Spanning 750 square metres in the Moscow region, Russia, this luxury home is filled with modern glamour. Gold and green accents warm a cool grey colour scheme, shaped by modern designer furniture inspired by classic concepts. Visualised by Vizline Studio , the tour takes us on a journey of a chic open plan living room with a golden fireplace, some unique lighting ideas, and a seriously sophisticated home office design with a lounge. Stunning sliding doors reveal a sleek minimalist kitchen layout that’s made decorative with a wall of open kitchen shelving and a comfortable dining nook. The ground floor tour is topped off with a gorgeous lobby and pool house, plus two small and stylish bathrooms.

The luxury living room is a tonal banquet of black, grey, gold and white. A huge modern sofa fills the centre of the space, wrapping the lounge layout on two sides.

Two tan accent chairs outline the other side of the lounge arrangement. On the grey sofa, two tan scatter cushions match the hue of the modern chairs.

The tan colour elements and the glow of lighting have the same warming tonal effect as the gold accents in the grey living room. A long media cabinet crosses the width of the room; tall planters crown one end of it with bright greenery.

Gold panels wrap the chimney breast in the living room, above a linear modern fireplace. A gold chair is pulled up close and cosy to the sleek black hearth, with a footstool poised for warming those toes.

A beautiful set of modern nesting coffee tables span the gap between the accent chairs and L-shaped sofa in the lounge. One low square wood effect table is overlapped by a black marble round table to create an interesting combination of shape and texture.

The windows dip back behind the couch to form a perfect nook for this green chaise lounge chair and gold floor lamp . The pairing make a sophisticated reading nook away from the glare of the TV screen.

Two open doorways lead out of the living room, one from the lounge area and one from a formal dining spot. A wall of unique lighting sets a black slatted hallway wall all aglow.

The ground floor of this house is also equipped with a handsome home office. Bespoke shelving and storage nooks have been set so that all plains run flush around the perimeter, with nothing protruding except the desk.

In the other half of the study there is a suave lounge area with modern tufted sofas. A floor lamp in front of the book stacks makes one of the sofas into an ideal reading spot; the second sofa is faced toward a wall mounted TV.

A small side table is large enough to balance a laptop computer on–or a drink made from the bar shelved above the TV.

The minimalist home office desk appears at first glance to be a cantilevered design, but there is a perspex leg to support the illusion. A designer desk lamp makes a dapper addition at one end of it.

Back out in the open plan living room, a round dining table is encircled by eight curved back dining chairs. Two dining room pendant lights reflect the light inside their decorative metallic curls.

Soft grey dining chairs and grey sofa upholstery paired with the light golden fireplace make a deliciously smooth colour feast for the eyes. Some of the black slatted wall panels from the hallway have made their way around onto this side of the wall too, bringing in texture and shade.

Stunning sliding doors draw back to join the kitchen to the dining area.

Once beyond the sliding doors, an array of candlesticks and decorative vases are displayed on a wall of open kitchen shelving .

A unit on the other side of the kitchen island conceals a coffee bar.

Three kitchen bar stools line up beside the coffee bar cabinet. A comfortable breakfast nook is fashioned along the window, where a small dining table and a few chairs are teamed with a cosy banquette bench.

A unique pendant light fills the corner of the breakfast nook. Wood effect wall panels echo the finish of kitchen cabinets, to merge the two sides of the room together.

The central kitchen island idea offers deep drawer space on the opposite side to the bar.

In the lobby, linear wall cabinets are arranged to reflect a random pattern in the floor. Beautiful pendant lights follow a similar undulating rhythm.

A huge mirror is propped against the wall, beside an emerald green modern sofa .

Mirrored panels and slats ripple down the concrete hallway.

A decorative coat rack wraps the corner toward the front door, next to a stylish umbrella stand.

In the pool house, an impressive slatted ceiling threads the length of the room.

Green poolside chairs and botanical themed cushions bring in a touch of the outdoors.

Crescent couches snake around a round coffee table .

and perimeter LEDs make atmospheric lighting.

A couple of slender plant stands layer cacti in front of the garden view.

The pool is visible through glass doors at the end of the hall inside the main house, which also brings the garden view and natural sunlight flowing through.

Recessed lights accompany a cool staircase design .

A mirrored baseline beneath custom-made cabinets reflects the floor, making a small area appear deceptively spacious.

The mirror trick is used inside a small bathroom too.

Wood effect panels conceal the toilet cistern.

The mirrored vanity wall in a second small bathroom reflects a pattern of decorative wall hooks.

Ridged wall tiles clad the shower.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
