10 Favorite Rooms with a Touch of Black

a touch of black in the entry foyer marble floor — Suzanne Kasler

Happy Monday, chic readers! We hope you had an amazing weekend. Today, we are channeling fall (even though it was 93 degrees yesterday) and celebrating a touch of black.

a touch of black desk in the office — Tucker & Marks

Nothing grounds a room and creates chic contrast quite like the right amount of black.

From black cabinetry, molding and trim contrasted with white furnishings,

a touch of black in steel doors — McGill Design Group- Plum Furniture

To black-lined cabinets that add a hint of the hue,

a touch of black in art and floor lamp in living room of Alison Cayne — One Kings Lane

To stunning neutral spaces with just a touch of the color that every single room must have a hint of, a touch of black is one our favorite ways to create instant style in a home.

a touch of black in the kitchen with black pendants — Serena & Lily

But something unexpected like these ceiling details is equally as incredible.

a touch of black in the kitchen with The Fox Group — The Fox Group

From a beyond stunning range,

bedroom with black 4 poster bed — Serena & Lily

To a lovely canopy bed (and floors!),

Do you agree that every room needs a bit of this favorite shade?

Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day. We always love seeing you here!

Feels Like falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey Beach house book

I am so excited that my new novel Feels Like Falling releases on April 28!

More About Feels Like Falling…

From “the next major voice in Southern fiction” (Elin Hilderbrand) and the bestselling author of the Peachtree Bluff series comes an odd couple tale of friendship that asks just how much our past choices define our happiness.

In her warmest, wittiest, and wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag essential for Harvey fans—and for a new generation of readers.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll probably say it again: Fabulous furnishings are nothing without stunning photography. Perfectly filled bookcases look off balance, ideally proportioned chairs look too small… The list goes on and on and on. But, in the hands of a skilled professional, each room looks just as chicly amazing as it does in real life–and in the mind of the designer who dreamed it.

This is undoubtedly a tricky space to style. We never would have put this together, but it’s fabulous!

The femininity of the furnishings pair beautifully with more masculine dark wood and horns. Perfect for every member of the family!

kitchen Alyssa Rosenheck Photography — Redo Homes – Alyssa Rosenheck Photography

Gold and silver mix so well in this kitchen. This is statement lighting at its finest. And that range hood? So good!

A shock of blue lacquer is fabulous against this neutral backdrop.

All white is just right in this luxe kitchen.

And wow…

Alyssa Rosenheck Photography kitchen — Redo Home – Alyssa Rosenheck Photography

We love everything about this kitchen! Isn’t that tiny desk the best use of space? And the wine becomes a decoration. So lovely!

We would never have thought to put a pendant in a bedroom, but it works so well in this spot. It’s cozy and charming.

Alyssa Rosenheck Photography bedroom — Redo Home

What a fun way to learn your numbers! This bedroom is too, too adorable!

bathroom Alyssa Rosenheck Photography — Redo Home –

This soaking tub pairs extraordinarily with these beautiful rugs.

The juxtaposition of the raw wood ceiling with the crystal chandelier is gorgeous. The entire space makes a one-of-a-kind statement.

And, thanks to the lens of Alyssa Roseheck Photography that captured it all so well, we are sure you agree. We hope your day is wonderful!

Thanks so much to everyone who has been so supportive of my Peachtree Bluff series. If you haven’t read Slightly South of Simple or The Secret to Southern Charm, pick up your copies before The Southern Side of Paradise (NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!) releases May 7, 2019!

If we were going to describe this room in one room it would be luxurious. Soft pink feels so sweetly relaxing.
