Guest Picks: Chic Black Accents
Sign up for sophistication with ink-hued furnishings, pillows, artwork and more
There is something so chic about classic black accents. In anything from lighting to art, to textiles and furniture, a touch of black helps bring a room together. Sophisticated, bold, simple or elegant — no matter your style, black can help ground a room or take it to the next level.
I have been trying to accessorize with several black accent pieces in my own home for some time now. As I work through each room, incorporating touches of black here and there, I am quickly learning that less is more and that there is a fine line between classy and tacky. Nevertheless, my black accent pieces are here to stay! And I hope you can find room for one of these trendy black items in your own home. — Britt from My Daily Randomness
