Would you, could you?


Would you paint walls black at your house?


If you had asked me the same question five years ago. I would have bristled at the thought.
That would stem from my memory as a very young child of my uncle's black room.


At the time, I lived at my grandparent's with my parents and uncle. He moved his bedroom to a shoebox of a room that was meant to be a workroom or office that was away from all of the other rooms.
He painted the walls black.


The size of the room, lack of windows and his hippie posters made it super creepy to a little kid.


Now I would relish the chance to paint the right room black.


To make it work, it helps to have natural light but it is not necessary as you can create a "nightime" room that is glamorous without it.
The secret is to break up the black with architectural detail, furniture or art.


So... tell me would you?
