Hello friends, I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather. Not sure if I’m ready for the heat and humidity that’s fast approaching the island. I’m curious to see how it’s going to compare to summers back home in Alabama.
My last home decor post was about white walls and bold accents, this week let’s look at bold walls and neutral accents. This, I must admit is a bit more intimidating, but the end result can make such a beautiful, bold statement. Black is also a timeless, elegant color, giving a room a more formal feel. Depending on the size of the room or amount of light, an accent wall may be all you need, as seen in a few of the pictures below. But if you have a large room with a lot of natural light, dark walls can make the room look and feel cozy.

I hope you’ve enjoyed checking out a few of my favorite dark rooms and seeing what an impact color can make. Though very different from the white walls, it’s equally beautiful and even more dramatic.
