    Black is the most important colour. It grounds everything. One of the reasons people are unsettled by all-pastel, or some scandi rooms, is that it feels like everything is ethereal, like it’s going to float away. Even if it’s just a pronounced shadow, it’s necessary to have it in there somewhere.

      When I was in my early 20s (wow! 40 years ago now) I had learned that a every room needed a bit of black somewhere. I loved that because I have decorated that way for years.
      As a kid growing up my mother made my room up beautifully, and my metal change can, and other metal tin, I painted black. I still have those on my bookshelves. I still love them just as much as when I was a 10 year old Lil Cowboy (girl).

    I live in a small beach town where, within proper city limits, the Historic Society has control over which colors you can and cannot paint the exterior of your home. For years this meant lots of gawdy brights houses and stark white exteriors. They recently updated the "approved colors list" to include black, and a few all-black homes have popped up; it is absolutely gorgeous! Picture huge, authentic Victorian homes painted all black, surrounded by lush greenery and lavish gardens, against the Atlantic Ocean....its beautiful and literally changed the landscape of our entire town even though it's just a few homes so far. It really makes me want to paint the exterior of my home black as well!!
    My favorite color has always been black, whether matte or glossy, in any variety of shades, I feel like crisp black makes everything feel so fresh and, at the same time, mysterious.
    I have more than a little bit of black in my home and couldn't imagine life without it. I wear black every day - usually all black - it never gets boring bc the materials themselves, the textures, make each garment feel unique and special. It's clean, elegant, mysterious, and always in style. I 🖤 BLACK!!!

    I'm a designer and there are many easy and less expensive ways to add a chic touch of black to most interiors. Start with a black lamp shade or art and photos framed in black. Perhaps a black throw blanket . Use black velvet pillow covers or accent pillows trimmed with black cording or fringe. Look for vintage style black and gold accent tables or black accent chairs to elevate and add a sophisticated element to a room. Group a few pieces of black pottery on a shelf or built in. Black hardware on wood or painted cabinets look chic as do black faucets and wall sconces. There are many small ways to add a big impact to a room and there are so many great interior images to view on the Internet. Let your imagination go and have fun with it!

    You don't have to get me excited about black accents in interior decor, since I use black and off-white as a foundation on which to decorate the rooms. In my bedroom, I have black fishbowl planters rimmed in gold with mountains, water, and flora, a 43"x32" B&W canvas poster of my husband and me from 2018 in my home office, and art framed in black and gold in these rooms and others around the house.
    I also used black in the kitchen, but not on the cabinets (wanted to keep things lighter on this SW-facing side of the house. There's the Black Galaxy granite countertop to compliment my off-white Shaker cabinets, gray subway-tiled backsplash that looks like stone, and Le Creuset cookware in Flame (orange) as accents on off-white open shelves on one side of my box bay window and a plant wall on the other side.

      @@JulieKhuu Thanks to you for that extra inspiration for the color black. This color has been a long-time favorite, whether I'm wearing the color or decorating with it around the house. My first use of black in interior decor was when I bought my first formal china pattern in 1979 -- Chinoiserie, by Fitz & Floyd, and decorated my dining room around this pattern.
      One more thing that I needed to clarify...I had a B&W 8"x10" photo enlarged into black-framed canvas art measuring 43" L x 32" W x 2" D, rather than a simple poster. Took more shopping time to find a custom canvas photo at this larger size that looked proportional (did not look stretched or squished) and did not cut-off details at the sides.

    Yes, please, to the color series! This video feels very timely given many of us have gone really neutral through the pandemic and now that another fall/winter season is approaching we want a refresh to reflect the seasonal change. Black integrates so nicely with my light woods and cream/tan furniture. I made the modest step into black decor with a lovely bust and I'm now looking around to see how I can incorporate more while retaining the light airy feel I love so much. I envy those who have paintable window panes. Mine are inexpensive and the "panes" are sandwiched between the glass. The hack I've seen using black electrical tape seems a bit too cheapy and impractical for cleaning. I really appreciate all the work you put into presenting so many gorgeous photos supporting your design ideas.

    Loved this video! I moved to a new-to-me house early this year, and I’m finding my way on updating and decorating it. It’s an older farmhouse, in the California wine country, so I appreciated that you showed how to use black in every style of home.
    I want a calm, peaceful, country atmosphere with modern touches. The house is getting painted a dark gray, and I painted the
    front door black. The built in hutch in the dining room was already painted black, so I added a black bar, and a teak dining table with black chairs. That’s as far as I’ve made it so far, so I’ll be watching this video again for more inspiration!

    I just finished two bathrooms white tile black grout. To make it organic a wood look tile on the floor. I did a lot of research on this look before I committed to the look. My inspiration was nyc subways. The grout there was not black but brown to hide the staining which would occur over time. Still have to clean the tiles but no more moldy black spotty white grout. And clear silicone around fixtures helps too.

    Black is my favorite color as well. I just purchased a black quartz kitchen counter top that has a hint of fine sparkle dust that you really have to look to see , it's not installed yet, it will be in 3 weeks, I just painted the wall under the white chair rail black, I am going to paint the window above the sink, and sliding glass door black as well, I bought flooring that looks like wood that has a slight touch of black in it to tie it all together, I bought high end bamboo curtains and black iron rods that will tie the cabinets and flooring together , I plan to put a red topper to coordinate the large photo of people in Paris walking in the rain with red umbrella, it has a black frame with a slight gold trim around the photo. I have installed bronze/black light fixtures through the whole main floor of the house to tie the rest of the house together with the kitchen, as is somewhat an open concept.
