Surprisingly versatile and an exciting colour for sophisticated interiors, black paint may not be on everyone’s design radar. But at Wallpaper It, we embrace the unusual, and our black paint is designed to add an elegant flourish as an accent tone for smart, contemporary décor. Black paint also has a big role to play in older cottages, as it is often used to colour exposed wooden ceiling beams and wooden lintels over historic inglenook fireplaces. In a modern kitchen, a glossy black can have a real presence as a signature flourish on drawers, cabinets and cupboards.
