Will you paint your bedroom wall in black?

no, i don't like to paint my bedroom black. it would be very gloomy and sad staying inside a black room. darker color makes anything look smaller. i would like to paint my room with lighter shades. it would be light to my feeling and i feel happy and fresh with the lighter shades. if i had the money, i would paint it anytime i like!

I am an interior designer and this topic interests me a lot. Yes, there is black paint available in the market and there's nothing wrong with painting a room black as long as you have reasons for doing so. But you have to remember that black is the absence of all colors so it would be hard to lit an entirely black room. You should also be aware of the effects it can cause the user of the room. For your friend who is thinking of doing it for a dorm room, I do not think it would be such a good idea. First of all, it may affect her studies. A black room is not inducive to studying and s/he would have a hard time lighting her room at night when s/he has to review or do homeworks. But if s/he is sure that she can manage living with such a room, then there's be no problem. But for me, I prefer limiting that kind of concept to commercial interiors and those that people do not really spend most of their time in. As for my wall color, I am a sucker for basic colors so I painted it dark beige. It was the result of me mixing brown,yellow, red and black (!). It's neat and kinda boring but I opt to provide colors for my room through my furniture and accessories. This is so when I get bored of a certain color, I just change my furniture or accessories without really having to repaint my whole room again.

Hi, sasalove. The wall color of my bedroom is white. All walls in our house are painted white. Not my choice, as it is my parents' house I love black though. I think it's classy with the right accessories. A black-walled bedroom would be interesting. But before I color my bedroom walls with black, I have to make sure that I have the right furniture and decors for it. Have a nice day!

i hate to paint black colour in my bed room.main reason is if i am watching a horror movie,and then go to bed for sleeping.how terrible it is?i can't imagine such a thing.also i am thinking that black colour is not suitable for any rooms or out side.

I think black is not a nice color for bedroom, for any room if you ask me. In my country, we also believe that black color gives out negative energy and we don't use black color when it comes to functions. We don't wear a black color dress to any function like engagement or wedding. We also avoid having black color pets at home.

I actually did see a black room and liked it. The wall was painted black but the embellishment and furnitures are mostly contrast of that color. She had a zibra like ( stripped )bed while the lampshades are all in white. The beauty of it is that there are like star accents on the ceiling that makes it more classy and in style. Maybe I can change it as long as there new furnitures that comes with it to match the wall. LOL! Happy myLotting!

I will never do that.Well it is individual taste.My bedroom is very light beige in color.

I will not paint the bedroom wall black as it is an indication of darkness.Also because the climate is hot and sunny over here if i paint the wall black it will attract a lot of heat and i cannot sleep.My wall right now is painted in a cream color and it is very pleasant to look.Now since we are going to get a new home there is no need to change the color.

I do not think I would consider painting my room black. I visited a family friend whose rooms were painted black and he had a large fish tank in the floor of his living room. It was the creepiest thing I ever saw and I never went back to his house again.

Why on earth would anyone want to paint an entire room black? I can not imagine what that would do to one's emotional health. Not a good idea.

Definitely not and never. It would make me feel like staying in a dark cave or in a deep well. I am sure I would be having nightmare in bedroom with such color. Not comfy at all. But a bit of black color as a complementary addition would be just great. Especially in retro black and white room design, sometimes they put black bed cover with white print, or black and white painting on the wall for center of interest purpose. I use ivory and pale lilac for my bedroom. Somehow it does make therapy effect to me. Yes, I change my wall color periodically, once a year usually. I'd prefer light and cheering color to boost my mood, and don't like dark color.

I will never dare paint my room black. The room should be a place for resting and for solemnity of the mind. I do not think I will ever find peacefulness if I will have it in black.

Haha lol. Sounds like your friend is a funny person! Well of course there is black paint available in the market. Architechture is so much more developed nowadays, you can see paints in the market with colours you've never seen before. No, I wouldn't paint my room black lol. It is eccentric (spelling?), but not for me. The room would be so dark and scary. Not to mention that I live in tropical country and dark colours attracts mosquitos lol.

It seems that your friend's idea is unpractical. I would preper the pink or warm color in my bedroom to keep me feel warm and cheer up. Facing a black wall maybe could make me become glommy,haha.....

I love the sentiment, but wouldn't want any black walls myself. Would make the room feel like it was closing in on me I think. But if it suits her, more power to her if she really wants to do it. My bedroom is plain old beige... I rent so have no choice in the matter. I prefer greens, blues and grays and would probably have a combination of those if I owned my home! I do get bored easily with my home(s) so I might change it often as my moods changed over the years.....

Likely not but I'm curious how it would look.

i won't paint my wall in black.that's too dark!

Hi there, I would never paint my bedroom wall black, I think it horrible to enter a room that all wall are black, not to mention it's my bedroom, I afraid I might have nightmare every night after I paint my room black. My bedroom wall are white, I would have them painted white every few years. Is your friend really want to paint her room black? I dont think it's a good idea. Good day!

i think i like pink more,that looks so warm and like home!one day if i have my own house,i would change wall colour of my home with my family together,i guess that would be happiest thing in this world!

I don't think I would paint my wall completely black, but I think if she was to have just one wall in that color as an accent, and the rest completely off white and decorate with some abstract art, I think it would look very chic and modern. She would have to bypass the fluorescent stars/animals though...during the day that would look kinda weird. My bedroom wall right now is all white, because I rent an apartment and I have no desire to paint it back to white when I move out next year. I'm happy with it though...white walls are clean (assuming) and simple
