Black and white is indeed an enduring color combination that is always hip and works well with any theme that you have picked for your house. While this bold and brilliant color duo is far more commonly used in both contemporary kitchens and relaxing spa-like bathrooms, it also works very well in the living room. While black and white bedrooms almost always come with bright pops of fabric accents, in case of the living room, one can create a truly monochromatic setting that only uses these two hues. Bringing a sense of sophistication and refined elegance, the black and white color palette is easy to work with and offers plenty of advantages.

A black and white palette is timeless and classic, with endless possibilities from subdued to statement-making. Whether you’re color-phobic or color obsessed, you're guaranteed to fall for these black and white spaces. The obvious contrast between the two colors allows you to highlight specific architectural features and decor additions with ease. While other color schemes come and go with changing seasons and interior design trends, black and white offers a safe alternative that stays relevant even decades down the line.

How To Swap Your Accent Hues

Even though we would love to keep the living room devoid of all color to preserve the black and white color palette, this is a task that is easier said than done. If your family has small kids, you might want to introduce a bit more colour into the room while maintaining your initial idea of a black and white tiled living room intact. But let this not discourage you from trying out the black and white color palette in your house. In fact, use the color combination to your advantage and introduce restrained, stylish accents that bring in different colors each season. The more neutral a backdrop is the more accent additions standout. From fresh flowers to colorful throw pillows, you can play with an array of accents once you have the right black and white backdrop! As can be seen in the image above, the colourful pillows and the centerpiece changes the whole hue of the room while still ensuring the main room is still tiled to be in a black and white design.

Contemporary And Minimal

Most modern homes tend to have a living room that borrows generously from the contemporary and minimal styles. Even if you are not going for a full-blown minimal style, clean and straight lines, wall-mounted cabinets and sleek decor ensure that you already have a semi-minimal look. The black and white color palette is absolutely perfect for this style of decorating! From the classic Scandinavian style to the chic Soho approach, the two colors help in making the living room appear far more urbane and classy. Normally, while black anchors the room and helps highlight its prominent architectural elements, white lends a sense of airiness and balance to the backdrop. In the image above, the ambiance of the room simply gets elevated by the simple white lines stretched on the black tiles and they add more character to the room, keeping things minimal but giving it a more contemporary look.

Finding A Blending Colour

At times, it becomes important to make sure that your room doesn’t look too black or too white. However, using sudden pops of bright or random colours could be a bit risky and a bold move. In such cases, it becomes important to find a middle blending colour. Grey is an important intermediate between black and white and is often the ideal color for decor additions in a black and white living room. Plush grey couches, smart side tables, and other accessories are both trendy and easy to find. This also gives the living room a more pleasing vibe even while keeping the black and white theme intact. Shades of grey closer to black lend a deeper and more serious look to the room while lighter shades of grey work well in small living spaces. In the image above, the tile highlighted has beautiful shades of black, white and the intermediate grey along with shiny glossy effects. Working with black, white and grey together here would help you give the best effect to the black and white theme of your living room.
