No Monsters in My Bed: black wall

Things to Look At - A Black Wall

Decorating is hard. I'm thinking about painting the wall black between our kitchen and living room. It all started with the idea of a chalkboard wall, but I've heard those start to look really shabby after a few months (any advice?), so I gravitated towards a plain black/dark grey wall, with magnetic primer. In the kitchen, I thought I'd use it showcase the kids' artwork. The kitchen receives A LOT of light, so I think the room could handle the dark color, but I'm scared a black wall could make the whole house depressing looking. What do you think?
