Luxury Apartment With An Industrial Vibe And A Cool Hallway [with Floor Plans]

A conceptual interior, designed by Alexander Senchugov & Evgenia Aborina, was revised when two existing apartments were combined to make a new 265 square meter abode. The designers altered their previous sketches to create an even more spacious and luxurious apartment interior, which hums with a cool industrial current. The open plan living room has a laid back yet luxurious vibe, with a large luxe kitchen and a modern formal dining area. There is also a cool hallway design inside the home, which incorporates crafted sections of different geometric pattern laced with intriguing lighting, and some eye-catching artwork. The geometric theme runs throughout in various forms, creating a unique, slick and contemporary vision.

A modern sofa serves as a border around the lounge area in an open plan living room. Behind it, a six seat modern dining set stretches out in front of floor to ceiling windows, between twin tall bookshelves.

Concrete walls drop a textured grey canvas behind the furniture layout. A Serge Mouille style double wall lamp extends from the raw concrete corner of the room to chase away the shadows. Original available here .

Moss green dining chairs and a wooden dining table invoke the beauty of nature. A clear glass vase holds a pure white sprig. More botanical inspiration unfolds across the tv wall, where enormous fronds make up a lively print.

The grey kitchen sprawls across the entire width of the room, with a long cooking and dining island placed in front.

Three different shades make up the grey kitchen island, producing a layer cake effect. A wooden tabletop overlaps the dining end of the island to match it with the neighbouring formal dining table.

Block side tables in the lounge, and diagonally laid flooring, also follow the natural wood grain theme. Flora fills a piece of round wall art above the L-shaped sofa.

A stainless steel shelving unit descends over the central kitchen island , which holds tableware. Drinking glasses are stored in large backlit cabinets along the back wall that create a sense of occasion.

Brown ribbed tiles make up a textured kitchen backsplash , where black cooking utensils and a set of black kitchen knives hang.

Dark wood kitchen bar stools pull up around two sides of the light wood breakfast bar.

Moving out of the living room, we’re met with a cool hallway design. A geometric wall installation of LED strips serve as both modern art and atmospheric lighting, which highlights the raw concrete behind.

Punctured metal panels make up a second lighting feature in the hallway, where illumination pushes out from the column like bright polka-dots. Another geometric wall design is built in rich wood sections, and lit around the sides.

The black walls display the work of contemporary artist Andrei Berger.

Black and grey poufs are arranged around the floor of the hallway, offering sitting opportunities in different locations and at different heights.

A gallery wall leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms in the back, and a dedicated home office.

Inside the modern home office , a wall planter arrangement dots a geometric wood panelled wall behind the sofa. Small trailing plants overhang their circular wall beds, dripping greenery over the rich wood tone. The remaining half of the wall is dominated by a large black bookcase beside the desk, which visually zones the work area.

More bookcases cover the opposite side of the room.

A black swivel chair pulls up at the grey modern home office desk .

Inside the office’s bathroom, dashes of red and blue splash across the walls.

A black doorway stands unsympathetic to the light and bright wall colour scheme.

In the wash area we find the black accent is carried through. A unique black vanity, black faucet, and a black wall mirror are mounted against a black section of wall; a black vertical radiator stripes the colourful slab at its side.

Black bathroom fixtures and accessories pepper the rest of the room.

A blue and brown colour scheme fills the master bedroom , with the brown hue being brought in by an enthusiastic use of wood. A wood plank headboard feature wall extends upward and over the ceiling, and wooden doors slide away behind it on rails–barn style.

Storage niches, bedside wall sconces and electrical sockets are all fitted right into the wooden headboard wall behind the platform bed .

A modern chaise-style sofa lounges by the windows, under a floor lamp for reading.

Creative industrial bedroom lighting is fashioned by stringing bulbs from a tree limb.

The master bathroom is a dramatic vision of black and rich wood.

A wood slatted wall crosses behind a hung toilet and bidet set.

A black bath tub crosses diagonally between the window and shower screen.

are scattered casually along the wooden window sill, along with a black wire basket of fresh towels.

The double sink bathroom vanity has shelves stacked at either side of it to stow away more bathroom essentials.

Beautiful pendant lights dangle by the basins.

The children’s bathroom is a vibrant blue and white creation, with geometric stripe cutting in.

A tower of shelving over the bath holds an army of toiletries.

Wooden pendant shades match the wooden vanity unit. The black trapezium shaped legs of the vanity unit are matched perfectly by a mirror of the same shape and colour.

Floor plan, illustrating the combined space of the two integrated apartments.

