Black Bedroom Furniture – How to Choose Just the Right Decoration to Make Your Bedroom Feel Cosy and Warm This Winter.
Posted by Roger van der Matten on 19th Feb 2012
Black bedroom furniture looks very modern and contemporary, but it is also a timeless and classic choice and you can dress it up or down depending on the look you want to achieve. Certainly black furniture can produce a very dramatic look to a bedroom, but clever use of the right accessories can also make this space feel calm, cosy and serene.
Colours can affect our mood in different ways. Black is a very dominant and powerful colour which looks chic and sophisticated but can also feel quite mysterious. Black bedroom furniture creates a very striking look but it is important to get the balance right with your decor so the room does not feel too gloomy. However, with careful use of wall colours and accessories you can create a contemporary, classy and restful look to your bedroom.
Whatever type of furniture you choose, this part of the home should be the place you feel most at peace in. As your inner sanctuary, it is important that this room reflects your personality. The aim is to choose furniture that you love, and to create an environment for total relaxation of the body and mind so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep and feel rejuvenated ready for the day ahead.

Black Bedroom Furniture – Top Tips on How to Create The Perfect Bedroom with Black Furniture.
Here are some of the things to consider when it comes to creating the perfect restful environment this winter.
Do choose good quality black furniture as you will be glad you made the investment. 4 Living’s handcrafted black lacquered bedroom furniture is hard wearing and timeless so it will last for as long as you want it to. We have a beautiful range of black bedroom furniture such as our Oriental bed which matches perfectly with our Black lacquer nightstand and our Black lacquer tall oriental wardrobe
Don’t choose black furniture if your room is quite small and boxy. This can make your bedroom feel dark and dingy. Instead, black furniture looks great in larger bedrooms and makes the room feel snug and inviting. So you can look forward to cosying up under the covers when it is cold outside.
Do make sure you have plenty of storage in the bedroom as your furniture will stand out better in an uncluttered space. If you have the space the Black lacquer oriental chest of 8 is a great choice for this room as it provides ample space for underwear, T-shirts, shirts and jumpers.
Don’t overcrowd the room with storage furniture as this will make this space look too cramped.
Do choose light colours for the walls and flooring to lighten the overall effect as well as adding contrast and drama. Light wood flooring looks dramatic and bright white paint on the walls helps bring the light in.
Don’t choose neon colours as this can appear a bit like overkill and looks too busy. It distracts your eye away from the beauty of solid wood furniture and creates an environment that is more energising than restful.
Do think about injecting accent colours in the room. Accessorise with covers, throws, rugs and artwork. Choose peaceful and calming colours such as greens and blues, or dress your bedroom in neutral tones such as beige, tan and white. Alternatively, reds, oranges or purples can add warmth and sensuality.
Don’t forget to make sure you have plenty of natural light filtering into the room. If you have black bedroom furniture choose lighting wisely and remember that mirrors also brighten up a space such as 4 Living’s Oriental square mirror
Do make sure that you have lots of texture in your room with textured rugs, throws, or cushions. Adding a tactile rug or faux fur cushions are a great way to beat the big freeze and make your room feel cosy and warm in winter.
