black & gold ... but put in a modern context

When you make a mini-commitment to dark paint like this, just remember you'll have to prime the heck out of it if you ever want a change.

The deep eggplant focall wall pops! The mix of furnishings and finishes adds a new contemporary dimension to an otherwise traditional space.

This mirror is positioned to reflect the windows, which brings the view into the room. When used to reflect the view or a particularly attractive feature of the room, a mirror becomes an art piece.

Mirrors over the sofa aren't unusual, but this one just works. The dark wall offsets the bright reflection, and the furniture's colors and classic lines make for a look that's clean, but not boring.

The color combination is beautiful here - a deep purple wall with cream and lavender surrounding it. Think about your color choices carefully when adding an accent wall.

With all of the intense color in this room, the table's glossy white offers just the right balance. I like, too, that the straight Parsons lines are contrasted by the slightly plump cushions on the sofa.
