Paint the cupboards white. White cupboards will match a yellow kitchen. Take the cupboards down from the wall to paint them if necessary. Remove all plates, cups and other items from the cupboards before painting them. Use a semi-gloss paint to keep them looking shiny and for easy clean-up. Allow the cupboards to dry for at least 48 hours before putting dishes back in them.

Choose a black counter top that suits your kitchen. Whether the counter is granite or wood, a black counter will add a nice element to any yellow kitchen. Granite is a great choice for many kitchens, although a dark wood may be less expensive. Have the counter professionally installed to avoid injuries or errors in the installation.
