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!
Speaking 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).
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.
If you’re planning to do some redecorating over the Christmas holidays, maybe one of these rooms will inspire you to get daring and go black! Love this room by one of my favourite designers, Jane Lockhart. It’s even decorated for Christmas :-)
Gorgeous black wallpaper and love the ceiling detailing.
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.
Gwenyth Paltrow’s bathroom with black imperial Trellis wallpaper – stunning!
Gorgeous wallpaper, and check out the matching cat :-)
Happy shopping!
You chose gorgeous black rooms Kelly! I especially love that bathroom! It is so glam!
ReplyDeleteHope your Black Friday is going well! xo
I love these rooms--great inspiration. I also adore that chandelier (why doesn't Z Gallerie ship to Canada?!), the flatware and that rug.
ReplyDeleteKelly - these rooms are certainly well designed and look impressive - but would you also feel comfortable? No-one would dare to just feel at home in rooms like these and snuggle up in socks on the sofa to enjoy magazines and things like that - but then these rooms are not made for feeling cozy - lol!!!I love the black cat in one of those rooms...
ReplyDeleteYour blog is officially 'my happy place'. Nothing else comes to close to promising that my little slice of hell will look as nice & be finished one day. (But now you've made me want black wallpaper -- ahh!)
ReplyDeleteI want that bathroom! Also... isn't it awesome that the flor carpet tiles come in such chic designs?
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post, Kelly. That bird in a cage light fitting is SO So amazing !

ReplyDeleteThat is certainly black inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteLove the rug
I love black and white rooms - so dramatic! You found some absolutely breath taking wallpapers as well!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! You know, ever since black walls have been the 'thing' I've always had in my mind the desire to paint a room black in my home somewhere. I love the look, but if I had the money I think I'd go for the imperial trellis wall covering :)

Yet another visually stunning post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think my new favorite color scheme is this dark charcoal grey. Just LOVE it! Thanks for stopping by my blog - I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these images and would love to do a dramatic, dark wall somewhere in my own home.
ReplyDeletebetter late than never :)
ReplyDeleteI think those cutlery stickers are really cool and something I'd actually use if I had a large enough place. Love that cushion (and a lot of the different sofas and chairs), but the whole that appeals to me most is that last photo -- lovely place.
