I do like dark walls sometimes and I've seen some navy and charcoal that I might do in the future. But black is going just a little too far for me. My brother had black bedroom walls when he was a sullen teenager and they looked nothing like the nice rooms in these pictures but I still can't get past it.

black for accents, but a whole room needs a deep color other than black.

I love deep colours but I find black too harsh. Midnight navy, chocolate brown, jungle green, aubergine all work. But black is just too depressing in large amounts.

I recently painted one wall in my kitchen/ dining room black and love it.

I just did a client’s dining room in black, dark with a slight blue undertone. The room has lots of windows(view is beyond gorgeous) and lots of white woodwork. The room is stunning.

Better than average SPAM attempt. Still not a Design Dilemma.

I use black walls as an accent.

I think it really depends on many things and there is no right answer.

Sophie, I don't understand your comment. Please explain further. Thanks.
