We begin our tour in an open plan living space that’s gently zoned by a round rug under the lounge area. The edge of the circular carpet peeps out from the sofa just enough to encompass a small round coffee table and a stylish lounge chair.
The other half of the living room dining room combo is furnished with an elegant marble dining table and modern wooden dining chairs.
The lounge chair serves as a brief dividing obstacle between the lounge and dining space.
A wall of tall kitchen units and appliance housing units run behind the dining set. Two columns of cabinets have been switched out for built-in bookshelves in order to provide the dining spot with moments of decorative elegance.
The integrated shelving units are backlit to highlight decorative vases and sculpture.
A unique dining room chandelier makes a bold statement above the table, which helps distract from the kitchen essentials behind it.
The curve-backed dining chairs smoothly complement the silhouette of the racetrack dining table . A glass vase brings natural greenery to the dining table as a living centrepiece.
A glass door leads out of the dining room onto a balcony. Two modern outdoor chairs make an inviting spot for conversation and relaxation.
Modern wall lights softly illuminate the welcoming outdoor living space.
Candle holders extend the glow to the floor of the balcony, where they spread magical, twinkling light around the outdoor furniture.
A couple of wine glasses set the scene for an evening of talking, laughter, and dreaming up plans for tomorrow.
A small floor lamp offers focussed lighting over a small outdoor coffee table, making drink refills easier as the darkness of night falls.
As we move on into the luxurious bedroom design, we discover a fabulous muxarabi headboard wall. The screen separates the bedroom from a vanity area. Two bedroom pendant lights adorn either side of the decorative screen.
An attractive ceiling fan with light fitting pushes airflow through the open weave of the muxarabi to cool both areas of the room. A freeform wall mirror reflects daylight into the back of the space.
A textured bedroom rug complements the intricate screen design. A bedroom chair is settled over by the bedroom windows, creating a pretty reading nook amongst mature indoor plants.
Modern bedside tables flank a pale grey upholstered bed. A soft grey comforter dresses the foot of the bed.
A fluted glass feature wall lightly separates the bedroom from the living room. The attractive glazed wall shares light between the two main rooms of the apartment.
Behind the muxarabi room divider, a vanity table and modern vanity stool make a neat dressing area that benefits from natural light. This area also holds the entry door into an ensuite bathroom and the exit door to the living area.
Inside the ensuite bathroom, a fitted bathtub is tiled to coordinate with the grey stone floor and matching wet walls.
A round bathroom mirror is backlit to highlight the stunning tile.
A unique bathroom sink is crafted to merge elegantly with the grey stone backsplash. Brass bathroom fixtures warmly contrast with the cool tilework.
Above the round mirror , a modern wall sconce continues the circular shape theme.
A ribbon of LED light glows warmly upon a shelf of fresh towels beneath the wall mounted basin.
Beaded wall panels smartly conceal the toilet cistern. Two cabinets of hidden storage extend all the way up to the ceiling line to make the most of the generous room height.
The chic guest bathroom design takes a lighter approach with luxe white marble walls and shower wet zone. A recessed shower shelf cuts into the marble wall to neatly contain a couple of toiletries. A tall decorative vase houses a softening spray of Pampas grass on the vanity unit.
Built-in storage areas are picked out in rich wood grain to match the modern vanity unit. The recessed wooden cabinets in the cistern wall break in the middle to display a column of clean white towels.
Two slender modern wall sconces place fashionable brass accents at either side of a grand vanity mirror. See more inspiration for bathroom vanity lights .
A modern brass bathroom tap feeds a luxurious white marble basin. Wooden storage units are routed into a slatted effect, which fashions an interesting contradiction with the smooth wooden vanity unit.
We can see from the floor plan that the apartment enjoys two balcony areas, the one just off the main living space, and an additional private terrace that is accessed via the bedroom. A walk-in wardrobe almost matches the size of the bedroom’s ensuite bathroom. A small built-in coat closet conveniently serves the home entryway.
Located in Bali, Indonesia, these four stunning jungle villas are where modernity meets Mother Nature. Visualised by Illya Kovalchuk , these stylish villas are presented in a natural materials palette of timber, stone, and rattan. The palette fashions an inviting warmth, whilst adhering to a high-end aesthetic. The first villa features a beautiful vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams; walls of glass bring in views of the jungle on every side. The second villa is a linear structure with a lush courtyard at its heart. Villa three is planted in the thick of the jungle and features palm trees upon a fabulous roof terrace. We end with a glamorous villa, steeped in gold accents, jewel tones, and contemporary wood slatted ceilings.
We travel first to Bud Villa, a luxurious tropical Balinese villa with stunning vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Multiple wicker pendant lights of different sizes fall from the rafters, between two cooling ceiling fans .
An L-shaped tufted sofa sets down a base of cushiony softness, which is enhanced by thick, textured throws and deep cushions. A large area rug shades the floor of the lounge, creating a warm island upon the cool tile.
A natural jute round rug is laid out by the window, along with a small pouf where one can stop and enjoy the fantastic views of the far-reaching tree canopy. The pouf also serves as a footstool for the nearby couch when needed.
The round shape theme is sparked by a beautiful round window above the kitchen.
The round window frames the jungle view as though it were a piece of hand-painted art.
A stone-topped kitchen island stands on a narrow base, which suits the light and airy aesthetic of the spacious room.
Outside on the decked terrace, outdoor chaise lounge chairs pull up by a swimming pool. Border plants grow greenery against the concrete perimeter of the property to meld it aptly with the surrounding environment.
The villa exterior sports a charming pitched roof; an entire wall of glass is cut to fit the eaves.
This linear modern villa exterior is disrupted by a commanding front entryway that protrudes high above the roofline.
The protrusion of the flat roof forms a canopy above outdoor seating areas, giving them blissful shade from the Balinese sunshine. The shady overhang also serves as a cooling aid for the interior spaces.
At the back of the property, a tempting swimming pool sparkles pale blue.
Boundaries are blurred between indoor and outdoor living spaces, encouraging daily life to flow without borders.
The living room is minimally furnished with a modern sofa set and contemporary nesting coffee tables .
A large area rug spreads a light base of soft texture beneath the modern lounge furniture. A Buddha statue is seated in pride of place upon a decorative Indonesian sideboard.
A lush green courtyard is situated at the heart of the luxury villa, which encourages airflow throughout.
, poufs , a majestic Buddha statue , and the uplifting beauty of Mother Nature create a tranquil and simple space for prayer, reflection, and solitude.
In between the kitchen and dining spaces, two lounge chairs are turned toward the stunning courtyard vista.
The peaceful bedroom design is given a flash of colour in the form of a vibrant red accent chair . Floor lamps are situated around the bedroom to create a soft mood lighting scheme at nightfall.
A brick arch makes an eye-catching feature in the bathroom, sparking a terracotta decor palette. A round bathroom mirror fits smoothly within the curve.
A terracotta vanity unit appears to extrude from the bathroom feature wall, whilst a pedestal sink boldly contrasts in glossy black marble.

The bathroom layout places a freestanding bathtub up beside the jungle view. A dramatic chandelier descends from the ceiling above the tub to add glamour.
An unusual double sink vanity arrangement equips the luxurious bathroom with one sunken basin and one surface-mounted vessel basin. The alternating sink style provides fashionable comfort for homeowners with significant height differences or accessibility needs.

All divulging in shades of black, navy, or dark brown, they add what white kitchens cannot—a seductive allure that says sleekness and sophistication at the same time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yet another kitchen that uses black and wooden elements to create a dark-themed interior. What sets this one apart is the hanging pans.

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!
