These dark & dramatic rooms will convince you to be more daring with paint

With the perfect combination of mood and sophistication with a laid-back approach (I mean, there are rugs on the walls), this living space is on our list for oozing the right amount of drama.

Take note if you're looking for ways to add a bit of edge to your dining room. The gallery demands attention thanks to the dark wall and ties in perfectly with the charcoal linen reupholstered dining chairs and striped carpet. 

A stunningly bold art piece complements the blue undertone of the grey walls and defines the space for an edgy, yet feminine dining room.

Floor-to-ceiling windows offer the perfect balance to the dark and moody colour palette of this loft. The spiral staircase serves as the focal point of the space, adding plenty of drama.

Ruby-carpeted stairs, black ceilings and leopard-printed chairs — this is what we call a grand entrance.

This space goes to show that bathrooms don't always have to be bright and airy. Brass accents add extra punch and complement the rich black walls beautifully for an uber chic bathroom. 

With unique artwork, antique mirrors and a strikingly beautiful black accent wall, we can totally picture Morticia Addams enjoying her beauty rest here. 

This bold and contemporary dining room features a variety of different textures that lend contrast and character to the overall space.

A blend of modern and traditional aesthetic, the black and white panelling adds plenty of character and creates a graphic element that ties the entire office space together. 

No one does design better than the French. This Parisian-style kitchen boasts plenty of drama with a mix of charm and character thanks to wall panelling, vintage mirrors, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and a hanging bike that pays homage to a typical Parisian scene: commuters bringing home baguettes in the baskets of their bicycles.
