Black tends to be a bit of a polarizing color for interiors: we’ve written about black walls, black kitchens, black bedrooms, and each time the response is either love or hate. But what about… black on the ceiling?
You may think ‘cave’, but I see ‘nice and cozy’. I think this works best in rooms with taller ceilings, so you don’t get a ‘sky is falling’ kind of feel… but take a look at the images below, and then judge for yourself.

I think this is the perfect application for a black ceiling — a tall, light-colored room that could use a little coziness. Most of the rooms above are black and white, but I think the color gives this one a little extra something. From 47 Park Avenue.

And finally, in this space from Coco Lapine, a black ceiling adds a little coziness and texture to a tall space.
What do you think: would you consider trying this at home? Black ceilings: yea or nay?
