When creating decor for dramatic effect, there’s really nothing quite like a dark grey and black interior. Black and grey decor is surprisingly flexible too. The shadow palette can work well alongside a number of different aesthetics, whether it be eclectic, neoclassical, or ultra modern. Large and lofty rooms become cosier under heavy shading, whilst dark walls give smaller rooms blurred boundaries that increase the sense of space. Living rooms take on a sophisticated character, working kitchens become sleek culinary experiences, bedrooms feel more intimate under darkness, and bathrooms boast unique wow factor. Here’s three of our favourite modern black and grey home interiors to demonstrate the style.
Our first dark interior is a fuse of shades, geometry and detail. Huge windows accept natural light that plays over the dark silhouettes in the room, and highlights a much lighter grey couch at the heart of the black living room.

The ribbed wall treatment makes another appearance inside the dark master bedroom, this time as a headboard statement wall. An LED strip emphasises the textured panel, whilst bedroom pendant lights provide task lighting by the bedside.

The tv wall in this room features a simple frame set upon a ribbed backdrop. The asymmetrical screen mount position gives the arrangement a dash of style.
Our final black and grey home interior is warmed through with rich wood tone elements and cognac coloured accents. A cool grey sofa and matching rug arranges the lounge area, along with a square coffee table that adds a strong dash of basic black.
A luxury marble bathtub is built into a grey marble surround with integrated shelving. Soft lighting glows from the shelf nooks, lighting an array of bathtime pampering treats.
