If you have a flair for the dramatic and want to make a strong statement, go with black.  The purity of the color speaks volumes, and the elegance of ebony is undeniable.  Decorating with black living room furniture is exciting and intense.  In order to make your decor more powerful, use whites and colors sparingly to create mood and provide relief and contrast.  Today’s new living rooms can be as unique and fascinating as you are.

Start with a room that has white walls and black trim, and add a solid black sofa.  The lines should be sharp and simple.  Next, add two chairs, black with white accents.  Place a white coffee table, long and low, in front of the couch.  Between the two chairs goes a large table, perhaps in a black and white pattern that matches the end tables on either side of the couch.  A black cabinet with glass doors and shelves adds a final touch and provides a way to store and display knick-knacks and collectibles without altering the dynamics.

The window treatments are critical to the overall look of the room.  Bright white blinds with gleaming black curtains keep the theme consistent.  A black corner shelf adds an interesting line to the room, and a black and white rug pulls it all together by providing a focal point.  If you’re going to add a color for some pop, the rug can include it as well.

Color can be added via accessories and accent pieces.  By selecting a single color, you can further define the look of the room without overwhelming the senses.  A red and white glass vase on the black living room furniture can make an artistic statement.  Several objets d'art can be placed strategically on the coffee table and end tables, and your room is complete.

Pictures can be used to add character to the room.  A little greenery with red flowers will blend in nicely.  Such a room will be a conversation piece as guests are mesmerized by its sheer magnificence.  It will be a place to entertain, converse, and share time with friends and family.
