Sleek furnishings meet with raw decor in these three grey home interiors that incorporate concrete accent walls. The sombre palette used throughout is paired with a minimalistic living style that gives the apartments a masculine air. Areas of natural wood have been introduced to interior number one as a warming technique, as well as to add pattern and texture through its grain and in slatted feature walls. Our second home tour delivers us a glass wall bedroom with a slick glass closet. A blast of colourful wall art makes for a bright finalé in apartment three, hanging on smooth grey walls and balanced out by the visual weight of solid black accent pieces.

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
