25 Black and Rust Living Room Ideas
Black and rust living room ideas are the perfect color combination. These two colors can be combined to give a modern or vintage look to any room.
I love the look of these two colors together and I’m excited to share some ideas on how to combine them in your home.
Industrial Chic
Industrial chic is a popular design style that combines modern and urban elements. Exposed brick walls, metal accents, and reclaimed wood are common in industrial chic spaces.
This living room by Black Lacquer Design features a black accent wall and a black and white rug. The rust-colored sofa adds a pop of color to the space, and the metal coffee table and floor lamp add an industrial feel.
Black Accent Wall
An accent wall is a simple way to add color and interest to a room. In this living room, the wall behind the sofa is painted black, creating an eye-catching backdrop for the artwork.
The black wall is balanced by the white walls and ceiling, and the dark color is repeated in the area rug and throw pillows. A mix of brown, rust, and cognac colors in the sofa, leather chairs, and wood furniture adds warmth to the space.
Rust-Colored Sofa
This living room by Emily Henderson is a great example of how to use a rust-colored sofa as the focal point of the room. The black and white rug adds a modern touch to the space, while the black chairs and coffee table help to ground the room.
The black and white artwork on the wall ties in with the rug, and the black and white pillows on the sofa help to balance the room.
Black Metal Furniture
Black and rust is a common color combination for metal furniture. The warm, rustic hue of the metal adds a cozy touch to this industrial living room.
The black metal on the coffee table, chairs, and shelves adds a sharp contrast to the room. The black metal on the furniture is complemented by the black metal on the light fixture and the black and white wall art.
Rust Leather Accents
Leather is a great way to add warmth and texture to a room. This stunning leather chair brings in so much personality and helps to balance out the other textures in the room.
The warm rust color of the chair is repeated in the throw pillow on the sofa, creating a cohesive look. The black and white patterned rug adds another layer of texture and a fun pattern to the space.
Black and Rust Artwork
Artwork is an easy way to bring color into a room. We love how the black and rust colors are repeated in the artwork and throw pillows in this living room.
The large painting above the sofa has hints of rust and gold, while the smaller prints have more of the black and rust tones.
The artwork also helps to break up the large wall space and adds a focal point to the room.
Geometric Patterns
Geometric patterns are a great way to add visual interest to a room, and they can be as bold or as subtle as you like. In this stunning black, rust, and gold living room, the geometric patterned rug is the star of the show.
It brings all of the colors in the room together, and it adds a modern touch to the traditional space. The pattern on the rug is echoed in the throw pillows on the sofa, and the geometric coffee table adds even more visual interest.
Dark Wood Elements
The dark wood in this living room is a great way to add a touch of masculinity to the design. You can see the wood in the coffee table and the side table.
The sofa in this room is a great example of a rust color. It’s a bit more muted than some of the other options and blends in with the rest of the room beautifully.
The rug in this room is a great way to add a pop of color and pattern. If you’re working with a room that has a lot of neutrals, a rug can be a great way to add interest.
Black and Rust Area Rug
If you’re not sure how to incorporate black and rust into your space, a rug is a great place to start. A rug is an easy way to add color, pattern, and texture to your living room. Plus, it’s an affordable way to update your decor.
This area rug is the perfect way to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral living room. The rust, black, and cream color palette creates a warm and inviting vibe. Plus, the intricate pattern adds visual interest to the space.
Matte Black Finishes
Gone are the days when every metal finish in a room had to match. This living room from @theritzyglitzy features a striking black fireplace with a matte finish. The matte black finish adds a moody, modern touch to the space.
Rust and brass are mixed in with the black finishes, and the variety of metal finishes adds character and interest to the room.
Rust Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are an easy and affordable way to update your living room. This is especially true if you’re looking to add a pop of color to a neutral space.
Here, a pair of rust-colored pillows add just the right amount of color to a black and white living room. The pillows tie in the rust-colored curtains and other living room accessories for a cohesive look.
Black Coffee Table
A black coffee table is a great way to add contrast to a room with a lot of rust-colored furniture. This living room from House of Jade Interiors features a black coffee table that breaks up the rust and white color scheme of the room.
The black coffee table is also a great way to echo the black picture frames and the black accents on the throw pillows.
Rust-Colored Curtains
If you want to incorporate a new color into your living room, curtains are an easy way to do so. They’re not as big of a commitment as a new rug or a coat of paint, but they can still have a big impact.
In this living room designed by Emily Henderson, rust-colored curtains bring warmth to the space. They also help tie the black and rust color scheme together, as they feature a pattern that includes both colors.
Black Shelving Units
Black shelving units are a great way to add visual interest to the space. They provide a nice contrast to the rust-colored walls and can be used to display your favorite decor items.
In this living room, the shelving unit is used to display a collection of houseplants. The greenery adds a nice pop of color to the space and helps to bring the outdoors in.
Exposed Brick Walls
Exposed brick walls are a popular design element in modern farmhouse and industrial style homes. The texture and color of the brick add warmth and interest to the room.
Here, the exposed brick wall is the perfect backdrop for a black and rust color palette. The sofa and rug add warmth, while the black and white throw pillows and wall art add contrast.
Black and Rust Lighting
The lighting in this living room is a little more understated than some of the other pieces, but it still makes a statement. The black and gold chandelier adds a touch of elegance to the room.
The gold accents in the chandelier and the rest of the lighting in the room tie in perfectly with the rust and gold colors in the design.
Minimalist Design
If you prefer a more minimalist design, then this black and rust living room is the perfect example. The room is simple with clean lines and a neutral color palette, but it’s the pops of rust that really elevate the look.
Rust throw pillows add a touch of color to the all-white sofa, while a small rust ottoman adds a hint of color to the black and white rug. The rest of the room is kept simple with a black coffee table, a black and white art piece, and a few plants.
Rust-Colored Accent Chair
This black and rust living room by J. Kurtz Design features a rust-colored accent chair. The chair is the perfect way to incorporate the color into the room without overwhelming the space.
If you’re new to color, stick to a few carefully chosen accents to start. As you get more comfortable, you can add more color to the room.
Black and Rust Planters
Plants are a great way to add color and texture to a room. In this living room, the plants are in a variety of rust-colored planters that go with the color scheme of the space. The plants are all different, adding a lot of visual interest to the room, but they also help to tie the space together.
Metallic Accents
Metallic accents are a great way to add a touch of elegance to your living room. This living room designed by A House of Grace features a variety of metallic finishes, including the black and gold coffee table, the gold floor lamp, and the silver vase on the mantel.
The metallic accents in this space complement the black and rust color scheme and add a little extra visual interest to the room.
Textured Fabrics
In a room with a darker color palette, it’s important to layer in some texture to add depth and dimension. This living room is a great example of how to do that with fabrics.
The velvet sofa and leather chair offer a nice contrast in texture. A soft, fluffy rug and fringed throw blanket add some cozy texture to the space. And the throw pillows bring in a variety of patterns and fabrics to keep things interesting.
Black and Rust Vases
Vases are the perfect way to add a pop of color to your space. You can fill them with flowers, or leave them empty. Either way, a vase is a great way to add a little color to your coffee table or end table.
If you have a collection of vases, you can group them together to create a beautiful centerpiece. This is a great way to add a pop of color to your space without having to buy anything new.
Statement Wall Art
A statement piece of wall art is a great way to bring color into the room and provide a focal point. This is a good strategy if you’re not sure what colors to use in the rest of the room.
In this space, the rust and mustard tones in the painting are repeated in the throw pillows on the sofa. The black floor lamp and side table bring a grounding touch of contrast to the room.
Mix of Modern and Vintage
This living room by Sarah of Room for Tuesday is a mix of modern and vintage. The vintage rug and leather armchair add warmth to the black and white color scheme.
Sarah added black, white, and rust throw pillows to the sofa to tie in the vintage rug. The pillows and rug are a great way to add color and texture to a neutral room.
Cozy Black Throws
If you want to add a little bit of black to your living room without going overboard, consider adding a few cozy black throws. They’ll add a little bit of contrast to the space, and you can easily swap them out for other colors as the seasons change.
Conclusion
Black and rust are a great color combination, and it is easy to see why. These are bold yet welcoming colors that are perfect for living rooms. So, why not give this color scheme a try? We hope you found these ideas for black and rust living rooms inspiring.
