Dark (mainly black) walls have been tearing up my Pinterst boards lately. I think I might be mildly obsessed by them – they are sophisticated, dramatic and just downright fabulous. I know it’s something that gets banded around the blogosphere quite often but I just couldn’t resist immortalising my favourites on Wishful Thinking. As I put this post together, I asked my husband what he thought (men have a funny way of cutting through design trend crap and simplifying things) and I got a wrinkled nose and a “don’t even think about it look” but after scrolling through some examples I could see that not even he was immune.
Would you?
I've been drawn to black walls too. There is something so chic about black walls. =)
ReplyDeleteI never considered it before but when I saw New York Architect, Winka Dubbeldam's house in Elle Decor, I began to appreciate black walls. And having seen the beautiful interiors you've posted- Yes, I would love to have at least one room in my dream home with a black wall.
ReplyDeleteI love the dark too! I'm trying to convince my husband to let me do at least one wall dark. He thinks it looks like a cave, but I think it's elegant!
ReplyDeleteI love dark walls too. Have you seen the very dark navy as well? Love those too! I feel like it would be a bit hard to pull off, and it would have to be in the right sort of room, but it looks so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these. I had a dark brown wall once that I loved. I think my fave here is the black walls in the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteLoving the black walls. So elegant and pretty!
ReplyDeleteyes. i have a plan for a study with one black wall, so i love this inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWell, considering that my favorite combo is black & white, these appeal to me quite a bit. I have to say that as a photographer, I really love how the photographer/s have been able to bring out the shadows of the richness without compromising the highlights. Impressive! Pretty much eye candy for me in both the design and photography over here :-)
ReplyDeleteBig big fan of dark walls but in my own home I have only gone dark in the smallest rooms. Probably out of fear that I have to repaint ;) Thinking about painting our doors black though...
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about black is that my fav pops of colour look amazing against it. I would definitely use it in my home, but maybe just one wall :) x
ReplyDeleteThat first bathroom with the subway tile is SO what I wish my mom would let me to do her powder room but she has the same opinion about it as your husband - boo!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I would be brave enough. But boy do I love this look!
