The black aesthetic, or glam noir theme, has been emerging since October 2022, and homeowners and designers are becoming more open to adding black to their homes. An undoubtedly enigmatic colour, here are some reasons that'll urge you to make this bold choice. The first has to be for the sheer class and timeless grandeur it adds to any part of the house, be it the living room, kitchen, or bathroom. Secondly, contrary to the popular myth of black and bad luck, correctly using the colour black with Feng Shui in consideration can help attract wealth. Lastly, black is for those who wish to extend their bold taste and personality to their home. If vibrant or cheeky pastels are not your thing, experimenting with black can be very satisfying.

We also found an interior designer who has been acing this trend fearlessly. Disha Bhutani, designed a Gurgaon high-end residence with black as the dominate colour. Matching the tastes of her clients, who travel extensively, she's designed the home in a way that is a marriage of retro and contemporary.

However, it can be tricky to synchronise the design of your home without overdoing it. If you're looking forward to nailing this trend, here's how to consciously and aesthetically use home products to master the use of the darkest, boldest colour. The first is to have black paired with neutral tones, which is an equal combination of black and larger areas in shades like beige to cream. For instance, pairing light-coloured marble with black interior elements like cabinetry, furniture, decor, and the likes. The second way to tone down the heaviness of black is to have an indoor-outdoor flow. This simply means having optimum sunlight light up your space, which is designed with black elements. Now, let's hop on to the most daring but good-looking purchases you'll be making.

Black Leather Furniture

First things first, black furniture is the easiest way to slide black into any room. Get a black leatherette sofa for the living room, a black lounge chair for the drawing room, and a black side table for the bedroom. We picked our modern favourites below. We recommend choosing products made with leather because it is a classic, vintage choice to add depth to your space. For accent furniture, you can get a piece crafted in marble or wood, both of which are synonymous with luxury.
