This rustic attic bedroom is striking. The chandelier made from antlers is lit up by the natural light let in by the large window. Wooden walls and a wood burning fireplace make this space so cozy.

Instead of being closed-in, like you may think an attic would look, this room is bright and open. The textured bookshelf above the platform bed acts as a headboard and an accent piece. Brightly colored ottomans give more seating for guests.
Visualizer:Dasha Maistat
All white isn’t boring in this stunning attic space! The exposed wooden beams contrast against the white walls. The bed is adorned with gray bedding and a black painted built-in bookshelf grabs the viewer’s attention. Instead of keeping the floors a natural wood color, the designer has painted them white to keep the attention on the beams in the room.
Visualizer:Artroom Studio
An attic space is open and inviting with large windows. Wooden floors are kept light and not too dark so that the entire space feels open and inviting. The only black used in this room is the inside of the windows and the mounted art above the gray bed. White window covers make it easy to shield out light when you’re needing more shut-eye.
Visualizer:Vladimir Bolotkin
One of the best parts of having an attic bedroom is that you can use as much creativity as you’d like! This bedroom has a teal wall and lots of industrial lights hanging above the bed. A favorite accent is the glass separator that divides the bed and the master bathroom. A freestanding tub and rectangular white sinks give this space a modern flair.
Architect:PL Architekci
The architect PL Architekci must believe in the simplicity of design. This white bedroom looks dreamy and cozy at the same time. The large angled windows invite air in and the bed on the ground make it feel like a real escape. Books ad a cup define this space as an introvert’s paradise. A clear acrylic lamp and black framed art piece balance each other out.
Designer:Alexey.Obrazcov
Even though the only orange item in this room is the throw on the bed, it immediately grabs your eyes! The simple bare wood of the walls is perfect because of the triangular architectural details crawling up the them. The white floor extends to the bed and the headboard. Textures are kept simple to draw attention to the accent wall.
Visualizer:Guilherme Alexandre
Built-in storage is a must when you have a strange shaped room like an attic. The white closets and drawers help keep clothes and accessories organized and out of sight. The natural wood of the bed works well with the gray reading lights and light wooden floors. If you look closely, you’ll also notice the two lights hanging from the ceiling which have yellow cords.
Visualizer:Yuriy Bobak
The visualizer Yuriy Bobak decided to illuminate the architectural detail in this attic bedroom. The beam that runs the width of the room has under lighting. This gives it an ethereal glow. The bed is kept low to the ground and white. Storage items, like baskets and white boxes are used as nightstands and organizers.
Visualizer:Bartosz Domiczek & Szymon Tworz
Don’t be fooled by the black and white artwork hanging on the back wall of this attic! At first glance it may seem like a window, but it is not. The window in the space is located on the left wall. Canned lights can be moved to fit the owners needs at the top of the room. Closets are kept white and closed to hide contents while the bookshelves are open and show off a fun collection of books!
Visualizer:Nikolay Yarin
The beauty of the blue sky is highlighted in this chic attic bedroom. A bachelor’s paradise, this room has tall ceiling and oversized windows. The bed is black and matches the black of the inside windows, the black art above the bed, and the black storage on the right wall. The light let in by the windows also adds a fun texture on the bed and on the floors. Skinny, narrow black metal lanterns give the room a masculine energy.

