How to Decorate With Black Carpet
- 1). Hang curtains in the room to contrast with the black carpet. If you're using black and white as your color scheme, white curtains are a complementary choice, as are white curtains with black stripes. Other colors that will complement black carpet include tan or silver.
- 2). Include a sofa in the room in the same color family as the curtains. A white sofa will look striking in a room with black carpet and white drapes; a gray couch will complement a black-carpeted room with silver curtains.
- 3). Add a chair in the corner that fits the color scheme. If you want to include bright colors in the room, a kelly green or cherry red chair will pop against black carpet. If you're sticking with a black and white theme, a gray chair can serve as a focal piece.
- 4). Place an area rug in the center of the room for a break in texture from the black carpet and to further emphasize other colors in the room. A woven beige rug is particularly eye-catching, while a pink rug will add a burst of color.
- 5). Place a small table on top of the area rug. A coffee table made of wood that is painted white will provide dramatic contrast to a room with black carpet, even if other colors are included in the decor scheme.
- 6). Add a centerpiece to the table that matches the table's size and introduces more color to the room. A silver centerpiece made of synthetic leaves and flowers would be an especially bold choice.
