Color and the mixture of colors has always helped us to express ourselves, but nowadays we have also seen a trend that speaks to us of the simple and the minimalist. With the arrival of the Nordic style we find open spaces in black and white tones, without more color. These environments are elegant and offer us a contrast that always works.
Let's see how to decorate a black and white room for our home. This pairing will always work, as an excessive white needs its opposite, which is black. If you dare with this trend, we give you some inspirations.
Your walls first
One of the first things you should ask yourself is how it is going to be the base of all the decoration. That is, in what tone will the walls, ceiling and floor go. In these cases in which we want to refer to this simple pairing, we can use white walls. This tone on the walls has many advantages although we must say that it can also get boring. White walls reflect light, make our bedroom seem much more spacious and also make everything seem bright, so it is always the best option. Some blank walls are like a canvas on which we can put almost anything because it will stand out, from paintings to a tapestry or sheets to decorate.
In these cases we also find those who they risk a little more and decide on the black walls. It is not recommended, because everything will seem very dark, but it has an elegant touch that is unmatched. In any case, you can only paint one wall and leave the rest blank. These walls make if we use light wood or white furniture they stand out much more.
Add black and white textiles
One of the ways to decorate any space with charm consists of choosing the textiles well. Without a doubt, textiles are a very important part and constitute the final touch when decorating our rooms. In this case we would have to look for ideas in black and white, which are very popular in the Scandinavian style. So that we do not find a room too basic or boring, we can always resort to some prints on textiles. In this case they have looked for a classic, which is the striped pattern. It is also a good idea to add a nice carpet that covers the floor and simple white curtains.
Little touches of color
The splashes of color in small amounts They can help us to vary the decoration in black and white. This binomial can get boring easily, so our idea is to have a few cushions with a matching blanket to add to the set. We can vary with a touch of pink or with one of yellow or orange. Tones that stand out from the simplicity that we have chosen for our bedroom.
Help yourself with the prints
The prints can be the key to use black and white but create an original and different environment. In this bedroom we can see several things that are interesting to us. They have added tiny touches of yellow. But they also have an animal print rug that contrasts with the pattern on the walls. On the other hand, on the black wall we can see a relief that provides texture to the entire wall. Thus we are faced with different elements that give a lot of play to something like black and white. If we use elements like these we can enjoy original black and white rooms.
Black and white children's rooms
Children's rooms are often full of color. In this case we see how a Nordic room has chosen white and black as its basic tones, with some gray in the middle to reduce that contrast. The result is totally cool and is still a fun space for kids despite not incorporating color. They do this with the addition of unique and children's pieces such as Lego storage cubes, dolls or patterned bedspreads.
Gray is the middle ground
El gray color is the middle ground between that black and white contrast. That is why it is a color that can be used to soften both without breaking that contrast and simplicity. In many Nordic environments they use the gray color to give sobriety and relaxation to the whole. In this room we can see how well it looks on its walls. The set is totally Nordic, with simple pieces, basic textiles in black and white and details like that fur blanket or the glass vases.
Minimalist style
El minimalism is one of those styles in which the basics are sought. So if you like it, it is probably a good idea for the environments to be in black and white.
