Black & White Love

Designing on a budget requires you to work with what you've got when it comes to the big things. Most of our furniture throughout our apartment is either black or white in a little too clean and simple manner (dang you ikea). So I've been scouring the internet to figure out how to take my simple furniture to a bit more glam of a look. I have in no way figured it out, but check out these stunning black and white interiors that are giving me some inspiration.


Add bright pop of color. I favor coral or pink. . .  always.


Make it look like it is all on purpose with black and white accesories


Keep it simple by limiting the clutter


Go big and bold like these wall stripes


Class it up by adding some ornamentation to your pieces

Create a  focal point


Make white the more prominent color by limiting the black only where required (floor) and in accents (those fabulous curtains and lamp shades)


Or be talented enough to do your own thing and hope it turns out like this gorgeous office, designed by Nichole Loiacono, featured in Adore Magazine


 Here is a simpler "winging it" version I might be able to follow
