Trendwatch: Black is Back

After many years Black is making a quiet, confident return to our interiors. No longer reserved for bold statements or stark minimalism, it’s re-emerging as a grounding force in uncertain times. As the world spins ever faster, many of us are seeking stillness – a sense of pause, a reset. And black, timeless and steady, offers exactly that.

For those hesitant to go all in, black works beautifully as an accent. Use it to create contrast against soft whites, creamy tones, and earthy hues. The key is to balance it with warmth: think tactile fabrics, natural textures, and the honest presence of wood. This softens the edges and creates a space that feels calm rather than cold.

Sometimes, it’s the non-colours that hold the most meaning. Black invites reflection. It offers a kind of visual silence. And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.
