Oh, no mistake, I am a white wall person, calico and linen natural shades devotee, washed out timber floor dreamer, and sun kissed, light filled rooms native. Recently though I seem to crave the drama of a jet black wall...and I'm not talking about ever present chalkboard kind, popping everywhere like mushrooms (cute, but becoming too much of a standard, which for me means look elsewhere).
I have been adventurous about my walls since I was able to hold a paintbrush. I was drawing, painting and stenciling on walls, I had pure white walls, cream and yellow walls, lime, mint and teal walls, even a dark purple wall with a large antique golden frame mirror, which looked eye popping. But I never had a black wall.
My black wall would have good natural light and preferably high ceiling for the full impact. And on it, a large hanging print, painting, photograph, hand painted wall plate, an antique sword or a Cameroon hat. Some white or organic looking furniture against it. And a lot of empty black space. I'm a minimalist at heart. Unfortunately at the moment I don't have a suitable wall to try out these ideas, but maybe you do? What would you do to your black wall?
Here's some I really like:

highly tactile wallpaper, I feel like patting it... that yellow flower on the wall...

art objects pop out against the black...via Vogue Living Australia
how cool is this? black wall with a twist via emmas.blogg.se
organic against black does pack the punch too!
