Black — forever chic, sleek and sexy — this tone is always easy to incorporate into any room. Add luster to your space by lacquering it, give black a contemporary look by using it on natural materials like leather and stones such as slate and granite, and keep things traditional by incorporating black through old world elements like wrought iron and porcelain. Never not stylish — it will sophisticate any space immediately. Black is best contrasted with white for a Deco vibe, red for a modern feel and emerald green for classic glamour. Men love it for its modern sensibility while women love the classic side of the hue. Couples who love black tend to be the most fashion conscious of the color bunch — lovers of all things modern and urban.
