Apartment Decorating Ideas – Fresh Black Accents

May 11, 2015

Apartment Decorating Ideas Living Room Fireplace in Black

Apartment decorating ideas today!  Can the color black be refreshing and light?  I would say yes.  Check out this apartment with its fresh black accents contrasting against white walls.  It works.

The black living room and bedroom fireplaces, the window trim and the kitchen cabinets are all bold statements…they for some reason do not overpower the space and make it dark.

The key here is surrounding the bold black accents with lots of white and simple decor.

P.S. Sorry I didn’t post over the last few days…I was traveling to the east coast for TE’s son’s graduation.  We had such a nice time watching JE graduate.  What a wonderful experience!  Really nice.

P.P.S.  When we went out to Malibu yesterday after we got back from our trip, to check out the progress of our Malibu home renovation.  It is coming a long…slowly but surely….I will share an update this week.

A little mix of polished and casual. Loving the coA little mix of polished and casual. Loving the contrast of pleated denim, off-white boots, and a funnel-neck bomber layered over a classic black turtleneck. An easy outfit with just the right amount of edge. ♥️
Perfect for Paris days when the weather calls for layers and you still want to look put together.

Seven laundry rooms that make the chore feel like Seven laundry rooms that make the chore feel like a treat. 🧺
The secret is simple: choose a cabinet color you love, add a floor with some pattern, and keep storage hidden or tucked into baskets. Light or dark, each of these rooms proves a hardworking space can still feel warm and personal.

Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every roo Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every room of the Grove Townhouse by Bunsa Studio. Paneled oak built-ins frame the living room, herringbone floors run into a kitchen with a marble backsplash and caned counter stools, and the terrace kitchen pairs a fluted island with terracotta tile. In the primary bath, a skylight opens over a travertine shower with twin brass rain heads, while a sculptural marble sink anchors the powder room and a paper lantern softens the kids’ room.
Which room is your favorite? Vote below 👇
Save this for your warm-minimal inspiration.

From an empty room to a cozy, layered living spaceFrom an empty room to a cozy, layered living space. 🤎
A little vision, a few thoughtful design choices, and the right textiles can completely change the feel of a room.
For this living room concept, we brought in the COCOCOZY Kip Rug to anchor the space and the COCOCOZY Quatrefoil Linen Pillows to add pattern, texture, and a touch of timeless charm.
We love how the warm caramel sofa, olive green accents, natural wood, and brass details come together to create a space that feels both inviting and elevated.
This is a room concept, imagined to showcase how COCOCOZY textiles and details can transform a space.
What do you think of the transformation? Would you live here? 🤎
