If you want an instant injection of rich sophistication in a room, think about adding something/anything that is black velvet with tufting. This style of furniture has an old-world glamour that looks great when mixed with bright eclectic art and home accessories. You can also combine multiple pieces for a gothic glam decor.

I LOVE black furniture! I have two black channel back Georgian chairs- not velvet but still really fabulous! Check them out: http://christapirl.blogspot.com/2010/08/home-sweet-home.html

This post may have tipped me in favor of recovering my Restoration Hardware sofa in black velvet.
Sooo gorgeous...
Cats. No way! ;^)
Love it! Black is so underrated in our interiors. These all just made me drool! I wouldn't even care about the cat hair.
