Black solid wood bedroom furniture is fast becoming one of the top choices for teenagers and couples alike. Available in traditional looks and sleek modern styles, black is one of the hottest colors. If you want to have a sleek set in black but are not sure how to decorate the room, here are some steps to take black furnishings to the next level.
Do not be afraid of color
They might scream out for white or gray walls, but it is not always necessary. Any cool shade can go well with black. Go with a blue hue with gray undertones, or with gorgeous lavender. Black is a neutral color, so you can paint your walls any color that you like. And while you can use deep colors, your furniture will look better with lighter background colors. Plus, it will keep the room from feeling too austere.
Mirrors on the dressers
Black absorbs light, leaving the room feeling like a cave. Ensure that you make the most of any available light by placing mirrors on your dressers. A couple of well-placed mirrors are attractive add-ons to the furnishings, and will reflect light to keep the space feeling airy and bright. The Anna Vanity with Stool – Black by Linon makes for a great addition.
Intricate headboards and footboards
If you want black furnishings but would not want to go overboard with them, consider a bed with elegant headboards like the Black Queen / Full Size Combo Headboard Or Footboard Only by Monarch Specialties. They will allow more light to come through for an open feeling. The black then becomes accent furniture around the bed, giving more focus on your gorgeous dressers and accent pieces.
Light and bright flooring
Prevent feeling confined in your room or making it too cavernous by picking light flooring. When floors are bright and light, the black will look fantastic and be a great asset in your space which, in this case, is your bedroom. Dark flooring will only make you feel closed in, leaving the room feeling unwelcoming and dark.
Spread out the furniture
If you are not careful enough, black can very well dominate a bedroom. To prevent this, take some time and spread out furniture so the room does not end up looking unbalanced. Intersperse with lighter furniture or those with touches of colors like the Nightstand by TrueModern, or with other accents to maintain balance and visual appeal.
There is nothing like black furniture to create a different look in a bedroom. Truly, black is one fine choice that you will never grow tired of.
