Although black is a common paint color, you rarely see on the walls of one’s bedroom or any room of the home for that matter. However, if you are bold enough to paint an accent wall in your bedroom black (or all your walls for that matter!), the results can be both dramatic and sexy! The key to choosing the right shade of black for your bedroom is to look for a shade of black that has subtle, matte tones. Many shades of black have blue undertones, but it is important to look for a black shade that is a true black.
Are you hesitant about slapping black paint of the walls of your bedroom? As an alternative to painting all of the walls in your bedroom black, consider adding a dark, graphite gray and black Venetian plaster to one accent wall. Consider painting the other walls a high gloss, cream color to balance out the dramatic statement of the Venetian plaster. Using black in such small doses will keep the mood sexy, rather than somber and funeral like.
Instead of painting the walls black, you can opt to introduce the color black into your bedroom by ebonizing your furniture. Black lacquer furniture is both sexy and sophisticated, and its dark coloring can easily be counterbalanced by keeping the bedding, window treatments, and wall colors of the room in a neutral palette. Large mirrors throughout the room can reflect the incoming natural light, and make the space appear larger than it is. Keep the wall colors and window treatments neutral to let in the maximum amount of natural lighting.
A classic black and white color scheme for your bedroom is both sexy and sophisticated. If you like to sleep in in the mornings, look for blackout shades, which block incoming sunlight. The theme can be continued throughout the bedroom with black and white bedding. To break up the monotony of the color scheme, look for a white and black damask wallpaper to add visual interest to the room. A bold accent color, like orange or yellow, can be used sparsely to provide color in this decorating scheme.

Finally, there is no shortage of different ways you can introduce black into your bedroom. Black, like the color white, can complement most colors nicely. It works best when it is paired with contrasting colors, like emerald green or different hues of blue, but you do not have to limit yourself to solid color combinations. Try adding ethnic textiles, modern geographic prints, or damask prints into your bedroom to create visual interest.
