In the fashion and automotive industries, black is an all-time-favourite. In furniture and interior design, this colour is reaching new heights. Black is becoming more popular than ever before and is commonly used as accent colour. It is now appearing more frequently on larger surface areas, making bold statements as the base of a colour scheme or as an accompanying note in a less intense nearly black shade.

Combine black with a tactile finish or pair it with black-based accent colours. Don’t be afraid of the dark: black furniture or walls are guaranteed to add subtle elegance to any room.

Black is easily combined with both refined and rustic wood finishes, as well as with darker stone-effect surfaces. As well as becoming more prevalent on larger surface areas, black is increasingly matched with matt. Accessories and fittings in bathrooms and kitchens, or smaller eye-catching features on pieces of furniture take modern design to the next level.
