Color Schemes: Black and White

By Irisinteriors @IrisHoulihan

Black and white spaces are timeless and dramatic. The color combination is anything but bland. Whether you opt for all out black and white or throw in pops of color with accessories, the stark contrast has a striking effect. Here are some of my favorite examples of black and white interiors:

White walls and a white marble countertop are paired with black cabinets. The prominently displayed collection of antique French glassware softens the design.

The bathroom is an excellent place to start if black and white seems too severe for larger areas of the home.

Bold mix of patterns.

White creates a cohesive look between rooms. A few well placed black accessories add edge to the bright and airy space.

Love this contemporary entryway with custom doors and black and white staircase. The white complements the sunny view of the water.

Another black and white entryway. Gold pairs nicely with the checkerboard floors.

A truly eclectic dining room with a mix of styles. The graphic striped rug is one of many unexpected elements.
