A chic picture is painted over a dark canvas in this home interior, visualised by Dezest . Warm neutrals and rich natural materials are the palette that softens the bold shadowy background, and add a tactile welcoming feel. The apartment is filled with the soft forms of fashionable furniture by brands such as Living Divani, Lago and B&B. The lighting solutions, by Martinelli Luce and Kreon, add another layer of cosy yet composed ambiance. This is a compact dwelling but an open plan layout makes the place feel substantial. The floor plan includes a generous lounge with open kitchen and dining area, a bedroom with walk-in closet/dressing room and a luxurious bathroom with twin basins.

The modern living room design is composed of earthy tones and dark planes, lifted by light wood tone and sparingly placed gold elements. A suspended ceiling maps out where the kitchen diner begins and ends.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 2

A large decorative wall mirror lands at one end of the room; its rail serves as an umbrella rack. Beside it, a large glass closet keeps all the best garments on show. The lounge area floats on a large charcoal coloured area rug, which keeps it neatly bordered from the surrounding alternative functions of the multipurpose room.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 3

The heart of the room is the centrally placed modern sofa that offers seating around its full perimeter. The cleverly designed piece negates the need for extra furniture by being both part of the lounge and applicable to the kitchen at the very same time.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 4

The side of the central sofa also faces directly toward the glass closet, and therefore serves a third purpose as a handy dressing stool.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 5

Instead of mounting a dominating black flat screen television on the wall, the living room has been equipped with a projection screen. A retractable screen makes for a much cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic when not in use.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 6

A narrow shelf runs below the projection screen when it is unfurled. The simple shelf is enough to take the plainess off the wall in front of the sofa, and is used to display just a few decorative items. A vase of dried feathery foliage matches the other tactile neutrals within the scheme.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 7

Vintage suitcases are used as storage boxes upon the shelves inside the glass closet; they evoke a sophisticated, well travelled look and keep less attractive bits and pieces out of sight.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 8

Behind the lounge, adjacent to the kitchen diner, there is a minimalist home office by the window. The dedicated home office area is fitted with a bespoke desk design and a stack of practical shelving. A structural support column has been clad in dramatic smoked mirrored glass to reflect the light and the room.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 9

A deep upholstered bench seat offers a cosy cushioned perch at the computer - though lack of a supportive backrest would not suit those who spend long hours in front of the screen. On the plus side, it allows two people to gather at the desk to brainstorm, sort through household bills or book that next holiday.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 10

Between the windows, a sculptural wall light provides interest and a warming glow down a plain wall.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 11

Two brown upholstered armchairs nestle beneath the wall lights; a small side table stands between. Neighbouring bookshelves make this an ideal reading spot.

A circular rug echoes the shape of the small tabletop.

The kitchen island morphs into a modern dining room .

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 14

A mirrored base creates the optical illusion that the dining table is cantilevered from the side of the kitchen island. Above the table, a modern chandelier further connects the dining and kitchen zones.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 15

Full height kitchen units behind the island are a dark brown-black woodgrain. Black integrated appliances and a black faucett round off the look.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 16

The master suite is an open plan bedroom with wardrobe . An open grid shelving unit behind the headboard helps to divide the functions of the room, defining the sleep zone from the dressing area. White storage boxes provide a visual stop on the open shelves, and long planters of greenery feather the edges.

The platform bed has integrated bedside shelves to keep the look clean and together.

Beyond the open shelves behind the headboard, the dressing area is lit by a large window.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 23

A small makeup vanity table and vanity chair are seated by the window pane, where sheer white drapes blow in the breeze. Both the vanity table and mirror boast curvaceous edges to break up the clean lines that surround. Glass doors protect the contents of the closet.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 24

Light floods into the ensuite bathroom through huge windows behind the wash area.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 25

A dual vanity mirror design has been suspended in front of the windows to serve the double sink installation.

Dark, Warm & Welcoming Apartment - 26

The luxury bathtub is trimmed with an integrated gold towel rail. A shallow shelf scores the wall above it, storing toiletries - and bath taps - out of plain sight.

There is a glass WC enclosure within the bathroom.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

1. Make it an All Black Kitchen

modern dark kitchen - 81

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

black and white modern kitchen - 82

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

white and black modern kitchen - 84

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. Black and glass alternate in this chic kitchen as the interesting ceiling design keeps the space unconventional. We’ve also got to appreciate the cherry blossoms, doubling as decor even within the interior.

7. Factor in Some Warmth

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

white island in black modern kitchen - 88

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

mysterious black kitchen with marble island - 90

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

kitchen with accents of gold - 91

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

french style black kitchen - 92

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

all black matte kitchen - 95

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

black kitchen interior with stenciling - 96

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

modern black kitchen with gradients - 98

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

dark grey kitchen with textures - 99

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.

20. Work on the Functionality of the Modern Dark Kitchen

21. Create a Modern Classic All Black Kitchen

Visualizer:A&L Interior Design

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

Yet another kitchen that uses black and wooden elements to create a dark-themed interior. What sets this one apart is the hanging pans. They do offer easy access as the residents cook, but they also double as decor! (Note how the pans also use black and wooden elements to stay coherent with the theme).

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

black kitchen with keepsakes - 105

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

Visualizer:Helen Bank

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

black kitchen with patterned rug - 108

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

black kitchen with rod lighting - 109

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!
