Trending || Black (or very dark) Walls

November 11, 2014



Black (or very dark grey) walls are "in" no doubt.  I'm a huge fan.  I had very bright colors in my previous home and toned everything down dramatically this time around.  We have a dark grey library, a chocolate brown bedroom and a dark blue living room.  I feel like these colors are very elegant, cozy and calming.  But I am totally intrigued by black rooms now.  It wasn't until Jessie's fabulous One Room Challenge reveal (which you need to see stat if you haven't yet) that this subconscious attraction became conscious.  Black walls are not only trending, they are sophisticated and lend themselves to both contemporary and classic design. What do you think?




Yes? or a little too daring? One thing is for sure it helps if you have good sources of light and maybe even high ceilings.

    I am a sucker for dark walls. We have one super dark grey/blue wall in the bedroom and I think it just adds so much elegance to a room. I am in love with that first photo! Major inspiration.

    I love a good dark wall! The first thing I did when we moved into our apartment was paint my dining room black. It's so worth the extra primer and paint job when we move out! ;)

    I am all about this look -- so chic. If only I weren't still in a rental!

    I want dark or black walls so badly, fighting my husband on this battle for our master bedroom, but I love it!

    I love this look and would love to have this in our apartment, if only to photograph in front of :)
