The art of styling black-and-white home decor isn’t too difficult to conquer. While reflecting on my COCOCOZY Design House project, black and white is a common theme throughout almost every room design. I am now realizing that the old saying “opposites attract” is a true concept even for interior design. Opposing home accents can work together to generate a cohesive space. More than any other color duo, black and white home decor is a complementary color palette for almost any home design style: traditional, modern, rustic, farmhouse, etc. The colors create a synergy that can help elevate any blank room. Learn how to style the timeless colors in your home.

Black And White Exterior

Black and white home decor dates back to the 1920s. The monochromatic color combination can be adapted in many different styles including modern, traditional, rustic, contemporary, and glamour. One of the most popular exterior designs is white brick. The best thing about black-and-white home detail is that it evolves with home design trends. There is a classic elegance of black and white furniture and decor. Making it a go-to color palette for decorating a cozy home.

How To Style A Black And White Living Room

When it comes to designing a black and white living room, always start with a neutral base. Typically a big ticket item like the couch would be considered the heart of a living room. Once you have that neutral staple base you can continue to build the design by adding texture and layers. But first comes the furniture, some of my favorite brands to shop for black and white furniture include Lulu & Georgia, One Kings Lane, and Arhaus.

The Importance of Contrast and Balance

It is imperative when styling a room that there are both contrast and balance. While monochrome interior design is sleek, we do not want it to be boring or monotonous. You can break up that monotony with patterns, and mix them in the room when it comes to rugs, pillows, and other decorative pieces. This way the color scheme is still intact while adding some contrast to the room.
