Luxury and class exude from every millimetre of this 149 square metre apartment in Saint Petersburg, Russia, designed and visualised by Idol Design . Each room is a detailed composition of high-end pieces, with plush soft furnishings and designer lighting solutions. A sophisticated palette of powder greys and gold elements paint a smooth colour story that runs right through from the modern living area and glossy hallway design, to the decor of two stunning bedrooms and two fabulous marble covered bathrooms. In fact, marble is a main player in every area of the home to really ramp up the level of luxe, whilst introducing freeform pattern to feature walls and floors.
The open and airy luxury living room is a polished ensemble of designer pieces, brought together inside one colour palette with complete finesse. The grey walls and curtains draw powder grey shades down the vertical planes, whilst black anchors cross the baseline of the scheme. A black border encapsules the ceiling space, and a stretch of marble sends a storm of black and white across the back wall.
Behind the refined lounge area lies an elegant kitchen with a dining island. The flooring changes here to mark to transition of purpose, halting light wood chevrons to give way to hardy grey tiles.
To the side of the designer sofa in the lounge, two black and gold accent chairs stand as though in guard of a glass wine store. Black marble travels the width of the TV wall, mirroring the marble backsplash in the kitchen that’s on the opposite side of the room.
A gold unit slices through the seat cushions of the modern sofa , forming a convenient side table and magazine storage nook. Golden hued scatter cushions complement the precious metallic addition.
A glossy hallway runs the length of the living room, defined by its tile floor and stunning lighting solutions that integrate with sleek ceiling recesses and textured wall panels.
Low level lighting stretches along the length of the hall too, making a runway toward a dramatic bust sculpture.
Bespoke storage furniture occupies the opposite end of the hallway to the art exhibit. A seat has been built between the storage cabinet and the wall near the entry door, and it’s here that a tall mirror stretches to the ceiling. Soft lighting exaggerates every line of the custom hallway furniture design, including a small set of recessed display shelves so that the home entryway may be suitably adorned.
Divinely delicate mesh dining pendant lights have an almost supernatural presence over the kitchen island with their translucent quality.
A tinted glass vase makes a simple yet classy table centrepiece, holding dried botanics. The arrangement works beautifully with the natural vein in the marble backsplash behind.
Up on the raised prep area of the kitchen island, a modern fruit bowl set with marble bases add chic and practical decoration.

More indoor plants grow from stone pockets installed up the height of the wall, which include ambient lighting strips.
The other end of the covered balcony is set with a round dining table , and green chairs that match the plant life.
A beautiful teapot has a regular spot in the centre of the marble dining table.
The first luxury bedroom we find is alive with the heavily marbled pattern of an illuminated headboard feature wall. Two designer bedside table lamps adds to the lighting scheme.

The bath tub looks fit for a queen, set into a thick marble slab base, and surrounded by the same.
A grey toilet and bidet set blend with their grey marbled area.
Storage cabinets are built in above the concealed cistern block to give a sleek level finish that is also a wise use of the vertical space available.
The second stunning bedroom sees the introduction of rich maroon, used over an exquisite bed.
The headboard feature wall has a rustic clay texture, but is fronted with smooth glass and golden strips. Wardrobes adjacent to the bed have matching gold edging and decorative plates.
A smoked glass TV mount reflects the unique headboard wall treatment.
Golden touches add panache to the dressing table and vanity mirror .
Despite its size, this small bathroom is maxed out on luxury. Every bit of the same care applied to the design of the larger rooms applies here too.

