Dave & Jenny Marrs Just Unveiled A Sleek Kitchen Design You'll Want In Your Own Home

If there's one thing that designer and contractor duo Dave and Jenny Marrs don't shy away from, it's creating bold, sleek kitchens. The husband and wife duo and stars of HGTV's "Fixer to Fabulous" are commonly known for giving historic homes a contemporary facelift. While many of their home reveals vary depending on what feels authentic to their clients' design needs, a recent post on social media is supporting the idea that dark and moody kitchens are the next biggest home trend — and it's definitely inspiring to those who want to add warmth and coziness to their modern kitchens.

Over on Instagram, the husband and wife duo posted a gorgeous, sleek kitchen with velvety black overhead cabinets and speckled terrazzo countertops. Sculptural lighting, sleek seating, and airy wood cabinetry create a stunning, contemporary space with a touch of warmth, which the HGTV stars explain creates a timeless yet dynamic look. It's a look that inspires a cozy, intimate space, and with a few ideas from this moody kitchen design, you can get a similar modern feel for your own.

Creating this look calls for a dramatic color scheme paired with elegant yet understated countertops and cabinetry. While clean, modern finishes are a cornerstone of this sleek design, to complete this look, you'll need to employ details that evoke warmth and coziness. A modern renovation the duo created in a Season 6 episode of "Fixer to Fabulous" is another great example of the team blending natural materials to warm up a dark, moody color palette. In a corresponding blog post, Jenny writes, "We selected paint-grade cabinets and painted them matte black to achieve Emily's desired modern look. We installed all new appliances, including a gas range and sleek new countertops." For the flooring, they laid out cool-toned luxury vinyl plank in a herringbone pattern.

Dark ash grays, blacks, and brown paint shades with a matte finish are excellent options for a sleek design, and can blend seamlessly with a contrasting stone countertop with dramatic veining or patterns. Light colored fixtures, such as statement lighting, along with bright countertops, help offset the darkness of the space and add warmth. For flooring, you can add an ashy vinyl or wood that complements the undertones of the cabinetry, and add a light-colored area rug for warmth. On the other hand, you can contrast the cabinets with natural ash flooring to brighten up your dark kitchen.
