I am usually naturally drawn to Light and Airy Spaces, But I've notice lately that my mood has switched over to the Dark Side a bit.
I've been pinning a lot of Dark Masculine and Rustic rooms lately.
Here's a few Examples:

Not all of these rooms are necessarily dark, but they do all have a masculine and industrial look to them, by using natural elements such as; Wicker, Wood, Leather, Burlap, and Metal.
(The Look reminds me of Restoration Hardware a bit).
But What I really love is when this look is paired with White. It brings in a more softer feeling.
I'm not about to go paint all of my walls black, but I would like to incorporate more or these Natural Elements and the Mood of these Rooms into my home a bit.
like these cool masculine pillows. The log side table is neat too.
And I like all of the black and wood paired together here:
Or anything from this store here:
What do you all think of this look?
So I just wanted to mention that I was surprised at all the comments I received on my last post about Picnik closing. I see that you are all just as devastated as I am. I will be researching to find a good replacement for Picnik and I promise to share with you what I come up with. Hope you will do the same.
Don't worry your pretty little heads, We Will get through this.

love the look - both when dark and when the elements are paired with whites. My grandpa always used to say that every room needed a black element to anchor it. And for me that is usually the case. A little something dark goes a long way in making a room. Can't wait to see what "dark side" touches you add to your home!

Me,too! All that moodiness is yummy. I think it' a nice change from all white rooms. Which I still love. But variety is nice.
ReplyDeleteThe dark moody rooms are very pretty. Personally I like the darker colors balanced with lots of white. I love the black, white and wood combo. I gets my creative juicies running.
