Wallpaper Black & White

A black and white scheme is open to infinite interpretations, especially in the proportions used. On the one hand, you can favor the lightness of a mainly white room with dashes of black accents; on the other, you can focus on the drama of a largely black room with specks of white; not to mention the many, more balanced combinations in between.

While stark white and pure jet black give the strongest contrast, you can get a softer effect and the same elegance by using variations of the two shades. There are lots of broken whites, from just off white through ivory to rich creams and oatmeals. Charcoal gray, gunmetal, and dark-stained woods offer a variety of blackish tones. A range of these colors, combined with an assortment of textures, ensures a room retains warmth and character without sacrificing the startling simplicity of the effect.
