The color combination of black and white has always appealed to people aesthetically because of the stark contrast of black against white. When you're designing a room in your house, black and white can be extremely appealing because the lack of color gives you the freedom to use it purely to play around with unique patterns and designs. You don't have to worry about matching colors to the existing furniture that already makes a statement in your home.
Used properly, black and white can make your house or office space look chic, classic, and elegant. Careful attention to overall design with a small pop of color will prevent the look from appearing cold or too stark. Here are a few tips for making black and white accentuate the elegant feel of your design space.
1.) Using black and white stripes in a room is a classic choice and can spice up a plain-looking area. You can really accentuate the black and white stripes by keeping the accompanying accessories and furniture simple. By making the black and white stripes the focal point, it's easier for them to command the space.
2.) You can use a traditional damask wallpaper and fun matching accessories in varying amounts of damask pattern to ensure that the things don't match too much. This pattern will really stand out when it's placed next to a plain, white wall. When you do this it also gives you a chance to pair these black and white colors with either red, green, pink or other pops of color in accessories.
3.) If you soften the blacks and whites when decorating with this color scheme, it's a great way to ensure that the colors won't look too cold. Using a black color that isn't the purest shade possible gives the room a chance to look softer and more inviting.