Sophisticated walnut wall panels, recessed lighting tracks & perimeter light installations, luxurious black marble volumes and high end furniture make up this modern home interior. The upscale contemporary apartment, visualised by MONO Architects is a grownups only kind of place, where sticky fingers would cause havoc on tinted glass walls, and should steer clear of a low slung contemporary open flame fireplace. The kitchen has been designed to meld with the wood wall cladding, becoming almost camouflaged in the backdrop of the large open plan main living room. The cohesive decor theme runs through into the master bedroom and bathroom, effectively uniting all the spaces together as one free-flowing volume.

Two grey modern sofas are arranged in an L-shape in the lounge, and teamed with a couple of deep moss green accent chairs. The back of one of the couches is equipped with a slide on cuff that supports shelves for books. A series of slender floor lamps surround the living room layout to provide focussed task lighting.

The TV wall is a ceiling mounted volume clad in black marble. The half wall floats above a modern fireplace hearth, where open flame leaps up into the gap between.

A set of nesting coffee tables serve the longest of the two sofas. A couple of area rugs, in subtly different shades, overlap on the floor to pull the large living room layout together.

One small side table stands nearby the smaller of the two couches, next to the hearth of the open flame fireplace. Black scatter cushions match with the occasional tables.

The outermost walls of the room are clad in walnut panelling, which creates a warm and smooth looking skin around the entire home interior. Perimeter lighting highlights the attractive grain.

The floor treatment changes from wood plank to grey tile as it transitions away from the main living room area. Stripes of adjustable track lighting run the length of the ceiling space.

The ceiling mounted tv wall is double sided to serve the dining room end also, and of course, the sophisticated fireplace can be enjoyed from every aspect of the room through its open sides. At the end of the floating TV volume, recessed shelving holds a neat collection of books and nicknacks.

Opposite the dining room stands a kitchen with breakfast bar.

The luxury dining room seats ten for dinner. Panoramic windows bring natural light flooding into the spacious apartment; taupe curtains hang at the glass to keep things cosy at night.

soften the edges of the interior design, and bring in some much needed natural greenery in lack of a real garden view. A tinted glass balcony balustrade obscures a cityscape beyond.

The super modern dining set has been teamed with an equally contemporary lighting installation.

A series of unique kitchen pendant lights hang at various lengths over the kitchen breakfast bar to create an interesting undulating effect. Four kitchen bar stools line up along the marble clad peninsula, awaiting the chef’s creation. The kitchen cabinets behind the counter are finished in the same walnut effect as the interior walls of the apartment, so that it flows seamlessly. Even the kitchen ceiling has been covered to match the wood panelling. Tall wine storage racks are left on display though, with two of them peeping through tinted glass doors.

In the master bedroom, the wood clad walls continue. Cylindrical bedside units flank each side of the fabric covered double bed. A slimline gold pendant lights one unit, whilst the eye-catching bedside table lamp on the other is the Snoopy table lamp .

Large tropical plants dress the airy room, their luscious green leaves contrasting freshly with the rich dark brown decor.

A pale rectangular rug covers the floor beneath the bed, whilst a circular rug marks out a modest sitting area by the windows. Two tan accent chairs meet at a marble and gold coffee table, accompanied by a very tall floor lamp .

An open doorway leads into a walk-in closet/dressing room with a generous amount of space and storage. An upholstered bench seat occupies the centre of the space.

On the opposite side, a makeup table and vanity chair are poised in front of a custom cut mirror.

The dressing room is divided into two domains, one for each homeowner. Rectangular lighting tracks mark each ceiling space.

Dark marble and white tile decorate the luxury bathroom . Another custom made mirror stretches the full length of a long bathroom wall above a double sink vanity unit. Wall mounted storage units stow away the clutter, whilst leaving the floor looking clear, clean and spacious. The orb lights above the vanity unit design are the IC Lights S Style Pendant . The original is available here .

On the opposite side of the bathroom you’ll find the shower, which is backed in black marble and a shallow shelf to hold shampoos and soap dispensers. A rainfall showerhead pours onto a wetroom floor, which is left open to the rest of the room. The tinted glass enclosure you see here has been built to keep the toilet and a matching wall hung bidet separate from the main space; it is accessed by an almost undetectable door at its centre.

A freestanding bathtub stands by the window. A heater towers up an adjacent wall, and a small metallic side table stands by to hold bath time potions - or a nice glass of wine to sip.

Beside the head of the bath, a rail descends all the way from the ceiling to hold a dry towel exactly where it is needed.

Dark isn’t the first theme that comes to mind when designing a kitchen. Stereotypical assumptions are of white and bright kitchens matched by light wood—something like the color of breakfast pancakes. Have you ever thought otherwise? Perhaps something like a modern dark kitchen?

We’ve got a collection of stunning spaces sure to switch up your vision. This black kitchen design inspiration is the sexiest interior design can muster. 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. Take a peek at some brilliant interiors on the darker side to see if a modern luxury black kitchen could be for you.

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

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.

Visualizer:Visual Method

This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

26. Use Black to Add Intimacy

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

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
