Let’s hear it for the color Black! Albert Hadley loved it and Ralph Laurent home uses it abundantly. Many designers say black is the king-color of style. Think of Coco Chanel! I favor the color black because it is perhaps the most versatile of all colors, it can be plaid-up to make a room sober and elegant or it could be plaid-down to make a room rustically chic
The late Albert Hadley.
The late Albert Hadley was a master at making a room eternal by adding touches
of black here and there.
I adore the contrast of the ornate ceiling and Serge Mouille three-arm ceiling lamp.
Can you imagine this dining room with a mahogany or white table? I don’t!

These pictures are gorgeous! I especially love Albert Hadley's room.
I love using black in my own decorating. My living room has a black ceramic garden stool and a painting with a lot of black in it. The library has black sconces, the study a black lamp and the dining room a black shadow box.

I agree, it can be easily integrated in every room.
