Every Room Needs a Touch of Black
Add Dark Tones from our Chattanooga Furniture Stores to Your Interior Design
You’ll often find that thoughtfully designed rooms are those with easily identifiable decorating rules. One of the most well-known decorating rules is that every room needs a touch of black. While we’re all for breaking the rules when it comes to interior design, this is one rule that we love to follow. Sometimes a touch of black is all a room needs and sometimes it’s more. But one thing is for sure: it’s always a good idea to incorporate a little black into every space.
Black balances bright pops of color. So if you have a space that’s colorful but needs some refining, try introducing something in a black metal or a piece of black and white artwork. The mix results in a colorful yet modern space.
Use black to ground light wood tones. Lighter wood finishes are a stylish alternative to a room full of dark pieces. However, you need something to break it up. This two-toned table with its black painted pedestal base fits the bill. Use one or two more black accents to punctuate the rest of the space.
Create a focal point with a dash of black. Abstract artwork brings a welcome chaos to this polished modern furniture. A splash of black is all that was needed to completely change the feel of this space by giving it an edgy vibe.
When black is already present in the space with pieces such as light fixtures and picture frames, you can easily find ways to repeat it. It can be as simple as draping a throw over the back of a chair or even mixing in some black and white pillows.
Go bold with more than a touch of black. When you paint a room black it creates a dramatic canvas. Warm the space by layering textures such as supple leather and distressed woods. Add plenty of light with accent lamps and mirrors to keep the space from feeling like a cave.
Decorating with a touch of black in every room is one rule we can get behind. Whether you use a little or a lot is up to you. If you’re unsure, don’t go it alone. You can always trust our designers to help you get it right.
