While the trend has been to lighten up spaces with neutral or white walls, there are some good reasons to consider dark walls for your decor.
1. Dark walls provide a great contrast against lighter furniture and accessories, giving a space more depth!
2. Dark walls allow bright colors to pop. Brighter tones take on more energy and become more vibrant.

3. Dark walls can make a space feel cozier and more intimate. Darker shades are perfect for a dining rooms.
4. Dark walls in adjacent spaces actually make the room or space recede and appear larger!
5. Dark walls, especially with a high gloss finish are ideal for rooms where lots of metallic and shiny finishes are used. The entire space takes on a heightened sense of elegance!
I’m a fan of dark walls, how about you?
I love the look of a black, glossy wall and so many people I know are scared of a dark color on the wall commitment. Nice post!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Nice post. We have painted all our walls in our house darker shades and absolutely love the effect it provides. Everything feels warmer and more cozy. Plus it makes are art, furniture, etc. even more beautiful!
