Black Finished Lighting and Home Decor

About Black Finishes

Black finishes are usually found in some specific types and styles of lighting. Contemporary design incorporates black very well as it helps create high contrast to accentuate the simple bold lines of that style. Having such a dark finish tends to conceal intricate details which is why it also works well in the unadorned nature of Modern design. This is true for furniture and decorative items as well as lamps. Common uses of black in Traditional style are with outdoor light fixtures and wrought iron formed chandeliers.
