This comfortable minimalist interior is a haven of calm with pure, warm white walls, matching plush furniture, and soft floor coverings. Visualized by Z Vision , this home design is large and luxurious whilst retaining a serenely laconic and pared-back scheme. The living space is an inviting open concept with an impressive double-height void. Towering windows fill the space with natural light that gently diffuses through sheer white voiles. A modernly styled Asian tea room dips below the mezzanine level, though it still boasts a generous ceiling height above its stunning travertine table. The home also features a remarkable cinema room with a star-like light installation, and a cute balcony full of adventure for the homeowners’ cat.
The double-height living room is both impressive and comforting in its generous dimensions and peaceful color scheme. The sofa is situated in the brightest spot, stretched out between massive dual-aspect windows. The tea room nestles cozily underneath the overhanging mezzanine.
A round rug helps to zone the main living space from the open-plan tea room. A modern lounge chair and a unique bench seat edge the area rug, alongside the curved couch. The TV wall stands opposite, with decorative log storage tucked in its base.
A round glass coffee table adds natural wood tone to the center of the white living room with spherical walnut feet. On top of the table, an ornamental ring echoes its outline. A stack of coffee table books provides more casual adornment.
The log storage nook is clad with travertine that subtly warms the white home interior, and complements the light wood tone floor.
A ceiling-mounted fireplace descends from the underside of the mezzanine floor. In this position, it warms both the lounge area and the adjacent tea room. Behind the tea table, LED strips strike a warm glow around a wall of storage cabinets. This feature is echoed in the mezzanine room above.
Up on the mezzanine, a home library is simply furnished with a wall of made-to-measure storage cabinets and shelves. A round rug marks out a cozy reading nook with a comfortable reading chair .
A faux fur rug adds warmth and texture to the unique chair. A slender black floor reading lamp and a rustic wood side table complete the reading nook ensemble.
The minimalist kitchen is a U-shaped installation of units with a dining island at its core.
Four modern dining chairs add a sculptural element to the stark room.
A decorative bowl provides a textural dining table centerpiece.
The first minimalist bedroom design is fashioned with warm shades of white and slender black accents.
A circular light installation adds a unique feature to the simple room design.
The walk in wardrobe is a luxurious space filled with bespoke garment cabinets, drawers, shoe storage shelves, and custom-cut mirrors.
LED strips bring the closet to life.
The master bathroom is a generously sized space with an eye-catching stone bathroom sink and a fabulous half-moon vanity mirror. A ribbon of LED light accentuates the mirror’s widely curved edge.
A glass bathtub adds a warm hint of espresso to the space, softly illuminated in natural light from the floor-to-ceiling bathroom window.
In the shower enclosure, a rainfall shower head appears to extrude from the ceiling itself.
The second bedroom design conveys a more tailored approach, with a sleek wall of headboard paneling behind the platform bed . An orb bedside table lamp is set on a striking stone ledge, which bridges the gap between the bed and the dressing room.
The modern home office offers another wall of custom storage, which helps to keep the minimalist home free from clutter. Marble shelves cut through the center of the storage wall, applying a beautiful touch of luxe. A black desk has a commanding presence against the light backdrop.
In the modern kid’s room , a unique kid’s chair is shaped to look like a cozy porthole. For the first time in this home, a flash of green injects uplifting energy. A set of steps lead to platforms above the built-in chair and bed to increase play space in the room. See more ideas for kids’ beds .
The kid’s bathroom design is small and succinct. A floating vanity unit makes the floor space appear larger by keeping it clear. A wide vanity mirror increases the sense of space.
In the home theater, the light decor palette prevails with white walls and a white curved sofa design. A white projector camouflages into the ceiling color.
A round faux skylight glows above the curved sofa, whilst a galaxy of star-like spotlights shine beside the projector wall.
A round coffee table places a weighty black accent at the center of the room. The coffee table provides a visual anchor in the white space until the lights go down. Then, the black table fades away into the shadows rather than distracting from the movie.
The covered balcony is used as a haven for the feline members of the family. Stylish cat furniture is applied at each end of the small balcony to build a playroom and relaxation space.
A variety of open-sided and closed-in nooks are available to suit the cat’s moods and needs.
Modern landscaping includes clean white pebbles, stepping stones, and render, plus a majestic tree.
A garden statue appears to dance across a bridge above the water feature in the courtyard, illuminated by outdoor lamps.

Moody modern and traditional melds. Sleek bespoke cabinetry makes a sharp statement at either side of a platform bed.

Designer:Chu–Gooding
Statement pieces from two different ages. Counterbalance a large and traditional painting with an equally large and modern light installation to make a striking juxtaposition.

Sharp modern meets soft and mellow. This sharply perforated wooden headboard design would look at home in a minimalist setting or a raw industrial space. However, in this eclectic bedroom design, it is teamed with a much softer boho throw and an elegant pale Persian rug. It provides great contrast against the white bed frame and the wall.
Visualizer:Abou Samra Designs
Style through the ages. Neoclassical wall panels and an art deco-inspired bed design make a gloriously decorative ensemble. You may think that houndstooth print is a relatively modern touch, but the first houndstooth check actually dates back to between 360 BC and 100 BC!

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
Source:Modulnova
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
Via:HomePicture.in
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
Visualizer:Amir Emami
This is the ultimate modern luxury black kitchen! After all, what’s better than displaying your favorite collection of beer right behind the black kitchen island? The low-hanging pendant lights also add to the black kitchen design.
32. Add the Gothic Vibe
Visualizer:Sebastian Lorio
This dark-gray kitchen is super simple with its sleek, hardware-less cabinetry. Well, except the far left end. Here, we see a statement piece of art and intriguing layered lighting created a focal point.
33. Stick to the Minimalist Style for Black Kitchens
Visualizer:Miguel A. Ramos
This compact kitchen space follows the simple rule: white walls paired with black cabinetry and an island. Even in this nook, the space is able to make a style statement while providing optimal functionality. The window here gives a contrasting element of light to the otherwise dark modern kitchen.
34. Layer Lighting in the All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Tatiana Durnescu
We see shades of gray and black coming together to bring this modern dark kitchen to life. What we especially love is the multiple types of lighting, all layered together to bring visual interest to the space.
35. Set the Backdrop For Your Living Space
Visualizer:Sasha Zolotukhin
