steel.

ok i will stay away with the black hood and keep an eye out on eBay. a bit gutted coz some nearly new went on eBay for £50, but didn't bid coz could've got the new one on offer for £60

thank you all
