House painting follows certain trends just like the world of fashion does. Rosy pinks are in this year and swapped out the next for cool blues.\u00a0The trick for color professionals is to take trendy colors and create a balanced aesthetic for a home that stands the test of time.<\/p>\n

One of the main ways they do this is by recommending black as a compliment or accent. Black adds character to every part of the home, inside or out. It creates a modern and clean aesthetic. It adds character everywhere it\u2019s used. It\u2019s showing up more and more in properties around the country.<\/p>\n

Some homeowners will be reluctant to commit to a black interior (or exterior) paint scheme. But a black wall can ground your design in ways other colors can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Why? Because black never goes out of style.<\/p>\n

Bottom line, using black paint is not only fashionable, but it\u2019s also more versatile than you might think. Let\u2019s take a look at some interesting ways homeowners can incorporate this enduring color.<\/p>\n

Why Black?<\/h3>\n

Black is a bold color, so you might be thinking \u201cit\u2019s not for me.\u201d But incorporating black is easier than you think.<\/p>\n

In fact, it fits with any decorating style or personal taste. It\u2019s such an adaptable color, anyone can find great uses for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack is modern. Black is transitional, classic, and timeless. It draws attention to the organic elements and allows them to stand out, which feels really good to the eye,\u201d says color expert Susan Newcomer of Beautiful Home, CertaPro Painters\u00ae Interior Design.<\/p>\n

One of the most persuasive reasons to incorporate black is its pairing capabilities.<\/p>\n

Black pairs exceptionally well with other colors; it makes them appear more vivid and rich.<\/p>\n

Simply put, black makes colors look better and brighter. This is an essential principle of color theory and design. You might be thinking, \u201cthat might work for clothing or a decorative painting, but I\u2019m not so sure about a house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the kicker that surprises most homeowners \u2014 black paint design works the same way for houses. What\u2019s more, it works both inside\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0outside of the home.<\/p>\n

A Dark Exterior Makes A Bold Statement\"\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Black makes the perfect canvas for other colors to pop. Just think about what this means for the\u00a0exterior of your home<\/a>\u00a0as the seasons change.<\/p>\n

An exterior black color scheme makes spring and summer greens come alive. It makes spring flowers more beautiful, fall leaves more vivid, and winter snow even brighter.<\/p>\n

Black actually enhances Mother Nature\u2019s seasonal colors. It increases a home\u2019s curb appeal by drawing in the beauty of each season and making it work for you.<\/p>\n

And like we said, black isn\u2019t just visually attractive on the outside.<\/p>\n

Why Black Interior Paint Just Works<\/h3>\n

Just as black makes exterior colors pop, it can make your furniture, picture frames, and decorations\u00a0inside your home<\/a>\u00a0pop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Imagine the modern look of a black accent wall in your bedroom with family photos hung in turquoise picture frames. Place some matching turquoise throw pillows on the bed. Beautiful!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you enjoy a retro look, picture your kitchen with black walls, white floors, and lots of red accents. This is a modern take on a classic look that will turn the heart of your home into the most unique room in your house.<\/p>\n

If you have a lot of natural wood in your home, black will make its organic tones even more attractive. Picture black stair treads with white risers and spindles and a handrail stained in a walnut shade. Jefferson did it at Monticello, and it still looks gorgeous today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sky\u2019s the limit. Black does a lot of heavy lifting when you use it as your base color, especially when you use it as a contrast to the other colors in your unique decorating style.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like the growing number of homeowners around the country that are turning to black, the question isn\u2019t how you can use it in one room of the house. It\u2019s \u201chow many?\u201d<\/p>\n
