Black walls for small spaces decor idea

Black walls for small spaces decor idea

There is a myth in decoration, which I believe, which says that dark colors do not fit into tight spaces . The white walls, in contrast, tend to give the illusion of increased space, but the darker shades can create their own magic in those places.

There is no doubt that white walls are effective in increasing the volume of a room, especially in high ceilings, wood floors and furniture line, and spaces with lots of natural light . However, in rooms with low ceilings, paint the walls white is not a good option.


The alternative is, when it comes to small rooms, the color black, as it incorporates very well. The spaces that lack architectural character, like a toilet, can have a rather dramatic style. A dark color provides an elegant backdrop that allows insertion of accessories as you see fit.

But not all colors work equally dark. Your best bet will always be black, charcoal, navy, deep brown. While dark red, green or medium blue can make the room seem even smaller.


Dark colors can work well, although you should always add a significant amount of white on the furniture, clothing and other decorations, to balance its general appearance, and maintain a dark room without making it look or feel too dark.

On the site PureStyleHome can see excellent examples like “before and after” in various rooms where the black imposed his style versus conventional colors.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
