The Best of Black

The use of black elements in interior design can give a sense of style and elegance to any room. It’s important to use caution, incorporating the colour black can be tricky, but when it’s integrated well, it will definitely set a room apart by adding unique character!
Here are some great décor and design ideas, featuring the colour black.
From walls to ceilings
Dare to add black paint to an accent wall in a bedroom, a chalkboard wall in the kitchen or on the ceiling of a small office space.
Not only is chalk paint, very on trend at the moment it is playful and practical at the same time. While a black ceiling is a very unique standout design choice and can give depth to a room.
Decoration accents
Are you a little afraid to paint your walls black? Why not start by integrating black décor elements in small doses. Whether on cabinet panels, decorative accessories, hanging light fixtures or furniture pieces, add sparingly and just enough to suit your taste!
Finding balance
Pairing dark shades with vibrant colors (white, for example) can often create a soft, light feel. Also, the contrasting and glamorous effect of black is even more apparent when it’s paired with a warm hue, like pink or blond wood.
Ceramics and tiles
Weather it’s jet-black ceramic tiles in a bathroom, ebony tiling around a fireplace wall, or a dark kitchen backsplash … Black is a great colour for tiles. With so many options, ranging from shimmering mosaics to a polished finishes; black tiles can create visual contrast and clean lines within a design.
