Black and White Home Decor
In case you missed the memo black and white are trending in home decor. Pretty much every retailer has a version of this color scheme.
In the world of color theory, it’s called Achromatic which means without color. Only neutral colors (black, white, and gray) are used in this decorating style.
The beauty is it’s literally the perfect backdrop for any accent color or great as is. The trick to pulling off this trend is to make sure you use texture, pattern, a variety of materials, and interesting shapes within the design.
Black and white decor are far from boring if done right. Today I’ll show you a living room design in this style.
All resources are included to help you duplicate this look in your own home.
