Addicted: Extraordi-noir-e!


People who are scared of dark paint really bug us. It's not the boogeyman; it's paint.  Paint that can be painted over if you really really hate it. Are you the people who always get the same thing off the menu? Always shop at the same stores?  Always watch the same TV shows?  Yeah, we thought so.

It's time for all you nyctophobiacs to break out of your white cells and discover the lushness of ebony, charcoal, midnight and aubergine.  So call your therapist, pop a Xanax and check out some gorgeous noir gems below.

Rustic rooms... 






Modern rooms...




Stylish kids rooms

Disclaimer: If you're into themes (circus, princess, jungle) and/or only consider lilac, baby pink and powder blue suitable kids room colors, you may want to skip this part.  No wait -- you should keep reading -- your child could benefit from having a room that a) doesn't look like a clown threw up, b) doesn't look like every other kids room out there, and c) will transition with them as they grow up.

Yummy baby room:



Sultry bedrooms




Dapper kitchens



If these haven't changed your mind, go live in your institutional white-walled house and have a boring nice life!
