Color: Brilliant Ways to Get Back to Black - Bring light into our homes and make them feel open and airy design has been a concern for decades. So much so that, along the way, black got left behind. The idea was, how a color that draws the light and has more in common with teenage bedrooms that interior design tasteful work in elegant homes today can? But, it turns out, the answer is - beautifully
In fact, black works wonderfully for contrast, depth and personality to a space that is crawling out shelves and frames windows, where he previously worked as an accent, and finding a place on the walls and cabinets.
Of course, a black paint room is not for everyone, but as these pictures show, used wisely and well, black can pack a huge blow style fist.

contrasts with the warmth of wood
the black walls and dark floors give this office space a tranquil, enclosed feeling, just to focus on work. The office of the warmth of wood and other tanning elements stand out against the black background, helping to soften and give him an order, sophisticated feel.

stretch on the walls
black painted walls may look like a grim prospect, but when used in a room with plenty of natural light and teamed with furniture in bright colors, black on the walls is just as rich and interesting as all black paint colors.

Working with natural materials
Black occurs in nature on many stones and minerals that can also be used in the home. Slate is an excellent example, and comes in a range of tones, from light gray to deep black. Natural textures and variations of the stone bring interest to a room, and soften the effect of his dark color.

Use as a definition
Black and white is a fresh, classic color scheme for a bathroom. Here, black grout between the white subway tile adds definition, so that each tile has its own sharp boundary. A unit of black and mirror cabinet basin, teamed with patterned floor tiles, add more interest without diluting the monochrome effect.

exterior painting woodwork
Black has long been used as a lampshade for the treatment and painting outside of the house. This former telephone exchange shows how elegant it can look. Here, the black window frames were also installed for a very clean look, but you can take inspiration from the wooden houses that dot the beach at Dungeness in Kent and the team of black wood exterior with shiny executives of yellow windows, or other warm, contrasting shade.

Use as a wall feature
Black has long been a favored shade in teen rooms, but these days it is just trimming the long walls, rather than covering floor to ceiling. In a small space like this room, it adds depth and draws the eye to the furniture rather than the window, which helps the room feel less like corridor.

Punctuate with neon
really bright colors pop against the black, and the combination of black and neon shades makes a bold display. It painted black corridor has a mirror with a warm orange frame hung on a wall. This creates an interesting contrast, but, overall, the space feels coherent, not crazy, thanks to the safe use of black in the background.
