Black & White

I'm very into black and white. If you have a hard time making decisions or focusing on a coherent vision for your interiors, b/w is a great place to start. Then it's easy to add pops of color with accessories and the end result can be simple, chic, and timeless. I especially love patterns in black and white...when used correctly, you can get a bold, fun effect without looking tacky. Here are some examples of great rooms with b/w elements or themes.
