Dark and Daring: Black Accents for the Perfect Home Look

Look at a professional interior designer’s project, and chances are, black will make an appearance. Black is bold; it’s versatile; and it’s undeniably chic. Decorating with black accents is a tried and tested way to add depth and layers to any room. You can use it to create a subtle statement or a dramatic focal point. Either way, it’ll single-handedly add luxury to your interior. Let’s talk about how to add black accents to your home for the perfect modern look.

Black Candle Holders

Black accents can bring understated luxury to any space. This modern rustic interior uses a black candle holder  in the centre of an exposed wood table. The interplay of black against the natural wood instantly adds visual interest. Our Aruma Rustic Iron Black Candle Holder and Margo Black Rustic Candle Holder Set can elevate your table. In fact, it’s not just for the table; this set makes a bold statement on the mantel, your coffee table, and other areas of the home.

Explore our extensive collection of black candle holders, designed to enhance and complement any interior style. Perfect for creating a cosy ambiance, adding elegance to your décor, or making a bold statement in your space.

Black Lamps

Black accents aren’t always just decorative. This bedroom uses wall-mounted swing-arm lamps in a matte black finish. These provide illumination as you read your favourite book in bed while also doubling as black accent decor.

The black hardware for the nightstands further adds a hint of black, adding modern sophistication to the otherwise rustic ambience.

Black Table and Serveware Accessories

For those who love to host, the dining table offers so many opportunities to add black. Our London Black Stainless Steel Cutlery Sets can make a statement on neutral-hued tablescapes. And the Alma Wood Round Serving Board Set in black can give you a rustic modern unique cheese board to serve your guests, or to layer your home accessories elsewhere.

To take your table setting the extra mile, add on our Enigma Round Black Porcelain Plates. This is a great way to add black in a shiny finish.

Black Framed Mirrors

This bathroom space subtly adds black with a framed mirror. The edges are soft, perfectly complementing the modern rustic style.

Adding on a black faucet and wall lamps ties the space together and adds more of this stunning shade.

A Black Statement

Black accents don’t always have to be understated. This space creates a focal point with matte black cabinetry. Similarly, you can use this colour for accent walls across the home.

At What a Host Home, we’re all about creating rustic modern accessories that are also sustainable. Our home black accessories can help you add black accents for the perfect modern look.
