Make a green view really pop. As red and green are on opposite sides of the colour wheel, they create high contrast when put side by side. Frame your green garden view with red interior walls, floors and ceiling.
Designer:Anthony Gill
Shiny red bathroom tiles cup the view of outdoor greenery in this one.

Red as a classic colour. Red wainscot and boiserie look the business in a bathroom. This traditional styling works best with traditional silhouettes for toilets and sinks. Complete the look with a set of elegant wall sconces, and a black and white tiled floor.

Red razzmatazz. Red carpets are rolled out at big showbiz bashes, so we associate the rich colour with a bit of glitz and glamour. Make your own showstopper with ruby red bathroom walls, a unique red accent chair, and one Hollywood-worthy chandelier in the starring role.

Roll out your own red carpet. Once you’ve created an award worthy feature, roll out a red bathroom rug to beat a path to it.

Red and black baroque. Go heavy on elaborate ornamentation and decoration to create your very own piece of baroque. Choose densely patterned tiles, candelabra wall sconces, and a boldly baroque inspired vanity mirror.
Designer:Balbek Bureau
Look into the light. Solid red decor can have a darkening effect, especially in a small space, so be sure to install ample light to keep the bathroom at a comfortable level for your needs. The solid light box frame around this double sink bathroom vanity mirror is electrifying.
Visualizer:Diff
Alternate the wall treatment with tone and texture. This red and black bathroom uses areas of solid red and black decor interspersed with grey marbled slab. The marbled effect spills out across the floor to unite the room.

This remarkable marbled red wall brings organic pattern and movement.

Use red as zoning, like this dark red tiled shower enclosure.
Visualizer:Tomek Michalski
Decorate in palatable proportions. A very large luxury bathroom benefits from plenty of ‘air’ being put through strong colour. Get bold with one red feature wall, then use a few well placed colourful elements to accentuate the rest of the room.
Visualizer:Rustem Urazmetov
Play with proportion! Decorating a small bathroom vanity in a solid contrasting colour can distract from size limitations.
Visualizer:Slava Korchagin
Colour a base band. Install red vanity cabinets and matching tiles at consistent height around the base of a red and white bathroom scheme, to create a solid bright band.
Visualizer:Stanislav Ananev
The colour arrangement is flipped on it head this time around, with a red band wrapping the upper half of the room scheme. Crisp black and white geometric tiles vie for attention down on the floor.
Brighten up the bathroom furniture. Bright red bathroom furniture will create a buzz in the plainest of bathrooms. Buy a brand spanking new red bathroom set, or give a face lift to pieces you already own with a coat of primer and paint. Pops of color within a large bathroom look great.
Visualizer:Artem Tafy
No more drab doors. Colour coordinate the bathroom door and cabinet doors in the same red hue as the walls for a totally cohesive finish.

A Mondrian inspired interior design may quench a thirst for red decor, with its primary colours and solid shapes.
Visualizer:Delcon USA
Another take on the Mondrian bathroom theme.
Visualizer:Lemonade Studio
A subtler take on cubism. This time just a few black and white blocks cross a solid red wall, but the abstract style is still distinctive.
Visualizer:Kirill Vill
Two types of tile, two strong colours.
Visualizer:Zarysy
Dampen down bright red bathroom walls with a grey ceiling and grey floors. Natural wood tone also helps to balance out the vibrancy.

Glam up red furniture with golden hardware. This red and gold bathroom furniture has a high contrast teal background to amplify its colour.
Visualizer:Rina Lovko Studio
Make hero pieces stand out in more ways than one. The vanity unit in this white bathroom stands out not only because of its bright red colour, but because of its unique cantilevered design that cuts into the centre of the room.
Visualizer:Vladislava Torgonsky
In a shadowy red and black bathroom, red accents have an almost luminous effect.
Visualizer:Marco Podrini
Use colour to as a connective tool. Red siding on this shower unit becomes an integral part of the vanity unit, giving the bathroom layout better connection and flow.

Rain ruby red from a skylight. The natural light from velux windows or a skylight will highlight the lustre of red mosaic tiles or a textured glossy red tile.

Red as an earth tone. A muted red and brown bathroom feels laid back and natural, especially with some authentic timber elements to enhance it. Arrange indoor plants all around the bathtub to really get closer to nature. This red bathtub sits sensitively within the colour scheme, with just a white inner shell for a touch of freshness.

Same red bathtub finish, different look. This elongated red tub is staged on a white marble platform, whilst red geo pattern dances across surrounding tiles. Light grey wainscot makes a sophisticated border.
Visualizer:CCI Renovations
Don’t be hemmed in. You don’t have to take your red feature wall all the way to the ceiling if the height is too overpowering–this one levels out at the same height as the window on the opposite wall.
Visualizer:ArtPartner Architects
Dark red and dramatic. Dark red everything, with just a few black accents, makes a wonderfully moody setting. Light floor tiles prevent the look from becoming oppressive, despite the darkened ceiling.
Visualizer:Tamara Batsmanova
Another dramatic red bathroom from the darker end of the scale, with a lighter floor to keep things airy.
Visualizer:Art Group by Vasilkova Daria
Start and end your day in a work of art. Think photographic wall murals, graphic floor tiles and unique decorative mirrors.

