Concrete, an open floor plan, and lots of space define these three gorgeous spaces and they prove lofts don’t always have to be cold and dreary. The first home featured uses chalkboard paint to highlight the raw feel of the space. Large windows and piped lighting make loft number two the perfect combination of modern and contemporary. Lastly, the third loft is a 3D design and is darker than the others. This home has large circular lighting and leather furniture.

Visualized by Denis Bespalov, this loft uses sunny yellow to add a pop of color to the space. Concrete walls and floors are warmed up by natural wood cabinets in the kitchen and bookshelves.
The kitchen bar sits perfectly behind the yellow couch. This makes watching TV while grabbing breakfast an easy task. A design like this also designates different living zones in a large space.
Keeping things wide and open, the kitchen shelving is designed without cabinet doors. You can see the different items artfully displayed. The designer carefully made sure that there was pops of yellow mixed in. The back side of the cabinet is also painted black to match the rest of the loft.
Black painted walls can sometimes be too dramatic and dark. In this home, the homeowners have the luxury of chalk paint! This fun accent adds life to the dark walls while still looking industrial chic.
The white metal barstools lighten up the room and are perfect against the black walls. A yummy breakfast is ready to be enjoyed on this floating bar. In the background you can see the chalkboard being used.
A large window in the kitchen lets in lots of natural light. The light wood of the cabinets looks organic and matches the rest of the raw feel of the space. A few stainless steel accents are kept out for visual interest.
Pretty jars filled with cooking ingredients make this loft feel like a home instead of a warehouse.
To not break up the darkness of the walls the outlets have been painted completely. This makes them hard to notice and does’t interrupt the design.

