Black bedroom furniture ideas are an important choice to make. Buying bedroom furniture is a big investment and one of the key decisions when designing a bedroom, so it's important to get it right and to consider longevity.

While decorating with black can be seen as daunting by some, it's actually a very versatile hue as it is essentially a neutral that can work well with any color, which makes it a practical and stylish choice for bedroom furniture. 

If you're planning on neutral bedroom ideas or with white, off-white, grey or beige walls, then black bedroom furniture can be a great way to bring structure and create focal points throughout the room, plus can work equally well incorporated into a more colorful scheme for a bolder look. Alternatively it can bring a chic and contemporary edge to a calming pastel scheme.

'Black brings drama, interest and depth – it elevates neutrals and pale colors,' says create of chalk paint and color expert Annie Sloan .

1. Choose black furniture with white walls for a luxurious scheme

Decorating with black and white is a brilliant way to achieve a smart and sophisticated look, especially when used in their pure forms as part of a high contrast scheme.

'This client wanted their bedroom to feel like some of the high end European hotels they've stayed in and all of their inspiration images were high contrast, mostly black and white rooms,' explains interior designer Corine Maggio of this black and white bedroom idea. 

'Their bedroom is relatively small but I wanted it to feel grand which was why I selected a four poster bed. It's doesn't take up any additional floor space than a regular bed but demands attention by the vertical volume. 

'Black was an easy decision because we knew we wanted white walls and high contrast. To draw further attention to the bed, white bedding was the obvious choice. Plus, it supported the hospitality feel we were working towards.'

2. Pair black furniture with beige for a cozy yet chic look

Decorating with neutrals like taupe is a wonderful way to bring coziness and warmth to a bedroom. While taupe and beige are often associated with country bedroom ideas, when paired with black bedroom furniture the shades can look brilliant in modern bedroom ideas.

'We used this restored vintage credenza in a black finish (from Chairish) to ground the otherwise serene, taupe primary suite,' say the team at Kobel + Co of this stylish space.

If you're looking for ways to liven up a white bedroom then a sculptural black bed is a great way to create an eye-catching focal point while keeping the space neutral. 

'We painted the walls bright white and the trim a jet black for a fresh look with great contrast. We made a statement with the bed and solidified the black and white theme with the Aztec baskets hung above the bed,' says Heather K. Bernstein, owner and master interior designer at Heather K. Bernstein Interior Design of this scheme.

4. Bring definition to a grey bedroom

Grey bedroom ideas can run the risk of feeling flat and lifeless if they're decorated in the same shade of grey. Adding in black furniture is an easy way to ground the scheme and create tonal interest while keeping to a monochrome look.  

Here a headboard with a black frame and a black side table are teamed with dark wood shelving, charcoal stools and a charcoal bedroom mirror to create a multi-layered grey scheme.

5. Choose black bedroom storage

Bedroom storage ideas including closets are a key part of any bedroom design as they are usually the largest piece of furniture you will need to purchase. With this in mind it can be useful to opt for a design in a neutral color like black which will easily integrate with new wall or floor color should the room need to evolve and be redecorated.

In this simple bedroom design Sean Anderson , the black closet brings depth to the neutral scheme and is balanced with a large piece of wall art and a sculptural black ceiling light.

6. Pair simple black furniture with colorful accents

Part of the appeal of black bedroom furniture is that it can be paired with multiple accent colors, so when it comes to bedroom art ideas and finishing touches like cushions the options are endless.  

'Even with a simple, high-contrast black and white bedroom, I like to inject a little color,' says interior designer Melinda Mandell of this project. 'The backdrop of this Portola Valley, California bedroom is serene: crisp white bedding, an ebonized carved bed, and blackened nightstands. The colored accents, which give a punch of energy, are a vermilion mohair bolster pillow, and a commissioned painting by San Francisco Bay Area artist, Tina Vaughn .'

7. Bring texture with ebonized wood

Decorating with natural materials like wood is a wonderful way to create soothing and sustainable sleepspaces plus the varied grain will bring beautiful texture, perfect for rustic bedroom ideas.

Ebonized furniture – made from light wood stained to look like darker wood – is everywhere right now and is becoming increasingly popular with those looking to create a chic contemporary look with an earthy, organic feel.  

'A lovely antique waxed ebonized chest of drawers adds character to this calm space, while a ticking stripe armchair, woven bench and chunky textiles soften the scheme,' says Emma Thomas, decorating editor of Homes & Gardens magazine.

Elongated headboard ideas are a striking design feature which can bring a sleek, contemporary look to a bedroom and we're seeing them everywhere at the moment. 

In this space the striking black headboard is softened with drawers from Arteriors in a light oak finish and brass hardware, while the oversized, sculptural bedroom lighting ideas in white help balance the dominant shade.

9. Pair simple furniture with bold wallpapers

If you're thinking of introducing a statement bedroom wallpaper then opting for simple, pared-back bedroom furniture will help let the beautiful paper take the lead. 

