Black and white used to be the "it" colors for decorating. However, now it just seems to be shades of gray which honestly I prefer a lot more. I still think it has a place in classic kitchens and it's becoming more popular on patios too. The new neutrals are softer and more toned down.
Modern Black Room Decor
I've found that black and white decor has changed a little bit so it's less harsh. it might use black furniture but not a modern style. It might have Windsor style chairs or hutch armoires. This is in direct contrast to the white furniture and black walls that were popular a few years ago. Now it has more of a farmhouse or country look so that it tones down both the modern and country styles.

Black and White Accents
Usually when I think of black and white decor it's as an overall color scheme. There is something to be said as using it to finish out your palette if you have daring red or purple walls for balance. The only colors I can think of that it wouldn't work with are brown and possibly yellow because it might look like a bumble bee. If you don't know what to match your wall color with fill out your palettte with a few neutrals.

The Best Black and White Decor
Some of my favorite options for black and white decor is just on artwork. When I've had apartments I've learned to have to decorate with all of my roommates posters. They just look so much better even if they are in black and white since the subject matter never is related. Instead of scattering them throughout your entire apartment I just like them all on one wall; even floor to ceiling.

One of My Favorite Black and White Rooms
One of my favorite black and white rooms ever belongs to the Evil Queen on the show Once Upon a Time. It has birch print wallpaper, black columns, and it looks like a marble floor. There isn't any color in the space which at first leads to that "evil" feeling. However, it's so dramatic with the color palette and so neutral that everyone in that room pops. It makes someone wearing red lipstick really mesmerizing. If I would've been decorating it I would've gone with a lot of heavy stone or made it feel like a castle and that's why I'm not a set designer. The modern feeling and color palette feels a little bit dangerous and shows that the Mayor knows who she is at least design wise. Even though the ropm is quite intricate it serves as a backdrop. Do you like the Evil Queen's house?
