Simple Styling Tips for Dark Walls:
- Choose your look: If you like a playful bright setting, opt for bright, vibrant decor pieces to infuse your space with energy and create a playful contrast against dark wall colours or layer with neutral colours, for a natural comfortable space, you can go either way as the dark wall gives leeway to play around with different colours.
- High Contrast: Add light or bold accents like white, gold, or vibrant decor to create a sense of drama and impact.
- Low Contrast: On the other hand, layering your décor with other darker neutrals and some lighter items will create a softer balanced look.
- Texture Is Key: Layer different materials (like velvet, wood, and metal) for added visual interest.
- Greenery: you can add flowers or plants, they look fantastic against dark walls, bringing a fresh, lively contrast.
- Pairs of three and repetition: of colour, pattern, theme or shapes: For some reason pairing décor items in three’s, at different heights and shapes work well, but also strive to create a thread that pulls everything together, this is usually done with repetition of a theme, shape, patterns and or colours.
- Lighting: Warm lighting creates a sense of intimacy and brighter neutral to cooler light sources add a sense of vibrancy and energy to the space.