Go geo. Geometric tiles jostle for attention behind colour contrasting mirrors in this red and green bathroom. Red geometric pendant lights hover above a red bath.

Carve out a red ensuite. This boxy red design visually separates the ensuite bathroom from the bedroom, without having an actual solid wall between the two at all.

Use strong red elements to balance out deeply patterned monochrome decor.

Make plants into decor heroes by choosing planters that carry the colour of the room.
This attention grabbing home design, looking luminous in photography by Sergey Krasyuk , is brimful with colour and chic modernity. Every room, every hallway, every corner is packed with shades of teal, blue, coral, yellow, orange and green decor, plus lush living greenery, to create a sunny and personality packed interior. The resplendent rooms are laid out with modern designer furniture, unusual decorative pieces, bold artworks and wall murals that provide something more and more beautiful to wonder at around every turn. Metallic touches are brought in through modern chandeliers and gold trims to build a luxurious feel, whilst natural wooden elements bring balance within bright contrasting schemes.
Teal brickwork towers up a double height living room, to meet with a herringbone patterned wood clad ceiling. A book stack reaches up toward the rafters too, making use of the impressive room height. A librarians ladder makes the highest shelves easily accessible.
A cobalt blue sofa works the angles of the room, skirting around a huge blue and purple area rug design. A purple ottoman fills the centre of the expansive floor space.
An orange floor lamp and a teal chaise lounge chair make a cosy spot to read, or listen to music on the red retro style record player.
Two blue accent chairs recline by the fireside, perfectly positioned for warming up on chilly evenings. A glass sided staircase injects another large blue accent into the open plan living space, giving rise to a glass balustrade landing and the bedrooms.
A floral wall mural blasts bright coral and green accents into the dining area. Light grey modern dining chairs and a matching table sit quietly in the foreground.
A gold modern chandelier tones prettily with the warm coral accents of the art behind it.
Gold candlesticks bring the metallic accent down onto the table.
A floral table centrepiece ties in with the botanical backdrop. The wall art continues beyond the glass doors that exit to the hallway of the home, where a neon sign declares that “Life is beautiful”.
Doors at the opposite end of the dining table take us through into the kitchen.
Pale grey and gold kitchen bar stools line up on top of a soft gold toned area rug.
A carafe perches on a live edge wood breakfast bar that brings in its own hint of golden hue. The natural wood accent is echoed in a chunky cutting board on the black marble peninsula.
cabinets make up the remainder of the room, with a set of black painted drawers breaking the run beneath the hob and black cooker hood. A black marble farmhouse sink has been teamed with a luxe black and gold kitchen tap.
Green cabinetry continues to reign supreme inside a small games room with a bar.
Yellow window drapes bring sunshine to the indoor pool room even on the dullest day. Their effect doubles in the reflection of the water.
A long window seat disguises the radiators inside a turquoise kid’s room. Pink and purple accents build energised contrast through bird print wallpaper and soft furnishings.
Botanical prints pattern a sideboard with green and blue, against a pink shiplap wall. A huge round mirror is mounted at mid-height to elevate the stylish vista, with two green wall sconces balanced at either side.
A pink decorative vase offers another opportunity to add in extra natural greenery. A light pink accent chair waits nearby.
The shiplap wall in the bedroom has been given a pale green treatment this time. A tan faux-leather headboard contrasts attractively against the cool paint tone.
A black swing arm wall lamp extends from the green wall to match with a black bedroom chair and monochrome rug.
The second bedroom has a sunnier palette of deep yellows and oranges. Indoor plants grow natural greenery in every direction.
A wood 4 poster bed tones warmly with the sunny decor. See more 4 poster beds .
On the other side of an archway in the bedroom, a dressing area is laid out with a teal vanity table and yellow desk chair . Yellow artwork on the dressing table pulls the two contrasting elements together.
A magnificent floral wall mural blooms behind the grand 4 poster bed, depicting giant petals around the draped bed canopy.
Black swing arm wall lamps bring elements of strong modernity to the softly romantic scene.
Mid century modern inspired bedsides stand in the same golden brown wood tone as the bed.
A cast iron radiator gives a classic vibe to the WC, though its pale grey paint job brings it bang up to date. Grey stained shiplap clads the bathroom walls, colouring a calm and serene space.
The toilet area of the shower room can be closed off behind frosted glass sliding doors. The same black window panes are employed to build the shower enclosure, but with crystal clear glazing instead. A rustic wooden bench seat holds clean towels and discarded clothing off the floor. Huge planters flank either side of the bench, holding mature plants that soften the corners of the room.
The smaller bathroom has a yellow interior , with yellow painted shiplap and a cheerful yellow step stool that climbs the side of the tub. A coral rug lends another bright colour to the cheerful scheme.
The black framed shower enclosure design is repeated here, but on a much smaller scale. White subway tiles surround the built-in bathtub, and form a shelf along the back of it on which to display decorative items and art.
Another yellow bathroom has a gorgeous patterned tile wall behind a double sink bathroom vanity , where amber bathroom vanity lights are strewn on bold black electrical wire.
The wooden boards of the vanity are stained in different shades to build a beautiful striped effect. White vessel basins top the wooden cabinet with a clean and fresh finish.
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

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

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.
