It almost seems like a paradox, but a “non-color” is indeed the favorite color to symbolize elegance and refined style. Let’s explore all our novelty velvets in black and how to use them effectively in interior design.<\/p>\n
Black is the result of the lack of light or its total absorption, so it is given by the absence of color. As with white, it officially has no hue, but in reality, we can distinguish different shades of black in objects as well as fabrics, such as charcoal black, ebony black, or ink black.<\/p>\n
Among the innumerable symbologies associated with this color are those with the origin of life and rebirth in ancient Egypt and with power in the Middle Ages. It is associated with sensuality, mystery, and rebellion. But we love it because, even in interior design, black expresses refinement and elegance, and it can complement either traditional or modern, or unconventional styles. As long as it is not overdone because, as with other dark colors, it can make rooms appear smaller and can be oppressive when used for both walls and furnishings.<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, when dosed appropriately for sofas, armchairs, cushions, or lamps, and combined with style, it creates sophisticated and bold spaces because it is a very versatile color. In fact, being neutral, it goes well with any color. With more vibrant tones such as red, emerald green, and lemon yellow to create more vibrancy; with other neutrals to maintain an understated but not mundane style; and paired with gold for an opulent style.<\/p>\n
In addition, it is often used as an accent color, according to a proportion of 60 % for neutrals, 30 % for colors, and 10 % for black details.<\/p>\n
The sensual allure of black with the silky softness of velvet is the perfect combination for furnishing fabrics of extreme elegance and refinement. The color black in luxury furnishings lends drama and a sophisticated touch to rooms.<\/p>\n
Our collection of fine fabrics has been enriched with black proposals for some of the velvets most beloved by interior designers and architects. We present them to you.<\/p>\n
Rinascimento velvet<\/a> pattern features natural elements typical of the second half of the 16th century, with a lattice structure of intertwined stems forming ogives, embellished with stylized carnation, lotus and thistle leaves, and flowers. A refined Renaissance design embellished and illuminated by metal threads declined in numerous colors to which black is now added.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Velluto-Rinascimento-005-39361s.jpg” alt=”Velluto Gotico 005-3945S” title_text=”Velluto Rinascimento 005-39361s” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”immagine rinascimento” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”300px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”taccheggiato” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A silk and cotton velvet with a distinctive texture in which the discontinuous surface creates a unique effect with vintage charm.
