Modern houses are known for their geometric details and use of earthy design. If you are a fan of neutral colours, natural accessories or the sunlight that peeks through your glass windows, you landed on the right page! Neutral tones are commonly chosen such that natural light can be utilized. White is a common classic colour picked by many. It can be the most flexible colour you can have for your home, however, there is more to other colours than meets the eye. You heard it – there are other classic colours such as elegant black.
Many of us are afraid to try the colour black for its dark connotation. When you think about a black house, what immediately comes to your mind? You might be thinking of a house without the reach of sunlight or a living room with a thick, dark drape. You might have also thought about a house straight out of a fictional, thriller movie. It may look mysterious and abstract but, black can boost the beauty of space and material. In a fact, black can be as flexible as white as it can make other aspects stand out.
On this page, you will find that the dark hue of black can make you fall in love with a place at first sight! Great projects from experienced designers prove that nothing can go wrong with the use of this colour. Modern black houses are a thing and they should be made known!
