Creating Vibrant Interiors

This month we turn to Black designers for inspiration on creating rooms that are inspiring and energizing. If you’d like to discover more creators, check out the Black Artists + Designers Guild.

Style with Paint

Walls aren’t just a beautiful backdrop on which to hang art, they set the tone for the entire room. Choose colors that will put a smile on your face, whether in soft pastels or bold jewel tones. It’s easier than ever to get started with easy paint kits you can order online. Check out Clare’s great Painting 101 Guide to get started.

On the bolder side, tomato-red walls by Ariene Bethea make the wall art pop.

Add Plants

Plants add literal life to your room. Fluted leaves, curling tendrils and curvaceous blooms turn any bookcase or table into a design statement. Collect a grouping of small cacti, drape a pathos off a wall shelf, or put some daisies in a Mason jar on the dining table.

For those of us who prefer minimalist or neutral decor, plants are a great way to offset any sterility. In this Manhattan condo designed by Eneia White, the organic lines of the foliage just enhances the elegance of the modern space.

Frame Boldly

We love to help you create beautiful, bold framing designs. Our moulding wall offers 800+ options, ranging from sleek metallics to richly carved wood finishes. You’ll be sure to find something you love.
