must-haves
FOR HOME DECOR - BLACKS

A color that never goes out of style, black is a dynamic and classic option for your wardrobe and home decor as well.

In fact, I love this color so much, I’ve decided to share with you some general ideas as well as a few specific products that I think will really add something to your space.

Whether you’re going for an all-over theme or just want to add a few things here and there to help add contrast, I’ve got you covered.

Silhouette Pillows

Silhouette pillows mimic the popular cameos of yesterday with typically a black-white contrast though other color combinations are available.

We love this pillow because it is unique enough to stand out but not so much that it overwhelms any other element of your decor.

Plus, they have the added benefit of being able to pair nicely with pretty much anything else out there.

We like this Silhouette Throw Pillow from Society6 because it evokes the classical style of a cameo and modern ink art at the same time.

Black Vase

If you’re noticing a theme here, it’s probably that these suggestions not only work with whatever you have already but also with one another.

Another awesome option in this category is a black vase. You can pretty much go with whatever style you like here though faded patinas are in style.

This gives the vase an aged, pottery look that is quite different in terms of texture from the glossier ceramic options you tend to see.

The Stevey Black Pitcher from Crate and Barrel serves perfectly as a vase with a nice matte black finish the could go either with a clean, modern look or something provincial chic.

Tall Cast Iron Candle Holders

Want to add a gothic vibe without breaking out the cobwebs?

Tall, cast iron candle holders should do the trick. In addition to being substantive, these also help anchor a space’s general aesthetic.

I especially like this set of 3 Tall Cast Iron Candle Holders from Kalalou.

In addition to their minimal elegance, they also convey a continental sophistication with ease.

Black Bowl

Just like your outfit, your home needs accessories, too.

A large black bowl is not only useful but can also be used as part of a black-themed decorating plan.

Whether in the kitchen as a fruit holder or on your coffee table as a centerpiece, a black bowl demands attention. I love this option from Crate and Barrel.

Designed by Leanne Ford out of terracotta and a reactive matte black glaze, it is sure to remain a conversation starter for years to come.

Black Utility Cart

There’s no question that this piece of furniture is useful.

But how can you make it elegant?

Coating it in black paint is one method and it is probably the most effective we have seen yet.

If you want a piece of furniture that both adds functionality to your room and gives it a bit of style at the same time, you can’t go wrong with this Nissafors black utility cart from Ikea.
