my favorite black paints

One of my personal design "rules" when creating a space is that every room needs something black. Do you agree? I have been a long time lover of the color and leading industry designers are using it everywhere to create drama and moody interiors. I use to make fun of my Mom for always wearing black growing up and now I find myself gravitating towards the color in my wardrobe, my interior designs and my home. (Sorry Mom.)


Here is why.


I think it doesn't get more classy than black.


It grounds a space.


You can use black to create drama, interest and contrast in a room.


It can break up a monochromatic or colorful space to neutralize it a bit and add a cohesiveness.


In our last home we decided to paint our tiny kitchen cabinets black and it was probably the best decision we made. It also sold that house in my opinion.
