Perhaps it is knowing that most of my new house will most likely be quite white, one room being the complete opposite. The most likely candidate is the lounge / media / music room, that would benefit from being an insulated, moderating and introspective space. Luxurious, light-absorbing velvets and the dull glow of warm lighting on black walls and ceilings. Splashes of dark teal, petroleum and peacock mixed with jewel tones of perhaps emerald, amethyst and ruby. Multiple textures will be key to keeping the space warm and inviting rather than claustrophobic and threatening.
Here are a few interiors that are exploring and expressing their dark side.
