If you’ve been looking for a sleek and exciting new way to decorate your home, try turning to matte black décor as a solution. There’s nothing quite like a smooth surface to accentuate your minimalist design, and bring sophistication into your overall space. While high gloss finishes were once en vogue, the look of matte furnishings is understated and refined. From your bathroom to your living room, here are a few ways to decorate with black matte this season.

Black shelving units and marble walls: Try redecorating your bathroom with streamlined and slender black shelves to store all your towels and shampoo bottles. Meanwhile, a white porcelain sink and neutral marble walls all help to pull your overall design together flawlessly.

Chic bathroom sinks and matching bathtub: Other than shelving, replacing your standard ivory tub and sink can help to usher matte black into your bathroom. The look of a black matte basin and a coordinating freestanding tub also help to bring the design aesthetic to life.

Matte walls and an ornate fireplace: To truly incorporate the look of black matte décor into your living room, paint a statement wall in a rich black shade. For a finishing touch, an intricately detailed black fireplace is the way to go. Contrast your overall décor with a brown leather armchair and ottoman, for a luxurious feel.
