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 the colour of breakfast pancakes. What if your kitchen broke the mould? These collection of stunning spaces for cooking, entertaining, and eating are among 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 darker redesign could be for you.

Almost all-resplendent in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood. Textures do the talking in a matte table under, granite bench and black wood-panelled walls.

Edging closer towards the wooden, this black beauty incorporates white in a speckled floor, white wall and central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over an all-black segment. A monochromatic piece ties it all together.

Steel and chrome feature in this darker space. Matched by an almost-black art piece at its entrance, only a wooden dining table and chrome swaying lights break the tone.

A bit of curve rounds out hard edges. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior.

Industrial is the word to describe this living space, backgrounded by black. A large winding ventilator fan and SMEG fridge block give white, while the majority converts to black.
Visualizer: Panda Fox Studios
A simplistic look makes a black kitchen a winner. Clean black panels pop out beside a wooden knife holder and potted plant.

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.

An engraved ‘kitchen’ states the obvious in this natural piece, radiant with living walls. Granite-look walling with black and wooden cabinetry leaves room for feature chrome.

Take another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries. The room tilts as black and white, black and glass alternate in this chic kitchen. Cherry blossoms note the location.

Make the move to brown in this warmer-looking kitchen, where brown matches against a lighter wood and hints of black. You can almost feel your tastebuds tingling.
Visualizer: Jean Regauer
Monochrome can make a darker kitchen – if black still rules. Near-chequered black and white panelling upon shiny black leads up to copper-lined hanging lamps. A brown rug segments the next space.
Architect: Chamberlain Javens Architects
Marble is a welcome partner in this large-panelled space, shaped in blocks. A light wooden floor gives it space to dominate.
Visualizer: Tomek Michalski
Mood-lighting sets the scene in black and grey, while a marbled bench acts the hero. Distinguished by distinctive patterns, the back inlet and flooring create contrast and depth.

Put the bachelor in your kitchen with a masculine black interior. Featuring slick black cabinetry, charcoal walls and simple stencils, all a man needs is a white bench to call his own.
Visualizer: Mitaka Dimov
Gear up for the metallic, with this example for inspiration. In black top-to-toe cabinetry with a grey concrete floor, a thick gold panel adds a luxurious element.
Visualizer: Aeroslon
Make your kitchen both modern and French with this traditional black cabinetry. Standing armoires act as sinks and large mason jars features, as the white clock acts the focal point to the side.
Visualizer: Leu Khanh
More Scandinavian in nature, this kitchen proliferates in wood, giving black a back seat. Painted brick charcoal walls designate, while white walls segue to another room. Metal handles elongate the space.
Visualizer: Julia Sultanova
Pastels can work in a dark kitchen space. Matched by rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights, long mint cabinetry adds a soft touch.

Let black be the background in this black-and-wood creation, where accessories do the talking.
Visualizer: Polyviz Studio
Large, wooden panes of painted black make a stand in this kitchen, highlighted by drops of wood. Large windows let in light, a Japanese landscape and potted plants.
Visualizer: HDR Designer
Even neat square panels that line up perfectly emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here.
Visualizer: Branko Novak
Dark kitchens also work at the beach. All-navy cabinetry provides a stable influence for a black kitchen top and wooden aspects. Bright and busy feature walls drown out the boring.
Visualizer: Anna Fedyukina
Embracing dark’s artier side, midnight blue colours cabinetry in this slate-floored space. Lit by three amber pumpkin lights, a greyscale portrait and black stooling accentuate its depth.
Visualizer: Plasterlina
Pops of colour magnify warm tones in this coffee-coloured kitchen. Wooden panels beside a coffee-brick wall induce thirst and hunger.
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.
Visualizer: Huso
Build a shape out of darker building blocks. This kitchen cuts a space in black-hued cabinetry and a wood-clad wall.
Visualizer: Mario Nogueira
A shaded space mystifies in this kitchen, with gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in walls and a monochromatic hanging light.
Visualizer: Nefeli Kallianou
Textures come into play in this metallic matte kitchen, breaking a light and bright space. Large panels provide character to an otherwise simple room.
Visualizer: İbrahim Ethem KISACIK
Tonal contrasts are subtler in this white-to-black kitchen. Three hanging lights demarcate the focal space, made quirky by pops of kitschy turquoise. Grey concrete floors add modernity.
Visualizer: A&L Interior Design
Black panelling lets warm wood take virtue in this kitchen, simplistic in its classic lines and clean modern lighting.
Visualizer: Polygon
Yet another kitchen that uses modern lighting to truly stand apart.
Designer: Javier Wainstein
An all-grey kitchen adds elegance with an industrial twist. A multi-drawered bench is lit by three hanging lamps. A large extractor fan adds a new shape. A floor and seated space in lighter grey create blocks, offering depth.
Visualizer: Emotion School
Thick, masculine lines steal the scene in this industrial kitchen, set on a distressed floor. Statement wooden cabinetry and black wooden railings centre a space shrouded in Japanese windows and ceiling railway lines.
All eyes focus on the two hanging lamps in this monochromatic setting. Adding focus allows smaller elements and a white panelled inset to shine.
Visualizer: JW Renders
Lights play another central role in this zen-inspired cooking space. Black frames white marble, which rejoinders with a landing strip.
Visualizer: Maxim Goryachev
Black leaves room for the little details, reducing clutter. As unstructured hanging lights sweep the ceiling, rows of wood and black shelving hold family keepsakes.
