I love color, I really do. I adore powder blues and pale yellows and minty greens and various other shades. My home is filled to the brim with color and I love it that way. But truth-be-told, I am madly in love with black. It's a color (or lack thereof) that I fill my wardrobe with and paint my eyelids with and really, really love to see in other people's homes. In my opinion, it just adds a certain coolness to a home. How do you feel about black in interiors?

love this series, especially the little dots of colour added to the black.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. I especially love an arresting pop of color against a black backdrop- magenta or canary yellow! Warm wood also makes me swoon.
ReplyDeleteInspiring series of photos.
i just finished a post about black and white rooms. then i came across your's. funny how people can think alike. anyway, i like how you added color to your images! very nice!
ReplyDeleteooooo i love this!
ReplyDeletemore than i thought i would.
i usually am more of a fan of color, but this is beautiful.
at first sight I would say black for interiors is too cold or too dark (hum) but after seeing your selection of pictures I actually think that if it's well arranged, that is to say in small touch and well combined with light colors, it can be really great! thanks for sharing and make my point of view evolving ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese interiors are lovely. I especially like the yellow headboard against the black wall! And the one with the yellow dining room chairs on the black floor. I think yellow and black go really well together, apparently!
ReplyDeleteThe shot with the kid in the dark room kind of depresses me, though. I don't think I'd want such a somber place for my own kids, were I to have some...

Love the images with just a touch of color... seems like you'd appreciate those little moments a lot if the rest was black and white...
ReplyDeletei've grown very fond of black interiors lately too...starting w/ jenna lyons home in domino last year. lovely...
ReplyDeleteI dream of living in a space with enough natural light that I COULD use black. I love it in these amazing photos, but I'm not sure I would ever use it myself. I much prefer deep browns or purples, that pretend they are black until you open the curtains.
