Black and White is the New Color






Many home decorating gurus are looking to black and whites to bring a bold elegance to rooms without forcing the homeowner to toss last years designs and colors. B&W frames other trends, in an elegant, sophisticated way. It lets home decorators add metals and stone, or blend in some of the silk wallpaper that has been popular over the last years.


The stark statement that black and white makes is lost if the designer is in too much of a hurry to decorate, and doesn't think in full scope of colors and textures.




It is the textures, shapes, and surfaces that will bring the room to life.
Clean works, but do not limit yourself. B&W works well with color, to draw the room back and make it look larger.
