If you need validation, look inside any interior design publication and see the color black in virtually every room. You will also see a prominent use of the combination of black and white. These colors are very powerful on their own, but when used together, they make an extremely bold statement.
Since they are both extreme colors, black and white are great colors for a mix of light and dark. They especially have a big impact in modern spaces, as well as those in which you may desire a bit more formality, such as living rooms and dining rooms.
Here are some more tips for incorporating this powerful color combo into your space:
Artwork is a great way to introduce or tie various colors together within a space. Using photos in black and white can make a big impact.
Area rugs come in different shapes and sizes that can help you introduce black and white into your home.
Accessories, from throw pillows to decorative items like lamb shades and tabletop accessories, can offer creative ways to tie black and white together.
Color mapping is a design technique you can use to repeat or “map” the colors throughout a room so the space feels and looks more cohesive. Black and white buffalo prints are very popular, as are abstract prints.
Black is a powerful color that you shouldn’t be afraid to use. Use it as an accent color for a wall, a base color in a room in the form of an area rug, or the color for your primary furniture pieces.
