While a completely white color palette might sound boring to some of you, I think this beautiful apartment (for sale via Bolaget) proves that you don’t necessarily need colors to make an interior look cozy and inviting. The color palette of this space is mainly white, mixed with natural wood tones and a few pops of beige.
The off-white kitchen with beige limestone countertops stands out against the crisp white walls, while the white sofas in the living room blend in with the wall color. The big walnut coffee table adds a beautiful contrast to the living room setting, which is reflected in the full-size mirror on the wall opposite the windows.
The bedroom shares the same color palette as the other rooms, with a mixture of white and off-white bedding on the bed and a large off-white custom wardrobe spread across the wall.
A minimal white living room with walnut accents
The two white sofas in the living room stand out on top of the off-white living room rug adding a cozy texture to the space. The organically shaped walnut coffee table and the walnut String TV shelf add a few darker tones to the setting.
The large arched mirror on the wall opposite the windows makes the space look much bigger. Along with the wall lamp in between the windows, it’s also the only wall decor present in this space.
An off-white kitchen with beige limestone countertops
The minimal and modern off-white kitchen stands out sightly against the white kitchen walls for a subtle effect. The lack of hardware on the cabinets enhances the minimal look.
A round dining table in the middle of the space is paired with a white fabric lampshade and off-white dining chairs that match the modest palette on this asymmetric floor plan.
The kitchen is custom-built into an awkward corner by the window, allowing for ample countertop space and a spot for the coffee machine.
The other side of the kitchen includes a low cupboard paired with a mirror on the wall, reflecting the daylight into this low-lit area of the kitchen.
Two oak wood wall shelves by the table are perfect for keeping glasses and a few subtle decor pieces.
A white bedroom with a built-in wardrobe
Following the rest of the apartment, the bedroom has a clean and minimal interior style as well. The arched mirror reflects the other room and gives the space some dimension.
The bed is made with a combination of white and off-white textiles, paired with beige black-out curtains, a teddy fabric headboard, and a fabric lampshade.
The custom wardrobe goes wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling, allowing lots of storage space. The cabinetry is the same as the one in the kitchen for a cohesive effect.

The curved walls of the bathroom are perfect to include a shower behind the pillar. The vertical subway tiles accentuate the height of the bathroom space.

A bedroom behind a glass partition wall

A bathroom with limestone tiles and chrome fixtures
Designing a black and white bathroom is a popular choice for renovations, helping to modernize the house and create a more modern bathroom appearance. However, there are endless options and styles to choose from, which can quickly become overwhelming and make an already large undertaking seem that much bigger.
To make the task of finding inspiration just a bit easier, you can find the most inspiring black-and-white bathroom ideas in the list below to get that custom look you’ve been dreaming of.
Make White Tiles Pop With Black Grout and a Black Ceiling
This bathroom uses a combination of different titles for a unique visual texture. Vertical white subway tile and much smaller square tile both use dark grout, resulting in a cohesive appearance.
The large, rimless mirror strengthens the sleek look of the room, while the two-faucet sink mimics the style of a double vanity without the extra bulk. Silver plumbing and natural wood and brown accents complete the look.
Bring Visual Texture into the Space by Blending Tile Patterns
Similarly to the previous photo, this bathroom pairs two different tiles for a chic visual appeal. The black hexagonal tile floor and herringbone tile walls with their contrasting grout create a unique black-and-white bathroom design.
Black shower hardware, interesting decor pieces, and fluffy white towels decorate the space while pairing well with the warm wood finish of the vanity.
Create a Dramatic Bathroom With Black Walls and White Cabinets
This dark and moody black and white bathroom incorporates multiple different materials in its design. Dark wood and exposed beams along the roof mirror the rich wood flooring.
The uncommon elongated black tile and dark grout provide a dramatic contrast to the bright white vanity that’s wall-mounted to create a floating effect. Long pull handles on the cabinets also serve to pique interest, especially when combined with the uniquely designed mirror and elegant lighting.
Embrace a Classic Look With Checkerboard Flooring and Dark Wood Accents
A black-and-white color scheme can help a small bathroom make a big impact. White tiles line the walls, creating a classic style that’s only enhanced by the checkerboard floor. The white sink and shower curtain are balanced well by the black storage cabinet, and the white toilet with a black lid is the perfect bridge between the two.
Silver hardware throughout is the right choice for this space, as is the glass divider separating the shower area from the rest of the room.
Make a Bold Statement With Unique Black and White Tile Throughout the Room
This bold master bathroom is bursting with personality and is a perfect example of how patterns can be used for a unique and dramatic effect. By continuing the design from the floor and along the walls surrounding the bathtub, the eye is immediately drawn to this area as the focal point.
Solid black paint on the adjacent wall creates contrast with the pattern without distracting from it or disturbing the theme. The unique decorative chair is an excellent finishing touch for this bathroom.
Pair White Walls and Ceiling With Black Floor Tile, Trim, and Cabinetry
For a more modern space, try blending different shapes, patterns, and materials within the same bathroom. This example photo uses square white tiles, hexagonal floor tile, a round mirror, and an abstract rug to make a visually appealing bathroom.
Black trim and cabinetry tie in well with the flooring, allowing the room to feel more balanced overall. A few accessories in a new color can bring in an interesting pop or two like the subtle copper tones do here.
Place a Checkerboard Floor, Black Curtain, and Subtle Black Accents in a Solid White Bathroom
Classic white subway tile is an effective tool to brighten a small bathroom with limited lighting. This photo shows how this black and white bathroom packs a lot into minimal square footage, using black accents to provide contrast and depth into the room and prevent the white from becoming overpowering.
The custom shower unit also creates an air of originality, as does the creative placement of the faucet on the vanity.
Use Brass Accents to Bring an Air of Luxury to Your Black and White Bathroom
Similar in style to some of our previous modern black-and-white bathroom ideas, this photo example uses a combination of black hexagonal floor tile and white walls as the base for the space. However, it then builds upon this look for a more custom appearance by using brass hardware throughout.
The almost vintage feel of these items transforms this space from a standard black and white bathroom to a stunning room that will stand the test of time.
Combine Modern and Retro Design Style to Create a Space Unique to Your Home
This bathroom with black marble floor tiles and white walls showcases incredible natural lighting and a freestanding tub perfect for a long, relaxing bath. Light natural wood accents and plant life help to make a refreshing bathroom that anyone will enjoy spending time in. The section of plain white paint along the top of the walls is a great touch, serving as a transition area from the tiles to the ceiling.
Show Off Your Personality With Boldly Patterned Tiles and a Stunning Black Sink
Your black-and-white bathroom doesn’t have to be formulaic in its design. A fun and funky tile floor or walls can make all the difference. This photo example shows a one-of-a-kind dotted tile covering the walls and a stunning black sink used as both an accent piece and an anchor for the space.
Though this look works extremely well in a half bath or powder room setup, it can be even more remarkable in a larger bathroom with a black tub or shower to match.
Lean Into Simplicity With a Black and White Bathroom and Laundry Room Combo
This sleek black and white bathroom combines many of the design elements we’ve seen so far. That being said, unlike the other ideas, this example photo tackles the added complication of designing a bathroom that also has a laundry area included.
Fortunately, a black-and-white bathroom palette can easily handle this challenge. Gray and light tan accents work well in this bathroom, and a mirror with a built-in medicine cabinet can help with storage.
Make Your All-White Bathroom Pop With Minimal Touches of Black
This master bathroom also follows the trend of hexagonal black tile on the floor and white square tile on the walls but with a decently sized bathtub with a built-in shower.
Multiple recessed shelves keep everything that’s frequently used within easy reach, creating a relaxing place to unwind in the bath after a long and stressful day.
Pair a White Marble Shower With Solid Black Fixtures for a Stunning Effect
This white marble with gray veining and bold black hardware results in a remarkably subtle black-and-white bathroom design.
Custom tile work and spotlighting make this shower appear that much more modern. Overall, minimal updates such as this can change the appearance of an entire house without breaking the bank.
Flip Expectations With Dramatic Black Walls and a White Vanity
A bold and moody powder room can be created with a bit of black paint and a stark white floating sink. This black and white bathroom takes a minimalist approach to styling, with a modern faucet and a tall, narrow mirror.
Trimming the window in white paint makes it pop just a bit more while reflecting additional sunlight into the darker space.
Mix Marble With Black Veining and Ceramic Tiles With Black Grout for Visual Appeal
This elegant bathroom with a wall-mounted toilet hides the majority of its plumbing behind wall tiles. A white marble tile floor brings an air of luxury while maintaining a casual vibe. Black paint on the ceiling is an eye-catching choice that truly pays off. Simplicity is key here, and the minimal accessories reflect that well.
Black Subway Tile and Victorian-Style Flooring for an Eye-Catching Bathroom
This black tile with white grout and Victorian-era floor tile pair beautifully to make a stunning black-and-white bathroom that’s sure to turn heads. There’s a faint art deco influence that can be seen here as well, something that has a distinct charm guests will love.
Create the Ultimate Moody Space With Deep Black Walls and a Floating White Vanity
For our final black and white bathroom photo, we’re taking a look at an ultra-modern bathroom with black paint that stops you in your tracks. White marble countertops and white cabinetry on the vanity are the epitome of contrast, drawing the eye into the room.
The slightly ridged texture on the walls makes for a pleasing viewing experience once noticed. Black hardware combined with the crystal clear glass walls makes for a discrete shower, though a tub wouldn’t be totally out of place here either.
This gorgeous attic loft for sale in Sweden (Styled by Isabella Seger, photographed by Henrik Linden for Ahre) has a large open-plan living kitchen with windows on all sides, which let in an impressive amount of natural daylight.
The modern and minimal grey kitchen with white marble countertops is spread along the wall and even extends towards the sofa area. This allows lots of kitchen storage and countertop space. The marble Knoll Tulip dining table paired with walnut dining chairs adds a natural tone to the grey kitchen.
The rest of the interior takes on a similar color palette, with neutral elements paired with a few warm wood tones to achieve a warm and cozy effect within this modern loft setting.

A spacious sofa area with a marble coffee table
Right next to the kitchen, you can find a beautiful sofa area with a white sofa on a white texture area rug. The marble and walnut look of the dining area comes back in this section as well, with the marble coffee table and the walnut armchairs.
Floor lamps on each side of the sofa paired with a large art piece and fresh green flowers on the coffee table complete this look and add a fresh touch.
Opposite the kitchen, you can find a second sofa area with a TV.
The open plan of this loft is impressive, to say the least. Every corner of the large space is utilized to the fullest, without looking cramped.
A hallway section with a large mirror and bench is also part of the main living space.
A minimally decorated bedroom with a walk-in closet
The bedroom is decorated in a minimal style, with grey bedding, black wall lamps, and a black chair for added contrast.

Whether you’re looking to simply change up the appearance of your bedroom or undertake a full-blown remodel, yellow bedroom ideas should be at the top of your list. This color can evoke feelings of happiness, joy, humor, and spontaneity as well as optimism, mental clarity, and intellect.
From yellow bedding to a yellow headboard or even a single accent wall, this versatile color can make all the difference in your interior design. Below you can find the most gorgeous yellow bedrooms to inspire your next project.
Pair Subtle Yellow Walls With Soft Linens for a Welcoming Environment
Depending on the look you’re going for in the room, there are various shades of yellow that can work well around a bed, especially more pale and subdued tones.
This example bedroom has a relaxed and inviting air, drawing you in and helping you unwind after a stressful day. Soft linens add a touch of visual texture to the room, as does the natural wood flooring.
Match Your Curtains and Walls to Create a Yellow Bedroom That’s Bursting With Personality
This rich, sunny room is the perfect shade of yellow-orange, with big windows and warm wood flooring. In this setting, plain white walls would likely feel far too stark as opposed to inviting and comforting.
The light color palette used for the bedding paired with the dark brown furniture and modern decor is another excellent choice for this room, resulting in a cohesive yellow bedroom that serves as a statement piece for the whole home.
