Trend: Dark Drapery

If simple but bold design statements appeal to you, dark drapery may be the perfect addition to your latest cozy living space. This small detail in color choice can draw attention to a stunning window and tie in black accents that may otherwise seem out of place in a bright room. Eclectic Elements breaks down some of the best examples of this trend and how to achieve the chicest look.

I’ll let you in on a little secret…the key to doing black drapes the right way is to pair them with white walls.  This ensures that they are the exclamation point in the room (and also that they don’t get too dark and dreary) Another way to achieve black drape success is to pair them with black and white graphic prints, metallics, and if you do color, only do tiny pops of color- or your room may end up looking like a bad black and white college dorm room.

 These black drapes would perfectly set off the sleek and modern pieces in our Eclectic Elements studio, don't you think!?
