There is a new trend slowly gaining traction; gothic style decor that utilizes various shades of black, from matte to glossy: it is certainly a bold plunge into the dark side, which has little to do with gloom.

A black marble kitchen, a black marble bathroom, or a dark bedroom are elegant and chic, always remaining sophisticated. This non-color can often be seen as an aggressive choice, but just take a look on Pinterest to see the huge success it is having.

Opposites attract

Indeed, the allure of gothic dark decor often arises from how this color “captures” shadow when paired with contrasting colors: black sinks on contrasting surfaces appear ultra-sleek. Remember, opposites attract.

Choose your shade

Not all blacks are created equal on this earth, and this plays an important role in the finished product depending on the natural light filtering in, the surrounding spaces, and your personal taste. We recommend gathering some samples of different black materials and tones and comparing them: only then can you identify the one most suitable for your style.

Mix and Match

If you dream of a kitchen made of midnight hues, study and seek advice on the various materials available to you. You don’t have to limit yourself to achieving this look solely through wall paint. A black floor is an extraordinary way to add depth and visual intrigue: the secret to making a total black environment truly interesting lies in layering various textures.

Opt for natural elements

If you decide to choose black as the leitmotif of your home, our advice is to warm it up. Pair it with wooden accessories and white surfaces: use these complementary tones on walls or on a kitchen island, for example.

Marble? A great idea

A dreamy material that can easily complete this trend is black marble. It is incredibly easy to clean and alone gives you a sense of opulence and longevity.

Do not fear black, it is a color not only timeless but truly sophisticated: we love it.
