The Dark Interior

One of the most common misconceptions in the field of interior design is the notion of metaphysical darkness and black.
We would like to point out that black is the perfect backdrop for almost every subject. In confirmation of our words think about the windows of jewelry stores. Like the ornate, the “diamonds” turn even the most unassuming and simple items placed against the black walls. In this dark interior, with its contrasting black walls perfectly accentuate the contours of objects, making them complete, raising to the level of art encased in a frame. In such a dark interior on a black every detail of the situation takes on special significance and meaning: tables, beds, chairs, sofas become more self-valuable and significant.

It is known that the black walls add elegance and solemnity of the interior, but the black floor in a dark interior makes all the space around a more transparent and easier. If this ceiling and the walls are white, the black floor looks like a bottomless lake beneath his feet, increasing the height of the room visually. Thanks to two diametrically opposed colors differently treated surfaces repel each other, resulting in a light walls dissolve and float above the dark interior of the floor. This contrast creates a feeling of vastness and airy space. In this black floor, focusing on the lower level rooms, composition organizes its individual parts. Furniture, even chaotically arranged around the room, thanks to the visual magnetism of the black floor standing safely on the ground. Any arbitrary rotation chair is seen as a carefully considered move.

If, in speaking of a dark interior, keep in mind is not a black floor, which plays and highlights the single isolated objects, and imply a black ceiling, the situation is quite different. Black ceiling by consolidating disparate objects, plays a liaison role. Taking foundation of the dark interior  black ceiling, we are able to link the elements of the situation almost any style, color and size – so black ceiling is strong and expressive in their decorative properties. It is noteworthy that in the room, this item becomes dominant, it keeps the interior, pushes all the other components on the secondary plan. Thus, neither their number nor their shapes are not capable of destroying the integrity of the composition.

Black object, even if it is among the colored or bright fellow is all alone, at once attracts attention. Using this time, you will always be easy to place in the dark interior of the necessary emphasis. Black object is always the main character of the interior, it is able to set the mood and tone of the entire space. In addition, items in black are highlighted sculptural forms, making them more visible and attractive, turns out the total visual system. Because of this black interior elements valued by people who have a refined aesthetic taste.

If black is used in a dark interior, on its background of other colors “will be heard” is particularly expressive and bright. Speaking as an equal partner in a duet with a different intensity of color, black models every time a completely new situation in which appears quite different. For example, in conjunction with elements of gold, it becomes surprisingly calm and regal. When added to the black-green light, it seems cool and fresh. On its background (in a dark interior) very interesting is looking big colorful patterns, and various oriental motifs.
