The black-style interior is unusual, but very attractive, even a little bewitching. Of course, it’s absolutely not worth making all surfaces black. It is achromatic and non-spectral, so it can be organically combined with all other shades. The use of black furniture in interiors is often encountered, with the help of which they create accents, zone the space, and emphasize its individuality and elegance.
For example, you can install a black sofa in the interiors of rooms with different purposes. A combination with white will help make the space stylish and strict at the same time. Enliven the room by using other colors. With the help of black you can strengthen them, make them more visible, bright and significant in space.
Advantages and disadvantages
The undeniable advantages of black include the following:

For example, choosing black flooring in interiors will make them strict, elegant and sophisticated. With this solution, you can use absolutely any color for the walls. Therefore, property owners have the opportunity to design them in accordance with personal preferences.
Room decor
When choosing accessories, you should rely on the general style of the room. If it seems that the room is devoid of freshness, then the space can be decorated with the help of indoor plants. Small flower pots can fill your home with sentimental and feminine notes. The sleeping area can be advantageously decorated with photographs, paintings and floor vases.
Black furniture looks luxurious and is a practical option for furnishing a soft seating area in the living room.
Textile accessories should be chosen based on shades and texture. Silk fabrics can add coziness to a room. Velvet textures provide aristocratic chic and presentability. Leather will add solidity.
Secrets of black
The interior, with black wallpaper, needs bright contrasts. It's no secret that many people are prejudiced against this color. For some, it symbolizes depression and is associated on a subconscious level with negativity, or it can be associated with mystery and mystery. Black always becomes the dominant color in interiors, so it must be used carefully, carefully considering the decorative design, shape and color scheme of the furniture.
A black room can combine different styles related to modern trends. It can be hi-tech or loft. In order to prevent the negative influence of black, it is important to combine it with light and bright shades, combine matte and glossy surfaces, and introduce extraordinary decorative elements into the interior. If you think through everything correctly, you will experience a feeling of security, privacy, intimacy, and calm.
It is comfortable to be in interiors with dark pieces of furniture. They have a calming effect on people, help them relax and feel as pleasant as possible.

Helen: 04/19/2012 at 8:21 pm Black furniture harmonizes well with wicker items.
Katya: 04/18/2012 at 10:40 pm Good afternoon! I want to describe everything to you once again, otherwise I’ll soon have trouble sleeping because of my thoughts! I’m doing renovations in my room 14m. If you make a light-colored bed https://borovichi-mebel.com/tahta/opn2558.html - like this, the shelves of the built-in wardrobe are black, the doors are mirrored. The stretch ceiling is white gloss. What color should I use for the floor, wallpaper and curtains?
ticca:
04/23/2012 at 2:52 am Make the floor light, preferably like in the presentation photo of the bed. For walls and curtains, take colors from the water palette https://ticca.ru/tsvetovye-palitryi/tsveta-vodyi/: for walls, choose a light color - turquoise, blue, light green, lavender. And for curtains - another color from the same palette, more saturated (for example, the walls are light lavender, then the curtains are rich pink).
Katya: 04/25/2012 at 1:26 pm Tissa, and if the floor is made black, the color of the filling of the closet, and the bed is light, the walls are milky and the curtains, as you said, are crimson, the ceiling is white, then how will it be?
ticca: 04/05/2012 at 12:36 am That will be good too. True, the subfloor, of course, will be very active. But if you get tired of it, you can always buy a light carpet.
Katya: 04/17/2012 at 5:40 pm and is everything I have in mind harmonious? How do you think?
Katya: 04/17/2012 at 4:06 pm Hello, can you tell me how best to do it? I'm renovating my 14m2 room. I'm making a built-in wardrobe, mirrored sliding doors, shelves and drawers in a wenge-colored closet. I want to order a dark bed, the back is made of leather, the color is gray-brown, similar to wenge. The ceiling will be a stretch white gloss. What color should I choose wallpaper and curtains?
ticca: 04/17/2012 at 8:00 pm I would recommend a very light gray color for the walls and berry shades (raspberry, strawberry, etc.) for the curtains - it will be very modern. You can make the walls cream to make it warmer.
Kate:
04/18/2012 at 11:20 am Thank you, but can you tell me what color to make the floor, otherwise I’m confused! and the bed is better dark or light)))
Katya: 04/18/2012 at 12:48 pm https://borovichi-mebel.com/tahta/opn2558.html – this is the bed I chose, but I can’t decide whether it’s light or dark, please tell me
ticca: 04/22/2012 at 10:14 pm If the walls are light gray, then the bed will be milky white, as in the photo. If the walls are cream, then you can have a dark bed.

09/01/2012 at 10:20 pm Ticca, hello! Thank you very much for your recommendations! Again, I need your advice - in my son’s room (14.5 sq m) the walls are covered with wallpaper with retro cars on a beige background and there is a wardrobe and a bed in black and brown, repeating the outlines of the car on the wallpaper (not yet gloomy!) Is it possible to combine dark furniture with white or pine color under stain? The floors are light brown, the doors are ivory. Thank you!
ticca: 09/01/2012 at 10:31 pm If the furniture is large, then it is better to make it white - just so that it does not look gloomy. If the furniture is small (like a bedside table), then you can use pine wood under the stain.
Eva: 04/01/2012 at 6:20 pm Hello! I read your articles with enthusiasm and, it seems to me, only you can help me))
The gist is this: Room 14 meters, bedroom. One wall is pure white, the other is white with some kind of silver pattern, abstraction. On the white side there is black glossy furniture, namely: a pencil case and two horizontal cabinets, on one of them there is a TV, the other hangs from above. A black bed, in fact only the back and black legs are visible from it, the rest is the mattress))
And two small bedside tables, also black. All. There is nothing else for now. Please advise what color to choose curtains, blanket (bedspread), rug and sconces? And most importantly, I will need to make a custom-made wardrobe, so now I’m tormented - what plan? Thank you very much in advance.
ticca:
05/01/2012 at 2:53 pm Cool colors will suit your room - light blue, turquoise is not very rich and bright, but a little powdery, pastel lilac will go well, all light green shades, cold pink. Some of these colors should be used for curtains and bedspreads. (In your case, it will be better if the bedspread and curtains are, if not from the same fabric, then at least similar in color) And for the carpet.
For example, the curtains are pastel lilac with silver trim, the bedspread is pastel lilac without silver trim, the rug is mint color (a light cool silver-green). A couple of decorative pillows on the bed. One is light blue, the other is mint. The pillows may have silver embroidery. Sconces are best with a silver base and a white lampshade.
Make the cabinet glossy white, and make one (or two) of the doors mirrored.

22/11/2011 at 6:50 pm Silver decor definitely. As for the bedspread, I’ll say this: you can have a white one, but then let it have silver embroidery or other silver trim. Or you can, for example, olive or light green to add more color to the room. Also with silver trim.
Nadezhda: 11/16/2011 at 1:21 pm Please tell me which curtains to choose? In my bedroom the walls are blue, the tiles on the ceiling are also blue. The furniture is black and silver. I'm thinking of choosing drapery curtains in a warm shade of blue, white tulle, and silver mesh. Is my decision correct?
ticca: 11/18/2011 at 5:50 am A silver lambrequin will be just right, and blue curtains are also good, but the shade of blue must be chosen very carefully. Look here https://ticca.ru/ottenki-interera/ for tips on creating a tint interior, I hope they will help you, in general, few people decide on tint interiors, your interior will definitely be unusual!

