Black and white decorations are classic and have befitted the space of many homes and interiors throughout time. This achromatic duo has seen a resurgence in modern trends and is an oldie, but goodie.

Even when dealing with two widely different styles, like traditional and modern, these hues are go-to palette pleasers.

Popular Home Styles that Use Black and White Color Schemes

Modern decorating elements have high contrast black and white colors paired with neutral grays. Oftentimes using understated accents and minimal décor enhance the features of these spaces. Lighting in these rooms should blend with the environment and mimic the same strong contrast in a tasteful manner.

This high contrast trend is not only popular in modern homes but also with farmhouse decor. These colors work well with rustic farmhouse materials, such as wood floors, exposed beams, black plumbing and hardware, brick accents, subway tile, and shiplap.

To keep up with this growing trend, we offer a number of fixture styles in these muted colors. Pair your room with a variety of our black and white Collections.