Here, a Tana Grisaille wall mural idea, from Ananbois is paired with a Harlosh bedside table in black stained ash from Pinch which compliments the monochrome design, while the ochre linen headboard helps bring essential warmth and coziness to the space.  

10. Bring a traditional feel with antique furniture

Decorating with antiques is a wonderful way to bring personality into a bedroom. If you have an empty corner, why not use it to display a statement cabinet or sideboard as demonstrated in this scheme by VSP interiors featuring a beautiful black lacquered chinoiserie cabinet?

'I find that antiques have a timeless quality that is difficult to achieve with most modern pieces, and the depth that they give to a scheme provide unparalleled comfort,' says Henriette von Stockhausen, founder of VSP Interiors . When buying furniture, antique pieces can look great in contemporary properties, and vice versa, so don't be afraid to match the period of your home.

'My approach with clients is to encourage them to mix pieces from different countries, styles and periods, if they are comfortable doing so,' advises Henriette. 'The truth is that often the more contrived and forced an interior is, the less successful it is. The last thing anyone wants is to live in a museum.'

11. Make a feature of your black bedroom furniture

(Image credit: Annie Sloan)

Rather than opt for plain black furniture designed to merge into the background, why not choose unique pieces that double as works of art?

Here a vintage chest of drawers and closet have been transformed with a lick of Annie Sloan's chalk paint and stencil detailing, then they have been finished with a coat of her pearlescent glaze to create beautifully decorative pieces that conjure the look of pearl-inlaid furniture at a fraction of the price. 

Is black furniture good for a bedroom?

Black bedroom furniture is a bold and versatile choice which can be used to create all sorts bedroom looks from luxurious and chic to laid-back and rustic.

Some find black daunting to decorate with as it is a powerful shade, but, being a pure pigment, black can actually be an easy color to incorporate into a bedroom scheme as it will pair with nearly any hue on the color wheel.

Black furniture a good way to bring structure and depth to a a monochrome bedroom with white, grey or beige walls, or you could try pairing it with a bolder color such as yellow for a more vibrant look. 

If you're thinking of black bedroom furniture, whether it's a statement headboard or staple chest of drawers, think about a choosing material that has texture to help bring interest to the scheme. 

How do you balance a black room?

To balance a black room think about introducing lighter tones such as whites and greys to help brighten the space. Adding in plenty of texture through fabrics and furnishings will help the space feel cozy and welcoming, this can be particularly important for living rooms and bedrooms.

Warm orange and red tones, as well as metallics such as brass and gold, can be a good way to soften a black room, while pastel hues like soft pink can also work well to bring a chic and feminine feel. 

Decorating with plants will instantly bring life to a black room, plus, a well-thought out lighting scheme that features plenty of ambient lighting is essential for creating a warm and inviting mood in a black bedroom.

Black bedroom decor might not always be everyone’s cup of morning tea or bedtime cocoa, but maybe we can change the minds of nonbelievers. Black bedrooms don’t have to be a dark and dingy affair, or feel closed in; black painted walls can be the backdrop to a much more vibrant set of coloured accessories. An all black bedroom furniture ensemble brings a slick look to a sleep space, which can be edged in cool modern lighting solutions, and complemented by decadent wallpapers. Alternating black and white walls or furniture pieces makes for a fresh monochrome aesthetic, which looks great warmed through with wood accents. Find inspiration for all this and more right here.

Create an inverted art gallery. Black and white photographic prints and paintings are an ideal accessory for a black room. Art galleries may typically present these on white walls but a black display wall looks twice as striking.

Keep it simple. An all black bedroom suits minimalist bedroom furniture, with clean linear shape.

Black makes a perfect backdrop. When walls are knocked back in black, you can go wild with colourful accessories, like this tricolour light installation. Black also makes a good base for standout furniture pieces like this unique painted bed.

Reflect light into dark coloured rooms with mirrors. Situate a stripe of mirror behind one or both bedside units. A floor to ceiling strip of glass will go a long way in bouncing extra natural light around your interior.

Light it up. If you’re going to have a black bedroom then you have to consider lighting as part of the plan. Install too little illumination and you might find yourself left in the shade. LED strip lights present the perfect solution for edging furniture; attach them along the perimeter of the headboard and around the bed base for a truly inviting and cosy look. Hang a modern chandelier low for extra drama.

Borrow light – and colour. This bedroom is opened up at the back by having a glass wall ensuite bathroom. This can contribute extra daylight via the bathroom window, or it can just be a way to introduce another colour. In this case the open ensuite adds a glowing woodtone vista to the scene.

If flat black feels to stark to you, then consider a textured feature wall. Don’t forget to throw some illumination over it to really pick out that detail. Keep the rest of the scheme white and woodtone so as not to overpower the strength of the dark wall.

Rich rustic. Black and rich woodtone make an ideal colour narrative for a rustic bedroom scheme. Bring in a chunky black metal pendant light and some natural woven baskets to shape the theme.

Fashion a headboard feature wall out of black storage cabinets. These black slab fronted units appear like a contemporary panelled wall behind the platform bed.

