Decorating Your Home In Black

September 21, 2016

What color goes best with black? If you prefer not flashy but calm interiors, you can combine it with different shades of gray. This can create either a cold or warm feeling depending on different textures and tones. In the rooms intended for rest such as a bedroom, it is better not to use the powerful contrasts of black with red, yellow or orange. To add some intrigue to the interior, dim the bright color with the help of white and black.

It should be noted that in the Eastern cultures, the color black is a symbol of kindness, purity and perfection. In Japan, this color is a symbol of nobility and experience. To avoid completely shocking people, designers introduced the color black in small doses. You can see for yourself that black tile is just as lovely white, and a black wrought iron chandelier is a masterpiece. Over time, designers grew bolder and began to introduce the color black everywhere. People are no longer surprised by black hardware, furniture, kitchenware and black floors.

Interior Finishing in Black - Did you ever notice that expensive watches and jewelry are often wrapped in black velvet? The thing is that black is the perfect background color that allows you to focus your attention on the most important detail. In a similar manner, painting walls black or using black wallpaper will help you achieve an elegant interior. But stay away from doing all walls in black. One wall or even a small portion is going to be more than enough. Bright or white furniture will almost literally shine with this kind of background. To sum it all up: Black accent walls create a beautiful backdrop that allow your decorative pieces to stand out.

If you are still not ready to try such a dramatic change, it might be easier for you to consider making the floors black. Floorings in dark wood always look noble and respectable, especially if you cover them with yacht varnish. Lacquered herringbone parquet is an equally good solution. However, you should remember that even tiny bits of dust will be visible on this floor. You can also use black laminate, carpet or black tile.

Black Furniture - The color black has one unique feature - it is the best color to create contrast. You do not need to buy only black furniture. It may even be a separate black object mounted in the center of the room, but it will continue to draw the eye.

Black Home Accessories - Black looks great in decor items and accessories. Black glass chandeliers can quite literally catch the eye with its mysterious look. Select black mirror frames, flower stands and candle holders to match. A black vase will look great on light colored furniture and black tableware will help with a fresh kitchen interior.
