A Powerful Scheme

I've always felt that using black and white in home decor is a sure way for creating strikingly elegant and sophisticated interiors. if you're looking for drama and want to create a bold statement in your home, this powerful and basic combo is the ticket. Some might find it boring for the lack of color, but surprisingly it's quite the contrary. Think of white as a blank canvas and black as the outline of a drawing that you can fill in with pops of color whenever you feel the need. As a matter of fact, this is the design story I used when decorating my 500 square-foot New York pad, and it worked perfectly for me. Besides, one of the great benefits of this color scheme is its versatility with most decorating styles. If you're still not sure about embarking on a black and white adventure, and to prove my point, here are some stunning interiors from the talented photographer David Prince's body of work.
