Black and White Decor

Black/white decor can really save you a lot of money. You probably already have lots of black and white elements in your space. This may mean that you won't have to do a lot of remodeling or even painting. However, since these colors are so common it can appear at first like you didn't even decorate. Instead, you really are going to want to tie all of the elements in your room together to make a very graphic space that will definitely be different than all the other basic white and black rooms around. Here are a few tips on how to accomplish this.

You are going to want to pay attention to bring in pattern. This is so important because it ties all the elements together. You could do this with a checked flooring or backsplash. Another option would be to go with wallpaper or just a distinct fabric. This will add contrast into your space. At the same time, you can mix and match all of the other solid black and white elements that you have in your room.

You can also use this kind of expected color palette in rooms that you wouldn't normally expect to make it different. For instance, it might not be your first choice for a nursery. Often times people will revert to clichés such as blue or pink. However, you can get a very distinctive sense of style, which is especially important if you live in an apartment and you can't paint the walls. You can tie it all together with a toile nursery set. This can have almost a French air to it. It can be very sophisticated. You can bring in different rocking chairs and create a theme with either a white or black paint which will really open up your design options when you go shopping or if you're just mixing and matching the pieces that you already have on items that you get from relatives. You can create a cohesive design style just with one piece.

Another area where you might not be expecting to see this color palette is outside. Often times people will revert to more brown color palettes. This is a way to really make things pop and be modern. This is especially important if you don't have a lot of plants in your space you need to make your statement in other ways like paint. It's a way to unify all the wood or furniture and give things a very distinctive and updated sense of style.
