Great Color Combination: Black + Blue
When people mention "black and blue" together we always think about bruises. Unless you happen to be one those people who finds bruises beautiful, you probably don't think too often about putting this color combination together. That's too bad; it's a great combination because the colors compliment each other so well and will look right with other shades throughout the house.
The best thing about this color combination is that there are so many different shades of blue to choose from and they all go well with black. You can also play around with different textures of black, changing the shininess or opaqueness, to get a different feel when using this color combination.
You can use black and blue together in both big ways and small ones. Paint the walls of a room one of the colors and then decorate using the other. Mix black and blue furniture in one space. Or get simple items like rugs and curtains that already have both black and blue worked into their design.

It's more common for people to have blue walls than black walls. That way, you can add cool black designs to the area to bring out the blue shade. Here we've got an intricate black headboard pressed up against the wall, letting the blue peek through. Black frames with an open design like this would have the same effect.
The bathroom is a great place to start playing around with this color combination. You can start just by using black and blue towels to see how they change the mood o your space. Play with tiles, bathroom furniture and wall art to find out what shades you like best.
