Decorating with Black and White...

Sophisticated.  Dramatic.  Contrasting.

Using an all black and white color palette in a room certainly makes a statement!

View these rooms and tell me...do you like the black and white?  Or do you feel the urge to add a third color...something calming like pale pink or light blue, or maybe something bold like coral, red or kelly green.

Room #1:  The consistant color in this room allows for many different patterns to be used together...

Room #2:  A calmer take on the contrasting colors.  Using solids makes this room gentler on the eye...

Room #3:  A pretty bath...but what if that vase of flowers were a color???

So what's your vote... keep the rooms "as is" or add a third color?
