LOVE or NOT: Minimalistic black kitchens

In terms of leading a simple life, I'm more and more into sleek and clutter free spaces. Monochrome is a sure way to accomplish a visually coherent look with neutral shades stealing the show when it comes to sophisticated results. White has been all over the place lately and, although I am a dearest fan of its pure and bright finish, black surfaces are starting to draw my attention as well.
Today, I'd like to share with you 10 kitchens with an elegant contemporary design basically consisting of black cabinetry, splashbacks and/or floors. I love to check on the details of each one of these kitchens and imagine myself cooking in one of them. Quite truthfully, I'm not sure I'd cope with such a minimalistic environment no matter how much I'd wish for that to happen (a clean countertop and spotless surfaces sound like a bliss but not a daily possibility in a busy family life). The abundance of cabinetry and the sparse, if any, use of open shelving sure does help towards this direction.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on having a black minimalistic kitchen. Have you tried it or would you consider having one in a future home?
