Designed for Noufal Charan, his wife, and three children, House of Noufal reflects its owners natural curiosity, open mindset, and love for traveling. The homeowners’ main desire was that their 242 square meter home should be unique, even weird, and packed with surprises. The team at 3dor Concepts combined modern architecture with traditional Kerala architecture to conjure up the climatically responsive tropical house in Pazhayangadi, Kannur. The design features a dramatically sloping roof that anchors widely into ground. This distinctive feature gives the house an unusual form, which proves practical for granting the house shelter from beating sunshine or heavy rain during the summer monsoon season.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
