Dark colors in interiors remain very trendy and are actively used in current design trends. Gray and deep blue walls, although they can convey a sense of seriousness and formality, provide an excellent backdrop for various decorative accents.
თუმცა, ზოგჯერ ამ ფერების დამოუკიდებლად გამოყენება შესაძლოა მოსაწყენად და მკაცრად მოგეჩვენოთ. ამიტომ, ექსპერტების აზრით მნიშვნელოვანია გაანალიზოთ, თუ რა უპირატესობები და ნაკლოვანებები აქვს მუქ ფერებში შეღებილ კედლებს, რათა სწორად შეძლოთ ინტერიერის დაგეგმვა.
Advantages of dark walls
-
Simplified selection of additional colors
Unlike light or pastel tones, almost any additional color pairs well with dark shades—from yellow cushions to red armchairs! Therefore, you only need to worry about the compatibility of the decor with each other and its alignment with the overall style.
-
Perfect backdrop for accents
Dark colors are an excellent tool for creating distinctive accents in an interior. In many cases, with a light background, such contrasts are lost and cannot be perceived as effectively as they are on a dark background.
Dark walls give accents a special emphasis and highlight decorative elements of any style, whether handmade items, contemporary art, or cozy textures. This makes the space feel harmonious and evenly perceived.
-
The right shade expands the space
Despite their advantages, dark colors are not always suitable for every interior style. They work well with contemporary, minimalist, industrial, or Scandinavian designs, where simplicity and cleanliness are emphasized.
However, if you prefer a classic, Provençal, or Renaissance style, dark colors may appear too harsh and disproportionate. In such cases, choosing a pronounced dark tone could hinder the creation of a harmonious space.
-
You can't get to a shore without dark walls, background lighting
When using dark-colored walls, it is very important to ensure sufficient lighting in the interior. Without proper lighting, the background can become heavy and gloomy, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Therefore, it is essential to organize chandeliers, lamps, and additional light sources so that dark walls do not make the room feel overcast. Furthermore, accent lighting plays a significant role in drawing attention to decorative elements and highlighting them effectively.

აქცენტი არასწორ ელემენტზე
When using dark colors, it is important to carefully choose which areas you want to highlight. If only a few walls in the room are dark, this can help visually divide the space or designate certain zones.However, you should avoid using dark colors in areas where attention is not needed, such as behind the television. In such cases, the eye’s focus shifts to what may be perceived as a harsh flaw in the space, creating disharmony.
Negative aspects of dark walls:
-
Dark walls narrow the space.
In most cases, this is true, and therefore it is not worth using rich, deep shades when painting the entire room. In addition, it is better to avoid dark tones in small rooms so as not to create an oppressive feeling.
-
Gray is boring, blue is depressing
Dark colors are sometimes considered boring or depressing tones, especially when they rarely change. If you favor only dark colors in the interior and don’t add bright accents, you may feel the environment is dull and monotonous. Therefore, it is important to introduce lively elements into the design—colorful pillows, plants, textures, and lighting—that will brighten and balance the mood of the space.
