4 Ways to use black in your home decor

20 June 2022

Black as a color is not considered positive. Many times, people associate this color with negativity, depression, and darkness. But this is something that does not apply everywhere. The color, if used in home decor, can legitimately vibe up your home. Adding a bit of black can help you get that grounding effect, which is very important for your home interior. The color black can be used in any room and in any style. The color offers such flexibility that it can be used on your couch, on the wall, or on the floor. 

The colour black is said to absorb light. This particular feature allows you to use this color in combination with other colours. You can even combine it with high-gloss finishes to enhance the look of the furniture and the visibility of various other objects that are in your room. Since the colour offers a lot of flexibility, you should not forget that using too much black can harm the look of your room. Just use black to an extent where things in your space can be tied up well with each other. Try a black picture frame, a black coffee table, or even something as simple as a black pillow or cushion to achieve that dramatic effect. Another great thing about using this color in your home decor is that it ties things together. Think of putting a photo frame in your living room. Obviously, the photos will be of different colors and styles. Putting them in one single black frame can give you a unified look. There is something special that this colour does. Since we have talked a lot about the benefits that you can get if you use black as a colour in your home decor, let's just dig into some tricks to use the colour more perfectly. 

1. Furniture and furnishing

 

Black is an impactful color. Consider using black-colored furniture and furnishings. If you do this, trust us, you will never regret it. Using black-colored furniture gives your house a unique look, and this is something that all of us want. But you need to be a bit cautious while incorporating black-colored furniture into any part of your house. What you need to take care of is the light. Use the lights smartly. Black is a murky color, so you need to balance it out well. You can do this by using lights or with the help of other colors. For instance, if you plan to use a black-colored coffee table, you can pair it with white marble flooring to get that contrast effect. If you do this, your space will definitely have an invigorating effect. 

2. Use black in hallways to get that grand look

 

Using black in hallways can help you get a grand entrance look. Hallways are the first thing that anyone notices as soon as they enter your space. Also, hallways are the busiest thoroughfares in your house, with people passing each other at the busiest time of the day. Accenting black in hallways can make your entrance impressive and grand.

3. Black accent wall

 

Using a black background in the bedroom can give a cohesive feel. The colour offers an excellent backdrop for other colourful accessories, artwork, and murals. If you feel an entire black wall might look bland, pair it up with colored furniture, and indoor plants, go for some textures, or try picking up black wallpaper for your room. You can even try using white pillows or blankets to get a lively look. And most importantly, do not forget to use proper lighting and mirrors to achieve a magical look.

4. Consider having a black ceiling

 

A black ceiling is definitely going to add that much-needed drama to your room. Consider having a black ceiling in your bedroom. This is because it is surely going to give a cozy vibe, and this is what bedrooms are for. A black ceiling will not only draw your attention to it, but it will also add architectural interest. Another advantage of having a black ceiling is that it will make your high ceiling look low.

Since the colour can be used in several different ways and can offer umpteen benefits, never give it a second thought if you decide to use it in your home interior. We would say black is a colour that helps you get a bold, timeless yet trendy look. Since the colour is dark, you should be a little cautious while you use it. But if you are willing to experiment with black, go for it. If you find yourself lost while doing it, we are here to help. Reach out to us to get the best interior design advice in Singapore.
