Tip of the Day Tuesday/ Grounding a Room with Black


We can all agree the all black look is a chic and easy staple in the fashion world but where does that leave interiors? Is black just as chic when used in a room? The Age of design team thinks so! Here’s how to pull it all together and add a little black to your space for that chic yet easy look!


Black trim: If you’re looking to add a sophisticated POP to you space try painting baseboards, trim and doors in a gloss black. Our pick is Benjamin Moore 2132-10.



Black Furniture Pieces: Incorporate furniture pieces like a side table or dinning table. Keep in mind that black needs to be balance by contrast. When adding a larger black item into your room space bring in smaller black pieces to keep it balanced.

Black accessories: If you’re just getting used to the idea of black in your space, try something non-committal like a striped pillow or throw blanket. These are two of our favorites!



Designer Tip: Balance is key when using black in an interior. Make sure to use plenty of white to soften the look or a pop of colour to add contrast and excitement.