Use Neutral Tones and Shades of White to Showcase the Unique Paint Color on the Walls
This example uses a darker yellow-brown paint as a solid basis for a neutral bedroom. The white half-wall makes for the perfect headboard as well as a storage area for eye-catching decor.
White curtains and light-colored bedding work with the white ceiling to exaggerate the natural light coming from the window, which brightens the space and allows the wall paint to really shine.
Fill Your Sleeping Space With Bright Colors that Both Contrast and Complement the Yellow Walls
This yellow bedroom features a bold mix of vibrant colors, including a lilac bed and a gallery of abstract wall art. A perfect representation of the resident’s personality, this style is bursting with fun, bright shades that are sure to be the talking point of guests.
A mix of materials for flooring, floating shelves for a nightstand, and uniquely shaped ceiling lighting cement the theme, resulting in a bold yellow bedroom that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
Use a Color Palette That Highlights Golden Yellows for a Cheerful, Yet Conservative, Design
This yellow bedroom uses a very similar shade of paint as the previous example, though the overall color scheme is quite different. The flooring is darker and the bed is more subdued, with a gray headboard and reddish-pink-toned pillows and comforter.
Overall, this bedroom is still fun and a showcase of personality, but the space has a more relaxed and casual feeling that some homeowners may prefer.
Pair Off-White and Gray Bedding With Soft Yellow Walls to Create a Neutral Bedroom
This classic yellow bedroom is a prime example of a peaceful sleeping space. The soft yellow paint and medium gray tones create a relaxing space to unwind, something that’s accentuated by the gentle pops of green from plant life.
Task lighting on both sides of the bed is positioned perfectly to facilitate late-night reading without taking up unnecessary space on the nightstands. The plush rug at the foot of the bed completes the cozy look.
Combine Light Yellow Walls and White Bedding for a Neutral Backdrop that Showcases Your Decorating Style
This bedroom uses a variety of similar shades to create a neutral base for decor to shine. Off-white linens and the pale yellow wall color are the perfect blank slate for a wide range of bedroom designs, and this example beautifully displays that.
The throw blanket with primary colors creates an unexpected pop in the otherwise uniform color scheme, and abstract wall art with beige tones ties everything together for a cohesive style.
Use Patterned Wallpaper and Decorative Pillows for Visual Interest
Nothing creates visual interest with minimal effort quite like bedroom wallpaper. This bedroom with yellow floral wallpaper has a certain vintage charm. Minimal decor and a decorative throw pillow enhance this feel while ensuring that the room isn’t overwhelming to the senses.
The result is a naturally bright yellow bedroom that’s a pleasing shade to look at. The single piece of framed artwork is the perfect touch to round out this bedroom design.
Pair Yellow Paint, Brown-Toned Accents, and Cozy Bedding for a Mildly Earthy Bedroom Design
A palette consisting of varying shades of yellow and brown can serve to create an earthy and natural bedroom design that will stand the test of time. These rich, peaceful tones can boost your mood, while the geometric pattern on the rug brings additional visual appeal.
As an added bonus, the curtains starting at the ceiling create an illusion in which the windows seem larger than they are, which in turn makes the room feel more spacious.
Buttery Yellow Walls as the Perfect Complement to a Lively Child’s Room
There’s perhaps no better room for a bold yellow than a children’s bedroom. This cheery and playful bedroom is full of youthful wonder. Striped pillows on the bed are a great touch, however, other patterns would do well here too.
A whimsical mural wouldn’t be out of place here, either, only serving to further the merriment. A few more pops of green, orange, or pink could enhance the brightness of the yellow and accentuate the existing decor.
Yellow-Beige Walls Paired With a Neutral Color Scheme for a Peaceful Bedroom Space
Similar to some of the previous examples we’ve looked at so far, this bedroom uses tan tones throughout to create a neutral bedroom.
The yellow-beige paint complements this style beautifully. Overall, the design of this room blends modern, contemporary, and more traditional elements well, particularly with the peg rail along the wall opposite the bed.
