Green plants. Potted plants and indoor trees look even lusher when placed in front of a dark wall. The dark color recedes into the background, creating the feeling of having a mini forest in the room instead of a few plants. Bonus style points if your plants have a sculptural shape, like the topiaries shown here.Large artwork. A single piece of oversize art hung on a dark wall has the most impact — even more than a salon-style grouping. The drama of a deep wall color draws the eye. This works especially well with artwork with a large white mat and a slim black frame.

MatsSimilar to how hair bangs can frame a face and highlight facial features, a mat helps highlight artwork by separating it from the frame and drawing attention to the artwork.A mat isn’t necessary, but most artworks on paper, such as photographs, drawings and watercolors, look best when there’s a border between the edge of the artwork and the frame. Making your piece look its best is one of the goals of framing in the first place. The piece shown here, for instance, wouldn’t look nearly as elegant and finished if it were framed without the mat. It would probably read as too poster-ish.Besides highlighting the artwork, a mat also physically distances and prevents the artwork from sticking to the glass.

1. Show off a picture. If you’re a fan of black-and-white photography, you should become friends with dark wall colors. This Australian hallway designed by Claire Stevens features a wall covered in a matte charcoal-gray paint that seems to recede into the background, allowing the white-matted photo to advance and stand out as a focal point.

Maybe a dark wallpaper or grass cloth on one wall. Mirror on that wall
