How To Decorate With Black-and-White

The classic color combination makes any room — from bathrooms to bedrooms — sophisticated, chic, and timeless. From horizontal stripes to graphic floor tile, designers share their favorite black-and-white decorating ideas

 

 

6 New Color Combos That Work All Over the House

                                          1.Orange, Brown, and Chartreuse

Brown creates the perfect backdrop for these two very different, bold colors. "Orange is a very individual color, if I were to put an Hermes box on a table it looks amazing. It's a color that you identify with but you don't want to be steeped in," Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design says. "If you want to do a touch of color it should be original. Chartreuse is the same way and is so underrated. Orange and chartreuse like each other." But stay away from pastel orange, Andrews advises — it's wimpy.

                                2.Deep Teal and Cognac

 These two rich colors always work well together. "I find that a deep teal paired with a saddle brown or a soft mustard tone complements gray and natural wood tones," says Nayak. "It has a sophisticated look, and they work really well with brown, grays, and whites. Utilizing these neutral colors, you can do anything you want when it comes to adding texture."
                                                 3.Emerald and Mint

 Green is an incredibly versatile color and it pairs well with pretty much any other color explains interior designer, Alexandra Kaehler of Alexandra Kaehler Design, no matter what room you're using it in. "It creates a lot of interest and they're both in the green family but are such different saturations of green, it doesn't look like a green circus," says Kaehler. If you're trying to make it feel bright and fresh, pair these two colors with white walls or you can add a deep rich green with brown and all of a sudden it creates a rich, masculine energy.
                                        4.Navy Blue, White, and Wood

                                5.  Dusty Purple, Cream and Taupe

                    
                                6. Yellow and Green

When people are looking for a fun pop of color you can count on this retro '70s pairing. "These colors work together because they are slight derivatives of one another. They're in the same sort of palette, but are different enough to add contrast," says Andrews. "I think for every light color in a room there needs to be something darker to ground it — even if it's not a color, even if it's a metal finish. There has to be dimension in a room." Just beware of using pattern with these colors; otherwise it could look a little too retro

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Bedside Tables

"A good bedside table is as important as a comfortable bed," says decorator Markham Roberts, who includes many great examples in his new book, Decorating the Way I See It. "Sure, they should enhance the decor of the room, but they're really all about function. The key thing for me is that they provide ample surface space and storage. No one will be happy, even with the most beautiful table in the world, if they can't reach the light or easily put down a glass or a book."

Make over your home with decorating tricks that don’t cost a dime!

Who says you have to spend money to makeover your home? Here are some easy, fun and practical ideas for spiffing up your space without spending a cent. 

• Use old paint you have taking up space in the garage or shed, in new ways. Perk up a table, interior door, stair risers or a wooden chair that have seen better days by painting them in a bright, unexpected shade, or use painter’s tape to section off stripes to create borders on walls. Try painting a concrete floor for fun, perhaps in the basement laundry room. For wearability when painting floors, make sure to apply clear varnish on top of the paint once dry.

• Dig out those fabric swatches you can’t bear to part with. They might be just the right size to re-cover your old throw cushions for your sofa or bed. Fabrics don’t have to be upholstery-type either; floral prints, stripes or gingham are fun for the summer, especially if the colour scheme is similar so you can mix and match.

• Do you have boxes of photos that never get seen? Pull out some faves and replace your old framed pics with these ‘new’ ones. Group them in odd numbers on walls, shelves, coffee tables or mantles.

• Re-arrange the furniture. Sometimes just moving your sofa into a new corner, or placing it on an angle, can make a world of difference in how a living room looks and feels. Rethink what rooms your furniture pieces call home now. Why not move that club chair into your bedroom, near a window for a nice reading nook? 

• Use up ribbon pieces to pretty up drawer handles or knobs, or to create napkin rings.

• Put old wallpaper to good use by using pieces to create pretty drawer liners.

• If you keep old greeting cards that are too pretty to throw into the recycling bin, bring them out of hiding and display them in clusters on a mantelpiece or on a corkboard.

• Create a new headboard from a beautiful blanket or quilt. Just fold it neatly over the bed frame or existing headboard for a nice shot of fresh.

• Have an outdoor garden with flowers in bloom? Cut some and bring inside to enjoy in every room of the house. 

• Don’t use your wood-burning fireplace much? Move your potted plants (those that don’t need much sunlight) or a large grouping of block candles in various heights into that empty space.

• Mix two colours of bathroom towels on the racks and in baskets, rather than always reaching for a stack of the same shade. Try mixing your mint with aqua or turquoise with chocolate brown.

• Repurpose small, empty bottles to become single bloom vases. We like clear glass in varied sizes and heights. Group in clusters.

• Pull out those baskets you keep forgetting about and put them to good use to house magazines and books you’re presently reading at your bedside. Line with a pretty tea towel.
