Without the right lighting, accents, and strong silhouettes, dark interior design can be dull or just downright depressing. With thoughtful accents, a dark decor scheme is mysterious, exciting, and deep. Thoughtful lighting puts focus on feature points in the room, creating glowing vistas of style and wonder. To illustrate, we're featuring inspirational home interiors that offer two contrasting alternatives to setting up a deliciously dark decor scheme. Home design number one is a saturation of ebony black with luxurious introductions of mood lighting where you'd least expect it. Our second tour takes us to a smaller abode, where the decor is lightened slightly to a charcoal and graphite combination that builds a cosy cocoon.
In our first inspirational example of modern dark interior design, a large modular sofa arrangement forms an island of deep comfort at the centre of the shadows.
One side of the sectional sofa composition is faced towards a projector screen, which lights up an entire wall when in use.
The dark, projector-friendly living room gives an authentic cinema experience with low-level lighting and a hushed atmosphere. Light strips thinly thread around the edges of the room and up a small staircase to guide safe footfall.
A unique lounge chair stands opposite the sofa to round out the furniture arrangement. Its designer form is highlighted under the glow of the projector screen; a prominent shadow is cast at the foot of the neat chair, which enlarges its presence in the spacious room.
In front of the modular sofa, a modern coffee table has book storage in its base. Part of its surface is finished in white marble, which highlights the piece within the moody black surroundings.
A modern fireplace is unusually situated at the side of the room, where it blazes beneath an eye-catching lightbox feature. A unique floor lamp carries light into a dark corner nearby.
Small table lamps dot the black decor scheme with brief moments of illumination.
Intense dashes of light fall upon black wood grain panels to form an illuminated feature wall. The attention-grabbing installation aptly balances out the glow of the fireplace opposite.
A side table slots conveniently into the modular sofa arrangement.
In contrast to the rest of the shadowed interior, glass blocks bring glorious natural daylight flooding onto a modern staircase design. Black treads appear to float weightlessly up to the second floor.
A glass wall separates the living room from a chic tea room design.
Inside the tea room, a solidly backlit wall presents a pristine collection of tea paraphernalia.
In the kitchen, a white island countertop lies brightly in the black scheme beneath focussed spotlights. Brown dining chairs add notes of welcoming warmth.
The neater modern wall sconce is suitably paired with a small bedside table.
Recessed LED strips highlight the perimeter of the grey bathroom design. A black wall-hung toilet casts a disconnected shadow that emphasises its floating effect.
Instead of bathroom vanity lights, an additional ribbon of LED glow is emitted below the large vanity mirror to fall upon the bathroom sink and countertop.
The atmospheric lighting scheme continues inside of the walk-in shower area too, where matt black shower fixtures sink into the shadows. A black-framed, smoked-glass shower screen perfectly complements the dark aesthetic.
