Black Home Decor Ideas

How to implement this color? If it’s a bathroom, you can add black fixtures, a black sink, vanity or bathtub, go for black grout to make your tiles stand out or go for black edges everywhere highlighting your color scheme with a more dramatic tone. If it’s a kitchen, it can be a black appliance, a black sink, a backsplash or even an accent wall. The latter fits actually any room and space – accent walls are always on, and a black one will add depth to the space. Bedrooms and living rooms can be accented with black furniture items, artworks and textiles, which are easy to swap as soon as you get tired of them. Get inspired!
