Every Space Needs A Touch Of Black

HOME STYLING TIPS

Every Space Needs A Touch of Black

One home design tip that I heard years ago was that every space needs a touch of black. It can be as simple and small as the frames you use to display family photos, or it can be a large statement piece of furniture. There’s something that holds true about this tip, and it has proven to be a beautiful reflection point in our home.

Yes, of course, black is a neutral that can tie other elements, colors, and pieces together; However, it provides so much more to a space than we think. Black accents provide depth, dimension, and contrast that elevate a space. We often see in homes a lot of soft whites, muted taupes and neutrals, and it’s a beautiful palette, but it can fall flat. By adding black accents, small or large, you’re creating a grounding element that truly anchors a space and makes it feel more meaningful and sophisticated.

Over the last few years we have seen grey and brown tones come and go, but black accents are pieces that will stand the test of time. They create focal points throughout a room, provide a polished look, and ultimately add the dimension that we all love in higher-end spaces. So here is your reminder—don’t forget to add the black accents. You can make a statement with larger furniture items, or go as simple a vase or the stripe in a rug!
