Not only the dimensions of the room are taken into account, but also its light level.
- The only thing you probably shouldn’t do is decorate the ceiling black. This option will cause negative emotions, a feeling that the ceiling is pressing and hanging over your head, thereby causing anxiety. Particularly impressionable people may experience panic attacks and suffocation. So it’s worth thinking carefully about how relevant this solution is for the bedroom.
An insufficiently lit space in black colors will look too gloomy.

Curtains for the bedroom in black tones
It is logical that dark curtains are well suited for this type of bedroom. Although you can refuse them altogether, leaving only white or black translucent tulle.
Rich black curtains will also look beautiful.
Choose curtains based on the overall style of the bedroom. These can be plain linen curtains, silk or decorative thread curtains. If the bed has a canopy, then the curtains should match it in one way or another.
Textile
For sophisticated bedrooms in dark colors, only black or white bed linen is suitable. Silk sheets and pillows will look great.
The bedspread can be light or dark, or colored, but monochromatic. An unobtrusive decorative pattern dictated by the chosen style is allowed. You can also use a combination of black with another selected color.
There are usually only two pillows in a strictly decorated room, with a maximum of four. They should be the same color as the bed linen. If the interior accepts a little play, then more pillows are added, and they may already be in a shade of a companion color or with patterns.

The lower tier of the walls can be decorated in the form of dark wood panels, and the upper part of the wall can be covered with black wallpaper with a textured gold pattern.

Bedroom interior design: which styles go well with black

How to properly organize lighting
Lighting in a sleeping room with black color plays an important role. In such a bedroom there should be an order of magnitude more lighting points than in any other interior.
Depending on the additional colors used, warm or cool lighting can be used.
The design of a strict black bedroom dictates the use of several light sources of different strengths, rather than one chandelier shining in a single mode in the center of the room.
Lighting
What can be applied:
- spot ceiling lights;
- LED strip lighting;
- bedside sconces;
- floor lamps;
- pendant lamps;
Additionally, you need to take care of LED lighting. It should be laid along the entire perimeter of the ceiling or over one wall. If there are niches or shelves, then they can also be illuminated. The bedside area must be illuminated with sconces or floor lamps.
Daylight
Of course, the window should be large, and preferably located on the sunny side. This is especially important if the bedroom has a black ceiling and flooring. Otherwise, the bedroom will look gloomy during the daytime.
How to create the perfect black bedroom interior
The main thing is to maintain a sense of proportion and not to overdo it with dark shades, think carefully about lighting and bright decorative elements. When using two colors in the interior, it is wise to make accents with large spatial blocks, when the white walls and bed are one block, the black parquet floor is another.
Gray-black design sometimes looks boring and dull, so it is diluted with contrasting or light colors.
Proof that black is not gloomy: you can use a suspended black glossy ceiling in tandem with a white floor. The reflection of the white floor on the ceiling will look like a huge window with a powerful stream of flowing light.
The black color in the bedroom is unusual and allows you to turn it into a mysterious corner for sleeping.
How to choose furniture
The choice of furniture directly depends on the overall stylistic design of the room.
You should pay attention to:
- style of furniture;
- color;
- shape;
- insertions or lack thereof;
- Compliance of dimensions with the size of the bedroom.
It is not necessary that in a room with dark walls, pieces of furniture should also be black. Perhaps light or gray furniture will fit organically.
Common additions for a black bedroom in any style and color combinations
- If it is necessary to create a feeling of airiness and spaciousness, white is used as a basis, and individual elements will be black. This classic combination will suit any style. White enhances natural light, while black backgrounds enhance accents.
