Playing With Black For Your Home Design

One of the most risqué colors when it comes to interior decoration is undoubtedly black. Not only it is difficult to execute a design with the black theme, but it also brings with itself the chances of becoming overbearing for the home, post designing.

To start with, black is not a color, it is a shade. While its counterpart, the white is a tone. When it comes to use a black theme for your home design, the first task is to choose a secondary color to compliment the primary black color. The most widely used colors to go with black are red, violet and yellow. The classic choice would be white to create a monochromatic effect. Whatever the secondary color may be, the tertiary color should preferably be grey, as this would help the black theme to shine even further. In order for the room to feel big and bright, one has to keep in mind that we allow light to bounce around the walls by choosing a stark white paint, followed by introducing black accents via furniture and accessories. The use of color yellow brings the much needed warmth in the rooms. These types of designs introduce a combination of old charm and modernity.  Keeping the ceiling jet black or grey and the floor, curtains and rugs grey justifies the black theme.  This has the appeal of exotic, sexy, and glamorous. Violet gives vibrancy in the room, while red gives a radiant and a sensuous vibe to the rooms. Going for magenta or pink is also a bold choice which will give the tenderness to substitute the dominating black theme.

A black themed design is always regarded as a classic and at the same time is modern and trendy. This is one theme which never ceases to amaze people and is never out of style. Since this design is highly complicated to execute, therefore it should be undertaken meticulously otherwise it can make the home ambience dull and damp.

When it comes to furniture and accessories, keeping them on the same shade as that of the secondary color is a wise choice as it would highlight black even further. Modern and gothic art as well as renaissance paintings suits wells on black walls if you happen to be an ardent fan of those.

When worked out correctly, the black theme décor is economical and stylish and would be the reason of envy for all your guests.
