Black & White Motif...

Despite providing the ultimate contrast...decorating with a black and white pallet can prove quite challenging.

There are so many ideas and considerations besides just the obvious balance in colour...ranging from lighting, ceiling, wall and floor issues...to adding textures and patterns...how much is enough? What are the right accents and accessories to incorporate in order to create your perfect space..?

To help you I help you decide I have focused on highlighting some ideas that may help you in deciding on how to implement this motif...

Black & white can be simple, elegant and endearing...given the chance.
