A black and white bedroom can really solve a lot of design dilemmas especially if you use black/white decor for a gender neutral look. You probably already have both these colors in your room so it can allow you to be use a lot of your bedding, as well as your furniture pieces. However, just adding a few new items is really going to tie the entire space together and give you a very high end kind of look.
This is a way to make a nursery a little bit more chic. You might have always wanted a little girl so there are certain times that you just have to have pink. However going with a pink, black, and white bedroom really can be a little bit more sophisticated. You could just use a black and white stripe on the bedding and paint the walls pink. Then add in a lot of white accents. This is also perfect if you have mismatched furniture or if you've got a lot of hand-me-down pieces because usually they will either be in one or the other of the colors. Just incorporating this into the overall palette is going to get a much more cohesive look into your room.
When you do go with black and white bedroom decorating ideas you need to make sure that you still decide to make a statement. You can easily do this with texture. This can be something as simple as your bedding. For instance, you can just bring in a rich velvet or faux velvet in a light color which is really going to bring a lot more shine so that the black doesn't seem depressing. This can also be quite luxurious feeling. You could also go with more of a traditional or damask kinda print that can have a lot of sheen to it. For more contrast it can be a black and white palette but if you want something a little bit more elegant and possibly traditional then it might be cheery bed to go with a black and gold palette.

Another thing that is essential for this kind of a room is bringing in interesting lighting. This can just be lanterns. Paper lanterns have been so popular lately that they have really gone with all different kinds of design styles. You can find them with prints and patterns on them. You can go with a higher end look just by placing several together and it doesn’t cost that much money just because it is made out of paper so this is one of the least expensive lighting fixtures out there. You could even put one of these over each night stand for romantic mood lighting that is going to look as great during the day as it does at night.
Another thing that's very important is to play with your finishes. You could bring in a black gloss finish to your furniture to just add more interest to the black paint. Another option would be to go with a very rustic finish where you sand down the paint so the natural wood so shows through. This can be very country but when you pair it with the other elegant kind of accessories it totally changes this into more of a sophisticated room that still has a lot of balance to it.
This can also work really well with themes. For instance, you can just use it in an Oriental kind of style. This kind of furniture often has a black lacquered effect. Often times this has beautiful hand paintings. You can find this in a lot of antique and thrift stores, although it is pretty expensive if you do buy new. This is really great for a room where the focal point is going to be on the furniture and it can create a Zen like kind of vibe in your space. It also really balances the masculine and feminine accents quite beautifully.
Another thing that you could use this for is the base coat. This could be a way to add in color to your room such as on your furniture pieces. However if you paint the piece black and then sand it down or use black glaze on top it can you give an aged appearance by just by going with this kind of color. It's going to give it more of a contemporary look just so that it doesn't end up looking too country or messy.
