Mid century modern and minimalism make an easy partnership. Each embrace simple lines over ornate outlines, and lift furniture up on legs to present a more open and airy feel. Predominantly neutral color schemes with white walls, wooden floors, and elements of brown, cream and white are the perfect setting for such a fusion, as illustrated here in our three beautiful examples. Black base notes pull the aesthetic and materials of mid century modern bang up to date, whilst metallic small accent pieces add up market sheen. The abundance of negative space left around vintage furniture items lays a minimalist foundation, bringing balance between classic and contemporary ideas.

Our first marriage of two styles fills the 520 square metre interior of a mid-century modern house renovation. The home was originally built in the 1970’s by O’Neil Ford and Richard Colley, two leading architects of the American Southwest. Whilst the space was restructured, its original charm was maintained. A combination of vintage American mid century furniture was matched with modern pieces, in a clean layout that strikes a harmonious chord. The mid century modern living room uses wood and tan furniture to create a warm welcome within an all white room.
The lounge stands open to a formal dining area decorated in the same colour scheme to create a calm and easy flow.
Wooden window frames look mellow in their white setting.
A simple area rug holds the vintage furniture items together in arrangement.
A triple headed black swing arm wall lamp lights the tan sofa, adjacent book stacks, and a black mid century modern chair –which is the famous Eames style lounge chair .
The centrepiece of the lounge is an unusual round coffee table design. Its presence pulls all of the seating together, like a gravitational force.
The large glass doors pivot in their mounts to give access to a red brick terrace.
White walls present a simple foyer design, whilst stunning diamond grain in the front door steals the show. A cool tiered pendant light design, synonymous with the mid century aesthetic, helps draw the eye up toward a triangular clerestory window.
Another mid century style pendant light swings above the dining room table.
The dining room pendant light is understated so that the chunky dining suite can stand dominant.
A large home office has a bookshelf and floating drawer installation along one entire wall. A white chaise reclines under a stained glass window.
The glossy black surface of the desk/meeting table reflects the colours of the window. The vintage ambiance of the room is shook by the appearance of a modern chandelier , although its sputnik stem-like design has clear mid century roots.
Heavily veined stone encases the modern bathroom layout.
Modern taps fill the deep sided stone bath. A wall sconce shares ambient light.
The shower holds brass fixtures, a popular material in the mid century modern movement.

Our second tour is a residence in San Francisco; a 146 square meter house redesign that had not been updated since 1950. The new owner, a young businessman in the gaming industry, requested a laconic and minimalistic space for himself and his family.
The minimalist living room is a set of chairs, sofa and a floor hugging round coffee table .
Huge white cabinet doors slide away to reveal a hidden book library, and secret storage for toys.
The living room design is built with simple forms, and textures of wood, artificial leather and concrete. The double sided sofa arrangement is raised on a single plinth, like an island, or an art exhibit.
An unusual floor lamp provides reading light.
Floor-to-ceiling curtains fully encircle the creative homeowner’s Yamaha Piano, which was his only non negotiable for his family’s new minimalist home. The instrument forms the heart of the living room but can be played in a kind of solitude behind this cloak when fully closed. The piano can also be revealed to the dining room, to allow for some impromptu dinner time entertainment.
A linear chandelier stretches above a white table in the white dining room .
Flat fronted, handle free doors open to reveal a kitchen made in deeply contrasting rich wood. The concealment doors allow for the kitchen to be removed from configuration of the space entirely, presenting a full and uncomplicated dining room. This way kitchen clutter can not distract from the importance of the coveted family dinner.
When on display, the white and wood kitchen presents an interesting contrast to the not so mid century modern dining table and chairs.

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.

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.

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!
