Trends will come and go, but black is timeless. Dramatic and bold, lots of black in your interior is not for the faint-hearted. Look for textures and patterns within midnight tones to form a glamorous seductive look. Keep in mind that black absorbs light so make good use of lamps and feature pendants through the room. Consider using light to create dramatic focal points. Whether you opt for ultra-modern pieces or more vintage gems, the mystery and allure of a dark, enchanting interior is irresistible.
