Paint It, Paint it Black

If you’re like me and love the look of deep, dark black and gray walls and wallcoverings but are afraid to make the dark wall plunge, here’s another consideration: paint it black!  “It” being of course cabinets, bookcases, built-ins, whatever furniture you may have that you feel comfortable painting.  Painting or purchasing cabinets or furniture in black, charcoal gray, deep plum or navy can be a fantastic way to get that warm, toasty look without actually committing to a full dark wall color.  I love how these dark shelves and fixtures cozy up a space, but without the major drama of a full wall.  And obviously any kind of white (like the subway tile in the first pic) is a fabulous contrast with crisp black gloss and shiny brass fixtures.

Going into Fall I always start getting that cozy nesting vibe, and this is a way to fulfill that instinct without the huge commitment!

This most fabulous shot at the top (with the subway tile I mentioned that makes such an amazing contrast) is by the ever-so-talented Jana Roach, do yourself a favor and give her a follow over on insta for some really amazing talent!
