In the world of interior design, black can be something of a controversial colour as it’s bold, daring and can very easily dominate a space in a way that feels overwhelming or claustrophobic.
But black can also make a bedroom space feel cosy and offer an almost cocoon-like environment that is deeply relaxing and restorative. The key here is to understand where to incorporate such a statement colour in order to maximise its grounding qualities, so let’s take a look at a few ideas that could spark your own sense of creativity.

How to Use Replacement Bedroom Doors to Elevate Your Interior Style
Experiment with colour drenching
While the thought of drenching your bedroom in black may feel a little intimidating, painting your walls, radiators, skirting boards and floor black will instantly infuse your bedroom space with a sense of calming cosiness.
This technique will be particularly effective in north-facing bedrooms, as black can easily absorb all the shadows, which will actually help to infuse a sense of warmth into the space.
Pro Tip: Choose replacement bedroom doors in a black or deep grey hue to complete your colour drenched space. The Bella Elland Handleless doors in supermatt black or supermatt graphite are exceptionally versatile and will add personality and character to any bedroom.
Create a monochromatic wonderland
Combining black with a light neutral tone can create a monochromatic wonderland that’s overflowing with personality. By painting the bottom half of your walls black and choosing a white or very light linen hue for the top half, you will really open up your space, helping it to feel airy and bright.
Pro Tip: For the best outcomes, ensure that everything in the lower half of the space is black, including your skirting boards, floor, furniture and hardware, including door and drawer handles.

Pair black with a dopamine-boosting colour
If you want to use black in a subtler way, pairing it with a colour that will instantly boost your mood could be perfect for you. Sunshine yellow is a particularly great partner for black, as it can keep your room feeling fresh and vibrant.
One of the most effective ways to combine two very different colours is through pattern. From stripes to geometric designs, choose patterns that suit your style and combine your chosen colours effortlessly within the design.
Pro Tip: To soften the contrast between the black and yellow elements in your space, incorporate flashes of soothing neutral, blue or pink tones to give the eye somewhere to rest. For example, you could choose replacement bedroom doors in a gentle hue, such as dusky pink, dove grey or antique white.

Choose a dark, inky hue instead
There are many rich, inky hues that can offer the same depth as black, including indigo blue, graphite and deep fir green. These colours can be easier to work with as they’re often less intense than pure black, however, they can also help you to create a space that feels like a relaxing sanctuary away from the busy outside world.
Indigo blue pairs beautifully with rich browns and crisp whites, making it an excellent option for a bedroom with exposed wooden floors and vintage touches. If your space experiences lots of natural light throughout the day, you’ll notice the blue undertones really coming to life. This can be emphasised by incorporating crisp white bedding and metallic brass hardware, which will reflect the light and create contrast.
Use hints of black as a smart accent colour
In a bedroom space, incorporating flashes of black within an otherwise neutral design scheme featuring plenty of natural materials can give the room a contemporary edge without ever feeling too overpowering.
A black bed frame, black replacement bedroom doors and black light shades can be all that you need to create a beautiful Scandi chic space that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Choosing pieces with clean lines will establish a sense of cohesion and the Bella Richmond replacement bedroom doors will work beautifully in this style
