Captivating copper accents cause bright and lustrous disruptions through these two dramatically dark grey home interiors. The effect is warming, alluring and luxe, and elevates the overall mood. This rich palette has been expertly utilised to shape sophisticated living rooms with depth and intrigue, and to fashion a spectacular copper-covered kitchen design. We’ll also continue these tours on through a plethora of beautiful grey bedroom designs and stylish modern bathrooms with real wow factor. Be sure to take a peek at the unique floor plan included at the end of the second featured home too, where you’ll find a highly unusual curved home layout of challenging wedge-shaped rooms.
In a 100 square metre private house in Norway, a smoky grey modular sofa and matching rug set out a lounge area within dark grey microcement walls. The dark finish also covers the ceiling of the living room in its entirety, to create one complete grey cocoon.
A modern coffee table contrasts darkly against the lighter grey rug. A black throw repeats the two-tone contrast on a nearby lounge chair. Floor to ceiling patio doors fill the dark decor with a glorious influx of natural light and lush green forest views.
A textural canvas stamps out a black silhouette in the midst of a bright LED border.
White dining room pendant lights tumble from the ceiling, punctuating the dark and shadowy surroundings. A thin LED trim edges the base of the walls in place of skirting board.
The assortment of dining room pendant lights form a sculptural arrangement over the chic solid wood round dining table. A simple glass flower vase provides the table centrepiece.
Modern brown dining chairs make a tonal connection with a copper-covered kitchen design at the back of the open plan.
The copper kitchen lustres in the atmospheric perimeter lighting, and comes alive under sunlight from the large windows. Copper cabinet fronts cause a spectacular shimmer across the face of the kitchen perimeter, whilst custom copper tiles build the backsplash.
An indoor plant installs a delicate vista inside of an open doorway just off the kitchen, where the decor palette shifts into a lighter grey spectrum.
A trio of modern wall sconces adds illumination to a small vanity nook. A Sierra chair places a coppery brown accent alongside the dark grey vanity table and matching grey slatted wardrobes.
In the bedroom, an upholstered bed contributes an uplifting sage green accent to grey cement surroundings.
The green bed beautifully pulls in nature’s own accent that grows just outside of the bedroom windows. Plain grey drapes hang an understated frame around the forest panorama.
Inside the bathroom, a custom cut vanity mirror vastly increases the sense of space. Three bathroom vanity lights have their presence doubled in the glass.
Floating shelves and a wall mounted bathroom sink protrude from the frameless mirror.
An open shower area is screened behind a partition wall.
This 344.09 square metre apartment is situated in the residential complex Skyline, in Kyiv, Ukraine. This time, copper accents are flattened to a more matt finish across partition walls and load-bearing columns. A large area rug rolls out a soft grey base for a plush lounge suite.
Matching floor lamps dot task lighting around the large living space.
A terracotta sculpture melds with the copper wall panels.
The apartment was designed as a Kyiv base for a travelling businessman from Switzerland. Rugged rock feature walls welcome him home to his periodic place of residence.
A square dining table stands at the centre of the large living space, creating a theatrical first impression for personal guests and business acquaintances. Four oversized dining room pendant lights expand upon the drama.
A double workspace is set up inside the home office, allowing the Swiss businessman to comfortably take meetings and work on collaborations during his stay in Kyiv.
Bookshelves line one of the dark walls, creating an opportunity to bring in a pop of colour via book covers.
A huge round mirror, a stylish upholstered bench, and a set of stem pendant lights make up a modern vignette inside the dark grey dressing room.

When decorating in dark colours, you can find yourself in a mundanely monochrome and featureless rut. In this collection of daringly dark interior designs, we look at how to introduce deep and intriguing textures within sculptural art walls, rugged rock face feature walls, au currant ribbed panel elements, expanses of tilework and industrial style tinted concrete. We’ll observe how atmospheric lighting schemes accentuate the 3D elements, and how bright accent hues lift individual furniture pieces off black and grey canvases to create crisp definition. Dark decor schemes like these aren’t for the fainthearted, but being bold brings about big rewards of unique living spaces, elegant dining rooms, cosy bedrooms, and all round wow factor.
Colourful accent furniture builds excitement within a daring, dark decor scheme. This uber modern yellow sofa strikes a bright accent through the centre of our first living space. A 3D wall treatment artistically sculpts the black feature wall behind the lounge and dining areas with abstract shapes that rise and fall in the shadows.
Not everything needs to stand out. This low lying round coffee table seems to extrude from the matching plain black area rug. It’s shallow profile complements the modern sofa’s sleek frame.
The aligned flames of a modern fireplace dance even more brightly in dark surrounds. A couple of upholstered poufs effectively extend the curved sofa’s playful accent colour.
Smooth, handle-free storage units create a useful and attractive frame around a TV.
Perimeter LEDs spill a gentle trickle of light down the camouflaged cabinet fronts, which consolidate into a chic grey accent wall.
Two dining room pendant lights are paired up to span the full length of the dining table, bringing it brightly off the black backdrop.
The light tabletop is contrasted by black modern dining chairs along each side.
The head and foot of the wide dining table remain spaciously unoccupied.
