Most professional interior decorators feel that almost every room should have a black accent as it pulls all of the other colors in the space together.

Try adding a black element to some of your rooms: A black box, a black picture frame or, if you’re really bold, try adding black glossy paint trim to outline a special nook in one of your rooms or painted on another design element.

Any black accent piece seems to clarify and enhance all the other colors in each room: Try it – it really works!
