Wanted to create a calm atmosphere and direct the eye out the windows to our bush view, so I bit the bullet and painted the whole room matte black. Amazed at how beautifully it works, but can’t decide now which bedding to use. What do you think, the white, or the green?
Hi Eric, I had a friend back in the UK and she painted the whole flat black. Each time I visited I needed a course of antidepressants. I think you could get away with just a bedroom if you have adequate light and bright soft furnishings. It’s just a phase youngsters go through but when they get the sec bill they might paint it while. All good fun. I don’t know what this is or how to repot it. All the best brenda
True, But the matt colouring makes it feel more earthy and secure. What also plays through my mind is imagine the back lighting you could do 
Now I want to take the day off and go home and work on something inthe house! Too many ideas

hahahah I think ive been talked out of a black room three times in my life. Not sure if Id be game enough to try it but like the look a lot. I have two Libary's and they have multiple black bookcases. The lighting takes away the darkness and I think the depth of colour (black with oiled timber edging) looks stunning. I do intend to post the sequence, just havnt managed to get myself to do so yet. The projects that people do alwways inspire me, I may not want to do all of the same but mixing and matching... Well isnt that the way we renovate?

I’m really amazed at how much light is drawn into my black room. Maybe you’re just really aware of every speck of light as it’s such high contrast.
Love the sound of your library! Everyone should have a library
