Color inspiration - from blah to black!

Moving into a new apartment and getting the place organized and decorated takes so much time. I'm still not done unpacking. I've come to the conclusion that I don't have enough closet space and I desperately need to buy more closets to put in the guest room for the rest of my stuff. For my bedroom I've bought a wonderful big white PAX closet from Ikea, which took my dad days to put together! He is so patient. *bless him* Now that big white closet is sitting in my white bedroom with white walls and the room is looking rather blah! So, I need to add some color and character to the space. And I've decided to paint the room black! Well, at least one wall. I'm going from blah to black, people! Since I can't sleep I've been roaming the internet looking for inspiration. Here are my favorite finds.

   

I was inspired by the lovely Kimberly from Swoonworthy blog who has a fantastic home and a gorgeous bedroom all in black! I had met Kimberly at the Meet the Blogger event and got to spend some time with her. Besides being very talented and having a great sense of style, she is also one of the sweetest and kind spirited people I've met. And funny too. Check out her blog.

And by the way, how cute is this print of the Chanel no5 painting by Anne Harwell? I'm thinking of buying it for my bedroom. Love it.

    1. Hi Tiina,
      I will! Good to hear that it still works in a room that doesn't have natural light :-) I love your inspiration picture ;-) And yes, I think the black will look beautiful as a background for framed images.
      Big hug,
      xoxo

  3. Ik hou van zwarte muren, stoer en sober. We hebben zelf al bijna 2 jaar een zwarte muur in onze woonkamer en ben er nog steeds niet op uitgekeken.
    Ben benieuwd hoe het eruit komt te zien.
    Lieve groet,