A Pale Yellow Color on the Walls With Crisp White Linens to Enhance the Bright, Natural Light
A showcase of minimalism with a splash of personality, this bedroom is full of natural sunlight, which only serves to strengthen the joyful appearance.
The white ceiling, gauzy white sheets, and dark floor provide excellent contrast to the yellow, while the warm orange-brown tone of the nightstands complement it nicely. The resulting bedroom is one that anyone would love waking up in.
Use Mustard Yellow Paint to Create a Warm and Inviting Bedroom With Subtle Accent Pieces
A golden mustard tone, this yellow bedroom is warm and rich, creating an inviting air. Pale bedding and a similarly colored lantern bring a cozy, casual feel to the room. The shelving above the bed draws the eye further into the bedroom, while the books themselves give off an academic, lived-in vibe.
By turning all the spines to the wall, the natural color of the pages echoes the rest of the room’s palette, completing the look.
Wood Tones and Textured Bedding Pairs Beautifully With Yellow-Brown Walls
This bedroom uses the same shade of paint across all the walls, trim, and ceiling, including the bathroom door.
This creates a unique, uniform look that places the color front and center. Warm brown and tan tones complement it well, and the blankets, sheets, and pillows used on the bed act as a focal point with the textures anchoring the space.
Create a Vintage Feel in Your Bedroom With Yellow Tones Throughout the Space
This bedroom is packed full of antique aesthetics, yet with modern touches for just the right amount of flair. The quilted comforter and wood furniture harken back to a bygone era in a way that’s as timeless as it is lovely. A few yellow flowers on the window sill could be the perfect finishing touch to this room.
Highlight a Uniquely Shaped Bedroom With Cool Tones in Shades of Yellow
Bedrooms in an uncommon shape always pose several design challenges. One way to tackle this issue is to lean into the one-of-a-kind nature of the room.
This example bedroom does this well, using pale yellow tones, unconventional placements, and a mix of materials to make a stunning room that keeps things interesting.
Provide Contrast to Dark, Industrial-Style Accents With a Happy Color Like Yellow
For the final example in our list of yellow bedroom ideas, we have a no-frills bedroom with yellow as the counter to industrial-style decor. The resulting contrast is similar to that of black and white, but much softer with a gentler transition.
This allows dark, dramatic artwork to be prominently highlighted, as seen here. Mismatched pillows draw in the eye, while task lighting makes for a more cozy nighttime routine.

Victorian-style bathroom ideas are a popular choice for homeowners looking to revitalize their historic home’s bathroom or totally transform the appearance of their modern space. One of the most common features individuals think of when it comes to a Victorian bathroom, however, is the iconic tile work.
Victorian-era tiles and accents can be the perfect finishing touches to any bathroom remodel, but finding inspiration can be a challenge. In the list below, you’ll find the most inspiring Victorian bathroom ideas to help you complete your next project.
Pair Victorian-Style Tile Patterns With Rich Colour and Art Deco Accents
White subway tiles, also called metro tiles, are one of the most popular choices when it comes to choosing tiles for a bathroom, and for good reason. These simple tiles pair beautifully with just about any design style, including Victorian-inspired designs as seen here.
Black and white tiles on the floor create a classic pattern common to Victorian style, and the rich umber paint on top of the half-wall tile paired with art deco accessories complete the look.
Use Victorian Floor Tiles and White Subway Tiles to Create a Bright and Inviting Bathroom
This bathroom is a similar style to the previous example but focuses more heavily on the stark contrast between black and white. Trimming the floor tiles with a line of black subway/metro tiles adds a layer of visual interest, while also serving as a bold separation between the two different materials.
The half wall is an efficient way to note the change from the vanity area into the shower, with added privacy. Subtle gold on the mirror and light fixture perfectly round out the space with a touch of charm.
Detailed Victorian-Style Flooring Paired With Simplistic Fixtures and Minimal Accents
This bathroom perfectly balances old and new ideals, featuring both solid white wall tile and patterned floor tiles. Additionally, the border of the floor tiles brings an extra “wow” factor to this bathroom design.
The black toilet seat helps to break up the solid white found everywhere else, serving as a great source of dimension in the room. A delicate mirror and a simple linen cloth are the perfect items to decorate this bathroom because they aren’t distracting from the focal point of the floor.
Pair Boldly Coloured Square Tiles With Contemporary Fixtures and Detailed Flooring
Though Victorian tiles tend to evoke images of strictly black-and-white color schemes, bold colors aren’t off-limits. A dramatic green, blue, or even pink theme can make your bathroom that much more custom in its appearance.
This bathroom uses a deep green tile on the walls, from floor to ceiling, while the floor itself features a scaled-down version of the classic tile patterns we’ve seen already. As a bonus, the more modern vanity unit allows for plenty of storage not found in Victorian-style sinks.
Create a Dramatic and Moody Bathroom by Blending Traditional Victorian Tiles and Modern Counterparts
In a similar vein as the last example, this bathroom is in a league of its own. Though the floor features Victorian tiles and some of the accessories and hardware have an antique appearance, these are the only things in this bathroom that aren’t modern.
The resulting blend of styles is a dramatic, yet elegant, bathroom that is sure to leave guests speechless. With a different layout, the shower area could be exchanged for a claw foot bathtub for added drama.
Combine Modern Industrial Aesthetics With Victorian Bathroom Design for a Unique and Fresh Space
This chic bathroom is inspired by both traditional and contemporary industrial-style design. A unique half wall divides the space, and there are plenty of options for hanging up both fresh and dirty towels.
By using square wall tiles instead of the more common subway tile, the squares of the floor tiles are echoed, creating a cohesive look that’s much more noticeable in this bathroom. Just as with the previous example, a bath instead of a shower is an option and may be a better choice for some homeowners.
An Airy, Contemporary Bathroom With Victorian Floor Tiles, a Glass Shower Area, and a Floating Vanity
This completely fresh take on Victorian bathroom design is an elegant alternative to totally antique bathroom ideas. Showcasing a breezy color scheme, this bathroom is the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of a long day.
A Victorian-style floor and white tiles on the walls create a sense of cleanliness, as well as peacefulness, that is sure to stand the test of time.
Pair Thick Subway Tiles and Victorian Floor Tiles With Earth Tones for a Calming Bathroom Design
These beveled subway tiles create a slightly bubbled or thick appearance that’s much more uncommon than standard flat tiles. This can bring a level of dimension and originality to your bathroom, especially when paired with Victorian tiles in a less common configuration on the floor.
The ledge above the sink in this example also creates additional storage space for frequently used items such as toothbrush holders and other toiletries or small decor.
Classic Patterned Wallpaper and Subway Tile Wainscoting in a Victorian-Style Bathroom
Nothing says “Victorian bathroom” quite like an antique claw foot bathtub. This bathroom takes the style a step further, however, with the addition of bathroom wallpaper, tile wainscoting, and patterned floor tiles.
The same colors are found throughout the room, though the materials change, which creates an environment that’s the right combination of fun and peaceful. A touch of plant life also helps achieve this balance and is always a welcome addition to any bath.
Use Victorian Bathroom Tile Ideas to Spice Up a Combination Bathroom and Laundry Room
Small combination bathrooms that mimic the layout of hallways can pose several unique design challenges. However, some houses have no choice but to add a laundry area to the bathroom due to lack of space.
But this doesn’t mean that your dreams of a Victorian bathroom are impossible to achieve. Victorian tiles on the floor and a section of wall tile are all it takes to bring a bit of that same charm into an unconventional bath. Plus, a border of chair rail is the perfect finishing touch.
Victorian Bathroom Inspiration Paired With Unique Wall Tile for a Chic Powder Room
This example takes inspiration from Victorian bathroom ideas and then subverts expectations to make a style that’s completely unique. Thin pink-toned tiles are placed vertically on the wall as opposed to more common horizontal patterns, and a large floating vanity makes a bold impact.
The glass-walled shower helps the room feel more spacious than it is while helping to show off the stunning tile work.
