Not Your Basic Black

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love the elegance of using the color black in home design. Spaces showcasing black as a focal point are sleek and sophisticated. It is the perfect backdrop to set off a feature color, but can also stand alone as a striking statement. Far from being dark and daunting, when appropriately implemented, this bold color can be classic, crisp, and clean or convey more of a luxurious, black tie formality. We often work with clients who prefer key elements of black in their home design plans, ranging from smaller accents like accessories, lighting and trim to bolder applications like paint, cabinetry, flooring, and stone features. However it is utilized, black has a grounding effect that anchors a room and catches the eye. These images show how beautifully the color black can be used to structure a space and bring showstopping results. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help heighten your home design plans with some not so basic black! Design credit to @ferrisrafauli @pullcast_jewelryhardware @maximillion_design
