But really, did it\never go out of style? It\u2019s a classic that can make a dramatic statement or\nsimply complement its surroundings. What the little black dress is to a\nwardrobe, a black finish is to home d\u00e9cor. It works beautifully with what\u2019s\ntrending, like saturated colors and earth tones, and it can be an integral part\nof any style. From lighting fixtures to faucets and hardware to appliances,\nblack finishes bring a refined and elegant look to your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_decor.png\" alt=\"Black fixtures in an owner's bath\" class=\"wp-image-15588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_decor.png 650w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_decor-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Complement Most D\u00e9cor Styles <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Black finishes can complete your art deco or vintage look. Or they can be avant-garde or 1930s-inspired. They can also bring a timeless feel to your contemporary d\u00e9cor, like <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kichler.com\/kichler\/products\/indoor-lighting\/chandeliers\/1--tier-chandeliers\/capitol-hill-6-light-chandelier-black-72d52c80\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kichler\u2019s Capitol Hill chandelier<\/a>. A light fixture with a black finish can even add unpolished authenticity to your modern farmhouse style. Even small accents like dishes, plant stands and curtain rods with black finishes can bring eye-catching sophistication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_mixmatch.png\" alt=\"Black light fixtures n a kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-15602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_mixmatch.png 650w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_mixmatch-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mix and Match<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Black is so classic because it\u2019s not warm, but it\u2019s not cold. It can be dramatic or elegantly subdued. Another great option is to try mixing black finishes with other metals, from chrome to brushed nickel, bronze and everything in between. Black hardware and faucets with bronze lighting fixtures create a luxe look that\u2019s warm and welcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_everything.png\" alt=\"Owner's bedroom with black ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-15590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_everything.png 650w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blog_everything-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Goes with Everything<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Black can pair with white for a stunning contrast or even with a rich color for a luxe look. For example, <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kichler.com\/kichler\/products\/indoor-lighting\/pendants\/drum-pendants\/birkleigh-4-light-pendant-black-1f0348ab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kichler\u2019s Birkleigh pendants<\/a> with their simple geometric pattern and etched glass would add drama to a dining room. Or, want to give a powder blue bath some stopping power? Put black-finish sconces on the wall and go with black-finish hardware. Patterns, textures, and natural materials also work beautifully with black finishes. Think at-home spa or Italian-inspired outdoor space.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black is on trend as the new neutral! But really, did it ever go out of style?
