Contrast with lighter tones<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most impactful techniques in designing with black is to juxtapose it against lighter tones. This can also be done in varying design styles (not just ultra-modern). The interplay between deep black and airy, light shades creates a visual contrast that draws attention to both elements. Whether it\u2019s a sleek ebony sofa in a white-walled living room or matte black hardware against a pale kitchen palette, this approach elevates the overall aesthetic while ensuring that the darkness of black doesn\u2019t overpower the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent remodel by Dotan Trabulsi, owner of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/optimalremodel.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimal Remodeling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, his team incorporated lower black cabinetry.

If unsure, she recommends introducing black in smaller doses-&#8220;think chic black shelves, handles, or a snazzy black faucet.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86062\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86062\" style=\"width: 803px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-86062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1_Black-kitchen-_.jpg\" alt=\"Angled view of a black and wood home kitchen\" width=\"803\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1_Black-kitchen-_.jpg 978w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1_Black-kitchen-_-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1_Black-kitchen-_-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1_Black-kitchen-_-276x150.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1_Black-kitchen-_-553x300.jpg 553w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Kitchen Design NYC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emma, with The Homestyles Group, adds, &#8220;due to black being a natural absorbent of light, avoid using too much where there is insufficient lighting in a space.&#8221; Think small narrow bedrooms, dimly-lit offices, or powder bathrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn&#8217;t to say these rooms won&#8217;t work with black.
