For a timeless appeal, opt for statement pieces such as wing chairs, Louis armchairs and Ottomans. Try upholstering in big pattern and big impact fabrics, such as Black and white Gingham, Chevron Stripes, or even Zebra stripes if you dare!
Aside from going big and bold, detail is also important, such as the smaller prints, texture and finishes, and even touches of glass and metal. Add to the scene with personal taste items, like sepia images or a dramatic print or cowhide rug.
If you don’t want the stark contrasted black and white, feel free to add greys and charcoals to the mix, and don’t be afraid to mix up the prints and patterns. This can also help to break up the black and white and make the overall look a bit more subtle. For the guests rooms, luxurious white linen goes great combined with indulgent black, charcoal, and shades of grey.
There are numerous ways to decorate in black and white, no matter what your style. The important thing is to explore your ideas in great depth for a design that is truly magnificent.
