black and white wall décor Archives

Just when I thought Target was the end-all, be-all I discovered they carried wallpaper. Not just any wallpaper mind you but removable, repositionable wallpaper. Removable, repositionable wallpaper opens up all kinds of decorating possibilities for anyone that wants to add a decorative wall treatment to their home but doesn’t want to invest the time or money to put up traditional wallpaper.

While the selection of wallpaper is not vast, the patterns are classic and the color options are on-trend and versatile. In total there are 6 patterns and 16 colorways to choose from and each roll of wallpaper is s 20″ w X 16.5′ long.

Here’s the line-up of my favorite patterns….

This classic lattice pattern is the perfect bold accent for an accent wall, foyer or powder room– Black and White Cable

Also available in this pond and gold colorway–Cable in Pond.

And Cable in Starlight

I know a lot of people are over chevron patterns but they are still a popular design statement. The chevron wallpaper that Target sells is available in several colors–Zig Zag in Mirage

If you like a more traditional look, the Chantilly in Blossom might work for you. This classic damask pattern in also available in yellow and brown.

I love this modern pattern, perfect for casual living space, bedroom or laundry room–Diamond in Twig

Also available is the soft seafoam color–Diamond in Horizon

Solid wallpapers with a subtle pattern or texture are perfect to foyers, hallways or powder room. This pattern, Weave in Compass and Gold is a classic pattern in a unique colorway.

As I mentioned, there are so many places that removable wallpaper can be used in your home and if you rent, wallpaper is the perfect solution for adding a style punch to your decor.

Here’s a little inspiration…

Where would you use removable wallpaper in your home?

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.

* Ikea is your best and most economical source when you need to buy multiple frames in the same style

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.
