Black & White Done Right

Interior Design

I’ve always been a fan of the classic look- my wardrobe is 90% black/gray/white, my sheets & towels are 100% white, and the vast majority of my home is black/white/gray/gold neutrals. I’m a firm believer that with a clean, crisp, classic pallet you can never go wrong! These black & white design schemes caught my eye and I thought I would share. Hopefully this will inspire you for the next around the house project that you have.

These black & white entry ways are perfection, especially if you have this style hardwoods and/or beams:

Of course, black & white kitchens will always be in. So beautiful. Just classic, classic, classic…

Some main living areas done right as well- all black & white without feeling cold:

And if you’re feeling really gutsy, here are some black walled rooms that totally work. I’m currently obsessed with black walls and I’m determined to have one in my next place. The key is definitely enough windows & high ceilings. Seriously, have you EVER seen a more amazing dining area than this one?!:
