Arty and her husband, Frantz, a tech engineer, are in the

27 Striking Black and White Bedrooms

July 24, 2021 admin

Few color palettes come together as easily as black and white. This isn’t to say that the combination is dull—far from it. In fact, a black and white room can be just as dynamic as a room that’s full of color, especially when an abundance of texture and shape comes into play. As a bonus, black and white are remarkably serene when used together, making this opposites-attract palette a natural fit for bedrooms.

The mood of a black and white bedroom all depends on how you style it. Opting for black painted walls can set an ultra-dramatic tone, while white