If you’re a fan of the Groundhog Day movie, then you’re probably going to enjoy this! Imagine this is like Groundhog day for interior design, where we get to do it over and over again until everything is just how it’s supposed to be. This is the same bathroom space, redesigned 21 different ways, visualised by Black Razor . We’re looking at alternatives for every aspect here: complete changes in colour scheme, alternative wall treatments, different styles of bathroom furniture and new vanity mirrors. Each change brings about a different ambience in the room, a different personality. Which style would you go for, if you could do it all over again?
Wonderful wood. The first shot at this bathroom space is a design centered around a stunning wood panelled feature wall, where the grain is set in geometric pattern. An elegant modern pedestal sink is poised in front. The remainder of the bathroom is kept mostly white to allow the special feature wall to hold its spotlight.
Tall and teal. This colourful design employs small teal wall tiles, covering two walls from floor to ceiling. The small dimension of the tiles makes the room appear taller; their glossy finish prevents the deep colour from darkening the room. A white double sink bathroom vanity , and a wide vanity mirror help break up the expanse of colour too.
A surrealist’s sanctuary. A unique bathroom sink , irregular shaped mirror, unusual wall sconces and a bizarrely oversized shower design make this the type of bathroom you might find in the house of a modern day Salvador Dali.
Get up and go-ld. Feel special in the mornings by wrapping yourself in gold. A strip of golden tile wraps this white bathroom design, like ribbon tied around a precious gift.
Low colour, high texture. Herringbone floor, ribbed feature walls and concrete tile fill this bathroom with subdued colour, yet their texture gives the eye plenty to work on.
Look for luxe finishes.This grey and white bathroom looks glorious in swathes of marble and high-end geometric tile. Even the smallest of spaces can look the business given the right materials.
Traditional with a modern twist. A french vintage style chest of drawers serves as a vanity unit here; the rest of the ceramics are completely modern in nature, including a wall hung minimalist toilet and bidet set.
Another take on the french vintage meets modern minimalist approach, but this time with a shower enclosure instead of a bath, plus a darker choice of wall tiles.
The bathtub is back. This modern black bath tub makes a striking statement, even in equally dark surroundings. Black box shelves hold toiletries neatly within. The flush plate matches the black boxy aesthetic, along with a black minimalist toilet paper holder .
A chip off the old block. The french vintage style vanity is back, but this time with a unique wood block feature wall.
There’s beauty in balance. Attention-grabbing tiles have been restricted to the cistern wall in this one, to balance out a chic black framed shower screen.
Minty fresh. Its not just the toothpaste thats minty in this green bathroom. Mint walls, basin, toilet and bidet are all looking super fresh within a raw concrete shell. An extraordinary wireframed bathtub design introduces a crisp white element, as well as a razor thin white vanity shelf.
Pattern for miles. Stylish, characterful and so en vogue, patterned tiles can turn a bland bathroom scheme into something super special. We see the introduction of a corner shower in this design too, curving away to leave a larger floor area, and even more sublime pattern. The shower tray will not fit back into the recess, so a small tiled step fills in the gap.
Bamboo-zle them with natural style. Natural bamboo wall covering gives this bathroom a serene ambience. The nature theme is assisted by greenery on top of the cistern boxing and in a glass vase on the vanity.
Its all about the sanitaryware–this curvy set looks striking in monochrome. An illuminated vanity mirror tops off the ensemble.
Sometimes its ok to cut corners. A corner bath can offer a space saving solution in tight quarters. A floating vanity unit is great way to increase perceived floor space too, and makes the job of cleaning the bathroom floor a whole lot simpler.
Raw concrete and ravishing furniture. An industrial bathroom is one for the trend setter. We see a return of the extraordinary wireframed bathtub design here, and a complementary wireframed vanity unit. The introduction of wood on the vanity is an important move, as it supplies the only visual warmth in the room.
Smart and stripey. Zhuzh up a modern bathroom scheme with grey and white stripes, then warm through with wooden accent pieces like in the small bathroom vanity shown here.
Performing balancing tricks. An asymmetrical, staggered vanity design allows this wall mirror to be centralised to the room, rather than to the recessed wall area available.
The shape theme. This bulbous toilet silhouette becomes the defining motif for the room. A voluminous bidet and vanity mirror follow suit. The theme is reigned back when it comes to the vanity cabinet, basin and bath though, as you can get too much of a good thing.
Black marble and chrome. Black marble and traditionally styled sanitaryware shape this luxury bathroom design. A roll-top bath stands on chrome clawed feet, and shining towel rails surround the double sink vanity.
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
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
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
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.
20. Work on the Functionality of the Modern Dark Kitchen
Visualizer:İbrahim Ethem KISACIK
This dark modern kitchen makes sure it’s as functional as is stylish. The central island is paired with a black dining table, while all necessary appliances are fixed into the cabinetry. We also see pendant lights and lighting under the hood providing just the right illumination.
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
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. 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).
23. Add the Industrial Style to the All Black Kitchen
Via:Emotion School
Industrial style lovers, rejoice! This is THE inspiration to set up your favorite interior design style, the dark way. This kitchen uses rustic wood and exposed elements for the ceiling to create an industrial black kitchen interior.
24. Make a Statement with Black Chunky Lamps

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
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!
31. Consider a Black and Wooden Bar
