homeSTYLE: Black and White

by Rachel Smith on January 31, 2012

While I do love color, there is always something so timeless, elegant and chic about predominately black and white home spaces. The beauty of black and white is that it can take on so many different emotions and feelings based on how it’s used. If you go heavy on the black you get a more moody, mysterious, comfy feel, but if you choose to emphasis the white it can feel open, spacious and bright. Black and white can do heavy on the contrast with sharp lines and transitions between the black and white or choose pieces that have softer edges or textiles. Plus with a black and white space it lends itself perfectly to adding color or almost any kind!
