Black and White Decor

Sometimes a space calls for simply black and white decor. Nothing more is needed, especially if the architecture speaks for itself. If your home lacks architecture, adding architecture in your lighting and accessories can omit the need for color. There is certainly something calming in the black and white color scheme.

I have a huge crush on black and white stripes -- I have Roman shades just like these pillows hanging on my windows in our breakfast room.

There is always black and white with a pop of color ... irresistible! Take a look, the options are endless:
