Located in Kyiv, Ukraine, this 45 square metre studio apartment comes alive with pink and purple elements. A taffy pink modern sofa is separated from a run of pink and white kitchen cabinets by a solid purple island.
Concrete decor brings in an industrial style that hardens the sweet color palette. Indoor plants enliven the utilitarian backdrop.
Stylish kitchen bar stools pull up to the reverse side of the purple kitchen island, overlooking the sofa toward the TV. A linear suspension light drops from the concrete ceiling.
Large windows bring lots of natural light into the room, along with green views that contrast freshly with the pink and purple accents.
A window nook next to the pink kitchen is furnished as a small sitting area, complete with a pink lounge chair to match the neighbouring cabinets.
Purple tube lights beam brightly around a hallway vanity shelf.
More tube lights project a purple glow within the sleeping nook of the studio apartment. The two tubes create a vertical stripe from the ceiling to a floor bed design .
Bespoke shelving and storage are integrated into the back of the hallway volume.

A deep sky blue sofa shakes up the pink and purple plan in our second home interior, in the shape of a unique fabric and metal sofa design.
Purple coated framework forms the arms and backrests of the unusual piece. A translucent cobalt blue side table wraps its edge.
A projection wall displays the time when not in use.
White column speakers flank the ends of a black wall hung media unit, building a crisp monochrome aesthetic. Pink mood lighting spills color across the floor.
A stylised Mickey Mouse and a Most Illustrious Michele De Lucchi sculpture adorn the floating media unit, along with a bunch of tech. Looks like they could use a headphone stand on there too.
Over in the kitchen diner, a unique purple stemmed table manages to grab attention despite bright pink contenders.
Pink linear pendants form a striking modern dining chandelier .
A pink splashback marks out a small area for coffee making and prep.
Illuminated sockets give the kitchen a cutting-edge flourish.

We take things down a notch as we tour the interior of a tiny studio in Thessaloniki, Greece. A plum colored sofa has one end set right inside of an arched niche. A botanical background grows a feeling of the great outdoors to prevent the space from seeming uncomfortably closed in. Unique hanging planters continue the garden theme to the other end of the couch.
A powder pink statement ceiling paints an illusion of spaciousness.
Round nesting coffee tables echo the curves of a classic architectural column and arches.
Two golden kitchen pendant lights dangle from the pink ceiling like a pair of oversize drop earrings. A chunky wood topped peninsula is deliciously curved around its edges.
A blue bedroom pendant light pops against a grey panel ceiling, whilst a matching blue archway makes a colorful mount for a modern wall sconce at one bedside. On the other side of the bed, a tall book ladder balances out the look of the headboard wall.
The bedroom floor is a combination of pink terrazzo and herringbone wood planking. The herringbone planking travels up the wall of a workspace in the bedroom, where the wood joins with yellow accents to make a warm and inviting aesthetic.
A mirrored cover slides across the arched doorway between the bedroom and living room, disguising the door as just another part of the decor.
Blue and yellow tiles come together with pink shelf linings in the bathroom to make a candy colored combo.
Designer:Karim Rashid
Designer Karim Rashid’s 1600 square foot Chelsea apartment is delightfully outrageous! Metallic pink, purple, silver and gold upholstery covers the sofa like a big candy wrapper. Color explodes across the rest of the living room in multicolor art, accessories, rugs, and statement furniture pieces.
South and west facing windows offer views to the Hudson River, though there is more than enough to keep the eye amused here indoors.
The unique chess set featured here is the Bozart Karim Rashid chess set .
A sculptural dining pendant light drops an unexpectedly dark note into the vivid decor scheme.
A white console table employs texture rather than color to bring it into the forefront.
Karim’s Marburg wallpaper covers the kitchen and living room walls. Pink Lonseal Lonmetro UV flooring is laid in the living room, kitchen, and office.
A translucent glass wall and sliding pocket door have replaced the partition wall between the bedroom and living room
Unique sinks and coordinated accessories color the pink bathroom .
Set in the scenic beauty of Clifton, on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, this 789 square metre home occupies a position on the hill side. Higher situated residences climb to the right, and lower lying houses to the left, in a neighbourhood shaped by fortress-like boundary walls and building mass. Malan Vorster Architects decided to ring the changes, and placed focus on making this house contribute to the streetscape, a place frequented by joggers, walkers and tourists. Rather than being bound by blank perimeter walls, the design places landscaping level with the sidewalk. Planted gabion walls disguise a large garage, and screen utilities. Components have been organically stacked to break up the building mass.

Indoor-outdoor living spaces connect across a large landscaped courtyard.
Seascape panorama and wide views to the north are enjoyed from a comfortable patio, manicured lawn, and projected pool design.
Roof overhangs minimise unwanted solar heat gain, along with considered glazing specifications and automated drop-down screens over glass façades.
The natural materials and Corten steel elements will gradually change in colour and texture, expressing the passing of time.
Board-marked concrete builds a brutalist exterior , whilst local stone and untreated cedar wood bring a natural element to the design.
Oak planks and terrazzo floors collide with muted upholstery to fashion a chic neutral interior.
Glass doors retract to adjoin the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Tall grasses feather the stepped transition.
A number of eating areas are dotted throughout the impressively sized home, but the largest dining set is situated out on the covered patio. Ten chairs surround a long dining table that has a privileged view of the ocean.
All the way at the opposite end of the second level there is an attractive kitchen with a dining island, pantry, and scullery. The kitchen doors open out onto stepping stones that cross the pretty little pond on the property.
The pond is situated in its own private vegetable and herb garden, separated from the larger lawn by the protruding wing of the house. Fountains pour and bubble into the body of water, creating a relaxing soundtrack.
The kitchen is stacked with attractive storage options, from regular cabinets and open shelves to spice drawers and display nooks.
draw particular attention to the generously sized kitchen island. Its long stretch is topped with decorative vases , a modern fruit bowl , and the kitchen sink.
A gold faucet shines richly against the black countertop of the kitchen island .
is taken care of elsewhere in the property, in a wine cellar down on Level 1.
The cellar stands just at the bottom of the staircase that leads off the kitchen. A story-high mechanical sash window opens the double height atrium to the herb garden and pond, adding natural cooling during the hottest months.
The staircase design is open and light, free of risers to allow the natural daylight and garden view to penetrate from the vast window at its side.
Thin metal balustrades strike through its sculptural rise.
An attractive landing bridges the stairwell.
Cross-ventilation cools the upper volumes.
To minimise energy consumption, solar panels are linked to the centralized system for domestic water heating, plus waterborne under-floor and pool heating.
In the bedrooms, unique ceiling fans help to cool the space.
Bespoke closets meld with wood wall panelling. Stylish bedside tables and swing arm wall lamps fit neatly within a headboard niche.
The bathroom is fitted with a luxuriously large walk-in shower enclosure and a long double sink bathroom vanity . Natural timber elements bring great warmth to crisp white bathroom decor, whilst heavy black window frames add a bold edge.
A sleek bathtub fits precisely in the window. Bathrooms situated either end of the main volume are expressed as glazed and cedar shuttered boxes, which become lit like lanterns at night.
Gabion walls elevate the living spaces above the garage. The elevation above road level is essential to maximize view potential on the other side of the property, but the gabion has been planted so that it will become overgrown to soften the streetscape for passers-by in time.
The main residence is broken into three concrete building blocks. Thin floor slabs visually separate the structural elements, and in being cantilevered over negative space below they exaggerate the stacked aesthetic. The guest flatlet on the first floor has a cedar wood shuttered wall to provide privacy from the road whilst remaining connected to the view.

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
