The common opinion of black is that it’s just too dark to
bring into the home. Not anymore! Black is making a resurgence in kitchens,
living rooms and offices, and I want to show you just how amazing it can look!

If you jazz up your kitchen with some bright appliances or
décor, black cabinets can look incredible. See how beautifully the dark
cabinets contrast with the lighter floor and cream walls? It’s a beautiful
juxtaposition.

This kitchen is taking black to a whole new level. And yet,
it works fantastically! I love the bold move of black on black, as the
cabinets, appliances and the walls
are dark! This one’s not for everybody, but it sure looks cool.

I love how the white brick walls contrast with the black
counters, faucet, cabinets and light fixtures. This is very mod and would look
great in a city home.

Black couches, black rug, black shelving … what a dream of a
living room! It doesn’t feel quite so dark because of the great lighting coming
from the oversized windows. The best thing about black furniture is that almost
anything goes with it!

Many people wouldn’t necessarily think to put a black pillow
on a black couch, but look how well it works! Especially with medium colored
walls and a light blanket and carpet. This living room has just the right mix
of hues!

Remember when black walls were highly discouraged? Not any
longer! This black wall only adds to the gorgeous wall art, and it complements
the colors of the rest of the room. I adore this arrangement!

This is another black on black on black room, and I love it.
You’ve got the floors, walls, ceilings, and even the shelving is black! Look
how much the darkness accentuates the punchy red!

The dark shelving and ceiling look lovely against the black
and white carpeting in this office. Again, the wall is brightened up by an
oversized piece of art. If it’s still too dark for you, try loading bookshelves
up with bright colored books, or even flowers or bright picture frames!
Black does not have to mean dark. In fact, it provides the
perfect backdrop for bright appliances, pieces of art and furniture! Dare to go
dark – it’s the new trend!
Love your sense of style. Following you and your trends around like a lost puppy lol. Keep up the good work.
