Painting a dark wall in your home takes a bit of courage, but once the job is done, you’ll never want anything else! Dark colours in an interior create exciting contrasts, as seen here in this country-style home of ’t Uilennest.
In this country-style interior, the colour Cornwall Black makes a statement. The striking warm floor draws your eye towards the end of the hallway, while the chandelier creates a beautiful distribution of light. You may choose to finish the paintwork with an extra matt varnish, but this is certainly not a necessity.
Along the side wall stands this large mirror. By choosing Cornwall Black here as well, an almost monochrome effect is created. The rest of the interior has been deliberately kept sober.
It is very important to take natural light into account, especially when choosing dark wall colours. The chandelier ensures a beautiful distribution of light, while the mirror enhances the light through reflection.
Consistent style
The rest of the interior also breathes character and timeless elegance thanks to the combination of Cornwall Black and Old White. The deep black tone of the doors and accents brings a sense of refinement and structure, while the chalky white shade on the walls adds light, softness and balance. Combined with the warm terracotta floor and natural linen curtains, this creates a country-style atmosphere with a chic touch — a perfect fusion of rustic and refined.
