Homes I Love: Black & White Simplicity

This house. Oh, this house. It makes me love my favorite color combination more than ever. I talk a good game about black and white but I just can’t stick to it without throwing in some other color. But these homeowners? They’re committed. And I’m so impressed.





It’s just so tranquil and all the little Moroccan accessories keep it from being too sterile. The black and white makes the perfect backdrop for just about anything so you could put any other color in there and it would work. But I’d leave well enough alone!

I’m not usually a fan of B & W, but this is delicious!
Loving this monochrome look – never tire of seeing that IKEA Stockholm rug, either!
That chandelier in the first photo rocks. Love your new look too!
It is so peaceful and as you said the owners did not steer from the black/white combo!! I don’t think i could have done it even though it looks perfect!
I think it’s beautiful for photographs but I couldn’t resist the urge to warm it up another color. Even plant or two goes a long way.
Wonderful ! Especially that first image
I’ve always had splashes of color everywhere, though for the last months (since I moved in to my new home) I’m loving living in a Black&White space.
Love your new look! And dang…wish I could just stick with B&W also…but It is just so hard! What would I do with my pink chairs
so simple yet so dramatic.
wow, they are committed. I love all the interesting pieces and stripes, really great stuff. I’m really drawn to the chandelier in the image behind the casual dining table… It looks almost feathery!
The charming white tablecloth and the white Tolix chairs are two of my very favorite things about this house!
These are good images for attic space inspiration as well cuz ppl tend to think they can’t make a space functional with a sloped ceiling. I especially like the are under the stairs being used.
ahh yes i love that black and white look with natural wood
It’s absolutely lovely. It is truly incredible how cozy and “finished” it feels, even with such a simple palette!
I love black & white, but I find these images almost hard to look at weirdly enough. That first image however is stunning. The table cloth just brings the image to life.
