THREE TIPS FOR DECORATING WITH BLACK & WHITE WALL DECOR

I love the look of black and white wall décor but often times if your décor style is something other than modern or contemporary it can be challenging to decorate with. Here are three design tips that might make the task of decorating with black and white wall décor a little easier!

1. BLACK and WHITE WALL DECOR DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ALL ART

With a more transitional or eclectic décor style mix things up a bit by combing traditional artwork with other decorative objects or mirrors. The wall grouping below is a great example of traditional botanical prints being paired with a black framed mirror and tortoise shells. There is a traditional undertone but the overall feel is more eclectic and personalized.

2. USE BLACK and WHITE ARTWORK TO CREATE UNIFORMITY & RHYTHM

Black and white artwork hung as a collection and hung close together creates symmetry and balance within a room. This option is also great when you have a large wall that needs impact but you don’t want to invest in a single piece of over-sized art.

3. MAKE THE BLACK and WHITE STATEMENT EVEN STRONGER WITH A COMBO OF BLACK & WHITE MATTS

A great way to make your black and white wall décor statement even stronger is by framing your art in wide black AND white matts. Alternate the matt colors for visual balance and keep the picture frames all the same color so the look isn’t too busy.
