Tonal grey decor and wooden accents culminate into a cosy-chic aesthetic within these three modern home interiors. In our first inspirational home design, we visit a living room with a textural decor scheme and a host of high-end furniture. The stylish living space, however, is completely overshadowed by a striking entryway design with a punchy orange colour blocked treatment and a cool modern staircase design. Our second featured home interior is a deeply shaded design with atmospheric mood lighting, a plethora of indoor plants, and an industrial feel. Finally, we’ll complete our trio of tours in a lighter, limewashed living space, where en vogue arches and subtle boho flourishes add elegance and intrigue.
Architect:MAA Architects
This 145 square metre home design is located in Frankfurt Germany. A host of tones and textures are brought together to create a cosy modern apartment, with just a hint of bohemian essence. A tan ottoman makes soft, tonal contrast with a tufted gray sofa design, whilst a small side table cuts a crisp white silhouette.
Behind the tufted sofa , ridged gypsum wall panels draw deep textural interest, which is exaggerated under dark graphite paintwork. Two modern art pieces pull together several decor hues, to form one cohesive focal point.
A Traveller’s palm fills the corner of the living room with nature’s architectural beauty and rich emerald colour. A slender floor lamp matches its height.
A pair of living room chairs are set in front of the window to form an L-shaped furniture layout without blocking too much of the natural light. At the end of a large area rug , the final living room wall is dedicated to a bespoke media cabinet that smoothly wraps around into the neighbouring kitchen.
The wide doorway between the lounge and kitchen maintains an open flow.
Out in the home entryway, a fabulous floating staircase design winds around a wide stairwell. The modern design is elevated by a bold orange colour blocked paint feature that rises and falls in abstract silhouette.
Built-in bookcases and storage units make practical use of the spacious entryway. Indoor plants loll from the black book niches to form small explosions of vibrant greenery.
A glass balustrade maintains the floating effect of the staircase, allowing the edges of the treads to show through without obstruction.
Decorative vases and small sculptures make up an interesting pitstop in the hallway.
Back inside the kitchen diner, a mature cactus complements the vertical linearity of the textured wall panels.
A bank of full-height grey kitchen cabinets forms the partition wall between the living room and the extraordinary orange hallway.

In our second featured home design, a cosy modular sofa is settled centrally in the lounge, leaving a small walkway around it to access the kitchen. A striking floor lamp fills the vacant corner behind the couch, whilst a modern wooden coffee table table occupies the area in front.
The grey living room gains depth from a dark concrete focal wall, which is atmospherically lit from above by a bright ribbon of LEDs. A second ribbon of light runs beneath a floating media unit at the base of the wall to complete the moody effect.
A slatted partition draws a subtle visual divide between the living room and the hallway.
Walnut flooring makes rich contrast with the grey lounge furniture and light area rug.
In the kitchen, the sophisticated grey and walnut decor scheme continues. A plethora of lush green indoor plants uplift the look.
A large wall clock casts shadow onto a concrete statement wall. Modern planters make black, hourglass silhouettes.
Concrete countertops wrap the grey and wood kitchen design.
Grey storage closets smoothly line the hallway of the home.
Inside the bedroom, a smoky grey upholstered bed contrasts against a light area rug. Dark grey bedside cabinets flank either side, adding to the tonal ensemble.
A glass closet causes bright reflections to form across the shadowy bedroom decor scheme.
At the foot of the bed, a grey wall mounted media unit morphs into a vanity table by the window. A punchy yellow vanity stool adds a moment of bright colour underneath.
A backlit mirror forms an atmospheric halo of light above a built-in chest of drawers.
The home entryway is a darkly dramatic little space that’s made to appear larger with the help of a custom-cut full length mirror . A bespoke console unit threads across the front of the mirror, above a simple grey vanity stool .
Inside the compact bathroom, large-format grey tiles and wood wall panels combine to create a chic aesthetic.
A frameless vanity mirror exudes mood light from around its square edge.
The shower room follows a similar grey and wood grain design, but this time goes even darker with recessed spotlights instead of bright perimeter illumination.
Black shower fixtures fade into the deep shadows.

Our final home tour leads us to a light grey limewashed living space with en vogue arches.
A curvaceous accent chair complements the arched alcove and doorway.
A racetrack-shaped side table continues the smooth shape theme.
The lounge leads directly into an open plan kitchen, where light wood and rattan make warm contrast with the stony grey surroundings.
A kitchen island divides the open layout .
Situated by the window, the dining area benefits from natural light. A wooden dining table and six stylish wooden dining chairs make a warm composition in the cool grey space.
Three modern wood kitchen bar stools are teamed with the concrete kitchen island to fashion a stylish breakfast bar.
White kitchen appliances lighten the look.
Macramé bedroom pendant lights give the decor scheme a boho vibe.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
