Painting walls black
-
If anyone has ever painted their walls black, I've been wondering how it lights up. Is it much more difficult and is there a sense of darkness always in the room? If it does cause some shadowing, what are some good alternatives to painting a room a darker colour aside from black? Thanks!

I painted my bedroom black, once. I don't suggest it. I had a 'vision' I was striving for, and like burgers looking excellent in pictures - but terrible irl - such did my room. It doesn't carry light well. It does have a nice effect from a ceiling light, but overall you always have a sense of being blind, or out in the dark.
Darker shades of other colours work quite nicely however. It darkens the room a bit - without the feeling of shrinking it - or the absence of sight. So go with something that wouldn't contrast too much with your floor and curtains (not dark grey either - it brings a wet cement feel to the room and looks horrid) By darker shade I don't mean navy blue to a light blue - more of a saturated shade inbetween. It's kind of amazing how dark a colour can look that isn't actually dark - or how light a dark colour can look x=