Everything above the bed in this attic bedroom is white and simple. Once you get to the bed-level you’ll see a gray block design and wooden shelves. A purple rug brings a little bit of color to the room and the repetition of the block design is mimicked in the built-in storage closets on the left.
Visualizer:Casa Della
Wood walls don’t make this bedroom look dark because they are lit up by the large angular window. The white platform bed contrasts well with the wooden accents and matches the modern floor rug. A quaint desk is tucked away in the corner, which makes this attic feel feminine and delicate. The bedroom chandelier adds to the charm.
Visualizer:Lev Kononov
Every single thing in this attic is a light wood grain. the only things that aren’t are the bedding, which is neutral, and the lamp shade. The result? A room that feels as if it is blending effortlessly with the outdoors. The simple windows give glimpses of pine trees outside and the rest of the room seems to have been designed around them.
Via:Danube River
Moody and dramatic, this master suite in the attic is a penthouse of sorts. The walls are white near the windows but the ceiling is a dark wood. If you look further into the room, you can see the bathroom is hidden behind the black closets. The freestanding stainless steel tub is private, thanks to the wall, but also benefits from the natural light. A red lamp adds a striking color contrast.
Although this is an attic bedroom, there are stairs that lead to another space in the home…upward! The chalkboard-like black accent wall behind the bed offers some diversity among the white accents. The “Y” shaped beams make the room look architecturally interesting. Lastly, the strange looking brown chair and accordion wall sconces give the room an industrial feel.
Visualizer:Tuisuz
With the curtains closed, you can tell the main point of focus in this bedroom is not the windows. The cushion-like base of the bed seems to be the focal point. White wooden beams cross across the top of the room and an intricate rug holds everything together. Visualizer Tuisuz embraces gray and makes it look layered in this room.
Via:Sigma Homes
Feminine and airy, this attic bedroom plays on the colors fuchsia and purple. The closet is white and the walls are white. The only colored accents are painted on the built-in shelves, used on the headboard, and bedding. A metal lamp reflects the other colors and shines on the angled wall.
Designer:Up Interiors
Bright and white, the only thing holding this attic bedroom down is the dark hues of the bed and the chair. The ceiling comes together like the shape of a barn and the windows melt into the walls with their white shade. A small window ledge showcases art, books, and natural colored items. The few furniture pieces that are in the room are streamlined and dramatic. The light, bed, chair, and wooden side table are kept near-to-the-ground to contrast with the tall ceilings. The colors of the bedroom chair and bed also help with the contrast.
Via:Alex Gore
This room is much more than just a place to sleep. As you can see, there is a space to work and a couch for entertaining. Although this room is perfect for a teen to escape to, the design is sophisticated enough for an adult. Beams cross through the space and the exposed brick make it full of character. Lighting above the window on the bookshelf adds a modern twist. Another cool aspect is the mural painted near the bed.
Via:Solonge Scherazad
Sometimes an attic isn’t too easy to renovate. That doesn’t mean it can’t be a cool outside space. This attic doesn’t appear to be used for all seasons but is used as a hang out when the weather is nice. Cone shaped, the windows are cut out of this room at random and art is hung in-between the rafters. This space reminds one of the room in The Little Princess, only nicer.
Visualizer:Casa Bella
An attic doesn’t have to lack unique lighting! The globe lights hanging from the ceiling give this attic an updated style. Two-toned wall paint also carries the trendy aesthetic. Again, the focus in this space isn’t necessarily the window, but the red couch and unique white beams on the ceiling.