Wire up the wardrobe. Another way to get lots of light into the back of a dark room is by installing a closet with glass doors. By day, the glass will reflect natural light from the window. By night, the closet can be a lightbox, where LED strip lights glow from the garment rails and shelving. Edge other shelves in the room too, for an all around glow.

Go green. Live greenery will soften a dark bedroom decor scheme and breathe life where there is shade.

You can push the green theme a little further by bringing in coloured furniture, like this plush green fabric bedstead.

A little splash of white will go a long way. Thin white electrical wires of a modern pendant light scribble luminously across a subtly patterned black wall here. Slender white bedsides trim the baseline.

These circular bedroom pendant lights hang like moons in a pitch black sky. A red stool and blue ottoman break up the neutral scheme.

Hit the sheets in a black and blue room. This black bedroom has been dressed with a blue bed set. As the bed is such a massive item in the room, changing out the colour of the bedclothes will completely change your colour scheme – you could have a new look every week. Check out the beautifully warming stripe of wood shelving across this cool slatted black headboard wall too. Illuminate a slatted wall along the ceiling line to pick out the detail, and hang a modern chandelier to layer up the look.

Draw inspiration from art. If you find a particularly striking piece that you’d love to display in the room, then let its colours inspire the decor. No need to paint a whole wall to match, a small colour insert works wonders in a dark scheme. Notice how the bookcase in this room also adds relief in the blackness.

Camouflage large furniture items. This winged black accent chair is hardly noticeable against the black wall, which makes the scheme seem more open.

When walls are dark, fill the floor with light. This pure white platform bed on a smooth white floor looks ethereal in contrast to deep black-brown walls. A white art canvas draws light into the vertical plane.

Pierce solid black areas with light accessories. Pale bedside table lamps bring light relief to black bedside sections. See more ideas for wood slat walls here.

Dark decadence. Nothing has quite the same depth of decadence as a black and gold bedroom. Push it up a notch or two with a gold four poster bed and black boiserie. Notice the unusual placement of a fireplace between the windows too. The decorative surround houses a group of pillar candles – though always remember to keep lit candles away from draughts and curtains.

A more subtle black and gold bedroom scheme – this time just two elegant gold pendant lights bring the glamour. A blonde wood floor matches their tone.

Dark dressed eclectic. This interesting mix of modern and classic pieces are held tightly together by the strong colour scheme. The tufted bed gives off an air of sophistication.

Brighten where it matters. The bed and the windows are brightened as the stars of this show, black walls fall back. Pretty little indoor plants dress white bedside units, under white wall sconces. A striped bed throw ties the black and white of the room together, whilst beige cushions and wall art stop the scheme from becoming too coldly monochrome.

Have fun with an unexpectedly colourful piece.

Quietly lighten an all black bedroom with low grey wall panelling and a pale grey rug. A light colored bedroom chandelier can make it stand out against the dark backdrop.

A second example of keeping things light on the floor – this time with a cream fabric bed and cream circle rug. The bedside table and designer table lamp echo the circular theme.

Build a black room, within a white room. A black ‘box’ has been fashioned to house the bed in this predominantly white space. The dark area is uplifted by motivational quotes over the bed, under an illuminated canopy. A huge swing arm wall lamp adds reading light.

Much more understated wall sconces bring reading light to this ruffled bed. The bedside units span out to create a desk and dressing table on either side.

Apply black and white imagery into panel moulding.

A black bedroom is a neutral home for hard to match items.

Slice it through. Cut through the darkness with a slice of white or cream. This textured niche with recessed lighting completely changes the dynamic of the room.

Go big with wallpaper prints that have light detailing.

An equal combination of light and dark makes a soothing yin and yang. The bed and bedroom chair create a beautifully balanced visual, each with dark bases and light fabric.

Make narrow windows appear larger by hanging drapes that expand all the way across the window wall.

Hang window drapes all the way up at the ceiling line to create added height too.

Go black with brickwork. Exposed brick has been painted over in this black and gray bedroom, so that the texture can still be seen. The wall acts as zoning decor for a small bedroom lounge area. The brick texture is complemented by geometric pattern in a niche behind the bed.

In this example of a glass wall ensuite, the bathroom borrows light from the bedroom rather than vice versa.

A dark slatted door features in this bedroom with wardrobe display. Beige furniture lightens the look.

An expanse of wooden wardrobes balance an all black wall.

Make things pop with perimeter lighting.

A single black wall, beaten back by white in the rest of a Scandinavian style room creates a clean look.

Throw together a cool bedroom with a black feature wall, a reclaimed pallet bed and music themed art.

Halo lights make this black and white bedroom a heavenly space.

Keep it cosy. That close feeling that all black decor evokes presents a positive effect in an oversized loft space.

Shake up simplicity. A flush-fitted floor bed design and sleek ceiling lights create a wonderfully simplistic scheme; a black accent wall gives the design depth and dimension.

Texture all the way. Think monochrome granite and woven rugs.

Industrial style lighting suits a strong backdrop. Try adding brightly coloured flex to make them pop.

Accessorise a black wall with a large wall clock.

A black and red bedroom looks sumptuous…

… add panel moulding for a high-end finish.
