what colours go with black velvet cushions?

From the legendary drama of monochromatic black and white to fully blacked-out gothic schemes, just about every space can benefit from a touch of black. It’s a long-held wisdom of interior design that black pairs beautifully with just about any colour, so you don’t have to worry about your black velvet cushions clashing once you introduce another shade. However, there are certain shades which make a standout combination with black, so read on to find your dream colour scheme.

Black and white is one of the most classic and time-tested colour pairings out there. From striking zebra prints to the quirky sophistication of monochromatic checkerboard patterns, blending black with white is always a timeless statement. Introduce a middle ground of grey or cream cushions to soften the look, and bring in tons of textures to keep things feeling layered and interesting.

Blue and black is a royally sophisticated combo that makes an ideal fit for soothing bedroom schemes. Think black velvet cushions paired with rich navy blue numbers, and factor in some jacquard or embroidered patterning for an added lick of luxury. If you’re feeling something a bit fresher, pale green tones of mint and eucalyptus offer an exciting pairing, while summery butter-yellow shades are ideal for a sun-soaked living room scheme.

how to style black velvet cushions.

A quick skim through our guide to colour psychology will tell you that black is a shade that’s all about edginess, attitude and experimentation – so there aren’t many strict rules when it comes to using it in your home. As a solid, grounding neutral that sits sweetly alongside just about any shade, the styling possibilities when decorating with black are virtually endless. However, as always, there are a few things you should keep in mind if a black decor scheme is calling your name.

We all know that black can be an intense colour, so you might want to think about different ways of cooling it down if you’re after a more seamless look. The showstopping drama of a monochromatic black and white scheme isn’t for everyone, so introduce a few shades that’ll soften the look if it’s all feeling like a bit too much. Go with a set of cream or beige curtains to lend a soothing sense of balance if your black-and-white scheme is feeling a bit severe.

Another great quality of black is its grounding effect. As a solid, aggregable neutral – black can be paired with a variety of earthy shades to create a cosy organic vibe. Pair your black velvet cushions with a variety of brown options in shades from taupe to cocoa, and dot in some indoor greenery to really capture the feeling of being grounded in nature. Polish off the look with wooden furniture and bronze-tinted accessories, and you’ll have a well-rounded colour scheme that’s rooted in the timeless beauty of black.
