Lighting

To emphasize the spectacular black and white interior, we recommend using special lighting. Among the basic rules of how to properly illuminate a room in monochrome shades, it is worth highlighting:

  • Small spotlights give a special depth and sophistication of black lacquered furniture. But a large number of such lamps will make the contrast of monochrome colors used to create the interior less noticeable.
  • Unusual multi-level lighting is used to give a bedroom that is furnished with dark furniture, mystery and harmony. Matte surfaces are perceived more luxurious and textured under such lighting.
  • Quite rarely black and white colors are used for decoration. children rooms. When you make a child's room in monochrome colors, you need to take care of sufficient flow of sunlight into the room. Good lighting of the nursery is important to ensure when choosing dark furniture for this room. If the natural light in the nursery is not enough, the black furniture will be perceived cumbersome, and the room itself, despite the elegance and consistency of style, will be deprived of comfort.
  • If the room will be illuminated with spotlights, it is important to ensure that there are enough of them in the room. Several single lamps give a hard light, creating a cold uninhabited space around dark furniture. Adequate illumination in black and white interior creates cozy, soft lines.
  • Chandelier horns directed towards the ceiling give a calm, pacifying light evenly distributed throughout the ceiling. Chandeliers with horns pointing down, we do not recommend using it in monochrome tones. Such light can aggravate the atmosphere of pressure on the human psyche, especially if black has been chosen from the prevailing tone.

At observance of the listed rules, competently organized space in black and white will be perceived easily and positively.
