With the autumn weather arriving in parts of the north and the daylight growing shorter with the approach of fall, adding black to our interior spaces is a great way to create a dramatic coccooning effect or a bold fresh update.Black interiors fit many design styles…tradtional, contemporary, classic, vintage….
Lets take a look at how the color black can wow in these 5 rooms:
Vintage Black: love this black apothecary cabinet!
Bedroom in Black…sigh!
Moooi Smoke Black Armchair: This chair is actually made from burned and charred wood! Combined with tufted leather and nailhead trim I think this would be a gorgeous touch of black for any room! Isn’t it beautiful?
Do you like the idea of bold black interiors? Which space is your favorite?
McKae @ Kaes Corner Design says
These are so pretty. I love the black bathroom!
Heather SettingforFour says
Me too! I am tossing around the idea of doing that in my main floor bathroom….
Anne says
I love black! but my house is too dark for it, I’ve had to paint all my black pieces white. Sigh. .. LOVE your featured photos!
Heather says
Thanks Anne! I would love to do our main floor bathroom like the feature photo with the black trellis design….its a very small bathroom, so I think it might work! Each home definitely has it’s own style so you have to keep that in mind like you have!
Courtenay@Creek Line House says
I loooove black kitchens. Love them! Like black walls, I mean, not just the cabinets. Does this mean you’re going to do a black room to show us? 🙂
Heather says
I’m throwing around the idea in my head to give our main floor bathroom which is tiny the black trellis look like in the feature photo….I love black kitchens too!
Katie Goldsworthy says
I love all of the black! I am always selling and scared that buyers will make an aweful face when they see the black walls, so I never paint it…..maybe the next house I’ll be brave and do it anyways!

It’s good to hear, Rhiannon, that black walls can sell a home! Hopefully you can repaint your new space that way too!
Recreate and Decorate says
Yes the bedroom is beautiful! Are you planning black in your new home?
Heather SettingforFour says
I might do a bathroom on our main floor in black, with the trellis stencil…haven’t decided yet!

I love that black on black wallpaper pattern – very elegant! I’m just afraid that black is only going to work in rooms with lots of natural light – otherwise it’ll look like the Batcave 😉
