Sharp black lines - how to use this design secret effectively?

If silhouettes make an artwork interesting, it can add wonders to an interior design. Imagine a white backdrop with jet black stripes or borders – the combination in itself creates bold yet elegant interiors.

Pristine white walls are becoming increasingly popular and linear black furniture or architectural elements added can create a modern yet classic interior. Well, this kind of trend can be sometimes scary, but if you execute it correctly, using black can create a classic elegance that exudes a bold style and cannot be achieved with any other combination.

Colour of the backdrop is important
The choice of the background colour is important in creating this kind of effect – with sharp black lines or patterns. If you have to define patterns with a bold black colour, make sure that the backdrop is a perfect contrast.

Doors and windows upgrade
Critall-style metal windows are perfect to implement this style. They work brilliantly to highlight the theme of sharp black lines. Especially the full height ones create a real impact. Contrasting the flooring and the walls is one technique that is often used here.

Transform your bathroom
Black in the bathroom is an urban style that is evolving and gradually growing in popularity. It makes the design look more sophisticated and especially elegant. If you have to give it a try, start there!

Introduce black hardware
Opting for matt black finish for the hardware in the house such as bathroom fittings, taps, cupboard handles (against a black backdrop), gives you a sharp sophisticated look – with a few simple replacements.

Staircase can be used creatively
When you plan a design, never overlook the stairs – they are an important element of design. A simple use of black lines for the stairs (usually on the edges), give the staircase an elegant bold and beautiful look.

Reframe photos and artworks
If you have a gallery wall or framed artworks in any of the rooms, you can reframe them to include black in the frames. Fine black frames accentuate this trend and the black frames against the white walls maintain a tranquil look too.

Classic designs
Some of the classic designer pieces such as a mix of black printed cushions that are arranged to create black and white shadows are an easy way to implement this trend. This could be a good place to try it out before you decide!

Introduce it slowly
The important thing to remember is that you do not have to go overboard with anything! Just remember that slow and steady changes give you a better idea of how the final finish will be. Test this out on a small corner of the house and check whether you are comfortable with this kind of a design. Then introduce it to the rest of your house!
