You can use black, but sparingly

Black is an elegant and sophisticated color, so it can be used in any home. But if you choose to paint your walls black, you should opt for some contrasting accessories and other complementing colors and textures, because otherwise, you risk creating a gloomy room. 

“If the room has plenty of natural light coming in, particularly onto the wall that you’re painting, black can look stunning. Go bold with furniture and décor; you’ll find that the dark background makes bright colors‘ sing’,” Jude Gregory tells Domain.

  1. Pink tile bathrooms!
    I had an idea to paint the ceilings in all rooms and halls one color–off-white veined with gold–and use a different color in each room. A color I’d pick for a study, library or man cave was favored by the Romans–a Venetian or brick red, maybe russet ..

    You probably should not paint any exterior surfaces in sea; brown…unless you don’t mind your place being mistaken for a UPS facility.

    I really don’t care what the so called experts like or dislike. They don’t live on n my home so if I want to use rainbow colors every where I will

  4. I enjoy reading the reviews on different things but hate the inserts in between. If I wanted to see a sex scene, I would go to a different site.

    Trump had destroyed this country ! He is seriously mentally ill !! He has some real mental problems ! That man needs help !! I can’t believe the people that are still following him ! That tells me something about their mentality also !!

  6. This also depends upon whose bathroom we’re discussing. In a child’s bathroom, white would be a problem. But I’ve used it in a master bath with fabulous results; white doors, a wall of built in cabinets in white & bath & shower surround & vanity in white Carrera marble. The room had a bright, spacious & relaxing feel.
