Decorating 101 - BLACK

BLACK. A colour that’s sure to be found in any wardrobe has somehow managed to create controversial opinions when it comes to home décor.

But black is still black. Why do we chose it for our clothing? And why is that little black dress so important to a girlfriend’s wardrobe? Sophistication. Mystery. Class. Goes well with pretty much anything. Dirt-proof. OK, maybe not this last one.

From wardrobe to home décor, BLACK behaves the same. It can add Depth, Sophistication, Drama and Class to any space. It does go well with anything and -in fact, it happens (in certain applications) to be dirt-proof.

So, from wardrobe to home décor, what changed? We make wardrobe decisions every day. And, as black goes with everything, it’s very often part of one’s outfit choice for the day. Now, how often do we decide to paint our walls black? It’d be fair to say: not too often. Or, for some, never. So our comfort level to make that decision is not the same… 

I’m hoping that, through some of the great visuals featured here, we will change that comfort level and when the time comes, make that decision with confidence: Go BLACK.