08/10/2011 at 11:57 pm Hello! Please help me decide on a color scheme for a teenage girl. This is her first separate room and I would like it not to disappoint her! She wanted a panel on one wall (where the bed will be). On a white background there are gray outlines of houses and large inscriptions in English in black letters. The panel is nice, but now we are puzzled: what color should we make the other two walls? (Besides them, there are two more windows in the room). We will be very grateful for your advice!
ticca: 09/10/2011 at 12:10 am Look at the main shade of gray used in the panel. If it is warm, choose light (necessarily light) warm shades for the walls - light yellow, light creamy pink, actual cream, maybe light orange (look at the pale orange shade in the pastel color palette). In this case, use more saturated warm colors for accessories, curtains and bedspreads. If the main gray color is cold, choose soft blue, turquoise, light green colors for the walls.
Then the accessories can be rich, cool colors, or bright yellow or bright orange. A soft, soft lilac for the walls will also go well with the cool gray color. Then the accessories can be pink, silver, purple. (Well, this is an amateur design).

08/10/2011 at 12:32 am Hello! Please help me select a harmonious upholstery color for a black sofa! We moved to an apartment decorated in warm colors. The wallpaper is light beige with a repeating pattern of ocher rectangles with dark brown patterns. The carpet is ocher, the doors are laminated beech (most likely). In all this warmth they brought a massive one (in this article it looks like a sample sofa with matte upholstery photo 26), upholstered in black velor with zebra back cushions and inserts on the armrests made of mahogany...
There is also black furniture in the room. Glossy TV stand, TV itself, computer desk (metal + glass). Unfortunately, the only piece of furniture that you can do something with (change the upholstery only on the backs or completely) is the sofa. I tried orange on the pillows, both a bright and a soft shade - there was no harmony at all, please advise!
ticca:
08/10/2011 at 1:54 am If you are determined to change the upholstery on your sofa, then in principle you are quite free to choose the color for the new upholstery. All warm shades of green will suit you. For example, olive, and soft light red shades (coral primarily, but you can also consider terracotta). And warm gray or walnut shades. It can be done more elegantly. For example, choose a pistachio or kiwi color for a sofa. These green shades will best connect the warm surroundings of the room and black furniture and will look good against the wallpaper.
You will also need one or two accessories in the same color as the sofa. Which should be placed next to black furniture. For example, you can attach at least a small vase or box to the TV stand. And on the computer. table - a glass for pens or a wall organizer. (By the way, you can make it from the same fabric that will be used to upholster the sofa. – https://ticca.ru/organayzer-svoimi-rukami/).
This is how I advise you to choose a color for your sofa. Remove all of your textiles from your closets that have colors on the list. And apply each of them to the sofa so that they are in contact with the walls and black upholstery. (If you do not completely change the upholstery.). And try to imagine how this color will look on the entire sofa. This way you will choose the right color. Then you will simply look for fabric in stores with this item.
Types of black
Black does not have many shades compared to chromatic shades. It is important to understand that they will only appear when exposed to natural or artificial light. Dark pieces of furniture in interiors, like any other surfaces, can also be matte or glossy, which expands the possibilities for using black. In design, it is important to think through everything to the smallest detail so that the space is organic and sophisticated.
You can combine black in the following shades in interiors:
- silicon, i.e. with the inclusion of gray,
- crow's wing, i.e. coal with blue,
- royal opal, i.e. interspersed with gray,
- marengo, dark gray,
- carbonic,
- earthy.
Interiors with black furniture and other surfaces can be varied, despite their achromatic appearance.
Glossy or matte?
Now let's talk about the black furniture itself. Surely you have wondered whether to take glossy or matte, large or small. Below are a few photos for you to illustrate both questions.
In my opinion, glossy black upholstered furniture, like the leather sofa in the photo, looks better and more elegant than matte. Of course, it requires more careful care, but it pays off with a beautiful appearance.
But matte black upholstered furniture, like the textile sofa in the photo, looks worn from the first days, and after a couple of years of use it looks like a faded rag.
Combination with wall color
If black is present, the interior can be decorated in different combinations. It harmonizes perfectly with the following shades:
- Gold symbolizes luxury and wealth. The result is an emphasis on the prestige of the property, sophistication and originality.
