Black is a bold choice in home decor, but when done right, it exudes sophistication and elegance. Embracing the allure of black paint can turn any room into a captivating space with depth and style. Selecting the perfect shade of black, however, requires careful consideration. At Southwestern Paint in Houston, Texas, we’re thrilled to offer Benjamin Moore’s standout black hues to help you make a statement that’s both timeless and chic.
Intense and velvety, Black Panther brings a sense of luxury to any space. With a depth that evokes the richness of nightfall, this shade is ideal for rooms or accents meant to captivate. When you’re looking to add that extra layer of drama, Black Panther transforms walls into striking canvases of bold sophistication.
With its cool, gray-black undertone, Raccoon Fur is the go-to for creating a sophisticated, understated look. This shade complements spaces where depth is desired without the starkness of pure black, making it perfect for cabinetry, accent walls, and details that need a subtle touch of refinement.
Named after the sleek gemstone, Onyx delivers a deep, pure black with warmth, making it ideal for both modern and classic designs. Whether used on a front door, as an exterior accent, or on an interior wall, Onyx commands attention with a polished, elegant presence.
Balancing between black and charcoal, Iron Mountain is a versatile, rich hue that’s particularly fitting for minimalist and industrial-inspired spaces. Its subdued undertone softens the boldness of black, making it a fantastic choice for spaces seeking both modernity and warmth.
For those who appreciate dark shades with a bit of depth, Deep Space brings in a hint of blue undertone, offering a black that’s dramatic yet gentle. This shade is ideal for adding atmosphere to rooms without overwhelming them, perfect for cozy reading nooks or feature walls in open spaces.
As the name implies, Black Ink is inspired by the deep richness of ink itself, providing a sleek and contemporary look. It’s the ideal choice for those wanting a refined, modern edge—whether on walls, trims, or furniture accents.
Black is more than a statement—it’s a tool for creating depth and interest in your space. Here’s how to make the most of black in your interiors:
Pair with Crisp Whites: Black and white are a classic duo. Combine black shades with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White or Chantilly Lace for a high-contrast, modern look that feels both fresh and timeless.
Add Warmth with Natural Tones: Balance black’s boldness by incorporating wooden elements, beige, and tan tones. This creates a warm, inviting ambiance that keeps the space from feeling too stark.
Use Metallic Accents: Bring in metallics like gold, brass, or silver to add a layer of sophistication. These elements pop against black, adding a touch of luxury that’s perfect for contemporary or traditional spaces.
