Dark walls can be so gorgeous in a home, highlighting any artwork or fixtures that you hang on them. But they can also be intimidating. Here are some beautiful examples of dark walls, along with a few tips and ideas for using them in your own space.
1. Don’t be afraid to use a dark color in a small space… here they’ve covered this small bathroom in lighter colored artwork for balance. [Photo: Design*Sponge]
2. This bold green paint job includes the ceiling – and a bright white rug on the floor…. again for balance. [Photo: Couture Carrie]
3. If you’re nervous to paint an entire room, try doing one wall like they’ve done in this glamorous bedroom. [Photo: Live Simply]
4. This is the same idea – don’t those white matted frames pop on that bright blue paint color?! [Photo: Laura Winslow Photography]
5. Here, much of the dark wall color is covered with wood tones and plants making it feel easy and natural. [Photo: Sit Read]

7. To balance out a dark color, you don’t necessarily have to use white – bright pops of color work too. [Photo: Design*Sponge]
8. If you have tiling halfway up your bathroom walls, this is the perfect opportunity to try a dark color on the top half of the room. The color they’ve chosen coordinates nicely with the floor tiles. [Photo: House Nerd]
9. A more traditional style room with dark walls… and lots of rounded shapes to soften the overall look. [Photo: imoveisnatv.com]
10. And last but not least, the owners of this home have added molding and painted it navy blue too. Doesn’t it go well with the beautiful rug? I would add some art to the walls for a gorgeous finishing touch! [Photo: Architectural Digest]
