Favorite Color Combination: Black & White

I’ve been playing around with different color palettes for our living room, which up until now has been very neutral. There are very few colors I don’t like but my favorite color combination (if I had to choose just one) will always be black and white.





Whenever I see spaces like these, I think I could be happy living without any other colors in my life. But we all know that’s not true now don’t we?
Thanks so much for all the great discussions this week. Have a great weekend!

I agree, Ally it is a classical peaceful combination, but the colourist in me wants to toss in a red cushion or a vase of yellow roses.
Have a great weekend.

My love for black and white started as a young student when I bought my first Stendig Calendar.

I love a black and white combo….I can never do it though, I always end up with wanting color. And I agree with previous comments…love when wood tone is added.
Have a great weekend!

i know! tried going black and white with my studio space. you introduce one colorful book or pillow and then it’s all downhill from there.

totally agree. Black and with with a little bit of raw wood is unbeatable.

I think the wood accents really make these spaces work. I love black and white and its the foundation for most everything I wear and design.

I am a black and white kind of gal myself. But this year I am trying to step outside the box and add some colour. Our new playroom/games room will be my canvas!

Black and white is my perennial favourite. I was seriously excited how Chanel used these colors for their 2011 cruise line – http://beta.colorpilgrim.com/subCategoryList.php?subCategoryId=266
