Fade to Black: 13 Subtle, Stylish Ways to Get in the Spirit of All Hallows’ Eve

October 28, 2019

Wearing a lot of black will never be thought of as bold. Chic, maybe, but not bold. Black in the home, though? That’s a different story. Black furniture, black painted walls, black floors—those choices are bold, especially in an era when Scandi sensibility and white interiors are de rigueur.

These days, and especially this week, we can’t get enough of moody interiors. If you’re feeling timid about going to the dark side, try incorporating one of these 13 decorative items and household basics, all in pitch-black, into your life. We promise, they’ll look chic and bold in your home.
