We love a vibrant pop of colour as much as anyone, but there\u2019s something alluring about black and white interiors. Maybe it\u2019s the unmatched feeling of sophistication or the restrained use of colour that still has an inviting warmth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Details really create the undercurrents and variety that prevents monochrome from looking flat or boring. Using important shades that lie between the extremes of black and white, incorporating natural materials, playing with pattern and texture and adding warm metals and contrasting finishes for a beautiful space that looks incredibly chic, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Convinced? Here\u2019s how you can decorate with black and white in your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and white bedroom<\/h2>\n

Cosy, inky hues make a real case for the <\/span>dark and moody trend<\/span>. Going to the dark side on at least one of your four walls makes for a velvety backdrop. Accessories and furnishings <\/span>are accentuated by dark backgrounds, appearing bolder and brighter than they would against a standard white wall and adding that needed bit of drama.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bedroom<\/p>\n

Bevel bedside table<\/span><\/a> |\u00a0<\/span>Bevel king-size bed<\/span><\/a> |\u00a0<\/span>Bevel chest of drawers<\/span><\/a> |\u00a0<\/span>Bevel double wardrobe<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of making black or white your focal point, use it for key accessories as part of a neutral palette. Litter black and white across pillows, lampshades, clocks and artwork to add a touch of class to your bedroom<\/a>: the minimalist style will really shine against natural oak furniture<\/a>, like that of our <\/span>Bevel range<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and white office<\/h2>\n

\"Industrial<\/p>\n

Brooklyn computer desk<\/span><\/a> |\u00a0<\/span>Brooklyn dining chair<\/span><\/a> |\u00a0<\/span>Brooklyn large bookcase<\/span><\/a> |\u00a0<\/span>Brooklyn small bookcase<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Styling with black and white doesn\u2019t mean you have to resort to extremes. As aforementioned, natural materials and metals allow you to experiment with textures. The marriage of industrial alloy and solid oak we see in our <\/span>Brooklyn range<\/span><\/a> gives you this opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inject a bit of life to your New York loft-style home office by scattering gorgeously green houseplants across the shelves. And don\u2019t forget to <\/span>get clued up on how to care for them<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and white dining room<\/h2>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

Romsey large sideboard<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

A bartop, which you can fashion from your <\/span>Romsey large sideboard,<\/span><\/a> will really brighten up a midnight-shaded corner of your home; the jewel-like bottles and cocktail equipment sparkling against your darker interiors. This is another place where brassy ornaments look brilliant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and white living rooms<\/h2>\n

Blues and greys are lovely neutral colours to complement black and white. They\u2019re quietly sophisticated when contrasted with the luxe look of black and white.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
