Dark colors are great for creating a sense of luxury and intimacy as well as a strong impact. Inky hues work perfectly in both snugs and classically proportioned living rooms because they immediately anchor the space and infuse it with elegance.
Combining darker colors with texture, such as this linen-effect milk chocolate wallpaper, creates a wonderfully cocooning space. Floor-length curtains in an even deeper shade, such as charcoal or squid ink, will heighten the sense of drama.
