Whether it is used as a bold statement or as a subtle accent colour, an all-black interior is an established trend that is seemingly here to stay. Embracing the dark hues in your home may be daunting, however, if used correctly this versatile colour can add interest, depth, and contrast to any room.
For the more daring individuals who are wanting to create a striking focal point, coating your walls with a black paint such as Farrow & Ball Pitch Black will add drama and decadence to your space. Balance out the black backdrop with lighter pieces such as the Venus Storage Bed in chalk for a bedroom or Ella Sofa in chalk for a living room. Not only will this be in line with the Monochrome Classic trend, but the light colour of the chalk will emerge against the black, whilst the brass accents will add warmth.
Alternatively, push the boundaries by adding an all-black bed or sofa. The Heidi King Bed is constructed from wood with a matte black lacquer finish, whilst the Albert King Bed is in a soft black velvet. Playing with a mixture of black-on-black textures and materials will add depth whilst giving the room a moody and seductive, luxurious feel.
For a living room, adding the Selini Sofa in black will amplify the dramatic effect with its soft, fluid silhouette, or for that extra punch, include the Portman Sofa in black; a classic and elegant addition, incorporating style without sacrificing comfort.
For this dark interior to feel inviting, careful attention to lighting is needed. Our Delano Light Range covers all bases with a wall light, three light pendant, eight light chandelier and floor light. The sculptural form, matte black finish, brass detailing and warm white light combine a clever fusion of functionality and aesthetics to create a cosy atmosphere.
If the idea of a black wall fills you with fear, you may prefer to jump on trend by adding smaller pieces such as a coffee or side table. Our popular Rippon range has been reimagined to have a stylish matte black finish. The aim was to appeal to a more minimalistic audience whilst still in-keeping with our glam ethos. This versatile range will suit any interior whether you’re traditional or transitional, scandi, contemporary or all out extravagant. Anything goes. Add a bold bright pumpkin Eva Chair for excitement, the Brunswick Sofa in taupe for softness, a Cascade Tub Chair in brass or silver for dramatic glamour. Using juxtaposing pieces and colours ensures the black accents ground the room, giving the eye a place to rest, enhancing the colours and shapes around it.
With working from home being the new norm, an office refresh may be the way to add black into your home. The Lorenzo desk is a nod to our mirrored furniture roots with its toughened black glass and brass leg detailing. Combine with a Bellucci Circles Chair in black and the Valencia Table Light in black to complete the look; adding texture and depth to your new, fresh space creating the perfect environment to inspire productivity all whilst being utterly glamourous.
An accent chair such as the Margonia Tub Chair or Brodie Swivel chair can simply add presence, elevating a corner or a landing. Create clean, strong lines with the Boulevard Rug or enhance your décor with the black glass Anastasia Radiator cover. Rossini Bar Stools in black give a refined, sophisticated feel to your kitchen. The Black Gold wall art range come in a classic black frame adding a small accent detail to your walls. The possibilities are endless.
Behind the scenes we have been busy designing new ranges keeping up with the all-black theme. The Orion Nesting Coffee and Side Tables feature a glossy black glass with a bevelled edge with a contrasting matte black metal finish. The Oskar Range which includes a coffee table, console table, side table and shelf unit, consists of a striking white marble mixing with the black metal finish creating a simplistic yet elegant look. The Kingston Range is a new direction for us with the introduction of wicker. Fusing the boho, tropical vibe with hotel chic; giving the products a refined twist to suit our style. Our popular Alveare Range has also had an all-black makeover with a new metal finish and your choice of upholstery colour.
