OH, THE DRAMA!
Everyone loves the look in the store windows at White House Black Market. It's time to bring that sleek look INSIDE YOUR HOME!
The use of black and white in decorating can create a stunning and dramatic decor. There's a rule in decorating that says that every room can use "a touch of black." You might think this is strange if you have a room of pastels or jewel tones. But think a minute.
Using the color black adds a focal point of color that grounds, anchors, and adds a sophisticated look to a room.
Look at these amazing rooms from our friends ELLE DECOR. It might change the way you think about B&W design.
