When living space is limited, it’s time to get creative - and it doesn’t hurt to move to a minimalist mind set. That’s what happened after the purchase of two homes in Japan. Unusual layouts and creative division of area brought about unexpected changes in floor height. The designs, by Indot Design , seek only to meet the basic needs of the homeowners, without faltering into a feeling of emptiness. Hidden storage compartments and sleek units keep the minimalist rooms free from the noise of clutter and colour. The interiors stand awash with calm and minimalist Japanese design, predominantly based in white with pale grey accents, and light wood elements to turn up the thermostat of visual warmth.

It’s not hard to see why this unusual Japanese home renovation won a micro space project award. Spanning a very narrow 60 square metres, this ingenious home design overcame great challenges by implementing creative zoning techniques. The minimalist living room beds down inside a recess in the floor, where a bespoke sofa design and TV wall make full use of its limited width. A Bull storage ottoman adds a little character.
The story of this home design began with a client who wanted to keep their elderly parents close to them, after their parents decided to downsize. A small and narrow house was purchased in the hope that it could become a comfortable and sociable living area, with enough space for other family members to come visit too.
A step down into the lounge area conceals storage space beneath its tread. A wall of storage along one entire side of the house makes it possible to stow away items that would make the small area feel cluttered. The sleek white cabinets go almost unnoticed, and so aren’t oppressive on the narrow living space.
The change in floor treatment over the wide step is a safety feature to make it more visible.
A safety barrier runs above the low set sofa. Armrests have been widened to be more noticeable in their low position. A grill in the TV cabinet increases ventilation.
The kitchen diner is open plan with the living room, which means many people can socialise or watch a movie together.
LED strips serve a night light function. The bedroom is situated behind the lounge TV wall with a glass partition. Its sliding doors allow the bedroom to be opened up to living space.
A bench is fitted to the wall along the open plan living room, as additional seating for guests.
White kitchen cabinets pale into the background of the long room, pushed to the outermost corner to leave a large sociable area where many people can gather and chat.
A large dining table was paramount for big family dinners.
The minimalist dining table is extended by the adjoined kitchen island.
Window wall storage units serve as kitchen cabinets too.
The depth of the storage units form deep window sills that double as comfortable window seats. Seating locations across the home, over different heights, form intermediary spaces to sit and stay–and places where family members can come gather together again.
A stylish cut puts the kitchen island right inside the dining table.
Above the table, a simple linear suspension light suits the minimalist aesthetic.
With the sliding room divider retracted, we can see the living room TV wall doubles as a bedroom TV wall on its opposite side.
To save space in the elevated bedroom ‘box’, the bed bases were discounted; mattresses lay directly on the floor.
One walkway links the spaces, with an Italian floor coating. The bathroom stands opposite the bedroom.
Original floor plan. The recess at the centre inspired the core positioning of the lounge.
Finished floor plan. On the entrance side, we see there is a wardrobe combined with a locker room, which creates a porch interface.
In Taipei, Taiwan, an overcrowded urbanized environment enforced limitation of space for our second set of homeowners. Although the area was static, life had to be allowed to change and flow between work and leisure time.
It’s difficult to control the distance between people in a bustling city–and in this home of just 60 sqm. However, a dynamic solution brought about freedom. After taking all partitions back to zero, the designers built a predominantly open field with few obstacles. Then, sliding walls were installed that could either separate or integrate the space.
Large furniture items were placed flush with the sliding doors, and some pieces even slip into specialised slots cut into the moving planes.
The boundary of space is blurred and gentle. The living room is sometimes adjoined with the workspace, and at other times with the bedroom.
A raised wooden walkway begins up by the pillows in the white bedroom , and runs the length of the window wall. Storage compartments are hidden inside the platform.
Glass sliding doors separate the bedroom from the kitchen side.
The homeowners can reconsider the division of space in a moment, and change public and private sectors.
The partitions add both attractive and practical options for layout, where every day can ring the changes.
The kitchen disappears behind full height white cabinet doors.
Cheese holes in the thick sliding door allows borrowed light to permeate and form fascinating soft shadows.
Simple white shelves back the work/dining area.
Perfect cuts make transitions effortless.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

18. Create a Modern Dark Kitchen with Gradients

Yet another kitchen that uses black and wooden elements to create a dark-themed interior. What sets this one apart is the hanging pans.

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.
