Dark interiors - what should be kept in mind when deciding on such an arrangement?

19 of August '22

Interiors in dark colors are certainly not to everyone's liking. Especially small spaces seem to be doomed to light colors. However, dark arrangements are sometimes very cozy and have their supporters. How to create such an interior to make it beautiful and functional at the same time?

Many modern interiors rely on dark tones. However, this is a challenge that requires an extremely skillful combination of colors and textures. To ensure that the interior does not look too gloomy and dreary, many elements should be taken into account, such as the colors of the walls, floors and doors. The basic issue is also the light, which in a dark interior will be largely absorbed. The selection and placement of lamps will therefore be a challenge here.

Light interiors naturally expand the room and thus appear more spacious. Not in every type of room is this effect desirable. For example, a bedroom is a place where a sense of coziness is much more important than spaciousness. A subdued color scheme will therefore perfectly support the climate of sleep and rest.

With dark colors we can also effectively hide the imperfections of the space and expose its advantages. For example, if we paint both the walls and the ceiling in the same color, we will optically lose the boundaries, making the room appear slightly larger. Tonality is also important - a slightly cool shade will also affect the feeling of more space. Covering selected walls with dark colors, on the other hand, will create an atmosphere of warmth and coziness in the interior.

A very important aspect is the illumination of dark arrangements. There should be plenty of light sources to minimize the feeling of being overwhelmed and to give the interior elegance.

Elegance is the biggest advantage of dark interiors. We can achieve timeless chic by designing surfaces in shades of bottle green, deep purple, gray or black. These are suggestions that will be used both in glamour-style interiors and in post-industrial arrangements. Dark, intense colors will perfectly highlight metal or glass accessories. Also in combination with wooden elements they will blend perfectly.
