Architect:Le House
Measuring 180 square metres in Vietnam, this industrial style apartment Interior has an air of rock ‘n’ roll. Its “romantic bohemian” homeowner enjoys a plethora of chill out spots across a large industrial living space and upon a steel constructed mezzanine.
Exposed brickwork builds a curving feature wall and a terrific backdrop against which to display a beloved motorcycle.
A chess set offers playful interaction across the glamorous gold & silver accented modern coffee table , whilst a cat statue hints at the homeowners affectionate nature.
Two brown leather chairs sit across from a charcoal grey upholstered sofa in the lounge arrangement to fashion rich and interesting tonal layering. A large indoor plant contrasts against the red brickwork and guides the eye up to the underside of the mezzanine floor.
A steel staircase design spirals up to the mezzanine from a unique concrete bench base. Every angle of the concrete, brick and rusty steel constructed home looks like the atmospheric photographic setting of a music album cover, which tells us a lot about the artist-loving owner.
The apartment is on the 33rd floor of the building, which presented challenges for the installation of the mezzanine steel system. Both the length and height of the construction were beyond the maximum size for the hoist service and so the system was cut and reconnected on site.
Panoramic views can be enjoyed from the entire open plan living room and the length of the mezzanine. Industrial style lighting descends through the double height void to illuminate the dining area.
Raw concrete and red brick create contrast around the dining room walls.
A black marble island adds an extravagant touch to the open concept kitchen.
The mezzanine walkway lowers the ceiling height across the kitchen, where spotlights are recessed in the rich wood finish.
In addition to the master bedroom area on the mezzanine, there are also two more bedrooms in the home, for friends to stay over and for future children. In this guest bedroom, raw industrial materials are warmly highlighted by a bedside table lamp .
The main bathroom is situated on the ground floor of the apartment, where a black bathtub causes dramatic effect.
An industrial home office looks out over the mezzanine.
The workspace is situated just outside of the master suite.
There is a small home bar at the opposite end of the mezzanine.

Finally, we come to a luxury industrial interior with plush emerald green accents.
A steel ceiling grid creates an attractive trellis effect across the living room. Pendant lights drop through the gaps at differing lengths, and a modern floor lamp complements their sleek, cylindrical look.
A frame of perimeter lighting brightly spotlights an exposed brick TV wall.
The huge, upholstered, sectional sofa hugs the lounge area solidly on three sides.
A unique hexagonal coffee table and a sleek white marble table fill the centre of the chic lounge arrangement.

Peripheral furniture is pared back to ensure the environment doesn’t feel overcrowded or complicated. Bedrooms are peaceful, and the fitted bathroom cleanly precise. Apartment floor plan included at the end of the tour.

With the dining room and kitchen located so close to the lounge area, accent colours and textures take on increased importance in the visual division of space. Perhaps most useful in this quest is the split grey and wood tone finish across the one wall kitchen. Grey kitchen cabinets make a cool backdrop behind the dining area, whilst light oak effect cabinet fronts create a cosy background behind the lounge.
An assortment of buttery yellow and foliage green throw pillows draw the eye to the end of the sofa that’s furthest away from the dining spot, which is another effective widening and dividing technique for a compact living space. A small coffee table nestles into the crook of the L-shaped sofa here, further signalling the area’s separate role. A Tetra candle holder by Naoto Fukasawa for B&B Italia makes an curious display piece.
Lack of a TV builds a sense of peace in living room dining room combo , although a blank wall leaves opportunity for projection. With that said, focus is on reading here, with an elegant glass bookcase in one corner and a simple white floor lamp to provide reading light over the couch.
The Mekko pendant light by Market Set provides a strong visual anchor for the dining area.

White modern wall sconces are mounted over each bedside table, and can be reangled for reading light.
A muted green comforter and soft blue throw create layers of calming colour on the platform bed .
A grey bedside drawer unit is adorned with a L’Oiseau bird figurine designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroulle for Vitra in 2011.
The opposite bedside table offers a completely different and contrasting look, with a linear, warm wood tone finish. A modern planter houses a green beside flourish.
At this side of the bed, the headboard has been routed to complement the slatted wood aesthetic.
The enclosed balcony has been transformed into a comfortable reading nook with a built-in bench and upholstered seat cushions.
Inside the bathroom, fully-fitted furniture makes the absolute most of the compact room dimensions. A small farmhouse sink springs forth from a countertop with an attractive tile overlap, which also forms the tap mount for the bathtub .

An Avro Shackleton drawing makes a spectacular and educational focal wall behind the desk.
A glass bookcase keeps the dust off the kids’ library and special collectibles. A Baymax lamp gives off a friendly glow.
Another wood slatted ceiling panel establishes the study area as its own separate zone in the bedroom.
The small bathroom design situated off the home entryway follows the same aesthetic as the family bathroom, with light grey tile and custom-built oak cabinetry. A chrome towel heater dries off the hand towel.
This small bathroom space also serves as a functional laundry room, with a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer set. A tall storage unit provides plenty of space for the obligatory armoury of detergents, fabric softeners and stain removal products.

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. 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
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

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

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.

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.

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
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
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!
