Black and White
Black and white together are a classic combination.
Sophisticated.
Timeless.
Delicious. Oh wait, we weren’t talking about food.
When it comes to design, the same words apply.
There is a “rule” in interior design that says every room should have something black. It acts as a foil around which all the other colors dance.
Black and white used together are classic design elements. They can be used in both modern and vintage applications. Serving as a clean palette, They highlight whatever you want to put the focus on in your room. When paired with another color it will make that color pop. Look at the photo example above, the lines of the elegnat brown couch are obvious in a way that they would not be if the room was filled with distracting colors.
I especially love black and white paired with a bright color like apple green.
When we were remodeling our children’s bathrooms we decided to go with a vintage look that would be appropriate for a house this age The clawfoot tubs have a black painted exterior and the floor is white hexagonal tiles with black accents. This allowed the walls to be a blank canvas. Each of the bathrooms has a completely different feel based solely on the wall color.
