Creating Black and White Drama

Black and white interior theme is a great one to choose because it has the appeal of exotic, sexy, and sometimes glamorous styling. However, the classic combination of black and white can range from country to crisp and modern, but it's always effortlessly elegant.

Since a lot of homes don't use color on the walls, it is easy to get going with a black and white transformation in a room. By simply swapping out the existing elements with some pillows or throws in solid black or white colors, you can build the foundation. Next, select a handful of accessories that combine that theme. It might be toile or black & white slat frames and coasters that add a dash of sophistication. If you want to go with a more rustic look - using black and white distressed crates to hold magazines or as a footstool with a pillow is a prefect tough.

One easy element to create is a black & white photo gallery in your room. Take your favorite pictures, convert them from color and assemble a wall gallery that you like. You can create the wall with uniform black frames or mix/match with size and with white frames as well.

The other incredible thing about black & white design is that you can choose one accent color and it will really pop in this minimalist environment. Updating your look throughout the year is easy because you can pick vibrant colors for the spring and more subdued earth tones in the fall and winter.

Enjoy!
