These images all demonstrate to me how effective dark wall treatments can be. In the first, by John Minshaw, the walls are painted "off black" by Farrow & Ball, and it creates a suitable formality to the portraits and mirrors framed in gold. The light wood floor and the sisal rug complement the scheme perfectly.
The interior of the entrance hall of this hillside cabin by Bobby McAlpine with its brownish greens works well with the sanded floor and the gold frames of the pictures. (The top sepia photograph to the right of the mirror needs to be straightened and would drive me insane until it was; but that's only a minor pet peeve, that most will probably ignore. Well, probably not now.)
Again from John Minshaw this eye-catching C18th carriage door is brilliantly "illuminated" by the deep purple wall. And again, as with all three, gold accents are particularly effective.