This orange attic is bright and full of cheer! Window coverings match the furniture throughout the room and also allow for privacy. The art pieces incorporated feel Asian-inspired and add a different style layer to the room. The blue painting in the hallway works well with the other orange accents.
Look closely at the left of the windows and you’ll see a built-in that lights up a small bonsai tree. This accent clearly suggests to the viewer that this room is dedicated to being a zen space. The bed is made of the same wood as the floors and the inside of the windows. With bare colors and even less accents this attic bedroom is a place to think and meditate.
The beauty of designing an attic space is working with the interesting shape. In this attic, the designer embraced the shape of the ceiling and built in two twin beds and a window seat. By painting the panels, the eye is drawn to the unique architectural detail that inspired the built-ins. There’s also some hidden storage under the seats which is perfect for sleepovers and a kids room!
The sky is the limit when tall ceilings meet compact floor plans . The homes featured in this post sacrificed some of their impressive height for the sake of gaining more usable square footage - and the results are pretty fun to admire. Many of these interiors take the traditional approach by placing a bedroom in the lofted area, but others break the mold by using their newfound second floor for other purposes like a home office or library. While loft living isn’t a great solution for the stair-weary, it’s still a neat option for people who want to put their extra vertical space to work.
Designer:ILYA Derkach
Designed to mimic the freedom and playfulness of a treehouse, this interior makes great use of its impressive 4-meter-tall ceilings. A comfortable bedroom occupies the loft space, leaving plenty of room for functional areas like the kitchen and hallway beneath. The staircase is compact but just the right depth to contain useful storage cabinets.
The living room enjoys the full atrium-like effect of the apartment. Tall windows brighten the interior upstairs and down. Accent colors tend toward the darker side of the spectrum, but the ample natural light makes it work beautifully.
Between the windows remains a strip of wall just wide enough for a tiny dining table and television. Not an inch of space is wasted.
Just check out this smart layout! A cabinet in the hallway hides the laundry space, just around the corner from the bathroom. The kitchen is small but contains all the necessities - the white surfaces banish shadows that might feel oppressive as part of the living room.
Upstairs decor remains much more casual and homey. It’s clearly a space to relax, reflect, and decompress at the end of the day. The head of the bed aligns perfectly with the window to allow a view of the outdoors.
The position of the loft bedroom provides plenty of privacy on its own, but the shuttered doors surely help to diffuse a bit of the noise and light without disrupting airflow – convenient when guests are crashing on the sofa downstairs.
Of course, when you’re dealing with a room this tall, pendant lamps can make all the difference. These pendants from Sandra Lindner feature beautiful copper accents toward the top, so they look just as gorgeous from above as they do from below.
Designer:Whiteline Design Studio
Unlike most living spaces that include a loft, this one is part of a freestanding home rather than an apartment – a beautiful example of the “tiny house movement”. Downsized living spaces are praised as a way to minimize, clarify, and eliminate some of the complexities of modern life. This home accomplishes all of this without sacrificing an ounce of style.
The layout is heavily linear, transitioning from the living room to the kitchen and finally leading to the entrance. A wooden ladder leads up to the lofted bedroom.
While the living room enjoys the full height of the building, the dining room and kitchen occupy a cozier spot beneath the loft. Modern pendant lights hang low to the table to create a more intimate atmosphere.
Contrast plays a key role. Many of the cabinets remain dark to prevent the appearance of crowding and to hide the shadows within the open shelving above – sometimes using dark colors can make the rest of the interior feel brighter.
The bedroom feels wonderfully cozy beneath its black vaulted ceiling. One group of cushions serves as the bed, and the other pulls double duty as seating or a guest bed.
Visualizer:Andrew Chiniakov
This space is part of an interesting mobile housing project titled WoodBox3x6, where every square meter of the ultra-compact interior realizes its full functionality and purpose. A realized version of this concept would include solar panels and wind generators, passive water collection, and other environmentally friendly features.
Although this home is packed with interesting features, the loft solutions are worth admiring. This home actually features two lofts – the library, featured here, is accessible from an extremely streamlined staircase.
A wider staircase provides a more comfortable route to the lofted bedroom. Storage cubbies, a full-size closet, and a small kitchenette all take advantage of the extra space.
Visualizer:Big nose
Dramatic panels give this loft interior a very cohesive aesthetic from top to bottom. It’s natural, warm, and has a distinctive vintage undertone that really brings out the best of its modern side. An ultra-functional furniture arrangement ensures that the residents are able to work and play without obstruction – just as if it were a conventional apartment.
Natural materials and low-profile furniture keep the interior feeling light and casual – a versatile aesthetic for a compact home where formality might feel too restrictive.
In an interior otherwise dominated by warm tones, the blue portion of the sectional draws the eye with temperature contrast.
Without room for a guest bed, a spacious sofa like this one pays for itself. Sofas with armrests are more comfortable for day-to-day lounging but this one combines the best of both worlds.
The wires in the foreground support the staircase. The form is industrial but the brass-colored coating lends a touch of luxury.
Omitting the staircase risers allows sunlight to penetrate deep into the home. There’s no obstruction, no shadows.
And, even though there’s not much room for other objects beneath the stairs, this bicycle has found quite a nice home there. Other residents might use this space for a sideboard cabinet or small desk.
Here’s a view of the tiny office on the loft level. Although there isn’t a clear shot of the bed, this little area is inspiring too.
Visualizer:Lai Yanan
This interior uses dynamic angles to instill a sense of movement and energy, overcoming one of the major boundaries that a carefully tailored compact home usually faces. A variety of planes not only disperses the concentration of decor for a better sense of balance but it also increases the perceived height of the already impressive ceiling.
The master bedroom actually occupies the main floor of the building while an office enjoys the loft – an unconventional but very effective choice.
Guests can dine or sleep on the wide bench seats that surround the dining table. Skip to the end of this section for a better idea of the multipurpose nature of each space.
The bathroom countertop lifts to provide access the tub, and a wooden platform lowers to cover it.
This visualization details just a few of the hidden platforms scattered throughout the home.
Visualizer:Jarek Banas
Although more difficult to accomplish from an architectural standpoint, “floating” lofts are visually powerful. This interior places the staircase against the wall and suspends the bedroom above the living area as its own little island. Glass bannisters preserve the line of sight without compromising on safety – a very light look.
The low-profile bed allows for a clean line of sight in all directions, to the double-height window in the atrium to the unique balcony to the left.
Visualizer:Dian Maulidi
And finally, here’s a look at a space efficient interior with the decorative appeal of a truly luxurious home. The sophisticated palette of high-end materials could make residents forget they’re in a compact home. This layout would work wonderfully as a guest suite within a larger residence, using the same amount of space that others might dedicate to a home theater or ordinary guest bedroom.
Dark isn’t the first theme that comes to mind when designing a kitchen. Stereotypical assumptions are of white and bright kitchens matched by light wood—something like the color of breakfast pancakes. Have you ever thought otherwise? Perhaps something like a modern dark kitchen?
We’ve got a collection of stunning spaces sure to switch up your vision. This black kitchen design inspiration is the sexiest interior design can muster. All divulging in shades of black, navy, or dark brown, they add what white kitchens cannot—a seductive allure that says sleekness and sophistication at the same time. Take a peek at some brilliant interiors on the darker side to see if a modern luxury black kitchen could be for you.
Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation
1. Make it an All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Design At Sketch
Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.
2. Add Wooden Elements
Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy
This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!
3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange

A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).
4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple
Visualizer:Panda Fox Studios
A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.
5. Make it Dark… Or Not?
Visualizer:Who Cares Design
If you’re eyeing a dark kitchen aesthetic but are hesitant to make the change, this is it. Introducing more light, this black kitchen is hardly dark at all. Black benches, cabinetry, fixtures and stools are intersected by large-panel windows, a white shelving stand and light flooring.

