How Decorate with a Black-and-White Theme
Can you just not decide on a color scheme for your room? Have you always loved the contrast of a black-and-white style? You might want to consider a black-and-white room for your home. A black-and-white theme can fit a variety of styles, from contemporary to French country. Although some find black and white to be rather limiting colors when it comes to dcor, you will find that there is often a lot of versatility when decorating a black-and-white-themed room.
Keep the Walls Light
With a black-and-white scheme, the last thing you want is black walls. The walls need to be kept light with a white or soft ivory color. If y oure planning on hanging black shelves or pieces of art on the walls, a light color will provide the perfect backdrop. If you want your walls to have a little more contrast, then perhaps trying painting your crown molding and trim black instead.
Add Patterns to the Black-and-White Room
You want to be sure your black-and-white dcor doesnt end up looking boring. A good way to avoid this is to add patterns to the room. You can go with any type of pattern, from stripes and checks to paisleys and toiles. For those who are really daring, you might even include animal prints such as zebra in the design.
In your living or family room, try a couch or chair with a black-and-white pattern.
Add some interest to the bedroom with a comforter with a black-and-white pattern.
In a kitchen or dining room with a black-and-white theme, consider patterned window treatments or fabric on the chairs.
Other accessories such as black-and-white-patterned blankets, towels, pillows, and wallpaper borders will also make an interesting addition to the room.

Change It Up with the Seasons
If you love to vary your dcor according to the different seasons, a black-and-white theme can provide a great background for all types of seasonal decorating. Seasonal accessories can be added: either small pieces like knickknacks, candles, and vases, or larger items such as artwork, an area rug, or a blanket thrown over the back of a couch.
At Christmastime, red decorations always go great with a black-and-white scheme.
In the fall, you can add orange elements to the room to give things an autumnal feel.
For spring and summer, consider lightening the room up a bit more with brighter accents such as turquoise or yellow.
It doesnt have to be difficult or expensive to decorate a room in a black-and-white style. You should easily be able to find pieces that fit perfectly into the black-and-white color scheme and yet also match your specific style. You dont have to stick strictly to a black-and-white theme. A strategically placed hint of color here and there will help add some personality to the room. When you add some of your own style and flair, you will make your black-and-white room feel like your own.
