Black furniture - This is a special topic in interior design. It was never particularly common in Europe - black varnish on furniture was used in Chinese palace interiors, and it was very expensive, rare furniture that was brought to Europe for the richest aristocracy. With the development of modern furniture technologies, black furniture has become much more affordable. Now glossy black chipboard furniture is sold in literally every store and anyone can afford it. About how to choose black furniture - how to combine it with other colors, including floors, walls, accessories, which textures are important and which fade into the background - in this article, equipped with many photos and expert comments.
Combination with walls
Black furniture in the interior against a background of white wallpaper is a banal and outdated theme. Now black furniture with white walls will be appropriate in non-standard forms. Items can be of simple, laconic forms, the main thing is that they have a feature. For originality, smooth bending, transformation and the presence of holes are suitable.
You can dilute the boring snow-white wall design with wallpaper with ornaments, and black furniture will look more advantageous. If you don’t want to decorate the entire wall with patterns, then you can select only one side. And place pieces of furniture near a plain white wall.The walls do not have to be decorated only in black and white; color options are also acceptable. Red is the most popular color in a black and white interior, and is the main assistant when decorating a room.
The designers combined all red shades with black furniture. It turned out that scarlet and crimson colors are ideal for black, matte furniture. For glossy surfaces, a red color without bluish tints, such as light red and coral, is appropriate.
Lilac and pink tones are popular in designs with black furniture. When choosing this palette, it is important to install high-quality lighting. Lavender colors look great with dark furniture. Cool blue shades are ideal for creating a background. Cool tones help to emphasize objects and add dynamics to the interior. And for accent details, light colors are selected: light pink, light purple and soft green. The elements will help lighten the interior, bringing freshness into it.
Muted shades are suitable for matte furniture. Light gray is a good choice for background design; when using light tones, an interesting contrast appears.For bright details, turquoise and sea green are used. It is recommended to avoid blue and purple; if you have black furniture and gray walls, they can add darkness to the design.
Among the warm colors for black furniture, only scarlet is relevant. The remaining shades look very intrusive. You should choose very light warm colors with elegant furniture. A rich palette will make the room very heavy.
Interior zoning
In modern apartment planning, this approach is often found when there are several functions in one spacious area. Many designers advise not to clutter the room with a large number of furniture and accessories that do not have individuality and original purpose. It is much more practical to use a new design technique - space zoning. It is especially relevant for small rooms, where it is important to rationally use every free meter.
Even laconic forms should have a twist: an interesting bend, the possibility of transformation.
When performing zoning, allocate space for personal affairs and leisure activities as efficiently as possible, taking into account the preferences of the whole family.
Flooring
In catalogs, photos of black furniture show predominantly light-colored flooring. The most current coverings are made of bleached oak and wenge, light birch, ash and maple. And wood with brown colors looks bad. And it’s even more worth giving up black furniture on a black floor.
Living room
Black objects are conducive to warmth and comfort. You can add bright details, or vice versa, create a calm environment. The most popular furniture design option is the use of black cladding.
Applying bright paint to the walls will create a positive mood in the living room. The main thing to remember is that everything should be in moderation. It is recommended to lay out a contrasting carpet on a dark floor.Corridor
Black cabinets and bedside tables are selected for the hallway. A full-length mirror is installed on the cabinet, and light colors are used for decoration. For glossy surfaces, a rich range is suitable. And matte ones are characterized by muted tones.
It is recommended to use no more than two colors, and to prevent the design from looking boring, it is decorated with good lighting, backlighting and complemented with glass or mirror inserts.
Varieties of shades
For many people, the first impression of black is as follows: it is a boring and monotonous color. This opinion is wrong. There is a difference: matte or glossy surfaces, wood or leather, muted or intense shades.
To prevent the environment from being boring and monotonous, it should have interesting shapes.
Different types of palettes go with different tones. Red, orange and yellow paints are suitable for gloss; a matte surface is best combined with raspberry, ruby, brick and other pastel colors.
Bedroom
A place to sleep decorated in black is not always gloomy. By diluting dark furniture with delicate pastel shades in the design, you will get a light, airy and cozy room. For a small room, a light wall design with a dark door is suitable; this will visually raise the ceilings.
The monochrome combination is always popular. For girls, a floral pattern on the walls is suitable, while men will prefer geometric shapes. High-quality spot lighting will dilute the dark interior. The use of illuminated niches and multi-level ceilings will be relevant.
