Were you to visit my Pinterest board dedicated to anything and everything home related, you may just think that Lilly Pulitzer herself spilled a colorful cocktail everywhere. Every shade of pink you can imagines, vivid blues, oranges, and oh, all those glorious greens. I don't believe my inner interior decorator is familiar with the term neutral. When it comes to color, I'm a firm subscriber to the theory that more is more.
I've always been iffy on the color black, either in my wardrobe and most certain never in my home decor. I have lots of friends with black furniture and well, it just never really looks good. Frankly, a lot of it looks just, well, unpleasant. However, upon cleaning up my home decor Pinterest board, I noticed I had a number of pins that had black prominently displayed. Much to my surprise...I'm really loving it:
This dalmatian print is very popular in design.
The floral pillow reminds me of my favorite Vera Bradley pattern, Botanica.

The last picture really reminds me of Dorothy Draper and her work for The Greenbrier.
While I am loving this new black design, I'm just not sure if I'd actually put it in my home. It may seem fresh to me right now, but I'm just not sure how well this trend would age. Remember how big brown and turquoise were in the mid-2000s and now feels so dated? I think this may be along those quick fads.
What do you think? Would you decorate with black?
