A black bedroom - many will find this idea strange and generally not acceptable for their own home. Many people do not have the brightest associations with this color; a dark color is considered more disharmonious and depressing than suitable for interior design, especially in its pure form and in large quantities.
But a living room or a kitchen is one thing, and quite another when it comes to the design of a bedroom. It is much easier to fall into a deep, sound sleep when the room is calm and dark. Even nature has a habit of sleeping in the dark. Therefore, black color in the bedroom interior will contribute well to this. But nevertheless, not everyone is able to decide on such a situation.
Of all of them, he is the most spectacular and powerful. It’s not for nothing that contrast is built with it, because it can outshine other colors. Designers recommend not to completely disown it. With this use, the bedroom design becomes calm, elegant and luxurious.
For which styles is black acceptable?
Black color is used to one degree or another in all interior design styles and this applies not only to the bedroom. Many styles, of course, can do without it. But there are also those that will lose all their charm if black is not included in the design. Despite the fact that in our country it is considered not a positive color, but on the contrary, it is the color of mourning. People who want to apply global fashion trends in their lives are gradually starting to take a closer look at it.
Interior design trendsetters have been using black quite often lately. For example, its followers are Armni and Cavalli
Noir
It was this direction that the interior fashion trendsetters described above gave preference to at recent design exhibitions. And the whole point is that it is noir that conveys such moods as:
- Luxury
- Pomposity
- Majesty
- Chic
Noir emerged from American black and white cinema in the 50s. Its peculiarity and effect is that it literally radiates fatalism and, at first glance, there is no positivity in it.
But as for the interior, the negative of black is often diluted with gold, white, lilac, silver, red, gray bedroom colors and others. It is worth noting that in this design direction black can be present up to 80-90%, which, you will agree, is quite a lot. But don't forget that we are talking about the bedroom.
Neo-Baroque
It is characterized by the use of non-classical, ultra-modern materials: glass, plastic, leather, modern expensive fabrics. Therefore, graceful shapes, smooth lines, glossy surfaces with bright, attractive details can be used in the bedroom interior. And all this is clearly intertwined with black. The design of a black bedroom, the photos below demonstrate this well
In addition to the bedroom interior, rich natural materials are used: expensive wood, stones - marble, travertine. At the same time, there are often plastic elements very close to them. The interior is constructed in such a way that high prices and ultra-modern materials are in perfect harmony.
Gothic
A bedroom in Gothic design, and even in black, will definitely not leave indifferent connoisseurs of medieval mystical stories and lovers of American fairy tales. Gothic combines mystery with aristocratic, refined grandeur. This is partly realized thanks to the large amount of black color. On the other hand, the bedroom uses no less luxurious and majestic paraphernalia: furniture, stained glass. Gothic “loves” large spaces and equally sized windows. This partly explains its majesty, and also compensates for the black colors chosen for the interior. A photo of a bedroom in black of a similar design demonstrates this.
Finishing nuances
A charcoal-colored interior is beautiful, but staying in a gloomy room for a long time will quickly get boring and your mood will begin to deteriorate. This means you need to take care of good lighting.
It would be a good idea to combine light sources so that there are several options to choose from.
Another important point is the finishing of the floor. A large sleeping area will accept a darkened floor.
A small bedroom will require a lighter solution. A glossy floor, either light or dark, will also look beautiful.
A black ceiling in a modern bedroom is quite acceptable. For large rooms, a matte finish is suitable, and for smaller ones, gloss.
Mirrors also look very impressive in this interior.
When choosing patterned wallpaper, give preference to a small-sized geometric pattern or a stencil design. Black color dictates some severity.
You should not decorate the walls, floor and ceiling completely in charcoal color, as this will make the room very boring and uninteresting. Dilute the atmosphere with a light wall or curtain, or use different depths of tone.

What to do with black in the bedroom
Depending on what goals are being pursued, black can be wallpaper, floors, some individual parts of the walls or furniture.
A bedroom that is small in size will hardly tolerate black walls. In this case, the perimeter needs to be light. This will not visually restrict the bedroom design.
For interior styles in which black is the main theme, wallpaper, paint, flooring and even the ceiling can be used. But there must also be details that stand out against the dark background. This is the only way to emphasize its majesty and luxury. Otherwise, the interior will simply be gloomy.
Against a black background, paintings in carved golden frames on the walls and panels of colored paints look great. White carved or with gold elements furniture, bright eye-catching figurines, vases and other decorative details. Light or bright carpet on the floor. Mirror details look extremely impressive. This could be a floor mirror or a fashionable chest of drawers and bedside tables with a mirror finish.
Abstract elements made of plasterboard, both on the ceiling and on the walls, can also become black in a bedroom design. They look especially impressive with LED lighting, as in the photo of the black bedroom below.
Sorcerer's room
Outlandish decor and magical elements will emphasize the mystery of the bedroom. To make the room at least somewhat reminiscent of a relaxation room, artificial lights are created in it using lighting fixtures.
Choose materials for decoration in a neutral tone without images; in the future they will serve as a background for design details.
Let the bed be made of black wood, put fur on the floor, but only natural one. Add crystal or glass accents to your decor.
Furniture
Should I buy a black bed, a straight or corner wardrobe and bedside tables for the bedroom? The question greatly depends on what will surround them. In black interiors, light-colored furniture becomes the accent and vice versa. Light walls - black furniture. Such furniture in the bedroom is relevant if the walls need to be made in a light or just white color.
Depending on the bedroom design style, furniture is selected not only in black and white colors, but also in others that harmoniously complement the space. The main rule is that it should be different from the walls and floor in color. Furniture is a good element with which it is easy to create the necessary contrast and color balance in your bedroom design.
Design features
Dark shades optically reduce the area, light shades increase it. In the design of a black and white bedroom, choose the dominant color, otherwise the room looks unnatural. The optimal proportions for a large room are 60 to 40%. In a tiny “Khrushchev” it is not recommended to use more than 20% of a muted palette.

Ceiling
If you look at photos of a bedroom in black, presented in design catalogs, it immediately becomes clear that it is better to leave the ceiling traditionally white. But this is not a panacea, because to achieve certain effects, sometimes the ceiling can be dark. But from a psychological point of view, when the room is dominated by black, and at the same time the ceiling, the room becomes excessively heavy and depressing. The exception is when the walls are white, a photo of a bedroom design with a black ceiling illustrates this well.

In this bedroom, decor and patterns are no longer appropriate. The decoration is carried out in a restrained manner - decor with metal parts is perfect.
Designers advise combining black with cool tones or silver with platinum.

The main advantages of designer furniture from Italy
You should not use a variety of textures; surfaces should have a matte, aged effect or gloss.
On large surfaces, black is a must, but for the rest, a metallic and silver palette is suitable.
Lighting
The light source is completely tied to the style. But looking ahead, it should be said that black combines simply amazingly with LED and LED backlighting. If you add plasterboard structures of interesting shapes to this combination. Then a stunning, mesmerizing atmosphere in the bedroom in the evening is guaranteed.
Traditional sources for the bedroom are a chandelier and there may be spotlights if the bedroom has a suspended or suspended ceiling. Lamps with lampshades can also be very beautiful and can stand out from the background with color.
A black bedroom should have good lighting. It should be possible to turn on more intense light. To some extent, the number of sources and the power of lamps should be greater than in a standard bright bedroom. Black color absorbs light quite strongly.
Curtains and dark furniture palette
The beauty of the chosen curtains for a bedroom with dark furniture is one of the main conditions for creating a harmonious environment for a relaxing holiday. They must be harmoniously combined with the rest of the interior decoration of the room and have certain qualities:
- ease;
- airiness;
- darker than the walls;
- lighter than furniture.
Thick fabrics are best suited for curtains. They provide good protection from the bright hot sun in summer. In any case, curtains for the bedroom should be made of natural fabrics with a light and bright palette of colors. It is better to avoid synthetics. It attracts dust well.
Magnet holders will become an elegant decoration in addition to their main functions. Curtains should match the bedroom set and the color of the walls. An excellent option is a light curtain with contrasting patterned designs.
Combination with other colors
Black by itself cannot exist in the space where a person lives. Its companions are not adjacent monochrome colors, but those that stand out brightly against its background. This makes it easy to achieve color balance in the bedroom.
Classic black and white balance
This combination will always be in demand. It is relevant in all design directions. The classics are boldly followed by any modern styles, including high-tech and modern. To create lightness and airiness, the walls in the bedroom should be painted white. And the bed and the rest of the furniture are chosen black.
Gold on black background
Large elements are rarely used in pure gold. But individual parts, such as door handles and lining, are quite appropriate. Gold is more of a decoration than a background or color in large quantities. Other metal parts can also be gold fittings: table lamps, candlesticks, picture frames, etc. They create those same notes of luxury and pomp. But for individuals who have a special passion for gold. A significant part of the bedroom may be in this color, as in the photo.
Red and orange
A magnificent and glamorous combination is achieved when a large red object is present in a black bedroom. The color of passion in the bedroom interior will not hurt, provided that the lighting does not leave the red background in the shadow. Orange or even yellow will dilute black and white pessimism, this is a claim to positivity. They look good in small quantities in paintings and on individual elements.
Companion color selection
It is simply impossible to imagine a bedroom made entirely in one black tone. Additional companion colors must be included. This is the only way the interior will be considered complete and organic.
Black and white bedroom
Black and white, discreet bedroom interior is the most common solution. It is almost impossible to make design errors in such a case. The main thing is to decide right away - it will be a black bedroom with a white addition, or a white one with black elements.
Black and red bedroom
This bedroom looks passionate and a little aggressive. Too much darkening can make the interior feel gloomy. Therefore, either make sure that red takes more attention, or dilute the situation with white.
Black and yellow bedroom
Due to the yellow color, all gloominess is lost. Such a bedroom will look energetic, lively and not boring.
A yellow room with black furniture also looks modern.
Black and purple bedroom
The first association is immediately associated with luxury and status. And if you add gilding, the style immediately goes into the Baroque style. Black and discreet purple colors, combined in the bedroom, will turn it into a real work of art.
