Ask anyone who has selected black for a bedroom wall color, and they’ll tell you that white, beige, or cream bedding is absolutely vital to create the necessary contrast. Heather painted her bedroom in a color called Iron Ore, a hue very similar to the one shown here, and stated, “All the linens are white, so it’s not too dark.”
If you’re fearful that your paint selection may be too bold, lighten the scene by purchasing white or neutral pillows, throws, comforters, or even furniture to balance the look.