- White, beige, which in combination with black help create classic solutions that are pleasing to the eye.
- Yellow, allowing you to make the room extravagant, filled with the unique energy of solar heat.
- Orange, which will emphasize the activity and dynamic nature of the space.
- Red, which contrasts so well. It is preferable to dilute such a bright combination with white to make the space easier for visual perception.
Despite the ability of black to be combined with all shades of the palette, its use in spaces with blue, purple, and other dark, cold shades is not recommended. This is because with this design the rooms will become gloomy. Not everyone is comfortable being in such spaces.
How to avoid mistakes when designing
To avoid mistakes in interior design, follow certain rules:
- Do not combine too many decors and ornaments in one style.
- Don't go for a completely monochromatic design - it's a bad idea. The room will look boring and banal.
- Don't overload the room with too much black furniture.
- Do not use decorative stickers in your design; they look tasteless.
- Pay attention to multifunctional items that will help make the space more comfortable.
Black furniture is perfect for spacious, bright living rooms.
The decor can be either contrasting or monochrome. Don't be afraid to use black. By combining, combining, inventing something new, you will definitely be able to achieve the desired effect. Remember that black color is liked only by strong, strong-willed and decisive individuals who are used to not denying themselves anything.
The main condition is that all furnishings and decorations must be in harmony with each other.
On the issue of floor colors
When thinking through the interior space, it is important to decide what kind of floor, walls, ceiling to make, and what color to buy furniture. If you intend to use shades of black in the decor, it is important not to overdo it so that the space is elegant and evokes positive emotions from visual perception. Therefore, it is better to dilute dark shades with light ones. If all the walls or one are black, the following are suitable for decorating the floor:
- grey,
- brown,
- white,
- beige.
You don't have to limit yourself to these colors. The flooring can be combined, for example, by combining shades of red with brown or beige. You can experiment to create an exclusive space, zone it with flooring, and create a festive atmosphere.
Varieties of shades
For many people, the first impression of black is as follows: it is a boring and monotonous color. This opinion is wrong. There is a difference: matte or glossy surfaces, wood or leather, muted or intense shades.
To prevent the environment from being boring and monotonous, it should have interesting shapes.
Different types of palettes go with different tones. Red, orange and yellow paints are suitable for gloss; a matte surface is best combined with raspberry, ruby, brick and other pastel colors.
Black in every space
If desired, use shades of black in all rooms. Those who want to hold all real estate in a single concept do exactly this. You can do things differently: decorate one of the walls with this color, install a decorative partition, buy furniture. There are different approaches to embodying style, therefore, despite the same concept, it will be possible to make each room unique and unlike any other. Designers love to experiment and create spectacular and stylish interior solutions.
Interior zoning
In modern apartment planning, this approach is often found when there are several functions in one spacious area. Many designers advise not to clutter the room with a large number of furniture and accessories that do not have individuality and original purpose. It is much more practical to use a new design technique - space zoning. It is especially relevant for small rooms, where it is important to rationally use every free meter.
Even laconic forms should have a twist: an interesting bend, the possibility of transformation.
When performing zoning, allocate space for personal affairs and leisure activities as efficiently as possible, taking into account the preferences of the whole family.
The need for light
If the interior is decorated in black, it is important to ensure there is enough light. If there is little natural light in the room during the day, lighting equipment will need to be used more often. The use of all types of black requires the proper level of illumination for the difference to be noticeable.
When planning where to install lighting equipment, you will need to consider its presence near the sofa and other furnishings. Not only the overall level of illumination matters, but also the ability to illuminate a separate area so that, for example, it is convenient to read or do other things.
Among the lamps and chandeliers existing today, it is easy to choose the ones suitable for each specific space. You can give preference to traditional chandeliers, floor lamps and sconces, or purchase LED strips or use point light sources. It is necessary to plan installation locations and the number of devices before starting repairs. The ability to partially turn on the equipment or adjust its brightness is important. The more possibilities you provide, the more comfortable you will be in the interior.
