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?

These are so pretty. I love the black bathroom!
Me too! I am tossing around the idea of doing that in my main floor bathroom….
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!
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!
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? 🙂
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!
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!

I love the black & all the photos you posted are awesome!!!! In the house we sold last year I had a black ceiling in my kitchen and a black hallway…I miss it!

It’s good to hear, Rhiannon, that black walls can sell a home! Hopefully you can repaint your new space that way too!
Yes the bedroom is beautiful! Are you planning black in your new home?
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 😉
