4. Larger homes and open-concept layouts often benefit from darker décor themes as it tends to visually ‘fill’ expansive spaces and reduce perceived sparseness. In this upscale city condo, the cautiously darker décor theme brings a wealth of depth even with only a few dim-toned features e.g. accent furniture, counter bases, and doors.

5. Darker themes do not always have to equal dark neutrals like black or charcoal. In fact, any hue in a darker tone can be a part of the aesthetic. Just take this impeccably decorated condo, serving a rich and vibrant shade of dark décor with unique midnight blue hues. Balance out the sombre darker colours by lighter floorings and reflective mirrored walls.
