I’m a smitten kitten with all of the black detailing!

Friends,

The New Year is upon us.

Did you celebrate in your pj’s or out on the town? (Me? PJ’s and asleep by 11 pm.) 

For the party people  ????  … What is better for a night out than the LBD? Little black dress?

Nothing. It’s subtle and classic. It’s timeless and chic. It’s dramatic and flattering. It looks good on everyone and everything. (Slay.)

The same could be said for anchors of black in decor from accessories, furniture, cabinets, hardware, lighting and of course flooring. Peep this powder room hardwood  and that decadent gold and black w/p, floating vanity, mirror and light. Perfection designed by Piper Stromatt.

Black is a total vibe. Check these styles for fresh inspiration in your spaces as we ring in the new year.

Design tip: Look for 12x24 tiles that have a matte finish. It’s pure luxury to engage your senses. The inspiration behind this one is soapstone. Subtle clefting. Ever so slight movement. Zero gloss level. Easy to clean and maintain.

 Try a stacked black matte subway. It is modern perfection in this kitchen designed by Tara McNabb.

For A properties out there, try a hardwood painted black. This one has a dramatic 9” wide sliced plank. It emotes the style trend Modern Moody. It oozes sophistication especially as an accent or logo wall!

 A multidimensional tile invites you to touch the texture. A Coco Chanel like fabric feel with color highlighting is just stunning in this soft black, great for a coffee bar or smoothie area.

 This 6x6 zellige tile is a designer favorite. So versatile on the wall in a stacked or staggered install. Just luscious. Wednesday Adams would approve!

 Happy New Year to you and yours! Will you be incorporating black in any of your projects? 

Back in black,

Tracy
