Orange living room decor communicates fun, confidence, and warmth. Whilst it brings so many positive feelings, it can be tricky to imagine an orange interior that isn’t too overwhelming, loud, or unintentionally kitsch. But be brave. There are many ways to enjoy an orange-infused aesthetic. A single bright orange feature wall can bring a zingy aspect to the room, while a more muted shade of orange builds a comforting, cozy look. A bold orange couch or statement chair makes the conversation area the main attraction. For more variations on the theme, check out these 40 orange living room ideas with tips and accessories to help you design yours.

Relaxed boho decor shapes these three chilled modern home designs, which each boasts its own swimming pool. These happy homes are places where close family and friends love to gather and while away the hours. House number one is a simply styled home design with a minimalist boho aesthetic. White-washed brick walls and pared-back furniture speaks of easy upkeep and a laid-back attitude. Tour number two takes place in a home with a slightly more formal approach, though wicker accents and indoor plants bring the look back down to earth. Finally, we’ll round off our trio with a boho chalet, with a sleek modern feel and wide open airy living spaces.
Visualizer:Danang Seta
As we step into the living room of our first boho home, we find an all-white decor scheme that’s warmed by natural wood furniture and wicker accessories. Two large floor vases add a botanical display at either side of a whitewashed brickwork wall, creating layer upon layer of texture.
The projector-friendly living room really comes alive at night, with Netflix glowing on the big screen. The clear blue glow of the swimming pool shines in through a set of retractable doors.
Modern artwork adds a brief moment of interest to the plain white walls with a fashionable arched motif.
Behind the sofa, an airy dining area is furnished with beautiful curved wooden dining chairs and a modern metal-framed table.
The living room flows onto the pool terrace, providing comfortable indoor-outdoor living for the warm climate. The terrace is a neat little oasis, lined with lush tropical plants and palm trees.
The pool terrace is a connective space for the family. The house forms an L-shape around it, with sliding doors on both sides. An upstairs balcony overlooks the water.
A hanging chair is mounted to the underside of the balcony. It provides a comfortable spot to while away the afternoon with a good book.
A couple of wicker loungers are paired to form an area for relaxation and conversation by the swimming pool.
Two outdoor chaise lounge chairs dip into the cool blue water, making the ideal chill out spot on hot days.
Upstairs on the landing, a simple home gym area is equipped with hand weights, yoga mats, and a full length mirror. Cheerful, pastel colored, abstract art pieces dot the walls. Daylight pleasantly filters in through a clerestory window.
A wicker chair makes an attractive addition to the corner of the landing space. A round rug forms a small jute island underneath it, whilst indoor plants add green adornment on either side.
In the boho bedroom , A partially wood clad ceiling makes a cozy canopy above the bed.
Wicker pendant lights descend from each end of the wooden canopy.
Boho wall decor is applied to the plain white perimeter in regular flourishes.
A full length mirror draws out an arch motif. A wicker pouf and a round rug complete the stylish ensemble.
A walk-in wardrobe is paired with the bathroom.
The modern vanity area is casually accessorized with a wooden round mirror and dried botanicals.

A second, smaller sitting area is positioned near to the swimming pool. Another trio of wicker pendant lights descend upon a live edge coffee table.
The kitchen is a large and airy space with a long terrazzo island.

Our final tour takes place in a boho chalet, which is entered via an elegant arched gateway.
A lawn carpets the yard with greenery. A chic, canvas-roofed pergola forms the frame of an outdoor living room.
The outdoor living room features a kitchen area with a bar.
Rattan chairs and a round wooden table furnish a sunny conversational area on a small, tiled patio. Concrete plinths display plants and decorative vases.
Moving inside of the chalet, we enter an open and relaxed living room with a fresh white decor scheme. A white sofa and matching ottomans border a black and white rug .
Rattan pendant lights swing from exposed wooden beams.
Four wooden bar stools line up along the edge of the granite kitchen island to form an informal dining area.
Two wooden accent chairs and a small side table arrange a coffee area next to a large living room window. A modern media unit displays the TV.
Oak flooring covers the entire living space and entry hall.
The kitchen island lighting is a series of gray industrial-style pendants, which distribute even illumination along its full length. Smooth greige kitchen units merge with the wall stucco. A series of wooden wall cabinets make strong, textural contrast.
A macrame wall hanging and a pair of wicker lamps make a beautiful boho vignette beside a rustic wooden door frame.
We enter the master bedroom via a dressing area lined with made-to-measure wardrobes.
The white boho bedroom design features an attractive archway around the head of the bed, which is washed in a subtly contrasting shade of blue-gray.
A wicker pendant falls at one side of the archway, whilst a simple table lamp lights the other.
Beside the window, a chair and small table make a reading nook.
A dining room links with the terrace, where its filled with fresh air and sunlight.
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
Source:Vancouver House
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. Black and glass alternate in this chic kitchen as the interesting ceiling design keeps the space unconventional. We’ve also got to appreciate the cherry blossoms, doubling as decor even within the interior.
7. Factor in Some Warmth
Source:Modulnova
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.
21. Create a Modern Classic All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:A&L Interior Design
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).
23. Add the Industrial Style to the All Black Kitchen
Via:Emotion School
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.
24. Make a Statement with Black Chunky Lamps
Via:HomePicture.in
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
Visualizer:Sebastian Lorio
This dark-gray kitchen is super simple with its sleek, hardware-less cabinetry. Well, except the far left end. Here, we see a statement piece of art and intriguing layered lighting created a focal point.

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.
