I've always found black interiors luxurious and ever since I saw Tim Neve's stylish home office (post here) I have continually been inspired by the sophisticated look this colour brings to a room. Using black as a scheme's base colour is certainly brave, however, these images show that it's not a colour to be afraid of using, rather, it's one to be embraced. Black acts as a perfect backdrop to bright accents (8, 9 + 10), can often make spaces seem larger (5) and always adds a touch of hotel glamour. Would you go for a black scheme?
