Lofts are a versatile solution to a number of complicated interior design problems. In small apartments, they can expand usable space while putting vertical real estate to good use. In luxury homes, they can provide a playful and youthful alternative to traditional layouts. In open layout interiors , they can provide privacy without the need for obstructive interior walls. And the list goes on! This post examines three stylish apartments with enviable lofted bedrooms – each one taking a unique approach that reflects the character of their respective interiors. Which one is your favorite?
While the white dining set blends into its background for a streamlined appearance, the yellow sofa stands out strong against the exposed brick .
Sometimes designers struggle to give modern white kitchens their own distinctive character, but this space has it in spades – especially charming are the eclectic handle pulls and mounted decorative plates.
Now let’s take a look at the bedroom. It’s accessible from a simple ladder, freeing up a substantial amount of space that a staircase would normally occupy.
A small wooden headboard continues the natural theme from the main floor. There isn’t much room for furniture like side tables or lamps, leaving nothing to distract from restful sleep.
The bathroom uses the same vertical tiles as the kitchen, a unique alternative to the subway tiles so popular today.
The dining area is especially adorable, a simple table flanked by a pair of Drop Chairs, an iconic design by Arne Jacobsen.
Visualizer:Curly studio
Here’s another living space with unique architecture – its floor plan is compact but the ceilings are exceptionally high, the perfect setting for a lofted bedroom. The open floor plan allows for a sense of visual continuity that fosters the interior’s spacious and airy atmosphere. It may not be a sprawling home by any means, but it certainly doesn’t feel cramped in the slightest. The loft itself is located above the kitchen volume, with the bathroom hidden underneath, a smart use of space all around.
To make the most of the open vertical space, the designer chose to fill the void with functional decorative objects, like dinnerware on the open shelving and dining pendants hanging above the table.
Gabled ceilings can sometimes make attic bedrooms feel a little claustrophobic. Here, the problem is avoided with abundant windows.
In fact, there is hardly any boundary between the indoors and out. The resident can always step outside for fresh air on the balcony.
The bathroom features a sleek white and wood theme, with plenty of lights recessed into the ceiling – an important feature considering the lack of windows in contrast to the rest of the home.

The living and dining areas share the same space, giving up only a corner to a handsome balcony atrium. Glass walls allow the light to flood the interior.
Exciting patterns and yellow accents draw the eye immediately. It’s a versatile space - the simple pair of wine glasses could just as easily be coffee cups, a laptop, or a relaxing book.
The yellow and grey theme unifies the outdoor balcony with the interior decor. Sticking with one accent isn’t easy, but the payoff can be incredibly satisfying.
From above, it’s easy to see how compact this floor plan really is.
The compact kitchen offers several inspiring space-saving techniques, like the fold-out work table and the attractive open shelves.
Attractive dinnerware and cookware is a must-have when it comes to kitchens with exposed storage. Even the cutting boards are handsome – and sure to prove useful with the tiny herb garden!
Each pot is equipped with a beautiful plant stand . Small details like these can make all the difference in a streamlined interior like this.
Visualizer:Valentin Turuianu
Thanks to its generous windows and impressive ceiling height, this home doesn’t feel restrictive at all – but the floor plan itself is surprisingly compact. It’s a luxurious retreat in the middle of the city and does its best to foster a comfortable environment with creative layout techniques, including a hidden bedroom atop a lofted platform near the entrance of the apartment. This conservative use of space allows plenty of room for entertaining, projects, and eliminates anything that could get in the way of its distinctive urban view.
Cantilever stairs lead to the loft. Yellow metal mesh ensures the staircase is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional.
The same wire screens – this time in white – serve as the headboard for the bed and railing for the loft. Bedroom decor remains minimal, just a pair of Jielde-inspired task lamps and an Eames House Bird replica .
A handsome home office also occupies the loft, accompanied by a well-equipped library. Its view of the tall vertical garden and neighboring facades surely prove inspiring for creative tasks.

With a slanted ceiling and just 19 square meters of floor space, this compact apartment navigates its restrictions with a smart multipurpose layout to make the best of the given situation. Its handsome interior architecture provides enough visual appeal to reduce the need for extraneous decoration while its abundant storage options hide away any clutter – an inspiring space for aspiring minimalists.
The living room, dining room, and kitchen share the main volume, while the bedroom occupies a loft at the opposite end of the apartment above the entrance.
An exposed brick accent wall and warm wood details keep the room feeling cozy. Because of these features, the designer chose to restrict other accent colors – most cabinetry and furniture remains neutral, but the cheerful yellow sofa serves as a strong visual anchor.
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.

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

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.

11. Layer Gray and Gold

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
