And, we are here to make you think a bit more of using a bold palette of classic black and white. Have you thought about it? Before being skeptical about this combo let us take you inside this timeless color combination.
According to Decorist celebrity designer Lauren Nelson this is he combo you need in your bedroom. Why? Because she thinks that the tonal look is frequently present in both interior design and fashion.That means that it can stand the test of time beyond many passing trends. Anther thing is that it’s also a serene and calm palette that brings a nice feel in the bedroom.
Here are some Nelson’s tips on how to make this contrasting color combination work in your bedroom.
Nelson notes that there are so many styles that you can incorporate into a black and white palette. If you are wondering what this design features, you are about to find out. Nelson says that the modern design and wooden materials are about to warm up the intensity that the black interior paint color may create. Also in order for you to contrast the dark pieces, two large window and a white ceiling will work to infuse the space with the needed light.
Imagine that your bedroom has black walls, black headboard and a black painting. You already know that’s way too much darkness in the space so you need to make some contrast. Here at the given situation the contrast would be achieved by the pops of rich green and white bedding just like in this bedroom on the photo. Following this example that’s why Nelson’s suggestions fr decorating a space with these colors is so strict. When using black one has to consider the visual weight of furnishing. So all you need is contrast and balance. Easy, right?
We know you don’t want the black and white bedroom to appear uninviting, so there is one thing you can do about it. Infuse an accent color! Through decorative accents and art you can achieve this, especially using throw blankets or pillows. The bedroom on the photo features black pieces like the dresser, the bed frame and the lamp but the shades of blue, gold and green make such a difference. They shine through and are softening the space immediately.
This particular bedroom is all-black and is accented only by a few key elements in white hues. If you are this kind of black and white bedroom person then you should definitely use some elements. Because the space is monochromatic, elements like linen bedding and a sheepskin rug would do great, according to Nelson. These pieces paired with a black vintage dresser provides the softness you crave for and gives texture. After all that, it’s still giving the punch of contrast for interest.
This space right here is tied together by glints of gold accent pieces. The traditional chandelier wrapped in gold that hangs from the ceiling complements the gold canopy bed frame that looks so sturdy. The golden-brown rug that lays on the floor and the painting on the wall work well together because of its orange and gold details. The beautiful and cohesive way that has been reached according to Nelson brings totally elegant look. The details like the patterned pillow, the bright red and the hint of green on the nightstand are a great addition to the metallic accents.
When asked about which color between the two colors she would prefer on the wall she answers “White”. That’s the color she would lean towards when it comes to coloring the bedroom, so this Scandinavian-inspired space explains it all. On the photo everything is white, the crisp white walls, the bedding, and the accessories. The exposed bulb sconce you can spot and the black and white framed photographs that sits on the shelf are the subtle black details incorporated in this room. The welcoming touch of warmth has been invoked by the gray fur throw blanket and the gray trimmings on the edge of the bedding.
