Black has always had a prominent place in design. It goes with anything and brings drama and contrast. We have seen it grace dining room tables, kitchen cabinets, accent chairs, walls and, today, lighting.
Light fittings of all kinds would be the perfect place to bring in small doses of black to get a big effect. They behave as makeup (eyeliner, if you will) to get a space, defining the space and highlighting key features.
Installing a black pendant or painting an existing wall sconce black may be just the pick-me-up a weary room requirements. Check out these interiors for inspiration.

This cozy cottage bedroom gets the perfect shot of black with a pair of library two-arm wall sconces. The light that they cast down, alongside the large piece of artwork, provides exactly the exact same definitive effect as a traditional headboard would.
