Elegant & Edgy: Matte Black Decor
Go ahead, be dramatic. Sophisticated, statement-making, and utterly striking, matte black home decor effortlessly ups your style game – at every level of boldness.
Black will always be the new black.
For drama, elegance, and a not-so-subtle edge, you can’t go wrong with matte black. The color (or non-color, if you want to get technical) and finish are trending throughout the fashion and home décor world – find it on everything from fingernails to faucets, from lipstick to light fixtures, from the smallest cabinet knob to the most daring wall in the house.
A dash (or more) of matte black will ratchet up your home’s wow factor without veering into drama-queen territory (or, worse, Addams family style).
Start small. Matte black level: beginner
Looking for a bit of flair but afraid to overdo it? Add in matte black in smaller, removable accents throughout the home, like cabinet and door hardware, mirror frames, small furnishings, and accessories. If you’re a little more daring and willing to commit to matte black in small doses, try a striking matte black faucet or light fixture – it’s more modern and more striking than oil-rubbed bronze.
The Brizo Solna kitchen faucet is slim and sleek, but in matte black it’s anything but inconspicuous!
Too much black? Try a matte black beginner’s faucet like the Dornbracht freestanding tub filler to add some panache to the bathroom. At almost three feet tall, it’s bold and distinct, but its silver-tone accents tone down the matte black.
Spread it out. Matte black level: intermediate
Ready for the next level? Consider matte black shower fittings, sinks, trim, light fixtures, or furniture (chairs or even a table) – more permanent, but still not that hard to change if you tire of it or decide that you’re not really into the look. For a bigger impact, insert a single cabinet or set of cabinets to your kitchen as a dramatic focal point.
Up your matte black game in the bathroom with an all-black tub filler like the Brizo Siderna tub filler: eye-catching and prominent without becoming overwhelming, especially when paired with other black hardware and fixtures (black bathtub optional!).
Go all-out! Matte black level: expert
All aboard the matte black train! If you love it, go for it – try matte black walls, large appliances and fixtures like bathtubs and ovens, cabinets or counters (both would be a little much), or flooring.
Now you’re ready for the big leagues. A Slik Portfolio freestanding soaker tub in matte black is that statement piece you’ve been waiting for.