This loft is a bachelor’s best friend. White walls marry wooden floors and concrete ceilings.
One of the most one-of-a-kind accents in this loft is the tubular light fixture above the table and chairs. Blending in, yet standing out, this light works well in this space.
A sunroom off the kitchen welcomes natural light but stays within the same color scheme as the rest of the home. By not closing this space off, more light can flood the large living area.
The kitchen island works in contrast with the rest of the cabinets. The cooktop is modern and the industrial exhaust makes a statement in the home. Gray oversized window treatments make the loft feel more lived-in.
From this angle in the kitchen looking toward the dining space and living room, the exhaust lines up with the TV. This makes a play on lines and visually brings the room together in an interesting way.
A textured backsplash in this loft breaks up the monotony of the wood grain cabinets. The under mount lighting makes it even more noticeable.
Visualizer:Nina Zaitseva
This dramatic home has special accents that make it custom for the homeowners. Instead of using traditional sized brick for the exposed walls, the brick is elongated. This adds an interesting texture to the living room.
Round hanging lights give the dark loft an circular element. This shape is then repeated in the mounted clock on the wall. Each wall is adorned differently.
The rounded light fixture resembles a candelabra.Of course, the light can now be turned on with a flip of a switch. No need to light each “candle.”
The wooden table is a natural element invited into this otherwise industrial loft. The table is simple, yet contemporary. Gray upholstered chairs and a candle centerpiece bring it together.
Different seating options help define the different living areas in this open loft. The couches are where the living space can be, the dining table sets the dining space apart, and the kitchen island lets you know you’re now entering the space to prepare food.
The lights reflecting off of the hanging chandeliers draw your eyes upward. The reflection of the light on the concrete adds more texture to the room.
The kitchen is well appointed with lots of cabinet space and counter space. Instead of being bare, the designer left out three jars filled with food ingredients. This makes the space feel more inviting.
Candelabras are an interesting idea in this space. This lighting reflects an older time and then contrasts with the modernity of the reclaimed loft space.
One of our favorite rooms in all 3 lofts, this bedroom is the perfect blend of masculine and feminine. The chandeliers are light and elegant while the elongated exposed brick feels more rustic.
A soft loveseat is placed at the end of the bed for additional seating. The TV is builtin while closet space surrounds it.
Scanning out a little further in this image, you can see there is a painting added to the right wall. This breaks up the brick design and adds more shape to the room.
The entryway to this home is simple, but overstated. You can see that the table is illuminated with multiple black pendents. This greets guests and lets them know that this space is different.
The floor plan of home three is a great way to get a feel for the space. There are two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a large entryway.
Plants invigorate the home! In an era where connecting with nature often requires scheduled trips, bringing the outdoors inside is a welcome relief from the plaster and concrete that makes up our everyday surroundings. But what if you’re short on space to accommodate ordinary houseplants? This post has the answer! Hanging planters make it easy to start a vertical garden wherever you are. Whether you’re looking to enliven your office cubicle or want to freshen up the atmosphere of your apartment, this list of stylish planters is sure to offer some ideas. We know you’ll find something to suit your budding indoor garden no matter your style.
Cat Shaped Wall Planter:
Don’t forget feline aficionados! Everybody knows someone who can’t have enough cat-themed decoration in their lives. This would make a wonderful gift for a cat owner – vertical gardens are extra appreciated since kitties can’t dig in the dirt or eat the leaves as they might with ordinary houseplants.
Hanging Terrarium Planter Kit:
Everything you need to grow vibrant low-maintenance tillandsia in one easy package. This set includes two vented terrariums with flat bottoms and twine hangers, attractive river pebbles, live green moss, and a convenient spritz bottle of air plant fertilizer to keep your terrarium looking healthy for years to come.
Tapered Porcelain Planter With Drainage:
Asymmetric decor is a growing trend in modern home design. This piece fits the bill just perfectly with its pinched seam and swirling folded reservoir. Leather cord offers a unique alternative to the typical chain link or woven string hanging options.
Scalloped Conical Planter:
Celadon-glazed porcelain comes together in the shape of a cone, with one scalloped edge to provide visual interest beyond the plant that takes root inside. Organic hemp cord makes hanging easy and eco-friendly.
Conical Concrete Planter:
Concrete is the ultimate decor material for industrial-themed homes. Complement your dedicated color palette with the selection of red, rose, or white accents. The rope hangers are included, but the plants are not.
Triangular Hanging Planter:
One of the most desirable features of hanging planters is the fact that you can choose a pot of any shape, not just flat-bottomed. This handmade cacti/succulent holder includes plenty of drainage holes to preserve the health of low-water plants.
Modern Hanging Planter:
Rugged PVC construction, stainless steel hanging cables, and ample drainage holes ensure this planter (and hopefully, the plants you put in them) can withstand the elements indoors or out.
Hanging Planter With Wood Hook:
So many hanging planters on the market are missing this one crucial element! This planter includes a natural wooden hook so you won’t be restricted to ceilings alone. This package includes the macramé sling and the hook so you can supply the planter you’ve been waiting to use.
Hemispherical Hanging Planters:
Made from resin rather than wicker as it appears, these planters are ideal for indoor or outdoor use. A sealed inner bowl and drainage plug make plant maintenance so much easier than more restrictive options.
Coconut Shell Hanging Planter:
Natural coconut shell gains a fresh second life as a beautiful planter. Thai artisans create each one by hand. This style would look equally at home in a tropical, bohemian, or Asian style interior theme.
Diamond Shaped Hanging Planter:
Does your geometric decor theme need a touch of the organic? This planter combines the best of both worlds. Biodegradable 3D printing technology makes it perfect for the sustainable home. Drainage holes allow for a range of plant possibilities, although this piece would work well as a hanging holder for office supplies or other small objects as well.
Porcelain Planter Hung From Rope:
Soft yarn rope and matte porcelain is a match made in heaven. This ceramic planter measures up at a petite 4 inches wide, perfect to hang in a small space like a compact home office or on the rare bare wall in the kitchen.
Hanging Glass Wall Planters:
Plants that do well in water – like philodendron cuttings – look wonderful in transparent planters. Technically, these are likely a little too small to accommodate fish as the pictures show, but the transparency still makes it easy to include colorful stones to coordinate with your decor.
Heart Shaped Succulent Wall Hanging Planter:
Although the succulents are not included with this planter, the shape and idea are both very neat. Spread the love in your home by cultivating your own heart-shaped vertical garden anywhere.
Tree Shaped Wall Planter:
The best thing about cacti and succulents is the maintenance factor. They do best in indirect sunlight so you can hang them anywhere, they’re drought-resistant so they’re more likely to survive long vacations without their owners, and they’re quick to provide offshoots to expand your garden.
Jellyfish Hanging Planters:
Let’s start with something especially impressive, perfect for modern and classic interiors alike. Sea urchin shells form the body of the jellyfish and the long tendrils of the tillandsia air plants represent the hypnotic tentacles – just hang them up with the included clear string and enjoy the illusion of jellyfish floating gracefully as if underwater.
Owl Shaped Wall Hanging Planter:
Owls are just too cool! This piece includes a reclaimed branch as a perch, enhancing its prominence as a 3D wall sculpture.
Humming Bird Shaped Wall Hanging Planter:
Bird loves are sure to appreciate this one. The wood stain is especially impressive, giving the illusion of a verdant hummingbird over a smooth landscape. Use this piece in rustic or desert-themed interiors for a gorgeous effect.
Elephant Shaped Wall Hanging Succulent Planter:
Here’s a fresh take on a vertical wall gardens! Turn your favorite succulent varieties into living artwork with this handmade wooden planter frame. Each one ships with ready-planted succulents and cacti over a bed of preserved Spanish moss.
Novelty Hanging Planter:
First things first – the planters themselves are not included with this set. Otherwise, the hangers themselves are a stylish solution for outdoor vertical gardens. This design is intended to hold any pot with a 6 inch diameter.
Porcelain Wall Hanging Planters:
Like river-polished stones, these ceramic planters feel organic and easy on the eye. Include these within a minimalist interior to help break an emphasis on straight lines or sharp forms.
Hexagonal Wall Hanging Planter:
Geometric decor is still hotter than ever! Hexagons are great for making modular designs – hang them flush together or spread apart, the choice is entirely yours to make. Each planter is handmade by artisans in California.
Wood And Leather Wall Hanging Planter:
Rustic and modern interiors alike would benefit from a simple wooden planter like this one. Straps are available in tan, red, green, blue, and black to match your favorite color palette.
Porcelain Hanging Planters:
Lather, porcelain, and maple come together to create charmingly simple planters that would look gorgeous in a Scandinavian or minimalist interior. The smooth matte finish allows the plants themselves to take center stage.
Unique Vertical Succulent Planter:
Triple up on your amount of succulent greenery without using up more space! These vertical planters are perfect for small spaces and the brass, silver, and bronze hues would look great in an apartment decorated with industrial or luxury themes.
Overhead Hanging Planters:
Ever wanted to grow an herb garden in your kitchen, but don’t have enough space to store the planters on shelves or counters? Unlike similar upside-down planters, these are made from high-quality ceramic for a more high-end aesthetic. A carefully engineered reservoir gradually waters the plants and a mesh panel keeps soil in place.
Cute Planters With Legs:
They look like they could jump up and do a little dance at any moment! Fully glazed ceramic makes them easy to clean, but they don’t have drainage holes so be prepared with a little pea gravel instead.
Hanging Shell Planters:
These pure white ceramic shells would look beautiful within any decor style. Nautical themes are especially popular in bathrooms and kitchens, where air plants like these absolutely thrive due to the extra humidity.
Tiny Hanging Pot Planters:
are a classic part of any bohemian chic interior, retro and timeless all at once. The planters aren’t included, but the ones pictured here are just 4 inches in diameter to give a sense of scale.
Octopus Hanging Planter:
Handcrafted in Italy, these air plant holders offer a different take on nautical style – this time, with an adorable sleepy octopus woven from soft yarn. These sweet octopi are available in a huge range of colors. Also if you like planters shaped like cute animals, be sure to check out these 50 unique animal planters .
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.
6. Make Use of Asymmetry in the Black Modern Kitchen
Visualizer:Visual Method
This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

