1. BLURRED SEAMS

Quite contrary to our design beliefs, deep colors blur the edges/corners of space, making the room appear seamless and large. One creative idea is to use wallpaper or a mural that transfers from one wall to another. So that the color of the wall behaves as a neutral and design becomes the primary focus.

“The edges, boundaries of a room are disguished by the matte black finish, making the space appear and feel larger than it really is.”

2. ADD MULTIPLE ACCENTS
Take the plunge, cover your room with black hues and to make it appear as a neutral canvas, add different interests in the space just like a bright upholstered chair or a trendy pendant light or colorful throw pillows. Color often tricks the eyes to make the room look larger and to have multiple dimensions. By adding right colors in the right amount will actually help to focus on the forefront, allowing the walls to disappear, acting neutrally as a backdrop.

3. LET WALLS DO THE TALKING
No hiding behind, this tip is about showing confidence about your bold choices and using the coal colors for the making of statement walls. Painting wall with black is an irreversible action, when accentuated with striking textures or metallic gold stylish shimmer turn out to be a big success.

 “Metallic gold tones when set against deep-tone backdrops, partnered with rich jewel tones and shadowy neutrals allow their sparkle to shine well.”

4. USE ARTISTIC LIGHTING FIXTURES
