Templar Black is a premium finish and design style in furniture, lighting, and home décor, characterised by deep, matte or semi-matte black tones paired with clean lines and contemporary sophistication. In simple terms, it’s a bold, versatile design choice that brings drama, elegance, and modernity to Australian homes.
Here’s why Australians love Templar Black: it adds a luxurious edge to interiors while remaining surprisingly adaptable, working across industrial, minimalist, Scandinavian, and even traditional styles. From lighting fixtures and metal accents to storage solutions and accent furniture, Templar Black creates visual contrast and enhances other materials, such as timber, marble, or glass.
There are several distinct ways Templar Black is used in Australian homes:
Matte Black Furniture
Sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, and shelving units with a matte black finish.
Offers a contemporary, understated elegance.
Templar Black Metal Accents
Handles, knobs, legs, and frames in black powder-coated or wrought metal.
Common in industrial-style kitchens and living areas.
Black Lighting Fixtures
Pendant lights, chandeliers, wall sconces, and floor lamps finished in Templar Black.
Adds drama and focus to rooms while complementing neutral palettes.
Mixed Material Templar Black
Combines black finishes with timber, glass, or stone.
Creates a sophisticated contrast for modern interiors.
Templar Black Outdoor Furniture
Powder-coated black steel or aluminium frames paired with weather-resistant fabrics.
Perfect for poolside lounges, decks, or alfresco dining.
Selecting the right Templar Black piece requires careful consideration:
Purpose of the Piece
Choose lighting or furniture according to where it will have the most impact.
Accent pieces are perfect for subtle drama; large black furniture can dominate a room.
Material Quality
Ensure metal finishes are powder-coated or treated to resist scratches and corrosion.
Black timber or laminate should be durable and resistant to wear.
Room Size & Lighting
Dark colours can make small rooms feel smaller, so balance with light walls or reflective surfaces.
Templar Black works beautifully in spacious, naturally lit rooms for maximum impact.
Style Compatibility
Align with your existing décor — Templar Black pairs with neutrals, warm woods, and metals.
Works in industrial, modern, minimalistic, and eclectic interiors.
Maintenance Considerations
Matte finishes are forgiving but may show fingerprints or dust.
Occasional cleaning with a soft cloth maintains the sleek appearance.
Templar Black is a favourite among Australians for several reasons:
Sophisticated Elegance: Adds drama without overpowering other design elements.
Versatility: Suitable for furniture, lighting, décor, and outdoor pieces.
Timeless Appeal: Black never goes out of style, blending with trends year after year.
Durability: High-quality powder-coated or lacquered finishes resist wear and tear.
Design Flexibility: Works with both bold contrasts and soft, muted tones.
