Sparing arrangements of red & yellow accent pieces subtly brighten the smart neutral base of this modern family home, which was designed and visualised by Quadro Room . The accents have been reservedly introduced to each room either as a solo hue or as a colour contrasting duo to create layering and depth. The backdrop in each area of the home follows a formula of slatted panel work, luxe black marble, and smooth wood grain, which is teamed with soft cream & mid grey paintwork. The result is a fully cohesive walkthrough, where the colour story continues seamlessly into even the bathrooms and the shared kids’ room.

We start the tour of this family home in a somewhat compact living room dining room combo , where the dining set overlaps the tv wall in front of the sofa. A large window with a view out over the city helps the combined use space to feel open and airy. Wall art in hot vivid colour injects energy into the room scheme; the hit of red in the art is projected into the centrepiece of the dining table, to create a visual link.

The tv wall decor is a combination of slatted and marble panels, which create the backdrop for floating storage volumes. The linear black and wood cabinets are offset to one side of the tv wall in order to balance out the dining set that is pushed up against at the opposite end.

More slatted panelling appears behind the sofa on the other side of the room. A black swing arm wall lamp extends from the pale feature wall. A plant pot by the window is finished in red to thread the accent colour through the open space.

A small kitchen is separated from the living room dining room combo by a set of glass sliding doors. The transparency helps the limited space to feel larger, whilst the doors facilitate clear zoning; they also help contain cooking smells and noise away from family members who are relaxing in the lounge.

Since the kitchen is visually linked to the lounge/diner, the decor has been designed to follow through seamlessly. The wooden floor is one continuous installation, and the black marble backsplash echoes the dining table and tv wall. Some upper cabinets have been finished in a ribbed effect in a nod to the slatted wall panels in the lounge.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

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
