When it comes to clothing, the colour black is always in fashion. Timeless, glamorous and elegant, you only have to picture Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's to appreciate why black has such everlasting appeal. But with interiors, it seems to be a different story. Rather than be celebrated in the home, as it is in fashion, black seems to be confined behind the closed doors of our wardrobes. Which got us thinking...why is it we don't hesitate about dressing head-to-toe in black, but when it comes to decorating our homes, black rarely, if ever, gets a look in? So, with Halloween on the horizon, we thought we'd take a long hard look at the use of black in interior design, to decide once and for all if this gothic staple is oh so chic, or just plain scary!
Black dining tables instantly evoke gothic glamour
Black and white together are a classic and timeless pairing
Black furniture appears camouflaged against black walls
Black chalkboard paint makes a fun feature wall
Black makes bright colour pops stand out
Black block colours make a bold statement
Black walls are a great canvas for graphic prints
