Black and Gold Living Room Ideas

Black and gold are two colors that exude elegance and class. In addition to that, these colors play well with many different interior design aesthetics. Whether you're creating a room that's purely elegant, artistically contemporary, mid century modern, or something else entirely, this color scheme can help you show off your personal aesthetic. Need inspiration? Look at these black and gold living room ideas.

Classy Carpet

Carpet may not be as popular as it used to be, but it can still work well in today's homes. Aside from providing comfort, carpet can introduce unique patterns and colors into your living room. If that's too much for your space, consider an oversized area rug to fill the majority of the room and fulfill the same purposes.

Marvelously Moody

Painting the entire room a dark black or charcoal color will help you create a bold statement. Plus, any gold accents you use in this color scheme will stand out even more with their vibrance and rich color.

Mid Century Elegance

Black and gold color schemes work well in a variety of styles, but it can be especially impactful in creating an elegant version of mid century modern style. This room clearly takes inspiration from that iconic style with the furniture and artistic lighting fixtures, but the bold black and gold color palette helps establish a more elegant tone.

Grand Potential

Even if you are determined to have black and gold as the room's main accent colors, you can still add other hues to your living room. Area rugs, pillows, wall decor, and other accents can expand your room's color scheme and complement the living room's main colors.

A Dramatic Focal Point

Fireplaces serve as natural focal points in living rooms, dens, and any other room they're in. By going with a bold black fireplace like this, you can establish black as a main color even if it only appears in that one local and perhaps a few other small accents throughout the room.

Small Details

Want just a hint of black and gold in your living room? No problem! Pillows, blankets, and small seats can help you introduce these colors without overwhelming the room. Plus, these accents can easily be switched in and out of the room's design depending on the season or your changing preferences.

Levity

This classic living room shows off even more of the gold and black color palette's potential. Although white or another neutral color often serves as the third primary color, this room shows the potential of a classic blue in brightening and complementing dark black accents.

Mixing Furniture

More traditional styles tend to use the same color fabric for each of the seats. Even if you break that standard with one white chair or another accent, you can draw the room into a more modern aesthetic.

Masterful Monochrome

Monochromatic black and white color schemes are popular because of their stark contrast and drama. Even if you just use these two colors as the primary two, you can subtly include gold accents to add pops of warmth and diversify the room's grand design.

Contemporary Artistry

Gold and black both have great potential in contemporary styles where they are used in unconventional and bold ways. This room displays that not only in the chairs, but also in the boldly colored area rug. These are merely two areas where you can go bold with contemporary design; consider other accents like wall art, moulding, vases, and other decorations as well.

Materials Matter

Aside from choosing color, it is also important to intentionally use materials and different textures with those colors. In this case, many luxurious materials are used like the hand blown glass pendant lights, marble side table, metallic coffee table, and silky pillows. These details have a huge impact on the room's tone.

Gold and Grey

Black and gold is a stunning color scheme, but perhaps the contrast is too great for your living room. In that case, consider a lighter shade of black like charcoal or slate to complement the gold. As you can see with this living room, dark shades of grey also pair wonderfully with gold.

Gold Tones

Gold or other colors with undertones of gold can complement black and white color schemes. Here, the leather sofa may not be gold, but it carries gold's richness and warmth. Allow this room to serve as inspiration and guidance on how you can expand your horizons and consider a wide range of gold and black tones for your living room.

Whimsy

Rugs are truly diverse in their patterns, color compositions, and general styles. The whimsical rug shown here has an abstract design that feels playful thanks to its use of bright colors and unpolished shapes. These types of abstract rugs are ideal for highly contemporary spaces where you want the rug to stand out as a work of art.

A Place to Start

Unsure of what colors you want to use in your living room or how to balance those colors? We recommend starting the design process by choosing a rug first! That will help you establish what colors you'd like in your room, give you an opportunity to add in a pattern, and can serve as general inspiration for the entire room's design.


Black and gold living rooms are diverse with how they balance their colors, what tone they convey, and what style they fall into.
