When it comes to the use of wood in interior design, most rely on flooring and furniture to incorporate this natural element. Yet in this light and bright apartment designed and visualized by Svoya Studio , wood takes center stage as it appears in walls, ceilings, floors, and in gorgeous mid-century modern furnishings. Located in Ukraine’s Dnipro, this apartment feels airy as it brings together neutrals, fresh textures, and of course, stunning light woods.
In the modern living room , light streams in from the floor to ceiling windows, casting sunshine over the large sofas, minimalist coffee table, and unique floor lamps .
One of the most playful parts of the space is that of the modern sofa , which uses a knitted texture, like a scarf or sweater, to create visual interest. It is unique and brings softness to some of the more angular elements of the room.
In the workspace, built-ins around the computer desk give plenty of space for books, media, and magazines.
Another large sofa with cozy cushions runs along a light wood wall that ties in beautifully with the other woods in the space, including the shelves and flooring. The nesting coffee tables tuck neatly away if more space is needed, but for now, they are perfect for holding a coffee or cup of tea.
In the dining area, a cascading chandelier hangs over a light wood table surrounded by modern dining chairs. The open floor plan offers a full view of the kitchen.
The kitchen, small in footprint, makes up for it in striking style. Three bar stools line the island, which is finished in a cool gray that also matches the walls. A metallic circular range hood and open shelving adds additional visual interest.
In the bedroom, a wooden accent wall brings the light woods found in the living and work areas into the space. A large mirror rests against the wall, reflecting the light streaming from the bedroom, which is completely open and steps from the bed.
On either side of the bed, bedroom pendant lights hang above small side tables that are curvy in their pedestal shape.
Across the bed, a comfortable reading chair rests near the floor to ceiling windows. More light streams in throughout this open and airy space. Even so, there are floor reading lamps close by for adding even more illumination.
The large, luxury bathroom is finished simply in striking white.
On either side of the sink and vanity, there are glass entries to the toilet and shower areas, leaving just enough room for a decorative accent table.
In another bedroom, woods make their return in the form of accent walls. For a pop of color, the design uses indoor plants and graphic prints placed on the floor.
At the center of the space is a large platform bed in gray linens with two decorative poufs at its feet. The bedroom chair draws the eye toward the large windows enrobed in soft sheers.
In the modern home office area of the bedroom, a compact computer desk is positioned in its own nook with a sleek rolling chair and open shelving.
In another bathroom, a wood modern bathroom vanity gives the space an overall spa-like quality. Open shelving gives plenty of space for towels and toiletries.
The unique bathroom pendant lights are similar to the cascading dining area chandelier and add a pop of interest against the white and light wood backdrop.
Rather than rely on traditional railings, this design uses a glass wall to enclose the lower half of the balcony without obstructing the view.
The balcony is a showstopper with a living wall of greenery, potted shrubs, an airy sun shade, and an incredible view of the city below.
Picking the right sink for your bathroom can be an overwhelming choice with the flurry of options available. Which one is right for you? A sleek undermount, a space saving pedestal, a colorful vessel? Whether you are looking for elegance, charm or a more artistic vibe, your sink can be an irreplaceable ally that enhances your bathroom and helps you reach your design goals.

Sits on top of the countertop, like a bowl sits on a table. The bottom of the sink is often flush with the countertop, but it can sometimes be sunk an inch or two beneath the surface. Drop-In Sink: Also called a self-rimming sink, this type of sink has an outer rim that sits atop the counter and holds the sink in place. This is a common type of sink due to how easy it is to change out without replacing the entire countertop. Undermount Sink: Installed underneath the counter. A precise hole must be cut in the countertop to accommodate this sink. This means that they are harder to change out without replacing the countertop. Vanity Top Sink: A single piece countertop that has the sink built-in. As a rule of thumb, go with one that is about an inch bigger than your vanity to create a slight overhang. Wall-Mounted Sink: A type of sink that requires no vanity and can be installed directly on the wall. Great for bathrooms with minimal space. Pedestal Sink: A free standing sink that is supported by a column. Another great option for small bathrooms. Console Sink: A wall mounted sink that has the addition of 2 or 4 extra legs.

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.

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.

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
