Can you paint a room black????

The answer is YES YES YES..........................


Dining room before......

Dining Room after


Over the years Nordby Design Studio strives to push the envelope and design outside the "BOX."
As in college - our professors always pushed us to not duplicate but to create new and exciting spaces. And to use our past and our historic places to help us make long lasting thought provoking spaces, not only to see, but to feel and use. Places that make us smile, feel comfortable and to help us grow.

We have been asked by many people and our clientele - can a room/walls be painted "Black"???? And we say yes - why not????? Then they ask, does it feel like ewwwwwww yukky and cold?? Does it make the room feel small?

When we tell them that we painted our own dining room black, they look at us like we have lost our marbles......hehe. Then I say "You should see it for yourselves and see how awesome it feels and how opposite it is from the initial thoughts of "BLACK WALLS" ewwwwwwwwwww....."


WELL????


Here are some additional examples of Black rooms/walls.
