This month we are going really bold and we are going to be talking about the color BLACK!!

Black Inspiration for Your Home

The color black relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, and as a result it creates an air of mystery.  It is dramatic……very dramatic.

Take a look at these black kitchens…..

What do you guys think of this dramatic look in the kitchen??

I personally think a small powder room or bathroom is the perfect place to try something really dramatic and dark like the color black.

This bathroom above is my favorite.  I love the bring accents, like the beautiful light fixture against the dark walls.

Wallpaper also comes in some awesome Black patterns.

Here is the Schumacher wallpaper in this beautiful entry way.

If painting or wallpapering the walls is TOO dramatic…then again you can always use black accessories.

Zig Zag Pillow from Furbish Studios

or this fun cross pillow from Etsy

Or what about all of the awesome Black Light Fixtures I have been seeing everywhere…..

Both fixtures via my favorite local store School House Electric

What other places have you guys been seeing Black?  In Bedrooms??  Accessories?  Bathroom??

Is Black too dramatic or do you love the dark backdrop?

I am so honored to be sharing such beautiful spaces and objects with you guys.  Design really does not have any limits and I think the use of black shows us that!!

Until Next month……

Be Well,

Megan