Blend Victorian-Era Flooring and All-Over Marble for an Ultra-Modern Bathroom With Classic Touches
Finally, if a fully Victorian bathroom isn’t for you, but you still love some of the traditional elements we’ve looked at, this style may be the right choice for you. Discrete plumbing, sleek marble, and crisp edges make this bathroom a modern dream, while the inclusion of Victorian-style floor tiles provides an elegant, yet understated, touch.
This bathroom design also incorporates many of the features we’ve seen previously in a way that’s both visually appealing and functional.

The bedroom has a beautiful floral wallpaper on the walls, which adds a romantic aesthetic and brings out the beautiful white crown molding. A rattan seating bench behind the bed matches the rattan headboard for a natural look.
The beige curtains pair well with the green wallpaper design and frame the windows nicely.
A second TV on the wall in the bedroom is paired with a walnut sideboard that holds a small bedroom library.
A vintage glass cabinet in the corner of the bedroom is perfect for keeping decor objects out of dust way.
A few small art prints on the wall add some subtle details, however, these walls don’t need too much since they already are covered with a detailed wallpaper design.
A hallway with custom storage and vintage side tables
A kitchen with red cabinets is a great way to bring personality into your home and create a natural talking point for guests. There’s a wide variety of shades to choose from and endless options for where to use them.
From a two-toned look to all-over red and even a red island as a statement piece, there’s sure to be the perfect combination of just the right shade for your kitchen. Below, you’ll find the most inspiring red kitchen ideas to help you transform the appearance of your existing kitchen or inspire a total remodel.
Pair Bold, Orange-Red Cabinets With Light Colored Walls and Floors and a Touch of Visual Texture
This stunning red island serves as the visual anchor for this kitchen, standing dramatically apart from the white walls and floor. Boldly veined marble countertops bring additional personality, especially when paired with the framed artwork on the wall.
The painted ceiling is the ideal counterbalance to the deep red cabinets, allowing the shade to feel even more at home. Brass or stainless steel appliances would pair wonderfully with this color palette, though white appliances aren’t out of the question either.
Muted Brick Kitchen Cabinets and White Countertops in a Historic Space
The beautiful historic space with rounded windows that let in an abundance of daylight is enhanced with a gorgeous shaker kitchen with muted brick red cabinets placed on the lower section only. The upper part of the wall is painted in an off-white paint color, complementing the white countertops, gold hardware, and white hood.
The warm wood kitchen island and the stainless steel appliances bring a lovely variety to the color and material palette used in the design.
Use Brick-Red Cabinets in a Cozy, Traditional Kitchen to Embrace a Farmhouse Style
If you prefer a more natural tone as opposed to a bright red, brick-red cabinets are the answer. This traditional L-shaped kitchen is full of warm wood tones, creating a cozy and inviting environment.
Light wood shelves and grey walls add a lovely contrast to the rich tones found in the lower cabinets, floor, and dining table. The vintage glass and bronze chandelier provides a certain level of charm to the kitchen that is unmatched by modern lighting fixtures.
Set Dramatic Red-Brown Cabinets Against a Historic Floor and Antique Accents
Similar to the previous example, this red kitchen is bursting with rustic appeal. However, instead of a simple farmhouse design, this kitchen embraces a more historic, almost colonial, aesthetic. Deep brown-red cabinets and white countertops create an eye-catching contrast, and antique decor cements the 1800s inspiration.
This kitchen is sure to be a fun talking point for guests and will delight everyone who enters it by subverting their expectations. The traditional square tile floor completes this look, tying everything together in a way that another material wouldn’t be able to.
Combine Vibrant Pink-Red Cabinets, Retro Appliances, and Granite Countertops for a Funky Kitchen Design
These dark salmon cabinets paired with granite countertops create a modern look that’s balanced beautifully with the retro-style refrigerator and light fixture. This combination results in an exciting room that’s cheery and free-spirited.
The pop of blue in the artwork on the counter draws the eye in, providing a starting point for it to travel through the space. Recessed shelves serve as the perfect location for decorative touches, and the natural wood floor creates a more relaxed air.
