With Valentine's Day only a week away, why not plan an extended staycation and lounge around with your sweetie in a super sleek and sexy space. Take a cue from what's haute and happening in the world of design and cozy up when the lights go down and there's nobody around. Nothing says "come hither" like inky walls, velvet loveseats, and flickering candlelight for two...However, to keep things romantic and far from morose, paint the ceilings and adjacent moldings in a light and bright tone. Unless you're completely going for that cavernous dungeon look, I'd stick to white tinted with a shade of your accent color. Maybe a pinch of pink if you're really in the mood ;D
Ahhhhh, love is in the air, can't ya just feel it??

i die!! darks walls emit this kind of sexy, mysterious feel that i absolutely love! how do you get it so it`s not tooo dark though? i`m always afraid that i won`t be able to find things. is this living room appropriate only?
Julie I adore these dramatic spaces. The fabrics and rugs are wonderful!

Although I'm totally a white-walls, white-floors kind of girl, I've always had a crush on dark colored rooms...so sexy. I love the idea of painting a room or two in a dark color, as I did with my previous bedroom, as long as the natural light is good.

Hi honey,
Thank you so much for your comments on my blog, it means alot to me!
Have to say you've got yourself a new follower, I love your blog as well and the ideas and looks you put together. If only we could change the look of our rooms every week, then we could accommodate all the wonderful inspiration we see.
Either that or I need to own a 40 roomed house, hehe!

Great photos! But in my opinion it looks good only on pictures and personally I wouldn't enjoy living in such a dark place.. I like light colours!
I'm following you now, would be so happy if you could follow back ^^

I just had dark wallpaper installed. Hmh. To be honest I thought the room would look smaller, but it didn't. It's just plain gorgeous.
