Black+White Styling

Black and white styling is always on trend and is a great palette for those a little nervous about getting started with home decorating.  I could look at images of black and white interiors all day long!  I love the sense of calm that a monochrome interior evokes.  Various textures and patterns and even accents of timber give a black and white theme a warm and inviting feel.  Layering throws, accent cushions in varying patterns and bold graphic artworks are simple ways to decorate with black and white to create a super stylish space.

I love the styling in this image!!  White walls and white painted floors, accents of black and timber and how about those shoes!

Vertical shelving is a great way to add interest to a small space.  I love the simple black and white styling of this gorgeous cross blanket, Eames chair and wall calendar. 00566d2b1aa1ff4699c9d25512e13f7c

Create interest to a black and white theme with texture and pattern in throws and accessories. 80c91af88e3a9dd69fdd5a8200240727

Washi tape is a great and super inexpensive way to create wall art using your favourite pics.  I have just ordered a stack of photo prints and can’t wait to re-create this look at home.

Spotlight on The Minimalist

Monday is mag day for me. It’s the one day of the week when I treat myself to time-out with a stack of interiors magazines and loads of coffee. It was one such Monday whilst flipping pages and sipping coffee, that I came across the super cool home of Leah and Darius Taylor in Surry Hills, Sydney. I got to reading and discovered this dynamic duo run an online store called The Minimalist.

The Minimalist is all about handmade things, especially limited editions in black and white and pops of colour with a focus on unique and unusual materials and quality craftsmanship.TheMinimalistYou can view more details of the above products here: 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 |
