Usually the opposite. Dark backgrounds blur the corners and edges of a room, which can make it feel deeper and more enveloping. It works especially well in small rooms like powder rooms and dens. Add warm lighting, mirrors and lighter furniture or textiles to keep it balanced.
Dining rooms, powder rooms, dens, libraries, home offices and bedrooms are ideal, as they are often used in the evening under warm light. In a living room, try one dark feature wall behind a sofa or fireplace rather than wrapping the whole space if it gets little daylight.
Pull one or two colours from the flowers for cushions, throws and art. Blush, rust and mustard glow against black and navy, while cream keeps things crisp. Velvet, brass, warm wood and leather add richness, and painting trim in a deep tone makes the look feel finished.
Dark grounds show seams and wall flaws more than light ones, so prepare carefully. Make sure the wall is smooth, primed and fully cured, and match panels precisely. Our designs are printed in 24-inch panels to your exact size, which keeps alignment simple, and Traditional is best installed by a pro.