Visualizer:Visual Method
This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

An instant way to brighten up a dark kitchen (we mean, get the best of both worlds)? This kitchen space shows us how by using a white island on a black floor. The backsplash further enhances this dark-and-light effect, while the cowhide rug adds just the right amount of coziness.
9. Make Marble Your Best Friend
Architect:Chamberlain Javens Architects
If you’re looking to create a modern luxury black kitchen, you know what you’ve got to do: Go big on marble! This natural stone adds the luxe factor to any space, especially as a large, central island, as seen in the kitchen above. You can also add it through the backsplash.
10. Make it Mysterious
Visualizer:Tomek Michalski
You can double the visual intrigue in your all black kitchen by adding some mystery. In this kitchen, mood-lighting sets the scene in black and grey, while a marbled bench acts as the hero. The back inlet and flooring create contrast and depth. Taken together, these elements make the space an interesting one.
11. Layer Gray and Gold
Visualizer:Mitaka Dimov
Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.
12. Add French Style to Black Kitchen Design
Visualizer:Aeroslon
Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!
13. Consider Soft Elements
Visualizer:Julia Sultanova
Rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights set this kitchen interior a world apart. You can also notice a layer of light gray cabinetry, adding variation to the otherwise dark color palette. These elements factor in softness to the black kitchen design.
14. Let the Accessories Do the Talking
Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen
In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.
15. Consider a Matte All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:HDR Designer
Neat square panels perfectly line up to emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here. We love how the cabinetry is matte black with no hardware, adding a sense of simplicity. The herb planters are a healthy green addition to bring the otherwise simple space.
16. Add Some Stencilling to Black Kitchens
Visualizer:Julia Sultanova
Fine lines and stencilling set this monochromatic space apart. Lined by black magnetic lights, black stencils and glossy white facades, it makes its mark on a light wooden floor.
17. Build a Shape Out of Black
Visualizer:Huso
18. Create a Modern Dark Kitchen with Gradients
Visualizer:Mario Nogueira
If you’re wondering how the intrigue in this space is working… It’s the gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in the walls and a monochromatic hanging light. This clever design technique makes sure the space is anything but boring, even if it’s using mere neutrals (minus the stunning orange dining chairs, of course).
19. Leverage Black Textures
Visualizer:Nefeli Kallianou
One instant way to add interest to a black kitchen is with textures, as seen in this metallic matte kitchen. This accounts for decorative presence in the light and bright space, providing character to an otherwise simple room.

Folks seeking an inviting all black kitchen can look towards this modern classic space. It merges contemporary elements (through sleek black cabinetry) with traditional ones (as seen in the wooden backsplash) to bring together the best of both worlds.
22. Put Essentials on Display in Your Modern Black Kitchen Interior
Visualizer:Polygon
Yet another kitchen that uses black and wooden elements to create a dark-themed interior. What sets this one apart is the hanging pans. They do offer easy access as the residents cook, but they also double as decor! (Note how the pans also use black and wooden elements to stay coherent with the theme).

Industrial style lovers, rejoice! This is THE inspiration to set up your favorite interior design style, the dark way. This kitchen uses rustic wood and exposed elements for the ceiling to create an industrial black kitchen interior.

25. Make Room for Keepsakes
Visualizer:Maxim Goryachev
There’s nothing like personalizing your space to who YOU are. This kitchen serves the purpose by adding keepsakes and heirlooms. Also, black leaves room for details, so it’s one of the best colors to use if you’re hoping to display knick-knacks.
26. Use Black to Add Intimacy

Who says dark colors make small spaces feel smaller? We only see black adding luxury to this compact space (with some credit to the white flooring adding brightness). This kitchen—with black marble backsplash—speaks opulence, and for all the right reasons!
27. Enhance Black Kitchen Design with Patterns
Visualizer:Ksenia Lenski

28. Don’t Forget a Black and White Rug

If you’re not in for a complete kitchen renovation, simply painting your cabinets black and adding a black-and-white patterned rug will achieve the purpose! We love how this kitchen keeps sets the base with white and tops it with black.
29. Let the Lighting Make a Statement in the All Black Kitchen
Architect:Artpartner Architects
When everything else is understated, letting the lighting create a statement is a good idea. This matte black kitchen interior uses rod lighting to do the talking. It sticks to the all black kitchen color scheme, though!
30. Tone it Down
Visualizer:Valeria Mosolova
This open floor plan uses dark gray throughout, showing us that black can work in more spaces than the kitchen 😉 It sure makes a design statement for those cooking and dining—or lounging!
31. Consider a Black and Wooden Bar
