Wood and concrete come together to create a sleek yet industrial cool aesthetic in these two small apartment interiors, designed by Svoya Studio . With each measuring under 50 square metres, the designers on these projects had to get creative with zoning. The sleep space in both homes has been elevated, in a way that not only achieves clear zoning but builds a sense of grandeur despite the meagre proportions of each property. Kitchens are not crammed here, but instead stretch out in a way that goes modestly unnoticed. We finish off with floor plans of each apartment, which reveal the details of these clever layouts, and some hidden storage systems.

Our first home is a studio apartment measuring just 39 square metres, located in Odessa, Ukraine. The bed area is zoned on a grey marble podium, which stands about the height of a divan base. A wooden step up to the marble podium gives it a sense of added grandeur, and the illusion of entering a new room.

A Shōji screen style room divider obscures the view of the bed whilst sitting on the sofa, but allows all the light from the windows into the main living area. A concrete wall makes a more solid divide between the bedroom and the dining spot.

By night, the concrete room divider is lit from a recess in the ceiling, which floods ambient light down its raw industrial texture.

In the living area, a round coffee table duo and a small grey sofa fit neatly into the limited floor space–though the wide arms of the sofa give it a more substantial look. Mini pendant lights dandle at one end of the seating, where a floor lamp would have been a squeeze.

A row of fitted closets are installed by the home entryway, finished in white to blend quietly with the white wall.

Both the sofa and the head of the bed look toward the wall mounted TV, so on screen entertainment can be had from either location. The TV wall is clad in wood grain panelling, lit warmly around its ceiling perimeter with recessed LED light.

A Fiddle Leaf Fig has been given a home up in the bedroom, where it can take in sunlight from the windows.

The kitchen is a simple handle-free white slab fronted design, so as not to overwhelm its small home.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 9

A grey marble upstand and countertop match with the grey marble bedroom podium. The adjacent kitchen wall has cabinets set into the wood faced wraparound of the TV wall. A single wall shelf crosses the small kitchen , accessorised in a minimalist fashion.

Another small decorative vase forms the centrepiece of the round dining table . Two dining chairs and a bench seat wrap around it, all with a view of the window.

The dining bench is mounted onto the marble tile bedroom podium, with the concrete room divider forming a back rest.

The same slimline pendant light design as used over the couch is utilised in the dining area too, creating calm continuity in the small open plan home.

The grey, white, and wood colour scheme continues inside the bathroom. Grey stone tiles back the shower enclosure. A wooden vanity unit is mounted onto a wall of white tiles.

The bathroom vanity light is a bar suspension design that distributes light evenly along the length of the wash area.

Staying in Odessa, Ukraine, we move to a one-bedroom apartment measuring 47 square metres.

The same serene white and wood colourway, with grey concrete elements, shape our second home tour. Another raised bedroom separates the floor plan.

In this home layout, the kitchen island cuts right through the centre of the living space, where it builds a half wall between the lounge/dining room and the home entryway.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 19

Two steps climb the back of the kitchen island, to give access to the raised bedroom.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 20

A slimline chimney cooker hood and a suspension bar light cause minimal disruption to the flow of the room. Looking through, we see a large L-shaped blue sofa bordering the dark grey living room, and a characterful print from Valery and Katerina Kuznetsov.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 21

A view of the sea can be had from the bedroom, which is why glass was chosen for its construction. The glass walls open up the sea panorama to the entire apartment. A textile curtain can be pulled around whenever privacy is desired.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 22

The raised bedroom podium provides opportunity for hidden storage in the space beneath it. Another storage system spans an entire wall between the entry door and the bedroom, and conceals the bathroom.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 23

The concrete wall between the bedroom and lounge forms a TV feature wall. A collection of decorative vases and candles dress the wooden plinth.

A grey bed fills most of the compact bedroom space. Matching grey bedclothes complete its dominating block.

Inside the shower room there is a built-in storage tower, which shelves towels, face cloths and toiletries by the side of the sink. A black vanity unit extends out of the shelving tower, stopping just short of the shower screen.

Wood And Concrete Works Wonders In 2 Small Spaces (With Floor Plans) - 27

The plan shows the hidden bathroom, concealed within a run of plain white closet doors. We also observe the waning angle of the storage system outside the bathroom and in the kitchen, which create the illusion of a much squarer living room.

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.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

1. Make it an All Black Kitchen

modern dark kitchen - 79

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

black and white modern kitchen - 80

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

white and black modern kitchen - 82

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

white island in black modern kitchen - 86

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

mysterious black kitchen with marble island - 88

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

french style black kitchen - 90

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

all black matte kitchen - 93

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

black kitchen interior with stenciling - 94

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

modern black kitchen with gradients - 96

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.

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