Question: I want to decorate my home in mostly black and white, but my friends feel that black and white home is for teenagers and college students. Still, I am very fond of black and white and need some tips to have a sophisticated home in those colors. Can you give me some tips?
Answer: You don't need permission from anyone to choose the colors for your home. If you like black and white, then go for it. Still I do understand the desire to use the colors in a sophisticated and adult way. Here are some ideas you can use.
You don't have to use pure black and pure white. For instance, you can purchase black stained wood that still allows a bit of the wood coloring to shine through. Instead of pure white, there is an entire pallet of white colors from ivory to ice blue. By choosing colors that are close to but not exactly black and white you can create the look you want but still soften the colors for a more relaxed and less stark atmosphere.
For artwork you can find great statement art pieces such as this
Mario Wooden Wall Art. This
wall art set is two pieces that form one large circular piece of art. While the piece is not entirely black and white, those are the dominant colors and brown is also used to create the trees in the image. Altogether it is 28" in diameter and will make an excellent focal point for any room.
