Are you looking to make a statement with black and white in your home? Here are 3 simple tips to make a flawless impact in the bedroom, living room and kitchen!<\/em><\/p>\n

Although decorating with black and white may seem simple, it can be overwhelming if you don\u2019t have a solid plan in place.<\/p>\n

With only two colors to explore you might assume you can mix and match accents as you see fit; however, there\u2019s more to decorating with black and white than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019ll walk through 3 different ways you can infuse this bold palette into the bedroom, living room and kitchen for maximum impact.<\/p>\n

Decorating With Black And White In The Bedroom <\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to spice up your bedroom with black and white, start with the main focal point of the room: the bed!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re weary about taking a big leap, start small by experimenting with your headboard, pillow shams and bedding. These key areas give you a spot to practice different looks before branching out and styling the rest of the room.<\/p>\n

If you feel confident in what you\u2019re doing, we recommend taking the leap and investing in a complete black or white bed to make a statement that can\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n

The Anastasia Bed in Black<\/a> dawns a luxurious ultra high headboard with sparkly crystals and silver nail heads that bring your black and white themed bedroom to life.<\/p>\n

\"There's<\/a>

There’s no better focal point than this gorgeous bed fit for a queen.<\/p><\/div>\n

We love the idea of stark white bedding to contrast with the headboard and suggest incorporating a textured neutral rug into the room for added exuberance.<\/p>\n

Keep your walls grey or white and your accent pieces clean so they don\u2019t take the focus away from your bed. Simpler, bolder black and white accents work best, as busy schemes can prevent you from getting a good night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n

Decorating With Black And White In The Living Room <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The obvious contrast between black and white allows you to highlight specific architectural features in the living room with ease.<\/p>\n

If you have gorgeous wall to wall windows, dramatic black and white curtains are a great way to frame them to make them pop. If you have a stunning crystal chandelier, a jet black ceiling makes a daring impact.<\/p>\n

When focusing on the living room, we like to keep the walls neutral and have fun with accent pieces.<\/p>\n

A dramatic black and white area rug is a good starting point. With the area rug taking up a good chunk of your space, you can design your living room layout atop the rug.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about balance. If your area rug is busy, keep your accent pieces solid. If your area rug is solid, feel free to play with prints and patterns in your accent pieces.<\/p>\n

One of our favorite pieces to include in a black and white theme is the Brandon Accent Chair in Black<\/a>. This button-tufted retro-!nspired chair looks beautiful in black and white spaces and !nspires hours of comfortable lounging as you enjoy your one-of-a kind living room.<\/p>\n

This streamlined black chair looks gorgeous in modern settings.<\/p><\/div>\n

!nspire tip: The Brandon Accent Chair in Black has walnut-finished solid wood legs, allowing you to pair it with other natural elements in your black and white scheme.<\/em><\/p>\n

Decorating With Black And White In The Kitchen <\/strong><\/h3>\n

With stunning black and white tiled floors, beautiful backsplashes and retro-!nspired appliances, the traditional design scheme of the 50\u2019s kitchen is still making waves in 2015.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re set on incorporating this aesthetic into your kitchen, start with fresh white walls to open up your space.<\/p>\n

The same goes for your kitchen cabinets. If they\u2019re wood, you can paint over them using high gloss interior white paint; we see this as a beautiful and inexpensive way to make a dramatic change.<\/p>\n

Next, focus on your kitchen back splash.<\/p>\n

Instead of digging out the current tile and spending weeks in renovation mode, consider investing in sticky tiles. They come in various shapes and colors and look just as professional as a complete overhaul.<\/p>\n

As for the kitchen table, opt for chrome or silver to complement your black and white theme.<\/p>\n

You\u00a0can keep it traditional with something round, or try a new-age design like the Frankfurt Dining Table in Stainless Steel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Looking<\/a>

Looking for a modern table? This is our top pick.<\/p><\/div>\n

This table\u2019s glass and chrome details are a welcomed upgrade to the traditional aspects of a 50\u2019s-!nspired kitchen, keeping your surroundings fresh and vibrant.<\/p>\n

Once you style your table with a set of retro chairs, your black and white themed kitchen is ready for its close-up!<\/p>\n
