Even while we love the light, airy look of an all-white bedroom, there’s something about the gloomy, dark emotions of a black bedroom that we just can’t get enough of since this vibrant colour can instantly add a rich contrast and an elevated style to your bedroom.
Whether you’re trying to choose the ideal black paint for your walls or want to know how to mix a little darkness into a colourful scheme, the following black bedroom ideas will persuade you to join the dark side!
Consider Black Bed Heads
The quickest and simplest approach to master black bedroom décor is to invest in a black bed headboard and bring the chic black aesthetics in! You can go for one in a dark wood finish or ebony. Black and wood blend well together, especially in interior design. The material’s comfort and warmth set the moody tone incredibly well!
If a full-on canopy bed is not your style, consider an extra-large black bed headboard. Pick one with leather or velvet upholstery for a cosy, luxurious appearance. Wood is always a good choice especially when your aesthetics goes more toward the traditional or cosy/rustic.
If you love modern bedrooms, however, metal black bed heads are a terrific way to create a picture-perfect contemporary or industrial aesthetic.
And, for those wondering what goes with a black headboard, cooler neutral shades of grey and navy blue may be what you need for the muted or darker colour scheme for your bedroom. Therefore, a grey or tan comforter will look fantastic with your black headboard and bring a modern feel to it while lightening up your space.
On the other hand, comforters and other bedding frequently come in the fashionable neutral colour of white. It’s simple to appreciate the sharp contrast between your white comforter and black headboard, and the impression it generates is unmistakably modern and stylish.
Because of their intense colour saturation, jewel tones also stand out against a black headboard. Jewel tones can be found in a variety of hues, including magenta, cyan, and citron yellow.
Light-up With Contrasting Ceilings
Although black wall paint is a truly stylish option if you’re concerned that it might make the room feel a little weighty, open up the space with a white ceiling.
Even while it is striking, the stark contrast will make the space feel more harmonious, especially if you introduce the white from a picture rail upwards, and create a panelled-wall room.
The approach described here also applies to grey bedroom decor. Both darkness and brightness give your paint scheme a tonal effect and feel invigorating.
Use Linens to Add Texture
It takes more than just paint to get a black-and-white appearance. Textiles are a necessary component of every bedroom, but they also significantly enhance a neutral colour scheme by adding interest and warmth.
A monochrome style with pure-black walls and pristine white linen will feel clean and architectural. To keep the space seeming airy and exciting when choosing black, remember to incorporate lots of texture.
To make the bed the focal point of your bedroom, opt for bed sheets in black or a deep shade of grey to instantly update your colour scheme and give it a moodier feel.
Also, add decorative cushions in coordinating dark hues to finish the look. A large black throw placed over a nearby chair will perfectly match the decor. Alternatively, you may achieve the same chic look by hanging a few black-and-white pictures over the bed.
Try to keep the furniture lighter, such as with white linen curtains and beds. White bedrooms benefit greatly of this texture addition because it makes the space feel cosier and less clinical.
Make an Impact With Black-Based Wallpaper
Can’t decide on the ideal colour for a bedroom? Use a wallpaper with intricate patterns to establish a colour scheme that includes three or four key hues and stick with them throughout the space. To maximise the effect, pair this wallpaper with black.
This provides a wonderful foundation for adding a lot of black elsewhere in the space without it looking overly dark, like in furniture or bedding. Moreover, the wallpaper’s lighter or coloured accents provide room balance throughout and allow you to mix lighter accents with darker items.
Pair Cool Black With Bold Tones
Black doesn’t have to dominate your bedroom scheme! If used properly, it can serve as an alternate blank canvas for brightly coloured layers.
Since black symbolizes the absence of colour, it serves as the ideal backdrop for décor items, natural wood tones, plants, and colours, particularly more daring options like yellow or orange. Alternatively, when given a white frame to make a print stand out, well-chosen black wall paint will serve as a terrific background for displaying your wall art.
Blend the black accents with primary colours or jewel tones for a softer effect. Also, consider a colourful illustration, which uses orange, turquoise, pink, and gold to give darker tones a lively air. You can even combine a wood headboard and a black-and-white duvet with a variety of patterns and textures for a distinctive, welcoming bedroom look.
Just as there are cool blacks, there are warm blacks as well. These blacks pair well with dark browns, scarlet reds, and light pinks. For that reason, consider peach sand walls, cream bed linen, and textiles with red ochre-inspired designs contrasted with a warm black headboard, bed skirt, and lampshades.
Take It to the Floor
If using black on your walls feels a touch too overt, consider taking it to the floor. If you want a bedroom with a soft, essentially monochromatic appearance consider white walls that keep the space light and a floor with a geometric pattern such as black hexagonal tiles that adds visual interest to the design. This provides a streamlined backdrop for dark furniture and bright accents, allowing the cosmopolitan décor to shine out. A reading lamp and sliding door painted in black bring the black closer to eye level to prevent the room from feeling too bottom-heavy.
