Decor Thoughts: Black, White, and chic all over

December 9, 2010

Black and white are an undeniably elegant pairing.  I love the different ways they can work in a room.  I’ve mentioned my inability to paint our white walls – but I can definitely play with our decor colors by working in color in different ways.

If I could play with the walls themselves, these would be my top options.

Or I could mix and match the furniture

Or incorporate other accents on the walls (this reminds me to frame more pictures!)

    i don’t think my husband would go for all out black and white but i love the idea of using them as a base for popping a third color.

  • Isabel December 9, 2010 at 14:35

    these are great inspiration photos!

    Ooh, these are beautiful! So crisp and elegant. I especially love that gorgeous bathroom, I’ve always fantasized about having a black clawfoot tub. 🙂

    Very chic – the black and white photos are lovely, and a great solution where you can’t paint. Go for it!

  • Krysten @ After 'I Do' December 9, 2010 at 15:06

    Love this… I would probably add a third color to make it really pop.

    A very fitting post, as I am just re-doing my powder room in black and white. I am installing wainscoting and a chair rail, and painting them out in white to match my trim. Then going in with black paint for the walls. A white oversized ornate mirror, and a white Blik chandelier wall decal. Adding sparkly silver accessories and hardware, and plush linens in grey and white.

    i love how chic black and white look…and then with just a pop of color.

  • Fashion Meets Food December 9, 2010 at 16:38

    Oh how I adore black and white. My living room and bedroom are black and white, and one of my bathrooms is black white and red.
