TREND ALERT: Black & White

By Amy Patterson

Black and white. The timeless pair that exudes unending elegance and eye-catching design. Black and white truly can go with anything, and that principle does not exclude interior design. There are a few different ways to do black and white in your home…you can go sort of middle of the road with the colors, you can just use them in your accessories, or you can go all-out and be super bold. But as far as I’m concerned, you can’t ever go wrong with black and white (unless you’re Cruella De Vil…because no one likes someone who is mean to puppies).

This kitchen gives new meaning to the word sophistication. This is a design that could make its way into any home. The white and black are softened by the rich wood counter top and rafters, while the rug ties in an added air of softness.

This bathroom, though slightly more bold than the kitchen, could still be found in any modern home. The pattern of the floor tiling is a successful merge of the solid black of the door and the bright white of the walls.
