apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Look! Black Room, Gold Frames

081308_aussieblackgold.jpgTalk about high drama! As much as we're marveling at the different black textures (glossy floor, beautiful linen sofa), the back wall filled with golden frames really commands our attention. Thanks to the tight grouping of these frames, any light that comes through makes the whole wall glow despite the dark hue.

This room looks stunning, but I would find the black much too dark to live with every day.

I hate to sound like a downer, but the artwork is bugging me on the wall. it is not level and the spacing is irregular. if that were fixed, I probably would go for it.

I love my black bedroom. It's quite cozy and with the light gray & white linens, white lampshades, silvery white curtains, it isn't hard to live in at all.

I have to say, I'm not actually a huge fan of this. I don't mind that the artwork isn't level, but it bothers me that it is so low, keeping all this empty space above. Also, my prejudice against gold & gold frames remains. Perhaps it could be undone, but not by this look.

While I couldn't actually live with pictures quite so artfully dis-arranged in my own place, I am loving the look, and would probably do something highly illegal to own that couch.

Wow. There's something magical about this space. The gold frames look like a trail of pixie dust!

I, personally, like the irregularity of the photo arrangements.

Question: where can I find that couch?!?! Looks so comfy!

I've always loved black rooms. I've never seen one I didn't think was chic.

Very sexy and provocative. And according to the new color trends black is the new black!
