Design Addict Mom: Black and White.

Black and White.

I love using black and white to spice up the look of a space. Adding punches of black and white into one’s home décor is a sure way to infuse interest and pack a graphic punch. Black and white is even more dramatic against light/neutral backdrops like the spaces featured above. How do you feel about black and white; is it packing a punch in your home? XX

Classic and timeless are these two colors that uplift my grays...but my studio is taking on my aqua these days and I am loving every inch of my space! HOW ARE YOU?

ENJOY and I hope you are not having the killer heat wave we are having..it was 117 yesterday and this is going on until Friday!!!! Anita

At July 19, 2011 at 6:14 PM , Unknown said...: I love the high contrast of black and white. My first apartment had a lot of it. And, as I look around now, I don't have much in the public spaces of our home (not sure why) but my oldesn't son's room is exactly that...black and white with colorful accents. It's a tiny room but one of my favorites in our home.

I definitely do use contrasts within my space... only one piece has black but the rest offer quite a punch as you speak of. The last space is gorgeous!

Hope you are having a wonderful week so far.
