As every designer knows, the use of colour is a science in itself and can dramatically alter the aesthetics of an interior. Colours evoke different moods in people, and while one person may love the use of black, another may hate the very idea of it! Here are some ways to incorporate black colour in your home interiors.
Black is a colour that cannot be ignored; it is bold and dramatic. When used with flair, it can lend a look of sensuous sophistication to any space. It makes a definite style statement when used as part of a two (or three) tone contrasting colour palette. Designers often use the following combinations; black-and-white, black-and-red, or black-white-teal, and so on.
It’s important to keep in mind that an overdose of stark black can have an overwhelming, depressing effect. You must take special care to balance the black with neutral or vibrant shades.
A black wall has the potential to be a showstopper. It can be elegant and refined — anything but dull — when combined with elements that contrast and enhance its effect. For instance, take this image of a cleverly put together family space below. Here, the freestanding midnight wall has been used to tack up posters and to showcase doodles in chalk. The minimalistic chair, white couch, black-and-white patterned rug, and pillows only serve to accentuate the contrasting shades in the room.
This modern bedroom showcases what a stunning combination of black and red can be. This bold combination brings out a strong personality. Here, a three colour palette is brought to play, with bold and solid colours being the hallmark of the design.
While black granite or cuddapah is a popular choice for flooring, glossy black tiles in the bathroom can be very hard to maintain if the water is hard. Contrary to popular belief, black tiles need a lot of scrubbing to keep them clean! If you do have the patience and time to maintain it well, an all-black bathroom can be very glamorous indeed.
Black cabinets in the kitchen lend an air of sleek sophistication, especially when teamed with lower-level cabinetry in wood. Black granite is also a very popular choice for kitchen counters as it looks great with most cabinets, is very cost-effective and is also very easy to wipe clean.
Many people adore black for sofa upholstery as it is very forgiving with liquid spills and dirty little hands or feet. However, as already mentioned, pet fur shows up very easily against black upholstery.
