Have you heard? Benjamin Moore’s 2017 Color of the Year is Shadow and we couldn’t be more excited.

As a color that almost evades description, Shadow instantly adds drama to any room. Is it black? Is it purple? Is it charcoal? All we know is it’s drop dead gorgeous. Hesitant about switching over to the dark side? Don’t be! Take a look at how we’d style a bedroom around Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year.

Decorating With Benjamin Moore’s Shadow

With dark walls setting the mood, look to furniture with clean lines and neutral colors. Next, bring in some lightness with crisp white bedding and metallic accents. Lush materials like velvet, marble, and brass complement the rich inky quality of the wall color. Incorporating a luxe jewel tone color like emerald green also adds an understated glam feel to the room. With such a bold color, you can also bring in quirky, punk rock inspired motifs like studs and skulls on the throw pillows.
