Colors play a huge role in the ambience of a room. Although, dark tones can make spaces look small and light shades can give a sense of openness, if balanced carefully they can make your decor look complete. So whether you like it bold, minimal or glamorous, we have some dark furniture styling ideas that will instantly give life to your dull and boring room.

* Light and Dark Tones

If your furniture upholstery is dark, always choose other elements in lower or contrast tones. Never repeat the bold colour too much in the same room. Even for your furniture, you could place contrast shades in the same room, if you follow a similar pattern with decor and accessories.

* Flooring

Carpets add depth and warmth to a room. A light pastel or a beige rug looks sharp again dark furniture. Always store an extra option of a luxury carpet at home for a festive look at parties and gatherings.

* Wall Color

White walls and rugs look sharp against dark furniture and add more light to the room. Vary the shades of white in your accessories and curtains to bring more depth to the room.

* Windows

* Accessorize

Dress your home with classy glass lanterns, candle stands and interesting light fixtures to break the monotony of dark colours. Natural elements like planters and flowers will also make a difference to your decor and can give a calming effect to your home.
