Welcome to our gallery of luxurious rooms that make the most of beautiful dark furniture.
While light-colored furniture can create a light and airy atmosphere in bedrooms, dark-colored furniture should not be overlooked when planning your interior design concept.
Dark furniture has a reputation for making a room appear smaller, but as you can see in this collection, a carefully planned room layout can utilize darker pieces to make an impact. Combined with complementary pieces and lighter design elements, a bedroom designed with dark furniture offers an air of luxury and relaxation.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing dark bedroom furniture is to ensure that lighter, complementary colors are used throughout the room. Your eyes will be drawn to the deep, rich tones of your key pieces and then drawn to the lighter elements. This creates a great sense of space.
