Minimalism isn’t going out of style any time soon. It’s more than just an aesthetic – it’s a philosophy, a lifestyle, and an art form. Getting started is as simple as decluttering and adopting a function-first approach to interior design but perfecting the minimalist style requires deep thought into the composition and purpose of each space. But if you’re looking for specific minimalistic design trends, black and white interiors are always a great place to begin. This post examines six homes with stunning black and white palettes and a streamlined approach to decoration.
Visualizer:ARTSTUDIO Design
Let’s start with a black and white home that tends toward the darker side. This home concept avoids middle grayscale tones within the overarching theme and instead uses them as subtle accents whenever possible. Even the artwork features a stark transition between dark and light – and the same goes for most of the furniture. Light gray stripes on the rolling shades offer the only variation from this angle.
Vertically striped chairs and wire-framed table legs echo the look of the rolling shades.
In the kitchen space, a distressed concrete backsplash adds another touch of gray.
Notice how the chairs make up their color variation through texture alone. The arrangement of silver to black bars on the far shelf is fabulously inspiring.
The hallway has a variety of functional details, ranging from the low-profile waiting bench to the diving wall made of matte black storage cabinets.
A wider variety of gray shades appear in the bedroom design. Although minimalistic in terms of decoration, this space feels warm and comfortable with its dark wood floors and generous use of layered textiles.
Sliding doors hide the television when not in use.
Brown blown glass bedside lamps bring out the warm tones of the rugged wooden floors.
Like the living room, this space features artwork that embodies the full range of monochromatic tones used nearby.
The tripod candleholders are a 2005 design by Naoto Fukasawa.
Here’s a look at the guest suite. This space incorporates a bright accent color – orange – in contrast to the homogenous themes found elsewhere.
The small sectional sofa arrangement could double as a convenient guest bed.
Adjustable task lighting projects far into the room. This lamp is from the 265 collection by Paolo Rizzatto.
The oversized candles to the right were designed by Jean-Marie Massaud.
Here’s a look at the exterior balcony, outfitted with the same matte black treatment as the rest of the home. The lamp is a design by Knut Bendik Humlevik and Rune Krøjgaard.
The dark theme makes this space feel close and comfortable even with an unbeatable surrounding view.
This home tour ends with a peek at the bathrooms with their immensely sophisticated dark interior design.
Golden indirect lighting imbues this space an air of luxury that guests are sure to remember.
Note the carved surface on the interior of the bathtub.
Here’s the secondary bathroom – this design features a more industrial aesthetic than the previous one.
Here, the lighting is toned down and the metallic accents are played up.
Architect:Andrzej Chomski
This next home takes a completely different approach, with bright white surfaces allowing the modest 75 square meter interior to feel as open and spacious as possible. Light wooden floors lend a sense of warmth and the textural sofa beckons visitors to sit down and soak up the positive ambiance. Talented architect Andrzej Chomsk designed this space for a tasteful middle-age couple.
Note how the bedroom parallels the living room theme with precision, with the main piece of furniture embracing high texture and the walls maintaining a pristine white treatment.
A look at the hallway reveals classically styled paneling in contrast to minimalistic storage solutions.
Streamlined accommodations allow the kitchen’s bold contrast to stand out as its defining feature.
The breakfast bar is especially clever – ideal for serving directly from pan to plate. The geometric breakfast stools are from the Chair One series by Konstantin Grcic.
add a dash of color no kitchen could do without.
Architect:Andrzej Chomski
Glossy white surfaces and abundant lighting give this compact apartment a rather surreal quality. Crisp clean lines are perfectly in line with the ideals of minimalism – no unnecessary elements, very little extraneous decoration, perfectly streamlined for functionality. It’s compact and efficient without looking like an efficiency apartment.
The bedroom area is tucked away in its own little cove, surrounded by integrated storage on all sides. Rather than a headboard, the low-profile bed centers on a black and white photo of a natural scene. Do check out more of these minimalist bedrooms if you are into this style.
Black lines carry the eye along the path of the hallway, raising only to meet the doors.
Natural decor brings organic elegance to an otherwise stark environment.
Greenery always makes a fabulous accent.
Before we move on to the next home, here’s a peek at the bathroom. Minimalism clearly takes precedence here, with only a simple arrangement of supplies for color.
Undefine
Architect:Andrzej Chomski
Brilliant! This home prioritizes its surroundings with spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior doesn’t compromise an ounce of design to suit this need – instead, it creates a comfortable grayscale oasis that complements the urbanistic themes found in the exterior courtyards. Expertly shaped trees draw the attention outward while smart interior stylings satiate the soul.
Marble floors make an incredible first impression.
Here, the marble floors continue along the hallway flanked by windows on one side and matte black storage units on the other.
