Dark Interior Inspiration – Black Walls

December 3, 2019
  • Share

Lately, I’ve been seeing dark interiors with black walls or super dark grey walls everywhere so today is all about dark interior inspiration. You would think dark interiors would be overwhelming and make the space feel super small and harsh. I have found it to be the opposite. When black walls or dark interiors are done correctly the rooms feel cozy, warm, and chic. Get ready for a collection of images that are going to convince you to paint all of your walls black.

First up is a stunning kitchen basking in the sunlight. The black walls and cabinets are a lot but the pops of white and other colors keep it from being overwhelming. I love that the rust orange apron and floral arrangement add a subtle amount of color. The white countertops and white top tables are really what make this space amazing in contrast to the dark walls.

This dark wall paneling is super chic and balances well with the industrial details of the bedframe. The bedding is layered beautifully with multiple dark tones. The addition of the plant, lamp, and small bedside table really adds the perfect dash of brightness to the space.

Next up is a magical looking bathroom. The dark teal walls are highlighted by the gold mirror, the light fixture, and the pops of white. This space looks very romantic and chic. The stone sink in a light grey is a beautiful touch to this powder room.

This dark interior combines a variety of styles with ease. The dark teal wall color is illuminated by the large light fixture. The detail on the molding/ceiling is incredible! The marble fireplace, rug, and table add just the right amount of white while the velvet chair and floral arrangement add a rush of color.

These dark blue walls add the perfect drama to this dinner table. The super high ceiling keeps this room from feeling cramped and the light fixture provides a unique detail. The warm-toned flooring and dining room table set give the perfect touch of color to the room. The candlesticks add some drama to the room.

This kitchen combines the warm and dark cozy feeling with a touch of rusticness thanks to the wood countertops. The pops of white on the window and sink add a nice rush of lightness. The other kitchen accessories add a nice casualness to the room. The knives are hung up like artwork diagonally from a portrait.

Next up is a sitting area that takes a more traditional approach to interiors with dark walls. The paint added to the ceiling adds a sense of drama while the taupe rug adds a slight lightness. The chair is a very interesting mix of cheetah print and traditional furniture design. The floral arrangement adds a gorgeous focal point to the space.

Another take on a dark walled bathroom takes a bit of a different approach. The dark tile walls add a bit of a stark feeling. The gold accents and warm lighting keep this room from being too harsh and industrial. They found a great line in between. The square sink adds a nice shape to the room.

This space is from a cozy cabin. The dark walls take on a wood paneling approach and hone in on the cozy feeling. The see-through wall is a great addition to break the space up and create an intimate sitting area. I love that the dark walls continue to a dark high ceiling. For a dark interior – this space feels anything but cramped.

Last up is a living room corner that takes a beautiful approach to a dark wall interior. The combo of black, white, and wood is balanced perfectly. The bright room in the background also keeps the dark walls from being overwhelming. The black-framed doorway is a stunning detail.

I love discovering covered secret passages while w I love discovering covered secret passages while wandering around Paris. They were introduced in the 19th century and designed to serve as shopping arcades. Many have been demolished over time. Only a few are still standing. 

P.S. I’m sharing the best hotels and rentals to stay at in Paris. Go to my blog to see my list.