The slick grey cabinetry aesthetic returns in the home entryway, where bespoke wardrobes store bulky outdoor wear and large cleaning appliances.
A matching grey entryway table floats across a frameless, custom cut mirror that bounces natural light into the shadowy niche.
The yellow accent makes a stir in this darkly decorated space too, as a useful pouf seated by the front entrance door.
Our second dark interior example is an elegant space that was created for a young couple with a penchant for modern design. A rich, tonal meld of neutral shades and contrasting materials make a unique impact. A fantastic black rock face climbs behind the dining area, undulating deep texture and drama, whilst cabinetry behind the lounge is flat and flawless.
A glass vase places a warm amber accent onto the black glass coffee table. A plush grey rug tightly defines the lounge zone from the closely neighbouring dining area.
A white feature wall ripples inside of a midnight black frame. A cobalt blue ceramic vase adds an unexpected bolt of bright colour.
Slatted panels add en vogue texture to the black bedroom design. A modern chandelier and floor lamp combine to create the form of a majestic, illuminated tree.
Black pendant lights illuminate small bedside tables that are embraced within a wide winged headboard.
An ensuite bathroom stands open on each side of a narrow partition wall, giving direct access to two unique pedestal sinks.
An imposing rock face feature wall dominates the room from behind the bathtub.
Golden wood tone makes warm contrast against the cool black rock.
Inside our third home tour, a textured black tile effect feature wall rises behind the TV. A pair of modern wall sconces perforate the darkness.
Charcoal grey upholstery shades the sectional sofa, whilst a beige rug plays a lighter note.
Terrazzo flooring brings light pattern to the whole open plan living space as one seamless expanse.
A red accent chair rounds out the lounge arrangement with an unexpected moment of heat.
Red indoor plants expand upon the accent theme.
A large rectangle dining table and ten chairs divide the lounge from a one wall kitchen with island.
Another pair of modern wall sconces light a wall of white tile in the kitchen, which counterbalances the black TV wall opposite.
An induction hob and integrated extraction unit create a sleek finish across the kitchen island.
Huge edge-to-edge windows fill the large living space with daylight.
Black tinted microcement darkly decorates a small snug/movie room. Unique modern wall lights fan white accents against the textured sofa wall.
A stone coffee table matches the shade of a grey area rug.
Sliding slatted doors screen off the snug without closing it in, which ensures that the dark colour scheme does not feel oppressive.
A projector screen draws down the focal wall, descending to meet with a linear black media unit that melds with its dark microcement setting.
An indoor plant introduces delicate freshness to the industrial grey concrete decor scheme.
Slatted wardrobe doors disrupt the smooth cement.
The second shadowy bedroom scheme is defined by a unique mural.
Abstract shapes paint a monochrome landscape across the room. A bespoke headboard with integrated bedside units sets a solid black base.
A glossy white chest of drawers reflects light from a huge bedroom window.
Our final dark, textured home design has an indoor area of 1779 square feet, and resides next to the Xinbei Guandu Bridge. The river facing plot offers magnificent views of the mountains. A volcanic rock feature wall complements the home’s natural setting.
Natural, environmentally friendly, art mineral paints were used, alongside a cement ceiling, aged and rust mottled steel beams, and a wood herringbone flooring.
White curtains keep the window wall bright. A white L-shaped couch draws the light element into the centre of the room.
A round black coffee table coordinates with the fabulous black rock feature wall.
A floating black unit strikes a slick glossy black accent against the rough rock.
Grey scatter cushions and a matching woollen throw subtly break up the white sectional sofa.
Recessed spotlights puncture the linear concrete ceiling treatment.
Strip lights dash bright linear highlights throughout the room.
A modern home office area is situated at the back of the room, with the desk occupying the space directly behind the sofa. A wall of built-in bookshelves form a black backdrop.
A tan lounge chair complements the rust coloured metal ceiling beams.
When the desk is not in use for work, an assortment of coffee table books and glass vases transform the desktop into an attractive sofa table. Decorative items are also displayed within the bespoke bookcases, where they are warmly backlit to create a cosy evening ambiance.
Mesh dining room pendant lights create a sparkling sculptural arrangement above a rounded rectangle dining table. A luxe white marble tabletop reflects the atmospheric glow.
The modern dining area runs off one side of the small kitchen island. The main body of the kitchen is neatly concealed from view behind secretive sliding doors. Buddhist artwork instills a zen-like feeling of calm.
All technology is hidden from view to evoke a complete sense of peace, and a deep connection with the pace of nature that awaits just outside of the window.
Moving on into the master bedroom, we arrive behind a centrally placed headboard. The modern winged headboard design defines a clear walkway into the bedroom, and a dressing area in front of the wardrobes.
The unique headboard wraps a solid, orange cocoon around the head of the bed.
A vanity table stands across from the foot of the bed, accessorised simply with a leaning vanity mirror and a modern vase of foliage.
In the second bedroom, muted orange paintwork fashions a split wall treatment around the perimeter.
A desk/dressing table crosses the top of the low mounted bedside unit. A wood effect backboard unites all of the bedroom furniture together as one fluid piece. A white and wood modern wall sconce lights one bedside, whilst a slender wood pendant light descends over the other. See more inspiration for bedroom pendant lights here.
