Versatile Black and White Decor

A high contrast black and white decor theme is exceedingly versatile. Black and white interiors can be crafted to become light and simple spaces, or plunge dark dramatic depths. Indeed, these three home tours each deliver inspiration from entirely different takes on the monochrome theme. Tour one is a minimalist space empowered by heavy black statement walls and dark furniture pieces, whilst our second featured home is an ethereal white living space that is only lightly peppered by the black decor element. Our final monochrome home tour equally straddles both ends of the contrasting black and white decor spectrum, with natural timber components included to build a modern rustic warmth and added texture.

Going heavy on black notes, our first monochrome interior is a powerful setting for modern furniture pieces and an open plan layout. A flexible modular sofa provides seating for two sections of the living space, facing both into the television area and toward the fireplace on the other side of the room.




The low level modern coffee table has metal trims to complement a silver grey rug design.




The fireplace nook is a compact, cosy layout with minimalist aesthetics. The floating fireplace is suspended above a hearth that wraps the corner of the room to build a completely bespoke look. A black Wireflow 3-D LED Square Pendant stands out starkly against an all white backdrop.




Plasterboard has been applied along the midline of the walls over black brickwork. White window blinds continue the seamless midline flow, along with colour coordinated interior doors.




The visible black brickwork makes bold borders around the ceiling and baseline of the room.




Abstract line art brings a pop of white to the living room’s black statement wall, where a ribbon of LED light spills down the brick texture.




A shining gold KAWS Companion stands in pride of place on the TV wall’s sleek black media unit.




The wall art reflects in the glass fireplace screen of the asymmetrically positioned modern fireplace. Cut logs stack tidily on the separated hearth beneath.




Side tables have been decorated with unique planters, which show black soil through their clear glass sides.




The side tables are cleverly positioned to work double time for both the fireplace nook and the TV facing sofa. The TV wall doubles as a room divider between the lounge and the hallway of the home.




Even the coffee table book is themed black and white.




Over in the dining area, a ceiling hugging light fixture mirrors the circular outline of a pedestal dining table.




The black and white dining room leads directly onto an open plan kitchen.




Curved-back modern dining chairs smoothly hug the outline of the rounded table.




A smoky decorative vase and stylish fruit bowl make a tidy centrepiece.




Black and white kitchen decor is split in dramatic two-tone.




Monochrome kitchen accessories take the colour theme into the smallest details.




A home workspace slots into a private niche around the corner from the kitchen. Black walls cocoon the built-in desk.




An attractive wooden border tucks away an LED strip, which negates the need for a space consuming desk lamp in the shadowy nook.

Our second featured home contains another decidedly minimalist interior, but this time with a much more ethereal aesthetic through an all white living room. The designer reflects, “When the spiritual world is rich enough, the material desires in the world will become light, and turn into the ultimate pure. Put aside the form and the complicated and trivial foreign objects, and bathe in the crystal clear stream of consciousness.”




White materials bounce natural sunlight brightly throughout the minimalist living room.




Black and white fish swim through a large aquarium.




Interspersed black accent pieces disrupt the all encompassing whiteness of the scheme, occurring as a unique lounge chair in the living room and a luxe black marble table in the dining room. A black linear chandelier complements the table’s colourway and accentuates its long length.




A casual dining area is connected to the end of the kitchen island, with additional seating added to the island itself.




Gold kitchen bar stools elevate the luxurious finish of the glossy white marble kitchen island.




A second sitting room offers another beautiful green view.




An arc floor lamp drives the visual flow to the centre of the room, where a sectional sofa is split into an almost sculptural formation.




The bedroom is a blissfully peaceful space that’s embraced by a low level shelf around the perimeter.




In the white bathroom, a small side table adds just a touch of marble by the bathtub.




White plinths display intriguing sculpture.

Our third design is a 100 square metre apartment in Kiev, Ukraine. Natural timber elements have been introduced to thread warmth through black and white elements, adding a hint of rustic charm. A layered look cancels out minimalism in this home. A pair of grey rugs overlap to fill out the lounge area and double the softness underfoot.




A black and white kitchen design stamps a pixelated outline behind the lounge.




Open sided shelves build a see-through divide across the home entryway.




Timber planks style a rustic TV wall.




A wooden worktop splits the black and white kitchen island, forming a breakfast bar on one side.




Under-cabinet lighting illuminates a contemporary chrome and black kitchen mixer tap.




Inside the master suite, the platform bed is a soft winged design that comfortingly envelops the sleeper.




Floor lamps have been used to reach high over the winged headboard.




A column bookcase and slimline media unit make up a crisp linear TV wall.




Dark shelves are backlit inside the walk in wardrobe, making light work of clothes selection.
