Black is definitely a color that many are afraid to use in interior design. It is really easy to understand way this is the case. Adding a lot of black can easily make a room unwelcoming, especially when used improperly on walls. However, using black properly can create a wonderful interior design setting that is welcoming, modern and comfy. Black can so easily add punch, drama and much sophistication to a room.
We noticed that rustic rooms usually do not use black but that is not a rule. You can easily add any color that you want in any design choice you may have and come up with something really interesting. That is especially the case when referring to a room that has much natural light coming in, cream upholstery, matted artwork or larger windows. In such cases we do not have a moody and dark look. Black can be utilized in order to offer some sort of contrast. You want contrast to make a comfortable more appealing.
Black is interesting when used in an intimate space as it can aid to creating a location that is perfect for reflections and conversations. Try to add some color dashes in order to make everything even better for meditation and talking though since you want them both. Black has a graphic nature while white will be connected with artwork.
One interesting idea that you want to consider is adding black to your entryway. This is something that most people do not expect and you can create an interesting shock from the moment a person enters your home. Black can be used in different doses but normally you will see smaller doses. Black can be added to wallpapers, stairs, doors, in fabrics and lampshades. Visitors will notice black instantly in entryways.
Black in your bedroom is a little controversial. Bedrooms are rooms where people want peace and rest. These are actually great reasons to warrant the use of black. White graphic draperies are perfect in contrast with black for contrast reasons. Gold is also interesting but you want accent walls in most situations.
The bathroom is basically a perfect location for using black in interior design. That is because black would do wonders in a small space. Never try to hide the small places. Combine black with orange, green or yellow. It is even possible to combine black through various elements when creating children bathrooms. If there is just one room of the home in which you would use black, the bathroom is the one to consider.
Kitchens and dining rooms can use black although this is not really traditional. You can easily update the feeling offered by a tired, old kitchen through black cabinetry. This does not cost much. In your dining room the guests will not expect black so why not take advantage of the surprise factor?
The last setting we should mention is an office. Here you want to create an appearance that is professional. Black does help and will actually inspire creativity.