This warmer-looking kitchen makes a move to brown. It strategically achieves the purpose with the use of wood. This not only introduces natural textures but also makes the ambiance inviting. Talk about a modern style that’s equal parts welcoming!
8. Place a White Island in a Black Modern Kitchen
Visualizer:Jean Regauer
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.
20. Work on the Functionality of the Modern Dark Kitchen
Visualizer:İbrahim Ethem KISACIK
This dark modern kitchen makes sure it’s as functional as is stylish. The central island is paired with a black dining table, while all necessary appliances are fixed into the cabinetry. We also see pendant lights and lighting under the hood providing just the right illumination.

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.

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.

All eyes on the two chunky lamps hanging in this monochromatic setting. They do add focus but also allow the contrasting white inset to shine. Not to forget the central island, providing plenty of storage space.
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
Visualizer:Helen Bank
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
This black kitchen interior makes a design statement with the patterned marble island. Its sleek metallic legs lift it off the floor, creating an illusion of space. Simultaneously, the textured inset makes sure visual interest is added.
28. Don’t Forget a Black and White Rug
Visualizer:Nada Aboelrous
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
Visualizer:Amir Emami
This is the ultimate modern luxury black kitchen! After all, what’s better than displaying your favorite collection of beer right behind the black kitchen island? The low-hanging pendant lights also add to the black kitchen design.
32. Add the Gothic Vibe

This compact kitchen space follows the simple rule: white walls paired with black cabinetry and an island. Even in this nook, the space is able to make a style statement while providing optimal functionality. The window here gives a contrasting element of light to the otherwise dark modern kitchen.
34. Layer Lighting in the All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Tatiana Durnescu
We see shades of gray and black coming together to bring this modern dark kitchen to life. What we especially love is the multiple types of lighting, all layered together to bring visual interest to the space.
35. Set the Backdrop For Your Living Space
Visualizer:Sasha Zolotukhin
