Our bathrooms are a place where we should push the boundaries of imagination. They are our escape from the world, our private sanctuary. Bathrooms should be ceremonial spaces where we can rid ourselves of the day’s toxins, both physically and emotionally. It can be tricky to push bathroom boundaries beyond what is practical: a bathtub, a vanity, the WC. However, a bathroom can be so much more than its facilities. This fabulous collection of 51 aesthetic bathroom designs is packed with bathroom decor ideas that thrill and amaze. Botanical interludes spark wonderment for the natural world, rock bathtubs and feature walls excite awe, and unique bathroom layouts bubble with intrigue.

Sunken under the city, this bathtub allows the view to be the hero. Although, that perfectly polished concrete platform is pretty eye-catching too.

If bolder colours are your preferred path, go all out with a crisply defined colour clash. This purple wall gains classic detailing in the form of square panel moulding, whilst the modern vanity is subtly slatted.

Industrial minimalism. Utilitarian and unique, this minimalist space speaks of simplicity. Small moments of industrial-style intrigue keep the eye engaged.
Unique furniture designs add stylish wow factor turn after turn inside these two unusual minimalist home designs. Visualised by Indifference Studio , each attention-grabbing interior is styled upon a simple, pure white base that allows the more prominent pieces to proudly sing out. The designer furniture pieces take on a sculptural appeal within the gallerylike surroundings, which instils a feeling of reverence toward the extraordinary creations. With the perimeter decor taking a back seat, the eye is able to fall upon small detailing, unusual finishes, and quality workmanship. Come with us as we tour remarkable lounges, show-stopping dining rooms, minimalist bedrooms, and beautiful bathrooms.
White walls, ceiling and floor make a reflective box in which natural light is maximised. Fitted white storage cabinets continue the pure, gallery-white theme along the entire length of a TV wall in the lounge. Their handle-free, slab-fronted finish melds peacefully with the understated minimalist backdrop.
A unique, triangular floor lamp sets a cosy glow alongside the living room sofa, whilst LED ribbons paint soft perimeter light along the ceiling line.
The upholstery of the white, tufted sofa blends into the wall decor but an unusual hot red framework adds bolts of bright contrast along its base. A small side table places a moment of luxurious white marble by the arm of the couch to hold drinks but not clutter.
The large white living room rug adds texture and warm comfort underfoot.
A white, vertical radiator fits neatly down the side of the wide living room window, adding a textural accent.
A white marble coffee table is centred in the lounge space, like a monolithic blank plinth awaiting a piece of artwork.
Matching the sofa, a modern lounge chair is adorned with red framework, which cuts vividly through the pale room palette.
In contrast to the hot red accents in the lounge area, the neighbouring dining space is cooled with blue wall art.
The blue artwork is centred above a modern dining set that sports an all-white finish.
Smooth curves shape inviting dining chairs and a modern dining table .
Marble slabs and fluted glass make up a chic partition wall between the dining room and a hallway that leads to the bedrooms and bathroom. An entryway bench is fashioned here to create a handy perch/bag shelf by the front door.
A razor-thin strip of light draws a halo around the portal to the hallway.
The halo creates an optical illusion, in that it resembles a mirror’s edge. However, the illusion is shattered by a modern wall sconce that threads from the hallway to the living space.
Inside the minimalist master bedroom, the pure white decor scheme continues.
A modern bedside unit places prominent ribbed texture against the smooth white headboard design. A deep storage drawer keeps the top of the unit entirely free from clutter; only a minimalist bedside lamp is permitted.
A wall of glass bricks share natural light from the bedroom window with the neighbouring bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, a modern linear vanity unit draws across the base of the glass brick partition wall.
The second bedroom gains subtle shading from a grey upholstered bed and a geometric rug design.
Beechwood bedside units are wall-mounted to keep the floor clear and spacious.
The living room of this home design is dominated by an extraordinary neon green sofa that knots and twists across a plain white large area rug .
On the opposite side of the large area rug , a stylish tan leather lounge chair offers a comfortable reading nook.
A small side table pulls up subtly alongside the sofa, whilst a large black coffee table commands out in front.
Black and white photographic art adds interest to the clean white living room walls.
Behind the sofa, a few decorative items dot the top of a white sideboard.
The TV wall sports a textured black finish that complements a stylish Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A9 speaker. Unique black and white poufs boldly pattern the lounge layout.
A decorative vase, candles, and a record player pull black decor accents onto the white sideboard.
The white kitchen is largely concealed behind floor-to-ceiling cabinet doors.
A white kitchen island stretches out in front, holding the sink and the hob.
In front of the kitchen island, a white dining room decor scheme comes alive with elements of natural wood tone and swirling black pattern.
The upholstered dining chairs perfectly match the design of the patterned poufs in the open concept lounge.
A simple glass vase and a sprig of greenery provide a minimalist dining table centrepiece.
As we glance into the bathroom, we discover a unique stool design, wherein a rustic wooden stool is encased within clear perspex.
Inside the black and white bedroom , a cloud-shaped bedroom rug breaks up the linearity.
Modern artwork echoes the curvaceous silhouette of the rug design.
A white bedside unit contrasts sharply against the black tufted headboard design. A strip of LEDs highlight the edge of the black headboard against the white wall, elevating the high-contrast aesthetic.
A modern bedside table lamp offers bright task lighting.
Bedtime reading is stored on a sleek white sideboard that offers a balanced combination of display shelves and concealed storage.
Back the bathroom, a sleek white unique bathroom sink threads beneath a frameless vanity mirror.
The bathtub area is accessorised with a small round bathroom rug and a convenient robe hook. Built-in storage units stow away fresh towels and extra toiletries.
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.
33. Stick to the Minimalist Style for Black Kitchens
Visualizer:Miguel A. Ramos
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
