Black Living Room Design Photos with Dark Hardwood Floors, a Built-in Media Wall and a Wall-mounted TV

To dwell and establish connections with a place is a basic human necessity often combined, amongst other things, with light and is performed in association with the elements that generate it, be they natural or artificial. And in the renovation of this purpose-built first floor flat in a quiet residential street in Kennington, the use of light in its varied forms is adopted to modulate the space and create a brand new dwelling, adapted to modern living standards. From the intentionally darkened entrance lobby at the lower ground floor – as seen in Mackintosh’s Hill House – one is led to a brighter upper level where the insertion of wide pivot doors creates a flexible open plan centred around an unfinished plaster box-like pod. Kitchen and living room are connected and use a stair balustrade that doubles as a bench seat; this allows the landing to become an extension of the kitchen/dining area - rather than being merely circulation space – with a new external view towards the landscaped terrace at the rear. The attic space is converted: a modernist black box, clad in natural slate tiles and with a wide sliding window, is inserted in the rear roof slope to accommodate a bedroom and a bathroom. A new relationship can eventually be established with all new and existing exterior openings, now visible from the former landing space: traditional timber sash windows are re-introduced to replace unsightly UPVC frames, and skylights are put in to direct one’s view outwards and upwards. photo: Gianluca Maver

This reception room, bathed in the rich, deep hue of Obsidian Green, exudes a sense of sophistication and modernity. The color choice is bold and enveloping, creating a striking backdrop for the white ceiling and intricate cornicing that adds a classical touch. The room is thoughtfully curated with a mix of contemporary and traditional elements. In the first view, the plush, off-white sofa adorned with velvet cushions in mustard and rust invites relaxation and comfort. The sideboard, a crisp white, contrasts with the dark walls, topped with a blue-and-white porcelain urn that echoes classic aesthetics. The flat-screen television is mounted unobtrusively, blending seamlessly into the modern lifestyle.

Two single reception rooms were joined together to form a dual aspect reception room. Bespoke cabinets and shelves are housing the media system. Midcentury and classic design pieces create a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere.

Living Room

This project features a modern living room design with bespoke joinery and custom cabinetry. The space is defined by floating shelves and a TV unit crafted from warm oak veneer, bringing a refined, minimalist touch. The dark, textured walls provide contrast to the natural wood tones, creating a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. The open shelving offers both functionality and style, enhancing the room's contemporary aesthetic while maintaining a harmonious balance of form and function.
