Classic Black and white Decor.

I've had black and white on the brain lately.....
I've been buying black and white clothes, shoes and designing a living room for a client using some beautiful black and white fabric.....
I find it a classic color combo...... 
It looks wonderful in clothing and decor.

It doesn't go out of style... 






 

Color looks great with black and white, or  simply go with an absent of color.........but I love when an  animal print is added.........like this belt!

 The art is going to be the focal point in the living room that I'm designing.....

Designed by Bob Brown

 The art is the focal point in this room....
 the eye isn't distracted by color but it simply gazes at the gallery wall...
it looks classic and sophisticated....
and well balanced...

 A good designer has a natural eye for balance...

I'm not sure that can be taught...
I believe it is instinctual...

you either got it or you don't!

The details and the fabrics create the interest in your room... 
I always suggest to my clients.......
buy great fabric for the pillows it will add interest and it will help your home look unique...
don't skimp on the details....
other wise your home looks like everybody
 else s..
 it should  represent you and your family.

Try to find accessories that add a little surprise...
it doesn't always have to be expensive... 
I like going to flea markets or antique stores to find vintage lamps and those one of a kind items...

Ok... this could be dark brown and white, but it looks so great that I had to add it to the mix...

This is our fabric for the pillows...the leopard might be an ottoman...
or 
I might suggest a black lacquer coffee table or a marble and gold table......

Which table idea do you think you would like?

I like the detail in the drapery that Toby Fairly added and the wallpaper in the wainscoting.

This is the drapery fabric on the right....

There will be a little mustard added to the room....but our walls will be dark and our furniture will be ivory....

 

This is the sofa we will be using but in an ivory Linen....the wood will be in an ebony.

 

and this is the chair we will be using....but also in ivory.

Like I said....classic!

 It will be available in other areas soon......I will keep you posted about it and I will take pictures for you of the brewery....
