They are dramatic, to say the least. They can read mysterious, serious, sophisticated.
The dark wall, either as an accent wall in a room or
enveloping the entire room, becomes an important wall.

These eggplant colors don't read quite as deeply dramatic as the charcoal and black walls.

This reads quite dressy, wouldn't you say?

In the bedroom, it becomes soothing. Great color- Pratt & Lambert's Wolf.

The large window and adjoining white walls allow the dark wall to shine.

As a casual accent wall:
or the room's happily formal walls, which are reflected in the furniture and accessories.

Would you dare to include a dark wall in your home's decor?
What a great post! I certainly dare to bring in a dark wall in an interior! I just love it! As in the 1st pic. here the vivid colours of decoration items give a wonderful contrast!!

I loved the all white bedroom with the dark walls. I'm with Greet. Dare to be different. That bedroom becomes more modern. Not so sweet. Opposites do attract!
ReplyDeleteThat dark bedroom (photo by Trovato) is one of my absolute favorites!
ReplyDeleteI love dark walls, it's how you pull the rest of the room together as to whether or not it works. I had a chocolate brown dining room and it was stunning...I loved that room!
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm I love dark walls although I don't have any in my own house I have recently done three rooms in charcoal, charcoal and dark blue as well as a gorgeous deep eggplant...always dramatic and rather theatrical you have to have the personality to go with!
