Due to the huge popularity of using black in interior colour schemes it was so important to me to get another rich and luxurious feeling shade in the collection. Cooper is named after my black Labrador and is a rich and deep almost black shade with a very neutral undertone making it feel a little more earthy and soften its impact beautifully! Cooper will work perfectly as a contrasting woodwork shade or as a feature or full room colour! Embrace the dark by popping this shade in a north facing room orientation but this versatile colour will work in any room orientation!
Black is a fantastic choice when designing your room. It can be an accent utilised on your woodwork energising the space due to the high contrast from your walls and can make a feature or highlight areas (such as a framing a gorgeous view!). Alternatively you could utilise it as a feature shade to add a little extra flair to your room and avoid it from appearing too dark. Finally you could go for a bold look with black as your dominant room colour which can have a stylish and dramatic impact on your room and it works best when paired with other details such as decorative coving/mouldings, panelling and natural textures!
