Black color is considered to be unnecessary for the interior.

The thing is that a dark wall does not contribute to the visual expansion of space. Quite the opposite.

In addition, black color darkens the room, depriving it of coziness.

However, Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design for the online publication BelNovosti, still does not recommend completely abandoning dark details.

The thing is that the interior still needs black. However, it is important not to overdo it.

How to use black color in the interior

There shouldn't be too much of this color in the room. Otherwise, the space will start to seem narrow, cramped and uncomfortable.

It is worth limiting yourself to using only a few small dark details. For example, small figurines.

In other words, black should act as an accent color.

If this condition is met, the shade will not "eat up" the space. On the contrary, it will help create a sense of volume. In addition, the room will look stylish.

Earlier, the expert shared an interesting design trick : just rehang the paintings and the room will visually appear larger.
