Here are a few shots from the latest project (a renovated flat in Ourense Galicia – the north of Spain) of Spanish interior design firm oito interiores. LOOOVE the black walls!!!
even though i usually drool over the white scandinavian walls, i feel best in dark rooms – they feel cosy, especially during the long cold winters here in alberta. these are lovely. when we buy a place, i am painting my dining area charcoal for sure!
For me, the black wall, even though it's lovely, does not match the chandelier and the green carpet/rug on the first photo. But I love how the sofa accentuated the bed in the last photo. It's a mix and match kinda thing.
I also love the rattan chair – it's unique and it can also be used as a table.
I have to admit, if someone suggested black walls to me, I would think they were mad… But this looks great!? Nowhere near as dark and claustrophobic as I would have imagined!
That's A LOT of black. One wall maybe, but room after room? I'd have to take anti-depressants if I lived there. The Florida girl in me needs something cheerier.

Dark walls usually scare me but it looks pretty good here. It does make the non black items pop a lot more.