Even the exterior wall seems like part of the interior, its smooth white surface providing the perfect canvas for verdant expression.
Smoky mountains and a potted centerpiece bring the organic influence indoors.
Here’s a better view of the kitchen in full, with the black cabinetry and geometric chairs making a definite statement.
A view from the exterior reveals the all-encompassing minimalism that defines this home inside and out.
Architect:Andrzej Chomski
This home also features a bold emphasis on the surrounding view – this time the nearby apartments provide the decorative backdrop to the interior’s dedicated sense of minimalism. Marble floors set a sophisticated tone and stylishly simple furniture allows attention to focus on the exquisite architecture outside.
A row of open shelves allows the occupant a little room for self-expression and color. Although perfectly coordinated white-bound books seem popular in minimalistic interior design, this arrangement looks much more realistic.
It’s nice to see some eclectic influence in a home as sleek as this.
When working within a minimalistic interior, every detail matters.
Even the doors seem to blend into the background without a single flaw.
More colorful books appear in the bedroom. Like the rest of the home, this space features dark furniture against a backdrop of pristine white surfaces.
Open shelves occupy a higher place on the wall to counterbalance the low-profile bed arrangement.
The smooth bed platform continues across the headboard wall to serve as side table with plenty of space for decoration.
Carefully chosen textiles are undoubtedly luxe but give off a surprisingly humble attitude.
Architect:Andrzej Chomski
Within this apartment, you’ll notice many details repeated from the previous homes. The same matte black cabinetry, the same versatile furniture, and even some of the same furniture makes another appearance here – a great example of how a new arrangement and setting can completely change the overall feeling of a space despite similar influences.
Remember this distinctive kitchen island setup? Here, it’s part of an open floor plan rather than residing in its own separate area. If you are looking for similar black and white kitchen themes, do check out our post: 40 Beautiful Black and White Kitchens .
Stylish recessed lighting reduces the need for decorative fixtures.
In the uncomplicated white bathroom, marble floors and blank white walls focus all attention toward the excellent outdoor view.
A full mirrored backsplash makes the sink area feel infinite in scope.
Note the simplicity of the fixtures – it’s impossible to have a fully streamlined space without giving due attention to such small yet crucial details.
Visualizer:Jelena Stojanović
Compared to the other homes in this post, this space definitely embraces the full range of grayscale possibilities. It’s not traditionally minimalist, but rather a minimalistic take on traditional interior design. Classic and modernistic elements combine to form a space that is visually engaging without overwhelming the eye.
Deep textures, wire accents, and bold patterns draw the eye. Each element is carefully implemented with balance as a top priority.
Exposed brick is extremely popular, and these walls translate that desired sense of weathered authenticity with carefully coordinated shades of gray paint and black mortar.
A very occasional pop of natural wood helps to warm the space, and stands in bold contrast to the cooler gray tones used throughout.
What happens when artwork takes center stage in a home? Rather than adding art as an afterthought, even a single favored piece can easily serve as a perfect anchor for the rest of the room. The following images explore a variety of ways to make home artwork serve as more than just a focal point, but as a unifying feature within an interior design. The techniques employed here are clever and diverse: some of these interior artwork ideas perfectly complement the color palette , others unify the design theme, and some enhance the character of the structure itself.
Via:Applico
An unforgettable interior style – this living room pairs a full wall mural with a floor so polished it reflects its surroundings like glassy water on a calm day. This is a thematically comprehensive interior for those dedicated to art but who have a separate space to display individual pieces.
Visualizer:Svyatyuk Stanislav
And a look at our last interior – this warm hued painting pops out among the cooler greenish-gray tones that make up this modernistic living room.
Visualizer:Javier Wainstein
Where a television would normally stake out its territory, a dramatic black and gray painting makes its mark instead. Its weighty tone draws the eye immediately.
Visualizer:Alla Kogan
Dramatic, minimalistic, and perfectly coordinated – this large print does well to center the living space and blends seamlessly with the rest of the interior accents.
Visualizer:AX2 Studio
Although the painting centered above the sofa could certainly stand alone, its visual impact is enhanced by the natural wood tones and light brown accents used throughout the living room.
Visualizer:Bray Artist
Portraits with fluid organic lines compliment the curved shapes found in the table, rug, and potted tree. Sharp geometric forms stand in contrast.
Visualizer:Ricardo Ferreira
Such an interesting living room! The interior-themed artwork adds a layer of meta awareness that makes its presence quite novel.
Visualizer:Le Anh
A patchwork miniature bulldog brings out all of the most delicate patterns used within this chic blue-toned interior. Even without the sparing accents, the artwork would still stand on its own as a charismatic focal point.
Visualizer:Pavel Petrov
Primary colors aren’t the easiest theme for a designer to adopt. This painting defines the overall theme while the bright furniture accentuates the yellow accents.
