If you asked anyone if I was a person who loves color, they would definitely say yes! I love wearing bold colors, (red is my favorite) and I love to decorate with color. But, despite my love for color, I can’t help but be attracted to rooms that have minimal color, especially rooms decorated in black and white.
To me, black and white is such a strong, sophisticated and dynamic color statement. While there may not be an intense pop of color, the combination of black and white can be just as vibrant and stylish.

To make a black and white color statement successful, it’s best to have a variety of patterns so that the space has dimension and depth. Try combining a black and white floral, stripe, check, and solids to create the best look.

The incredibly talented designer Tobi Fairley incorporated this lovely chest into one of her design projects. What an easy and inexpensive way to update an old or thrift store piece.

Even with white or ivory as the foundation of a room, infusing black as the accent color will bring it to life and give the space substance.

The next time you want to add a little color to your home, try decorating in a simple palette of black and white!
Do you have a black and white room? I’d love to see pictures.
