Black Painted Rooms, Walls, Etc.
So I mentioned that we painted our
powder room black a few weeks ago. We used
chalkboard paint but I must admit that I liked it better when it was simple and dark, before we started writing on it. It was chic and clean next to the bright white bead board. So I started cruising the 'net for rooms painted black to see how it looks applied in other rooms. I love a black wall or a whole room of them!
The key to keeping black from becoming too dark and overwhelming seems to be to pair it with white to create a high contrast. Personally, I adore some gold elements next to it!
I am madly in love with this dining room. I'm not loving the pheasant feathers everywhere but otherwise I just adore it!
What do you think? Yay or nay?
Cheers!

Yay! I love that dining room, too. Also like the wall with the floral design on it (wallpaper or stencil?).
ReplyDeleteI love a dark room or wall. I used Charcoal by Colorplace at Walmart. Colorplace is made by DutchBoy, so it covers well. It was black....but not "whoa, what did this lady paint her walls with" black. I love chalkpaint for that reason too.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it :)
