Dark Home Decor

Dark Home Decor For Dark Interiors

Dark interiors is a topic that can split the nation, perhaps you love it? Perhaps you don’t? Perhaps, you hated it last week, but now you’re on the fence?

Let us talk you through some schemes to include, dark wall accessories, dark room layouts, black home decor and some favourite styled photos!

Painting your walls a dark colour such as black is no half measure, luckily there are lots of paint visualising apps available on the market that can help you foresee what the room will look like before you spend any money on materials. It doesn’t always have to feel dark in a room with dark walls, see the images below where a dark wall has been combined amongst a much lighter setting and light walls, the over-all feeling being spacious and airy. Lovely!

DARK WALLPAPER

Moving one step on from painting your walls dark - dark wallpapers - there is an abundance of styles available on the internet in the form of dark home wallpapers. Whether you want something minimal, such as the Anthracite Black Panelling Wallpaper or a medium pattern design, such as the Black and Gold Marble Fragment Wallpaper or a heavily patterned dark wallpaper design such as the Black Geometric Damask Wallpaper - there are enough variations out there that even those of you that are on the fence with dark decor in the homes will be swayed…

BLACK HOME DECOR

A soft start to going dark...try out some dark home accessories mixed within a lighter setting to get that edgy-dark look within the space. Create a unique feel with the Black Owl Sculpture, or keep things chic with the Ceramic French Bulldog in matt black.

DARK LIGHTING

Mostly for decorative use rather than practical, but a warm glow within a dark glass is the king of ambience! The ever popular King Edison range available at Mineheart includes a great example of this with the Ghost variation - the angelic little chandelier inside the smokey black glass bulb creates a warming and artistic lighting feature.

DARK RUGS

A luxurious touch to any room, no matter what size and style you go for. A deep tufted rug is great for creating a cosy feeling, even to the largest of rooms - such as the Black Kashan rug at Mineheart.

Rugs can make great wall decor too! See above, Mineheart's Japanese Repose Rug being used as a wall hanging. Using rugs as wall art is a great way to add some depth and texture to your interior walls, don't just look for "wall rugs" - any rug can be used, providing it is sufficiently supports and looks the part!

Dark wall decor is a great personal touch to a room. Whether you are look for a whole peice that is dark, or just an art design with dark elements, such as a dark frame - Mineheart has a wide array of art print styles to fit what you are looking for.
