Use a simple ratio
A helpful starting point is roughly 60% light base (walls, floors, large surfaces), 30% natural timber and 10% black accents. Black works best as an outline: legs, frames, lighting and picture frames.
Repeat each finish at least twice
If you have a black dining table, repeat black in a pendant light or bar stool frames. If you have natural timber chairs, repeat it in a coffee table or shelf. Repetition makes the mix look intentional.
Great pairings
- Black round pedestal table with beige or natural chairs.
- Natural timber table with black-legged chairs.
- Black-framed bar stools with timber benchtops.
Soften with texture
Add linen, wool and bouclé so black does not feel harsh, and bring in greenery for life.
