Black never goes out of style.
The little black dress, popularized by Coco Channel, who featured the staple in Vogue magazine nearly 80 years ago, will never not be a part of your wardrobe. It is the one dress every woman knows she looks good in. The color black is just as timeless when used in home decor and has stood the test of time from the English Renaisance all the way to the home theater generation.
How do you decorate? Do you want something popular, trendy, or classical. A little black might transform the room. It can take a room from country chic to super modern in no time. Black is bold and accents any color. Colors on top of, beside, or even near it pop out and catch the eye. Black represents drama and royalty. It represents all things chic. More than any of these things, black represents a million uses for what we wear and how we decorate our homes. If technology and home theater had a favorite color, it would be black.
Some people are less bold, preferring to experiment with the small elements of a room with the use of black in fabric, furniture, or accessories. Some are more bold, opting for black walls with white, pink, or blue trim. The truly bold use neon colors to accent large black pieces.
Black is a grounding color great for breaking up patterns. Black also adds weight to a room that might otherwise come of as too light or even garish because of the color choices. It gives your eyes a break.
How you use black in your home will depend on your taste. A splash of black on an accent wall will give a room a chic look. Maybe the black you use is in the baby grand in your foyer to offset the cream colored walls and stark molding. Maybe you have your fine art framed in black wood to accent the deep, rich colors. You can never go wrong framing out something in black.
