Black Friday inspiration

It’s Black Friday in the US today, which is considered to be the kick-off day for all-out Christmas shopping. Stores in the US (and some in Canada too) have huge sales to tempt buyers to get into the Christmas shopping spirit. So in honour of Black Friday, here’s an all-black post that might inspire you to get out or get online and shop :-)

Every room needs a touch of glam, and this chandelier definitely has glam covered! The Venezia chandelier from Z Gallerie is $249.00.

Insolent cutlery from Ercuis is inspired by designs of the Italian Renaissance. It’s made of 925 sterling silver and black resin. Available at artedeco, but trust me, you don’t want to know the prices!Ercuis-L-Insolent-silver-cutlery-black artedonaSpeaking of cutlery, artist Linda Florence created these huge flocked vinyl cutlery stickers for the floor in Millennium Museum in Sheffield, England. Pretty cool!

T Double L in New Zealand designs beautiful cushions in nature-inspired patterns. Love the Toitoi in black and white. It’s $77 for the cover only, $85 with the insert (presumably those are New Zealand dollars).toitoi-cushion-black-white

I love the concept of Flor carpet tiles. They give you the freedom to mix and match different patterns and colours to create a carpet that’s perfect for your space. If a tile ever gets damaged, just remove it and replace it with a new tile. Flor carpet tiles are environmentally friendly too, which is an added bonus. This is the All Square pattern in black, $13.99 per tile.

In keeping with my previous post about chocolate diamonds, how about a black diamond? This Art Decor-inspired ring with a 1/4 carat black diamond would be a great gift to receive on Christmas morning – or any day, really! $475 from Apples for Gold.

This room is seriously dramatic with the bacl walls, black ceiling, and ebony wood flooring. The white chairs, artwork, and red flowers really pop against the black.