A Natural Light Wood Floor and Pale Red Cabinets for an Earthy, Relaxing Kitchen Space
A new kitchen with red cabinets doesn’t have to be busy and dramatic. This kitchen uses worn, pale red-brown paint on the cabinets, paired with gray countertops, for a subdued appearance. Stainless steel appliances and an L-shaped design support the easy-going feel of the room, while durable wood flooring stands ready to endure the tests of time.
An abundance of natural light pouring in through the window and door of the kitchen brightens the space and allows for minimal, unintrusive light fixtures to be added where needed.
Pair Rich Red Cabinets With a Blend of Materials and Textures for a Kitchen That’s Unique
For a kitchen that’s completely unique to your home, try a creative mix of materials not often seen in interiors. Burgundy wood cabinets, concrete, and scalloped tiles make up the majority of this kitchen’s stunning visuals.
This wealth of textures delight the senses and showcases the bold personality of the homeowner. Old-school appliances and bare lightbulbs reinforce the hand-built and designed aesthetic of the kitchen, making for an appealing space.
Use Red Kitchen Cabinets as a Transition Piece Between Light Colored Walls and Dark Flooring
Smooth beige walls and a black herringbone floor are practically opposites and can make for a jarring experience when initially entering a room if not handled correctly. However, dark red kitchen cabinets can act as the perfect stepping point between these two extremes.
This example kitchen uses a dramatic color palette and traditional design ideals to make an exciting space packed with various dark shades. The farmhouse sink further expands on the old-world feel of this kitchen and provides a touch of brightness to the cabinets.
Enhance a Mid-Century Modern Style With Soft Red-Orange Paint and Pops of Color
A mixture of solid surface countertops and two different cabinet colors can transform your contemporary kitchen into a mid-century modern wonder.
By having the island be a different color and its countertop a different material, there’s a sense of depth created that highlights the square footage of this kitchen. A couple of pops of blue and yellow draw the eye, keeping it moving through the space.
Allow a Traditional, Rustic Kitchen to Thrive With Dark Cherry Cabinets and Lots of Natural Wood
Maintain the heritage of your traditional kitchen by adding minimal updates, such as stainless steel appliances, and allowing all the natural wood to shine.
These dark cherry cabinets are timeless, perfectly suiting the historic features of the room. Glass front cabinets could be used in place of the wall-mounted dish rack for an additional modern touch, though that relies on personal preference.
Highlight a Bold Color Choice by Using Contrasting Red Cabinets and a Dramatic Marble Floor
Flat panel cabinets, sometimes called shaker cabinets, look incredible in every shade, though they stand out particularly well when built in a deep red-toned finish and paired with a mustard wall and dark marble floor.
Brass or copper cabinet hardware and pans will pair well with this palette, as will worn clays and solid blacks. White grout surrounding the large marble slabs provides much-needed contrast to the floor.
Bring Depth to Bright and Airy Kitchen Designs With Complementary Red Cabinets
A high-ceiling kitchen with loads of natural light is the ideal backdrop to dark-colored cabinets. Light tan tones fill the space, creating an airy, natural feel that’s like a breath of fresh air.
In a similarly refreshing take on the common white subway tile backsplash, this kitchen takes the tiles and turns them vertically before running them up the wall. All of this comes together to result in a kitchen that won’t soon go out of style.
Deep, Rich Red Kitchen Cabinets for an Effective Focal Point
The red kitchen cabinets in the example below act as a visual anchor to this light-toned kitchen space. This styling results in a kitchen that feels grounded and planned by an experienced designer.
This design can be easily mimicked with little to no changes, though the small back lip of the countertop could be replaced with a taller white backsplash for a similar look that offers more protection for your walls.
Terracotta Flat Panel Cabinets in a Kitchen space with a Painted Ceiling
These elegant wood cabinets are painted with a beautiful terracotta tone rather than a bright red for a subtle and warm effect in the space, contrasting with the sky-blue ceiling color. The beautiful veining in the marble countertop and the simple yet modern wall lamps finish off this contemporary cooking space nicely.
