trend: black interiors

published November 25, 2008 in inspiration interiors trends |

A few days ago I posted about a trend inspired by rural life. Another trend that can be seen this season is the use of black in interiors.

The classic combination of black and white can be combined with a accent color.

The images above, from the portfolio of UK designer Ilse Crawford, show a lot of black furniture and walls.

Black is not a color that first comes to mind when you are looking for a color for your kitchen walls but I think the black wall looks surprisingly good in this kitchen.

This black bathroom is very chic!

And also this bedroom looks very good in black.

I find it quite interesting to have a black kitchen, i think it works well with all WHITE cabinets though.

Black always has a very sleek and luxurious appearance. Absolutely love the yellow accents on the table and in the bathroom. Very nice.

Black can either be sophisticated and sexy or cheap and bachelor padish.
