10 rooms that will inspire you to paint & decorate with black

By:

Design’s most dramatic shade makes a huge comeback in everything from ebony floors to charcoal walls.

Black – it’s polished, glamorous and undeniably stylish. Whether you dress head-to-toe in the classic hue or love the drama that high-gloss ebony walls bring to your home, its versatility has kept it a classic in the design world. No longer is the bold shade being used merely as an accent to brighter hues in the home, however. This season, black is back in a major way, seen in everything from wallcoverings to flooring to drapery, making a statement as a focal point rather than a supporting player.

Looking to introduce a healthy dose of black into your home? Take inspiration from these ten stylish spaces to get the modern glam look that’s massively on-trend this season.

Black on white

Black and white paired together can create some incredibly timeless looks. In this room, black is contrasted against white to play up the room’s modern attributes, with the darker hue taking centre stage in the lacquered table and leather bench.

Dramatic bathroom

Trade in floor-to-ceiling white for the timeless elegance of black with richly painted walls – just remember to give the space plenty of natural light and reflective surfaces to veer it away from feeling dreary.

Decorating with black

Chic charcoal

If you’re not ready to introduce the blackest-of-blacks into your home, try a lighter shade of the hue. A charcoal-coloured wall gives you the same high-impact drama of a deep ebony, but with an added softness.

Black in the bedroom

Decorating with black

Fabulous feature wall

Nothing makes a statement like midnight black walls. Paired against a white ceiling, pale accents and soft textures, the walls of this dramatic dining room are anything but dreary.

Decorating with black

Schoolhouse style

Whilst most people stray from black in the kitchen and opt for tell-all white, this season is all about introducing bold design features to the hub of your home. Install a black chalkboard wall – it’s the perfect way for the kids to show off their creative skills.

Chic chinoiserie

Give an all-white bathroom a touch of Old World glamour with a bold chinoiserie printed wallpaper. The wallcovering adds an element of traditional sophistication to an otherwise contemporary space.

Masculine stripes

Decorating a teenage boy’s room or a man cave? Draw on a bold and masculine aesthetic by contrasting deep black and charcoal stripes on the wall – it’s the perfect backdrop for brightly-coloured accessories.
