So are you ready to take to the dark side? Read on and discover dark kitchen ideas for an unforgettable look.

Dark grey kitchen design
From deep grey doors to classic charcoal hues, dark colour kitchens don’t get much better than this. In fact dark grey bespoke kitchens are a fabulous design anchor for every style of luxury kitchen room. Add paler grey worktops for a layered look or contrast with metallic accents for a touch of luxury. Dark grey kitchen designs also look fabulous with pops of pastel and neutral hues if you want to try a mix and match mood. In the Stephens kitchen, our Classic kitchen doors are hand painted in Farrow & Ball’s Hopper Head charcoal hue. Then, elegant, fluted glass wall cabinets and walnut-veneered interiors help to create a warm and inviting mood that’s stylish and personal to the clients. Graphite Grey matt lacquer is a super popular choice for our modular Studio collection too and a great way to create dark kitchen luxury for less.

Dark green kitchen ideas
Going green has never looked so good. And when you choose dark green kitchen ideas from Roundhouse you can be guaranteed of a luxury kitchen design that will never date. Think jewel-like emerald, rich verdant green and classic racing green. This slick matt lacquer kitchen in the darkest earthy green creates a streamlined almost black silhouette. Paired with Burnished Copper and a striking black and white worktop, the look is crisp and contemporary. Remember, dark colour kitchens are also versatile kitchens. Our Cheung case study demonstrates how dark green kitchen ideas catapult more traditional designs to another level. Don’t forget, our modular Studio Collection includes a beautiful Forest Green shade too. So whether you want a totally bespoke kitchen design or a more affordable look, Roundhouse has you covered.

Dark blue bespoke kitchens
Have you considered a dark blue kitchen design? From deep navy to rich royal blue and darkest midnight, blue kitchens are back on the style map for 2025. And as a modern alternative to other dark colour kitchens, dark blue can do so much for your space. Blue can promote a calm and relaxed atmosphere – perfect for busy family kitchen ideas. Darker shades of blue can also aid with focus and concentration. At Roundhouse our mission is to create beautiful bespoke kitchens to suit your colour mood, your available space and architecture – we deliver excellence in everything we do. In the Fawnbrake kitchen, Hague Blue matt lacquer cabinets are offset with a glow up of Antique Copper splashbacks and shelving. The result is restful yet sophisticated – a bold statement and proof that dark kitchen ideas have serious staying power.

Dark stained timber kitchens
Dark kitchen ideas don’t follow strict design rules. So if you don’t fancy dark blue, green or grey, you can still achieve the same striking look with a dark stained wood. This way, you’ll get all the drama and clean lines of dark kitchens but with the extra characteristics of natural timber: the warmth, the texture and the grain. We love the end result of this Urbo bespoke kitchen in a dark stained book matched veneer. It creates a welcoming and user-friendly kitchen for everyone.
