Reside Moments: Paint It Black

Over the course of a spring weekend in New York City, we explored the city to showcase rooms that utilize black as the prominent color in their interior design. From an all-black room, where the only other color that enters is from the large skylight above, to an angular black-and-white masterpiece designed by EAU Architects, we showcase the very best in black-inspired design that aims to inspire the viewer to “Paint It Black.”
