Black Walls.

Interior Design

Back in December, I did a post about my love for black & white rooms. A few of these gorgeous spaces I highlighted had all black walls- a look I’ve been thinking about ever since. Now I know what you’re thinking- at first thought, black walls sound dark and gloomy and goth and not chic. Well, I’m here to change your mind. When used correctly, black walls are SOOO fab! With the proper lighting and accent pieces, black walls can make a room look glamorous, rustic chic, modern, clean and more. They work well in bathrooms, offices, bedrooms…or even just start with one wall for an accent.

Here are some beautiful black-walled rooms to inspire you. Let’s start with my absolute favorite:
