Black

Definitely not a choice for the faint hearted, black can be a very dramatic and elegant choice. Like brown, we tend to associate black with luxury and it can feel very cosy if styled properly. However, some people may have negative connotations associated with the colour black, even more so if paired with red accessories, so try to be mindful when styling. If you want to go for it, make sure it has a gloss or shiny finish to make it look more elegant rather than dungeon. If you’re torn, you could opt for a lighter shade, or an alternative like grey, it’s a great neutral colour that will look good in any room.
