A sweet sense of fun pushes all the way through this playful pastel coloured apartment, visualised by Evgenia Belkina . The home incorporates a wonderful kids’ bedroom with an integrated playroom–whilst the parents bedroom is made by dropping down a modern Murphy bed design at one end of the lounge. A stunning powder blue and pink kitchen is combined with a family dining area in the airy layout, where natural elements like wood, rattan and dried pampas grass work to offset the sweetness of the candy coloured combo. The same soft palette graces each separate space of the home to create one beautifully calm and cohesive effect.
Designer:Elena Ivanova
A blush sofa and powder blue accent chair furnish our first pastel room decor scheme, making up a soft and sweet living room design. The striking minimalist art print behind the sofa is a line drawing entitled Adunbi by Shatha Al Dafai.
Solid pastel coloured canvases are propped behind the blue accent chair , and a gold floor reading lamp , to add layers to the layout.
A gold and white side table is accessorised with candle holders and a vase of dried pampas grass.
The airy room is lit by an elegant chandelier . Long blush curtains draw across patio doors in the evening to make this a cosy and intimate space.
At night, the living room becomes a bedroom too, after a Murphy bed is dropped down into place.
Bespoke cabinetry houses the Murphy bed, and plentiful storage opportunities are built around it. The powder blue units extend into the lounge area, where they become a media unit and decorative shelving.
When the Murphy bed is folded back into place inside the cabinets, it’s impossible to tell it’s there at all.
Gold hardware gives the pastel blue units a beautiful high-end appeal.
Line drawings hide inside the pull-down bed, hung above the pillows. The wall art makes the bed area feel more like a permanent, fully-fledged bedroom.
Over on the TV wall, glass cabinets display all sorts of trinkets and a small collection of books. A set of pastel shaded decorative vases dot the top of the media cabinet with colour.
Another duo of solid pastel painted canvases colour the dining area. A gold dining room pendant light brings in a rich glow.
Blush pink seat pads soften wood dining chairs.
Monochrome flooring adds striking contrast against the subtle tones of the room.
A powder blue and pink one wall kitchen stretches alongside the family dining area. The cabinets have a classic shaker profile, and traditional corbels make a decorative addition in hiding the extractor fan.
Natural rattan baskets and dried pampas grass do a great job in offsetting the sweetness of the pastel palette.
White crockery is displayed cleanly in glass fronted upper cabinets and open fronted shelving, which lifts the expanse of blue.
Blush and blue elements enrich a small covered balcony area.
A mint beanbag makes a cosy hangout spot. A vase of feathery pampas softens hard lines.
More pastel coloured bean bags hangout in the kid’s decor scheme, where mint, pale yellow and powder blue come together to make a light and inviting space for play. Circle rugs dot the wood floor, creating little islands for activities inside a dedicated playroom that’s attached to the kid’s bedroom. Storage drawers have been built right into a step that leads up to the sleeping area, which effectively divides the two zones, along with a set of glass doors.
The cute kids’ wall mural adds another element of fun; it also helps balance out the height of the kid’s gym that towers up the adjacent wall.
A yellow pouf echoes the circle shape and fringe colour of the round area rugs.
A tall unit shelves a multitude of kids’ toy storage boxes and kids’ room accessories.
Up the step, in the sleep zone, a comfy little seat has been built into a wall of storage units.
The bed spans the opposite wall, next to a tiny desk with a kids’ night light . A duo tone wall treatment and metallic polka dots shimmer behind the cloud light .
Bunny ears perk up on the back of the kid’s chair , as if listening out for bedtime stories.
Hexagonal kids’ shelves stack to make a tower of honeycomb pattern.
A white macramé style hanging chair swings in the kid’s covered balcony area, overlooked by playful wall art.
There is also a shared kids’ room in this home. Two large desks are set up in mirror image for a pair of slightly older kids who need more dedicated study space. See more shared kids’ rooms .
Blue cupboards provide lots of stow away space for school supplies and books in the kid’s study areas. White wardrobes stand adjoined to the blue cabinets to keep the room neat and sleek.
But it can’t be all work and no fun! A TV is mounted onto the wall for downtime.
Adorable kids art swings the balance back in favour of the fun factor too.
In order to free up all that space for study, bunk beds have been stacked at one end.
A circle is painted onto one wall as a focussed gallery area.
The kids’ beds have drawers built into the stairs to the top bunk, and even more beneath the bottom bunk to maximise space for toys and clothes.
Powder blue cabinets flank the foyer design too.
A flipped and recoloured version of Blue Nude II by Henri Matisse adds a touch of pink.
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.
35. Set the Backdrop For Your Living Space
Visualizer:Sasha Zolotukhin
