Follow the upcycling trend. Not only is it great for the environment to save and reuse things that were bound for landfill, but upcycling is a cool way to create a bespoke piece of furniture that you won’t find anywhere else. This drum vanity is for sure the hero piece that sets an unmistakably industrial tone in the scheme.

Be selective. A mirror design that is mounted by a leather strap looks in keeping with an industrial bathroom scheme, and makes a smart addition against a textured concrete wall. This bathroom also has a red pendant light hung over the vanity to bring in a refreshing slice of colour.
Set among four acres of green land with areas of dense flora, a lily pond and an existing outhouse, stands a home created for the Munshaw family by architects Modo Designs . Located in Rancharda, on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, India, the design was made to avoid a rigid box formation - which the homeowners had previously inhabited. The brief was to complement a lifestyle that took place mainly outdoors, with the house playing host to a collection of paintings, artifacts, books, heirloom furniture and Persian rugs. The formation is a reimagining of an ancestral house from imagery, with fluid line that finds harmony with the nature of the land.
Photographer:Bharat Aggarwal
The curvilinear shape of the house is set to embrace the picturesque views of the lily pond. and creates an intriguing bend through interior spaces. An upper and lower verandah make up a major part of the family living space, allowing activities to be moved outdoors to soak up the garden views. The materials used over the exterior of the home are natural in appearance and rich in colour. Valsadi wood paneling and doors create the character of the facia. Aging wood and cane furniture have been renovated to grace the verandah spaces with a well established look.
A generous total of 15 feet of raised outdoor spaces and cantilevered volumes fuse the home with the peaceful landscape. The decks become the main living space during daylight hours and the twilight for the outdoor loving family.
Large expanses of retractable doors open up in order to merge the free flowing areas of the home interior with the open verandah spaces.
Interior living all takes place on one floor, with the master bedroom and the homeowners daughter’s bedroom situated on a slightly raised wing.
An established tree grows directly through the cantilevered structure of the roof edge, further melding the house with the beauty of surrounding nature.
Lush green lawns sweep away from the house perimeter, with landscaped borders planted to hug closely around the outskirts of the home.
and low coffee tables are gathered into sociable pockets along the outside of the house, providing opportunity to follow the sun - or the shade - throughout the day. A swing bench is situated on the upper deck outside of the master bedroom suite.
The various outdoor settings also allow for family members enjoying the outside space to continue to connect with those indoors, whether they are in the lounge, library or dining room.
A mid century modern living room is set around the perimeter of a Persian rug island in the centre of the home’s open plan living room. The decor palette throughout is neutral and warm, with plain white walls and ceilings setting the backdrop for earthy textiles.
A unique installation of four revolving bookcases are able to turn a blind eye of wooden back panels toward the open living room…
… Or spin on their axis to reveal the stacks. A huge wooden map of the world is mounted across the library’s white wall, with ambient lighting glowing around the borders.
When the revolving bookcases are set to a side position, there is freedom to drift from the main living room into the side snug to take up a comfortable reading chair . A librarian ladder provides access to the highest tomes.
A formal dining room resides at the opposite end of the open plan living space, set beneath a grand dining pendant light.
Sunlight filters through a skylight in the central core of the build. A combination of antique furniture and paintings plus new customised furniture are softly lit, above a highly polished Kotah stone floor.
Following the curvature of the house we happen upon a wooden staircase to the elevated bedroom level. A pair of blue pots on plant stands line the steps. The lush greenery of the indoor plants pay perfect complement to the rich woodtone of the risers, doors and interior wall panels.
A courtyard area can be accessed via the exterior glass doors by the bedroom staircase, which is used to flow natural light into this area of the home.
The bedrooms have their very own set of bi-fold doors to allow the private quarters to be opened out to the garden too.
The same glossy grey flooring used in the living areas is continued into the bedrooms, with rich woodtone flowing through.
Exterior lights are fitted into the underside of the overhanging roof to light the decks below, allowing the stunning outside space to be enjoyed longer into the evening.
Outdoor steps gently descend the slope to the large lily pond, whilst a pathway meanders around to the side of the house toward the rear bay where there is a landscaped entry court and spacious parking area.
On the home plan we can see that each of the generous bedroom suites for the mother and daughter are equipped with spacious walk-in wardrobes and private ensuite bathrooms. The home’s kitchen is situated toward the back of the property, along with a guest bathroom and extra bedroom. A store room is located in the very back leg of the home, along with a servant room. The small courtyard, which is accessed via doors at the foot of the stairs to the master bed, leads to a maid’s quarters at the other side.
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

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

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

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.

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.

25. Make Room for Keepsakes

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.

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

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!
