STRIKING ROOMS WITH BLACK WALLS

Hi there! I’m Jenn and I write for Arcadian Home Decor, which is an e-commerce website that specializes in top home decor ideas around the world. I have always been a fan of antiques, daybeds, lace, and chandeliers, and I’ve been writing about interior design for more than a decade. My mornings begin with a big cup of coffee in my yellow mug and searching the net for inspiring websites, like Leffstyle.com, where the posts offer a wide range of stylish ideas. Thanks to Cindy for letting me guest post here today!

Black is a color that most people shy away from when it comes to painting a wall however its deep dramatic hue also make it the most striking choice. When used in a “smart” way in home decorating it can create visual impact and really pack a stylish punch. Here are eight striking rooms with black walls to fall in love with.

Black on black

Rooms With Black Walls

It may be surprising to put a black dresser in front of a black wall but the look is seamless. The colourful seashell wall art helps break up the starkness.

A lighter shade of black

This greyish-black isn’t overwhelming because of the white ceiling and pop of hot pink. The light fixtures also keep this living room from feeling too dark.

Elegant black

A dining room is a striking room with black walls – it looks refined when paired with opulent crystal table decor as well as gold detailing.

A black accent

Black is less daunting when it’s applied to a simple accent wall – here, the black backdrop provides the perfect amount of drama behind a black and white fabric headboard.

Blacks with antiques

This striking room with black walls looks more intimate and cozy with the dark shade – antique furniture and a fireplace provide the perfect details.

Back to black

The back of this long galley kitchen features a black wall flanked by colorful red, orange, and yellow glass bottles for an interesting juxtaposition between monochromatic and the playful.

Black is exotic

Another galley-style kitchen, this one really optimizes the dramatic qualities of black by using it on the walls, backsplash, and countertops.

    I really enjoyed Jenn’s post.
    We will be moving to the suburbs soon and ao my radar for ‘new ‘ ideas is on.
    I always loved dark walls – currently my master BR is white with a sitting area with chocolate brown walls which I love!
    I would never have considered black But I think it looks fabulous.
    I love it in the kitchens!

    I would never think to put black on a wall but these rooms are incredible. There’s something grounding about the black background–it reminds me of the sky on a clear, dark night. My favorite is the greyish-black one with the hot pink table–very warm and cozy!
