The story of this home design began back when the client had the idea of situating a swimming pool in his apartment, a 477 square metre duplex in São Paulo, Brazil. Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados embraced the challenge, and proposed that a glass pool be made a novel part of the living room by amalgamating it with huge windows there. The next part of the project was to suitably house and display the homeowner’s large art collection and its future growth. To do this, a minimalist aesthetic was employed to create a gallery setting, along with a lighting scheme that would enhance the works.
Photographer:Fillippo Bamberghi
Architect Fernanda Marques reflects: “Building the pool structure was the most challenging aspect in the project. To achieve the result very thick, imported glass was used and specialized labor required to install it. Looking back, I think it was well worth it. Neither the owners nor I can imagine the apartment without it.”
The glass swimming pool is a huge feature of the luxury living room , which introduces an entire wall of aqua blue to the neutral minimalistic space. The rest of the colour comes predominantly from towering walls of vertical garden around the outside of the home, which grows stunning green and red foliage.
Fernanda Marques explains: “I designed the apartment for a couple with no children. The owner works in the financial market and is a keen art collector. He owns works by artists I greatly admire, such as Ernesto Neto, Edgard de Souza, Manoel Rio Branco, Zerbini, Tunga. The works speak directly to the issue of space – hence the importance of their placement in the project”.
The swimming pool is framed by the architecture, like a painting. “To a certain extent”, says Marques, “I think I ended up providing the home with another work of art”.
The lower level of the two storey apartment is home to the living room, dining room, and kitchen. A mezzanine level links the ground floor living room with the master bedroom. Guest bedrooms, a fitness room, an office, and access to the swimming pool are also found on the upper floor.
A large piece of art brings additional colour high on the TV wall of the double height living room. Because the main goal for the interior space was to fluidly and harmoniously display all of the client’s art collection, and leave more space to grow, a minimalist approach was the most fitting.
“I didn’t want the furniture to overwhelm the works of art, but rather to serve as support and counterpoint to them. This is the reason behind the preponderance of Brazilian designers and light colors”, explains the architect.
A wireframe sculptural chair sits by the garden view in the living room, a piece of man-made art poised in front of nature’s organic beauty.
The view from the mezzanine is impressive and peaceful.
Out on the small garden terrace, a driftwood piece adds to the natural setting.
At the other side of the garden, an external staircase gives rise to a second storey sun terrace and the upper floor of the duplex.
The concrete staircase design cuts geometric shape into the natural environment and a timber clad wall.
Mature plants in the vertical garden overhang the pale concrete and glass balustrades.
Stainless steel units make up a professional chef-style kitchen.
A luxury dining room is set for eight. The long dining tabletop balances on a single central column.
A full wall of wine storage decorates the width of the dining room, behind a wet bar, whilst sculptural art brings interest to the floor.
The interior staircase is like a piece of art within itself.
Each wooden tread rises individually from the floor at one side, and disappears into the wall at the other.
An important consideration in highlighting the sizable art collection was the lighting scheme. Where the main gallery is curated on the lower floor, a single track-lighting rail offers several multi-directional spots, with the capability of accepting more as the gallery evolves.
This gallery space leads from the dining room into the back of the apartment.
A hammock inspired chaise lounge chair gives the art lover a place to absorb the collection at leisure.
The lighting system creates dramatic pools of light and shadow.
There is a bathroom located at one end of the gallery space.
A unique pedestal sink is freestanding in front of the window, where frosted glass obscures the view.
Patio doors bring daylight into the back of the room.
The modern home office is all business. Two modern desks face into the centre of a darkly decorated study area, where bookshelves fill the wall from floor to rafters.
The mezzanine bedroom is light filled and brightly decorated. Green leafy panorama comes in through the clear glass balustrade.
Bright yellow storage units bring sunshine to each side of the bed. Decorative vases bring a splash of garden colour right inside the space too.
Of course, there is more of the homeowners’ beloved artwork in the bedroom to bring colour and character.
Area rugs are layered beneath the bed and a stylish bedroom chair.
Pilates equipment is given an enviable window position in the fitness room, with views of the swimming pool and vertical gardens.
The narrow pool design is accessed off the mezzanine master bedroom. Sunloungers rest at the water’s edge.
The main bathroom is a sleek compilation of pale stone tiles and grey marble slabs.
A luxury freestanding bathtub stretches out in front of a small courtyard filled with greenery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
