Dreaming in Black and White: Why The Old Classic is Making a Comeback

Do you dream in black and white? While we’re not sure if we do, we definitely have been dreaming ABOUT it lately. From photography to fashion to interior design, a black and white scale remains one of the most powerful ways to express beauty in its simplest form.

CORE VALUES

Stripping the image to its core, black and white imagery allows the mind’s eye to be drawn directly to the details: substance, structure, shadow and light. Free from the distraction of colour, the viewer is suddenly endowed with a more intimate interaction with what is in front of them.

When it comes to interior design, the principle remains intact and even goes a step further: beyond serving to draw more attention to an image itself, black and white wall décor compliments the details of the space itself in terms of its layout and composition, namely how and what is placed between its walls.

BLACK AND BOLD

You can easily add drama to any space by placing black or white furniture against a black and white background. By placing a simple black table and chairs against a hi-definition black and white photograph, you can create a bold and luxurious ambiance in no time at all. Add some white roses in a black vase, a black fur throw and a black and white painting in a jet black frame to enrich the environment even more.

WHITE OUT

Conversely, choosing all white furniture against a black and white background will also create a starkly sharp look for your space. Create the ultimate ethereal sleeping space by placing a white bedframe with white linens against a black and white wall mural. Add a white throw and white paintings in white frames, and the space is transformed you’ll have a proper sleep sanctuary in no time.

COLOUR POPPING

A black and white background is a clever way to create balance when bringing bright colours into your space. If you have an affinity for vivid furniture and accessories, add a black and white wall mural or wallpaper pattern and see your space instantly transform. Statement pieces like a red couch or lounge chair will shine even brighter when complimented properly. For the final touch, add similarly coloured items onto shelves or tables tops to tie everything together neatly.
