Bright blue and grey decor fills these three small home interiors with a cool and breezy vibe. These chilled interior designs come along with warm accents to build spaces that feel welcoming and homey. Rattan pendant shades, natural timber elements and floors, and even some splashes of gold and red turn up the heat. A scattering of indoor plants add another beat of colour to the palette, and paint a picture of a more lived in, more loved place. Modern furniture silhouettes and stylish light choices come together in bold and confident arrangements that make the most of the compact quarters they are assigned to.

Our first blue and grey home interior is warmed by pale gold scatter cushions on the sofa. The sofa is a small two seater design so as not to overwhelm the compact room dimensions, space is left around the couch on each side so that there can be an easy flow of footfall between the living room and the glass wall bedroom located behind.
The glass wall draws back in a bifold action to open up extra living space for the couple and their child. This is a half studio home that measures in at a neat 62 square metres.
The grey and blue colour scheme, paired with chic modern furniture, creates a crispness of style that makes the home feel much more than its measure. A sizeable plant stand serves as a transition piece between the sitting area and a home workspace in the corner.
A square coffee table stands on large format square floor tiles. A grey area rug warms up the floor around the sofa.
Opposite the sofa, a blue living room wall backs the TV.
Blue paintwork continues behind the modern home office desk .
A trio of kitchen bar stools is made up of two blue stools and one grey to shake off uniformity.
Three wood and white kitchen pendant lights illuminate the peninsula.
In the dark grey kitchen design, the upper cabinets have been faced with wood effect doors for added warmth.
Wooden elements warm the grey and blue bedroom design too. Natural pendant shades and wood effect bedside units make a beautiful overlay to a grey panelled feature wall.
Frameless wall mirrors give the illusion of added space in the apartment.

A fox cushion adds a flash of orange to the blue bed set.
Toy storage and balloon lights add more energised orange accents to the blue kid’s room. A mountain themed chalkboard climbs a sky blue wall.

Our second stop is a 56 square metre apartment, designed for a young male homeowner.
It’s the dining pendant lights that float like brightly coloured balloons in this home, or perhaps more like baubles under their metallic sheen. Their spherical nature ties in with a modern round dining table below.

Thirdly, we come to a 66.4 square metre home, designed for clients with a fondness for the maritime theme and travel. This is hinted at in the artwork in the home, and in the style of the gold wall lights that cross the grey living room wall.
Only two large windows let daylight into the home, so designers took on a challenge in including a children’s bedroom, master bedroom, and a living room with kitchen, without losing the feeling of spaciousness.
A run of soundproof glass was installed at ceiling height across the living room to let in additional natural light. A system of forced ventilation was installed along with UV lamps to ensure proper sanitary conditions. The decor is a nautical blue, white and woodtone scheme. The TV stand adds a herringbone patterned piece to the mix.

In our fourth featured design, bright shades of mid to light blue crash together over the walls of a 102 square metre home in Moscow, Russia. The cheerful accent palette in this interior ranges from primary yellow to orange, as seen in a spectrum of scatter cushions on the solid blue sofa here. Gold nesting coffee tables bring in a metallic warmth.
A coral accent chair and colour coordinating artwork brighten the other side of the blue living room , along with leaping orange flames in a modern woodburning stove.
Rich wooden elements layer against the shades of blue, building added depth and texture.

Behind the blue sofa, a wood dining table has been teamed with modern yellow dining chairs.

The guest bedroom serves as a second, smaller, TV room. The flatscreen TV is set into a wall of mirror opposite the two-seater bed settee. A small gold geometric table centres on a blue area rug when the bed is folded away, and relocates as a bedside table when the bed is opened out.
A gold floor lamp complements the beautiful gold ceiling light design. White cabinets have been built up and over the couch to maximise the limited amount of storage space available.

Lastly, cornflower blue elements paint tasteful moments of colour into a cream and white interior. Deep brown wood flooring and square coffee tables add chocolate tones into the elegant modern lounge decor. A striped rug brings all the hues of the room together in one connective piece.
A bespoke shelving unit has been painted in cornflower blue, with moments of timber left bare to show its natural beauty. The unit is recessed into the creamy wall, with moulding framing out the custom piece.
A swing arm wall lamp extends its shade over the sofa, where a laptop table stands at one end.
Another blue and wood bespoke shelving unit is recessed into the wall on the opposite side of the window, in mirror image with the first.
The living room is precisely halved between the lounge and a cornflower blue kitchen.
The partially dividing wall screens a dining area from the lounge. LED strips run around the perimeter of the kitchen ceiling to define its zone.
A wooden cabinet stands along the back of the modern sofa. Its presence helps draw a line between the two ends of the room.
The apartment is equipped with a dedicated home office that has a split personality. One half of the room is all business, where a faux deer head hangs in a raw industrial style environment with black accents. In complete contrast, the other side of the room is fashioned into a relaxed lounge area with classic wall panelling and light luxe decor.
Traditional wainscot wraps one side of tall made-to-measure cabinets, which are used to tuck away all of the office bumf and paraphernalia.
Wainscot follows the walls of the hallway too, working around to a highly styled little entryway. Geometric tiles cover the floor here, breaking away from the wood laminate used in the rest of the home. Orb pendant lights squeeze into the small space to make a big statement.
In the master bedroom, a blue upholstered headboard wings the bed.
Two swing arm wall lamps descend from ceiling roses above each side of the bed, reaching across a distressed feature wall of blue accents.
Unique tiles spread unusual decor in the bathroom, and bring in precious flecks of bright blue.
A different set of beautiful bathroom tiles take care of the wet zone.
A rustic wooden ledge crowns the vanity mirror. Rattan storage baskets hold bathroom extras.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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
Visualizer:Miguel A. Ramos
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.
