Black And Tan Living Room

Black And Tan Living Room

Many people either buy black living room furniture by default or avoid it entirely because they fear it will make their living room look too dark and gloomy. The latter attitude is basically unnecessary if you consider that there are many steps that can be taken to ensure this doesn't happen, because while a room that is predominantly black can indeed look gloomy, strategically using contrasting colors with the black will offset this effect in most cases. As black furniture can look elegant, sophisticated, and attractive, it would be a shame to not get it for your living room because of unwarranted fears.

The key to making good use of black furniture is to carefully pick out what will go with it. For those with light colored floors in the room, this may be enough to brighten the room and highlight the darker furniture. Even those with dark colored floors can achieve this effect relatively painlessly through the use of light colored accent rugs. Light and neutral colored walls may also be enough to make use of black furniture as is, and darker walls might be okay if you make use of lighter colored tapestries, wall hangings, and decor.
