Olivia's Curates 'The Black Edit' of Luxury Furnishings

When it comes to enduring appeal and timeless chic, black furnishings have it in spades.

Which is why luxury homeware retailer Olivia’s has curated an exclusive collection to inspire homeowners to embrace the dark side.

Introducing the Black Edit by O&Co.

Handpicked by Olivia’s team of expert interior designers, the four-strong Black Edit by O&Co combines luxury, purpose and a striking black finish to bring understated glamour to any interior scheme.

Faye Simons, Head of Interior Design at Olivia’s, said: “Black furnishings bring together versatility and aesthetic appeal unlike any other colourway. They bring richness and luxury, working in harmony with a wide colour palette to enhance and exaggerate any space.”

Want to embrace black furnishings but not sure where to start? Faye shares her top tips on how to incorporate black into the home this autumn:

Create Contrast with Lighter Walls and Floors

Balance the boldness of black furniture with white, cream, or light grey backdrops.

Faye said: “If you want to weave black furnishings into the home, setting them against a light backdrop will avoid a heavy or dark atmosphere.”

Introduce Natural Elements

Add wood, rattan, leather, or stone accessories to bring organic contrast and break up the monochrome palette.

Faye said: “Using natural materials will not only look great but bring a sense of biophilia into your new décor.”

Accent with Metallic Finishes

Gold, brass, or chrome accents in lighting, or décor elevate black furniture and add sophistication.

Faye said: “Using metallic finishes alongside black furnishings will elevate the feeling of luxury throughout the home.”

Play with Patterns and Prints

Geometric rugs, striped cushions, or patterned wallpaper can inject energy and visual interest into a black furniture setting.

Faye said: “Patterns will bring black furnishings to life, adding depth, dimension and interest.”

Keep the Space Well-Lit

Maximise natural light and use layered artificial lighting to ensure the room doesn’t feel too heavy.

Faye said: “Floor lamps, sconces, pendants are your best friend when designing with black furnishings, use them to highlight your favourite elements.

Use Black as a Unifying Element

Echo black around the home in the smaller details.

Faye said: “As well as statement furnishings, use picture frames, sculptures or vases to tie the room together and create visual cohesion.”

The Black Edit by O&Co is available now at Olivia’s – with prices starting at £66.