Visualizer:Koneksign
At the end of a long open floor plan, a colorful pink and blue painting gives the eye a place to rest and focus.
Visualizer:Azovskiy & Pahomova Architects
Bold and beautiful! The furniture continues the spectrum of color used in the floral wall art, rather than acting as a direct continuation. Thematically, the curvaceous furniture pairs well with the blossoms that thrive on the central volume.
Visualizer:Razvan Barsan + Partners
This living room does away with traditional conventions altogether. A dramatic impressionist ship joins a group of carefully arranged frames on the right, with functional wall art in the form of a clock to the left.
Visualizer:Ricardo Ferreira
Playful pop art prints featuring Michael Jackson offer a charming response to this rustic-meets-industrial living room theme. The metallic chrome swing arm wall lamp adds a hint of luxury to the space as well.
Visualizer:Denis Melnik
Ever wondered how to coordinate an interior around two very dissimilar art styles? This space provides welcome inspiration. It’s an eclectic interior but pulls together around the ambiance of the artwork chosen.
Visualizer:Studio DEnew
In this living room, the artwork makes the first impression without a doubt. Colorful furniture complements the print without completely emulating its style or color palette. The unique coffee table made of wooden blocks seals the look.
Visualizer:Pivot Studio
Striking but not overwhelming; this choice complements the aesthetic of the resident’s book collection but stands alone as a fine piece to appreciate.
Visualizer:Aurélien BRION
Color matching often proves to be the most straightforward way to incorporate artwork into the home. This space benefits from neutral basics, with the colorful accents easy to change out in case the artwork changes.
Visualizer:Anton Kostetskiy
Decorating an atrium or other tall room is rather difficult. While procuring a large vertical painting might prove difficult, the result is well worth the search.
Designer:Azam Mohamed
This formal living room switches up the common aesthetic of paneled walls and smooth artwork in favor of paneled artwork and smooth walls.
Via:Walloza
Although this living room has a solidly-defined color theme, the bright rainbow sofa pillows completely change the overall look.
Visualizer:Azovskiy & Pahomova Architects
Gorgeous! Here, the light tones on the geometric prints stand out against their neutral backdrop. Rich furniture textures seem to complement the artwork rather than the other way around.
Via:ProjetUAll
Gorgeous! Here, the light tones on the abstract prints stand out against their neutral backdrop. Rich furniture textures seem to complement the artwork rather than the other way around.
Via:Gutarev Vlad
A great example of a print that matches both the aesthetic and the attitude of a room – it’s youthful, fun, and playfully aware. Nobody can frown near a pop art likeness of SpongeBob, right?
Visualizer:Gutarev Vlad
A great example of a print that matches both the aesthetic and the attitude of a room – it’s youthful, fun, and playfully aware. Nobody can frown near a pop art likeness of SpongeBob, right? The shawl on the ottoman coffee table adds to the coziness. The black and white rug mirrors the color of the art piece.
Visualizer:Nicolas JOUSLIN
Grayscale themes allow the stark black-and-white artwork to pop out from the background. The tiny golden accent springs to life thanks to the pair of dandelion yellow accent chairs .
Visualizer:Sequoia design studio
In this interior, classic materials and furniture play against a dramatic industrial background enhanced by modern pop art. Also, what a comfy lounge chair !
Visualizer:ARTSTUDIO Design
Light and shadow provide the overarching theme in this apartment living room – and the stunning artwork in the background enhances the effect. Even if the image weren’t perfectly coordinated in terms of color, the theme itself would still help to carry the interior.
Designer:Nikita Ryazhko
A sketch of Steve Jobs joins a stunning abstract ink print, both with organic influences to balance out the strict geometric theme used throughout this aesthetic living room .
Visualizer:Innovattio Architektura
Photographic prints lend themselves well to this eclectic living room interior. A monochromatic art collection is less complicated to work with, easily adaptable to any style. The unique floor lamp you see here is Solveig by designer Avril de Pastre.
Visualizer:Adrian Iancu
This home doesn’t base its interior around the artwork, but instead remains relatively neutral – a sort of blank canvas that accommodates any style the residents want to achieve. The single yellow pillow ties back into the overall theme.
Visualizer:Julia Borisenko
Here a mixed-media canvas plays into the structural interior features, like the transition between darker and lighter wood between the living room and kitchen. Gray highlights draw attention to the textured wall and deconstructed forms contrast against the straight lines of the furniture.
Visualizer:Andrew Sokruta
This bold painting stands in contrast with the sharp and precise angles of the nesting coffee tables to great effect.
Bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment with a new interior design style. They tend to be private and set away from the rest of the home, a wonderful catalyst of personal expression. Today’s top bedroom trends are bolder and more adventurous than ever so there’s never been a better time to explore the possibilities. This post looks at seven attractive bedrooms in detail, ranging from classic to contemporary to minimalistic and eclectic. A few of these bedroom styles would be easy to recreate while others exemplify the highest standard of precision design – yet each one offers useful inspiration.
Visualizer:Elena Zhulikova
This first bedroom utilizes an ecological theme contrasted with perfectly contemporary styling. A lush vertical garden and angled wood panels create an atmosphere few would be soon to forget – and while these features might be the most difficult to emulate, they’re certainly not impossible to adapt.
The dichotomy between organic materials and refined forms is even more apparent from this angle with the smooth white paneling, knotty wooden door, and distressed matte black wall.
Every surface reveals an unparalleled attention to detail. Note the layered paneling on the entertainment wall and how it seamlessly conceals the extra storage space hidden inside.
Backlit panels bring out the deep grooves of the accent wall – gorgeous even in the daytime.
This geometric rug ties the space together nicely, and the chair offers the perfect splash of cheerful yellow.
Visualizer:N-Gon Archviz
This is a proposed design for a sophisticated apartment in Bucharest, its amazing urban view framed by a relaxing natural interior with lots of varied wood tones. Smooth round forms mingle with the primarily straight lines and precise angles for a very balanced aesthetic overall.
Unique features include the open marble-walled bath area to the left, and the concrete-framed windows to the right. The centerpiece is a headboard wall composed of backlit wood panels, a fresh take on the strategy employed by the first bedroom.
Visualizer:Penint Studio
Here’s an updated take on the chic cottage style decorated in soft gray with lavishly layered textures, the cool tones illuminated by yellow light for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The horizontal wood paneling in the background creates an undeniably luxurious feeling despite the humble textiles and uncomplicated decoration.
Simple wooden furniture and cool vintage-inspired lamps offer a subtle mix of Asian and Scandinavian design influence.
Bicycles hung in lieu of headboards seems to be a hot trend these days: ideal for a vintage bike too precious to ride, or an attractive bike that just doesn’t fit your riding style
The opposite wall drops the vintage facade and reveals an ultramodern wall treatment, glossy white with a perforated effect.
An occasional pop of orange and a handful of copper furniture adds just the right amount of color.
Interesting materials allow the far wall to express a very distinctive style, falling somewhere between minimalist modern and a streamlined interpretation of art deco.
Visualizer:Le Anh
It’s hard to find a color palette more comforting than a dark and smooth grayscale theme like this one. While darker colors are harder to incorporate into the more public areas of a home, they’re perfectly suited to a private and intimate space like the bedroom.
A dramatic curved window bay and classically styled furniture create an interesting juxtaposition against the ultra-modern features like the geometric floor design and contemporary wall paneling.
Subtle blue stripes in the rug bring out the coolness of the gray tones used throughout. A very soothing theme overall!
Visualizer:Svetlana Nezus
Textured wall treatments require some investment of both time and money, but the results are incomparable. This bedroom is centered an incredibly intricate headboard wall illuminated by cove lighting on all sides for a fabulous drama of lighting and shadow. The rest of the space remains simple and streamlined so the main focal point can enjoy the attention it deserves.
Here, you can easily see the effect of ambient lighting on the deep valleys and ridges of the wall panel. The warm lighting pairs well with mauve interior accents, although the mauve would be easy to change since the surrounding palette leans toward the neutral and natural side.
Visualizer:Zoe Tee
This bedroom suits a very eclectic and classical taste, designed for a young couple that collects art. Incorporating artwork is a little easier with a grayscale or neutral color theme but these residents took their chances with bright hues that reflect the tones favored by their artist of choice: in this case, Picasso.
Picasso reproductions featured here include Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907) and The Dream (1932). Even the shapes of the furniture seem to reflect the gorgeous curves so famously captured in the paintings.
One of the neatest features is the lovely little tea table for discussing the day ahead. The chairs are from the Contour series by Grant Featherston, shown here in cheerful robin’s egg blue.
A thin partition wall houses a dramatic stone fireplace mantle. It gives off a classic and artistic vibe well in line with the rest of the room.
Visualizer:Guilherme Alexandre
Our final bedroom is spacious, light, and airy, enhanced by its tall gable ceiling and expansive skylight window. The stark white theme is especially striking because of the functional storage wall in the background – the black shadowy lines seem almost like a contour drawing just waiting for the imagination to draw in the details.
The bed makes a distinctively warm impression with its smooth wooden frame and mocha textiles. The yellow pendant lights hanging above are from the E27 collection by Mattias Ståhlbom.
Because the room has such a large amount of extra storage cabinets, the resident can get by with a sparse amount of furnishings. This room pares its furnishings down to a simple set of bedside tables with convenient adjustable task lighting.
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
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

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
