Nate Berkus advocates for the use of black walls in home design, showcasing various projects that illustrate their elegance and versatility. He describes how colors can significantly affect a space's atmosphere. Berkus presents different finishes, such as limewash, high-gloss, and matte, each offering unique ways to enhance a room's appeal, regardless of location or lighting. Reactions from followers range from enthusiasm to skepticism, indicating a broader debate on the aesthetics of dark colors in interior design.
Berkus' post shows rooms that use black walls to make a statement. "Moody and dramatic black walls add so much sophistication," Berkus writes in the caption of his recent post.
In the Beverly Hills slide, the way the black paint is applied in a limewash style creates texture and actually brings light into the space, allowing it to reflect off of the semi-gloss eggshell finish.
Classic matte and satin black walls work just as well to add drama. The Hollywood bedroom has a den-like, cozy feel to it, whereas the Montauk sunroom and Seattle dining space both feel light and airy but grounded.
People were quick to leave their strong opinions on Berkus' love for dark paint colors. "I just did [it] in our bathroom. Loving it," one person commented.
