What’s timeless when it comes to any seasonal style? Black and white decor is always a safe bet. I think there is nothing more chic than time-honored black and white awnings on a house or hotel terrace.
That crisp design choice can be applied to a wide range of home-related decor if awnings are not an option. Something as simple as black and white beach towels can add elegance to the most mundane lounger...so, what are you waiting for?
Black and white soft furnishings in bedding, decorative pillows and curtains are an easy way to infuse any home with a decorative punch.
This strong color combination will never look dated and tends to work with most other colors. I happen to like the simplicity of this combination but including hot pinks and yellow in the mix can really amp up the wow factor.
While cushions, towels and pillows are a simple way to start, the more adventurous homeowners may opt for a more permanent commitment to this color combo.
Striped wallpaper as well as black and white Crystal chandeliers can create the visual affect designers would try to persuade you to adopt if you were in that league. Regardless of how far you take black and white decor, to me, it embodies the brightness of summer.
1. The Robert Abbey Axis Blackened Nickel Wall Sconce is subtle but stylish.
2. Crisp and modern describes the Thumprints Saturn Zinc Cast Glossy White Table Lamp.
3. The Black Parallels on White Giclee Pendant Chandelier is an elegant but not stuffy way to brighten an island or dining space with a chandelier.
4. A pair of Circle on Black Cotton Throw Pillows on a white chair or sofa? Done.
5. This Horizontal Stripe Black and White Armless Accent Chair would look amazing in a covered outdoor space.
6. Poolside or on a terrace, the Chohan Black and White Mosaic Accent Table is the perfect resting place for an ice cold summer drink.
