Dark wallpaper looks stunning in modern interiors. If you want to learn how to incorporate the richness of dark colors into your interior, you can explore examples from the Lushome collection that are both admirable and inspiring. Traditionally, white paint or light-colored wallpaper designs are preferable choices for room decorating, especially in small apartments and urban homes. Light-colored rooms appear bright and visually larger. However, it is the dark wallpaper in a hallway, bedroom, or living room that can effectively complement the luxury of natural wood parquet, chic furniture, rich drapes, and the exquisite interior design style.

Dark-colored wallpaper designs are beautiful, atmospheric, and impressive. Still, it is essential to understand how to use them and employ modern design techniques to add chic elegance or an extravagant touch to a space that needs a change. The secrets of contrasting backgrounds are simple. Dark colors are excellent for the luxurious presentation of expensive items. A dark background with soft illumination in a jewelry store and or an elite furniture salon beautifully displays pricey and exclusive items. No one would think of looking at a dark background, as all the attention would be on the design.

It is unnecessary to decorate all the walls with a dark color. You can create an accent to bring the atmospheric feel. A marble fireplace, a soft corner furniture piece with expensive upholstery, a lighted glass display case for antiques, or a collection of pricey porcelain pieces look dramatic against a dark background.

Three color combinations

The human mind is more likely to identify and remember three colors used in room decorating, especially those that create a contrast of dark and light tones. A combination of dark and light colors, in a proportion of 1 to 4, plus one bright accent color, creates a perfect combination for harmonious, interesting, and modern interior design. Other shades can act as small accents to enrich and personalize the room decorating. Such color combinations are versatile and work beautifully for any space.

Brown wallpaper

Chocolate and coffee enthusiasts appreciate brown wallpaper designs featuring gold accents. Silver and gold accessories and accents are perfect companions to dark wallpaper patterns. Cream, peach, orange, raspberry, and caramel shades complement brown wallpaper perfectly. Chocolate shades of leather furniture and modern wallpaper, like chocolates, are the best gifts for contemporary rooms.

Light balance

Black wallpaper is a way to balance the excess lighting, especially on the south side of the house. Direct sunlight dazzles, and glossy walls and varnished floors enhance the effect. Dark matte wallpaper in chocolate, graphite (dark gray), burgundy, emerald (dark green),  sapphire (dark blue), and black (jacquard or patterned) helps.

Versatility of dark room colors

Dark wallpaper is suitable for various bright rooms. Even in the northern bedroom or living room, dark-colored wallpaper can look gorgeous with efficient and bright contemporary lighting. Black and white, blue and gold, green, purple, or red wallpaper patterns are excellent modern choices for decorating a room. Unusual black wallpaper designs are stunning. Dark wallpaper in shades of gray, brown, blue, and green creates luxurious interiors. A dark background perfectly sets off everything that you want to accentuate, whether it is expensive furniture, art, antique, original accessories, or modern luxury items.

Dark-colored wallpaper is an exciting interior design trend. Dark shades are most advantageous to use in modern aesthetics. From loft and hi-tech interior design to classic rooms and children’s bedrooms, dark-colored wallpapers are a stylish choice for wall coverings. Suppose you have already decorated your room with dark wallpaper, but it has turned out to be a bit gloomy. In that case, experts recommend adding decorative panels or artwork to the wall to achieve a light and harmonious look.
