Black is one of the most popular colors for patio furniture. It can create a strong contrast against a wood background, and it doesn't show wear as easily as other colors. However, it can also look extremely dark, and is sometimes overdone. In fact, I thought I was over the shade, until I saw it on Anne Hathaway's former terrace.
The terrace on Anne Hathaway's former Central Park West pied-a-terre is bold and striking. Created by Gramercy Design, it features a sitting area, a long dining table, and two planters filled with elegant trees. Every piece of furniture has a black base and a black cushion. According to one commenter, Anne's dining chairs are from Reeves Design. In the second image, a row of cypress trees creates a perfect privacy planting.
