This is kind of a Part II to last week’s post In A Black Mood, featuring a variety of lovely rooms painted black.
Over the weekend, my friend Julie sent me pictures of her beautiful black master bedroom and I just had to share.
I think it is so, so elegant and I love that she kept things simple with white bedding and black and white curtains. The black walls give it depth, warmth and drama.
I love how her furniture looks against the black walls too. She used Tricorn Black by Sherwin Williams. Such a lovely “cocoon” don’t you think?
I also came across this gorgeous living room in the latest issue of House Beautiful. Again, everything else in the room has been kept simple and neutral, yet the rooms still feels quite dramatic.
Designer Patrick Sutton suggests Benjamin Moore Iron Mountain in a semi-gloss and to use metallic accents for a “black-tie” dressiness.
Finally, more black-spotting … I have been seeing a lot of black window panes lately and they kind of make me swoon. I think they give a room and sort of historical feel and are an especially nice way to frame a lovely view. I love something so unexpected. Most people never give much thought to the color of their windowpanes. Do you?
