How to Complement Black Accents with Window Treatments

Black is a powerful color. It’s sophisticated, mysterious, and dramatic. You should use it in moderation and carefully coordinate the rest of the room, including the window treatments. Our team can help you complement black interior accents with the right window treatments.

Using Black Window Treatments

Black adds depth and structure to a room but can easily overpower large areas. If your heart is set on black window treatments, we suggest Pirouette® Sheer Shades so you can enjoy the drama of black without making a room feel gloomy. Another option we love is patterned Designer Roller Shades featuring moody black hues. Black blinds are a fantastic choice for bedrooms or kitchens and are available in wood and faux wood styles. When using blinds in your bedroom, consider layering drapery over them to provide a darker space for sleeping at night. You can match your drapes to the blinds or go a shade lighter or darker to add depth to your windows.

Highlighting Black Interior Accents

When black is a feature in a room, you want the window treatments to bring energetic contrast. Since black is a neutral color through and through, it’s an easy match for nearly any other color on the spectrum.

Use muted earthy shades, like off-white and beige, to create a calm, cozy feel. Use Provenance® Woven Wood Shades to add dynamic texture and organic appeal to black-accent rooms. You can also use black as a grounding backdrop for dynamic colors, like vibrant colors or deep jewel tones. Use Vignette® Roman Shades or Carole Fabrics™ Roman Shades to bring a dramatic, glamorous aesthetic to rooms featuring black accessories.

Monochromatic color schemes are always a hit. You must ensure the room has balance when using a statement-making color like black. Black has an extensive range, from inky tones to shades of light gray. Your walls, window treatments, and trim are the three most important spots in a room because they draw the most attention. Choose three different tones for those elements, and then work in accessories using any shades of black you love.

Be Mindful of Undertones

Just as numerous shades of white can be warm or cool, black also has undertones that can make or break a color scheme. If you’re going for a stark, dramatic aesthetic, choose shades of black with deep charcoal or graphite undertones. For a softer, more inviting appearance, use blacks with hints of brown or blue.
